Its true that the competition is different this time... think about it
Last time Sony had to deal with Sega (which should have done better then it actually did) Microsoft, who was somewhat new to the video game console market, and the GC which turned up too late and didnt seem to get the 3rd party support it needed.
This time around MS not only has experiance in the VG console world, but also has been out for a much longer time. Nintendo has done brilliant job with the Wii in its advertising, and the low price makes it tempting. Sony, this time around, has a much larger competition. the PS3 made a somewhat disappointingly low impact at E3. It is the most expensive console by a few hundred. It also has sort of mediocre launch titles in comparison to what the Wii had (not that the wii's launch titles were all killer apps) and the xbox360 had a year to get some good hits out.
Its true that expectations are unrealistic, but with the success of the ps2 that is to be expected. Give us something good!
