So, a 20% decline in sales for the PS3 from November of 2007 to November of
2008 is "holding its own"?

I am hoping that when KZII and GOWIII cone out, that PS3 sales will rise
again, along with a price drop. But, if their sales range the same after
those releases, then something may really be wrong.

One loose-lipped exec from Europe already stated that at least in Europe
the PS3 would drop in price around March.
