Honestly though, how can anyone still believe that Sony is the must have end all be all of consoles? No one is doubting the power and capabilities of the PS3, but Sony is shooting themsleves in the foot time and time again with BS like this. MS and Nintendo seem to be doing things right this generation, but Sony's cockiness has blinded them to what consumers really want.
People on welfare buy $400 rims (each) and $200 sneakers.
This is going to sell out.
I predict the PS3 will end up just like the PS2 did; With people shooting each other to get the limited # of consoles at launch, a dirth of must have launch games, and a great library of games in a year.
Eh. Big release PS2 games go for 8800 in Japan. 9800 is about a 1000 yen price raise over BIG release prices, pretty similar to 360 to Xbox price raise. The 6800 to 8800 leap is unbelievable until i see it. Even so, i haven't read anything specifying it'd be the same price structure for US games. If it does hold true, we'd be looking at $70 games. ): SNES/N64 days, boo.
If that $70 price structure for games holds true.. Yikes! Sony's sticker shock will make it the sole domain of deep pocketed gamers and collectors.
You gotta think that every developer planning a PS3 exclusive is currently working on a 360 port.
