Does live still charge, does the elite still not have wifi? Sony easily offers the best hardware if all systems are at an equal price, and they'll likely have the most great games by that point.

 

If you want to talk about cost of ownership and add it to a console's price, why not add cost of electricity?  PS3 consumes a LOT more electricity than a 360 (and 360 in turn much more than a Wii), so if you want to talk about Live being a necessary cost (and there are quite a few million x360 owners who don't seem to care about online play), you need to consider all costs of ownership.

Not everyone needs wifi either... I keep my network hardwired on a gigabit lan.  I'm glad I didn't have to pay for extra features I'd never use
