My opinion - Sony's big mistake = PS3 launched too cheap

Initial sales would have still been strong. PS fans would easily still spend $1kUS on a PS3. It doesn't matter that sales would be lower - Sony is making lots of cash, and they can ramp up production slowly as needed.

 

I disagree, there are alot of Sony fans out there that wont drop 600$, let alone 1000$ (Including me!)

Japanese consumers have the cheapest price and still wont buy, so can you imagine if it launched with a price 66% higher than it did? Sony would probably repeat the 3DO failure of the 90's.
