Sony PS3 in Hard Economics

Like most gaming systems the Sony PS3 was launched before Christmas to create a huge rush and desire for it during the first couple of quarters. The plan worked like most of the time. However now the sales have begun to decline with everything else during the hard economical times. The PS3 isn't the biggest gift on the top of every gamer's wish list. Other things I guess have taken precedence and accessories are more of a better gift idea than the new system. Retailers are still reporting a Christmas increase and shopper have not stopped yet.
