We? If anyone, Sony are the ones losing it, not the customers.

It's simple: If you think the 360 has more interesting games, then get a 360 instead of a PS3. You'll save few hundred bucks by doing so aswell!

Who buys a console based on which company made it? Who manufactures the hardware is irrelevant, games are what makes a system.
Yea I know that Sony is responsible for losing the console war, of course. I know that the games and not the console manufacturers name is more important. My question more specifically is how did Sony end up not having as many great console exclusive top rpg's being released for it in it's first 18-24 months of existence? This seems interesting to me. I remember Playstation 1 and Playstation 2 seemed to have more, not sure though.
The high price and overconfidence put off many customers, I'd say. And they're not doing much to fix that.
