North America and Europe may get the new Monster Hunter game this week, but Japan, where the biggest base of the series’ fans exist, is getting a couple of nice PSP bundles, Sony Japan announced today.
The PSP New Hunters Pack comes in either Radiant Red or Vibrant Blue. The bundles include a specially decorated PSP-3000, a copy of Monster Hunter portable 2nd G (that’s Monster Hunter Freedom Unite for our western readers), an AC adapter, and a battery pack. The Monster Hunter franchise is one of the biggest sellers in Japan, giving Sony an enormous base of loyal PSP owners in the east.
There was no announcement about a North American or European release of the bundles, so if you are interested, you might want to import one of these packages. The bundles will be released on July 23 for ¥21,000.

So now 23 Million Units sold is bad. Since When!!!!!
When PS3 was released it was 8 Million consoles behind the it's competition. Guess what. It's still 8 Million Consoles behind the competition. If that gap was widening I would agree with you. But it has not. They have kept pace with the competition.
And just like you stated, these new games have more content than before. I think the reason why the attach rate of the PS3 is lower than most would "want" is because the games last longer. I am now spending days (all hours added together) playing one game versus hours playing 4 or 5 games (compared to my PS2 Days).
The PS3 price drop will occur this fall. During the console's third (3rd) year. Hey, isn't that when Xbox's price cut was. In the console's third year of it's life cycle, right. Makes sense if you really think about it.
You have two products with two different lifecycles. Please please please keep this in mind.
When it comes to developing for it, this is where I give it M$. Since the Xbox functions just like a PC, the developers have a low (really low) learning curve. The PS3 has a huge learning curve. But look at what is possible if the time is spent learning it. You have great multiplatform games (COD4 & 6:MW2, EA Sports Games, Devil May Cry, Assassin's Creed, Burnout Paradise, etc). Then you have awesome exclusives (MGS4, Uncharted, Ratchet & Clank, Resistance, Killzone2, etc). I know that there several flops out there (Ghostbusters, Half Life 2, etc.)
These games are evident that it is very possible to put out a very solid game on the PS3 that also looks and plays great.
If the developer does not invest the time into the console how can it expect to the get the returns into the console. If you only go in with 50% you will get back 50% if you are lucky. See Developers like EA, Insomniac, Guerilla Games, Konami, Naughty Dog, and Media Molecule.
