i think resistance and LBP can compete with gears and fable

Possibly. But a $400 PS3 can't compete with a $200 Xbox 360. That's where the battle lies - in increasing the userbase.

Plus, I don't really see Resistance selling more than 6m copies to match, or beat Gears...LBP and Fable are a tossup, although I don't "get" the LBP hype.

 

400$ includes a 80gb harddrive, blu ray, wifi, and a better quality machine.

that the 360 don't have.

if you add the HDD and wifi on the arcade its already more expensive than the ps3.

watch the developer talks if you don't get the game if that game doens't put a smile on your face there is nothing more  i can say to convince you since i certainly be wasting my time.

And how much of that do you need to play Gears, LBP, Fable 2, or Resistance?

Answer: You still pay $400 to play LBP or Resistance 2..Or $200 for Gears and Fable 2. You don't need Wifi, a 80GB HDD

I don't think the consumer is really going to look and say "OMG! 80 extra gigs and wifi for ONLY $200! How can I lose?!?!?!"

Consumers care about PRICE. If they cared about Wifi, Blu-Ray and a huge HDD, then why is the Wii selling more than the X360 and PS3 combined in many areas?

Again, and I'll keep saying it, during Christmas, what looks better? A $200, or $400 system? Not everyone cares about bells and whistles, and wants basic next-gen preformance for the games.
