Yeah, Sony badly, badly needs a big price drop. It won't save them from finishing third, that finish is definite I would say, but it'd help a lot, those November sales are pretty bad in comparison.
Very true. Games are quite expensive to make now, so companies are extremely risk-averse, which means more and more sequels and franchise titles, and fewer and fewer new ideas. New ideas and new IPs are dangerous, less likely to succeed and make your money back, and when you're spending that much, you don't want to do that...

The problem with TV 3-D is that it needs glasses. Sure, it looks cool, but you need to be wearing glasses to see it... 3d TVs that don't need glasses will really help. Of course, right now you can only do no-glasses 3d on a small screen, which is why the 3DS will be just about the first thing with it...
