$600 dollars for the premium full console. What are they thinking? Honestly. If you drop 600 dollars on the console itself, then Sony has just proven that they can sell a console at whatever price they want, regardless of what the consumer thinks. Look at the PSP - not as popular as the DS. I'm hoping and thinking we'll see a repeat between the Wii and PS3.
Wii is innovation. Wii is the revolution. Wii is the next step in gaming. Nintendo is being innovative. kudos to them - and supposedly at only $200? If this is true, they've made a console that not only can appeal to all audiences but can be bought by them too.
Xbox360? One game - Halo 3. That's all it needs. However, I'm looking forward to Gears of War as well.
All in all, I really hope Sony loses a lot of sales, customers, and market share. I just don't like them.

Actually, at the core of it is...... wait for it.....
A 3.2GHZ PPC! YES! The same that the XBox 360 has, only $200 more expensive!

Exactly, so why buy a 600 dollar ps3 or even the 500 dollar one (which doesn't have any wifi?!) when you can buy a 360 complete with harddrive and just as much power for $400? I think a majority of gamers (who aren't Sony fanboys) all lost a lot of faith in Sony after this year's E3. And i doubt that they'll lower the price, because if they did, then they'd most likely be losing a profit. Wii and Xbox 360 are going to be at the top of the market this gen. Wii has innovation and gameplay, and 360 has power and excellent graphics. Both systems will attract both casual and hardcore gamers. The only thing Sony has going for it right now is the PSP, which is still losing to the DS. poor Sony...
...well not really. haha
