So drop the price of the damn thing, get some more developers into developing for the damn thing, and provide some easier development tools to the developers!, and before someone says 'but the reason the PS3 is priced at $XXX.XX amount is because it comes with bluetooth, WiFi and other features'. This arguement has been going on for a long time but the features do not justify the price tag.

Well I do disagree somewhat. Rather than the PS3 dying I'd say it's finally starting to gain momentum. With an increasing number of quality exclusives and a (theoretical at least) price drop on the horizon, it might actually gain a decent foothold. The only potential hiccup is, as was mentioned earlier, the possibility of the 360 dropping its price also. The PS3 slim might be a step in the right direction, but a lot of that depends on the pricing.
As far as the features of the PS3 justifying the price tag, on the one hand they do because if you purchased the same features on a 360 it would actually cost you more; however, not everybody needs all of those features so it becomes more of a luxury that many can't afford or justify for themselves. In the end everybody just needs to look at the features, gameplay and game library of each system and make their own decision. Each system has pros and cons, and as of right now I don't think a single one of them is "dying".
