The real winner this generation has been sequels and remakes (not counting first party from either front). Sony's bizarre failures stem completely from the over priced hardware and the virtual lack of truly exclusive software. A price cut (150 without Move) would do wonders for the system, a heavy integration in to the PSPhone and social gaming with strong (small, quirky) exlusives will vault the system with 3/4 huge releases a year that fall in to sports, FPS and action. But just like the film industry, the game industry is suffering a bad case of uninspired shit. 3-D gaming on 3-D capable televisions would be amazing but the tech is just taking hold on the market and is still a few years off.
When the time is right, a "PS3-D" with two 3-D glasses, 3-D blu-ray demo of games/film clips and Move for 250 and a year of Netflix's proposed streaming 3-D movies will create a home entertainment system everyone will want. What will hurt Sony is that Microsoft will probably do it first without blu-ray. Nintendo is going to test that market with 3DS and streaming 3-D movies/apps and gaming. Now if they could just get it in to the living room.
