Analyst: PS3 Dragging Sony Down

RMS PLAYSTATION IIIThe PlayStation 3 analyst hate train just keeps on rollin' with research analyst Michael Comeau's latest piece for TheStreet.com. It's the typical fare, dogging Sony for their pricey inclusion of the PS3's Blu-ray drive and taking Sony to task for losing precious third-party exclusives (including the former time-exclusive Grand Theft Auto) like Guitar Hero and Virtua Fighter 5.

But Comeau's warning that Sony will lose market share combined with the fact that the PlayStation business has "provided more than 60% of Sony's operating profit despite hovering around 10% of overall Sony revenue" should give shareholders and Sony execs cause for concern.

I happen to love my PS3, but even my software attach rate is a meager 1:1.
