ehn, here's my take.
PS3 will get it's sales, and just die off earlier than planned. Howeer, with the other systems, it'll be the opposite.
This game's winner is NINTENDO.
Seriously, it's like they have the old Sony innovation. even if the wii-mote is a stupid idea, i feel so compelling to try it. and the DS is just a s uperior hand held system. When the DSL came out, i was on it day of. The PSP is more expensive, and seems more fragile. Plus, what the hell is a UMD? and what else uses it? Great, I get to buy all my movies again for the PSP.
Oh, and the DS is region free. And they are releasing a mini SD adapter for it, so basically, it just matched the PSP in memory.
But, this is a PS3/Sony thread. Sony will always be a leader in the electronics market. They have the name behind them for the most part, but in Japan, so many people trust Sony, and so many game companies in Japan put stuff out for the Playstation. However, with the new Blue-ray's, (which i saw at CompUSA, and it reminded me of when regular DVDs first came out, and CDs at 16x were fast) some smaller companies may not go to the PS3. THe gaming market has become very expensive. Hell, I'm struggling at 50 a game, I can't imagine more. (one reason i do not have a 360)
I'd say, 400 is the most, absolute most I'd ever pay for the ps3, and it had better be amazing. Hell, I would have gotten a Sega Saturn for 499 if i actually had money when i was like 12-13.
Right now, I have a DSL and a PS2, with modchip and hdloader. simple, effective, and quite enough for right now.
