Takashi, you keep asking what things would be like if the PS3 were priced at $400 like the 360... Well for one thing, Sony would be losing even more money than they already are. They'd have to hope that all of the people buying the console would be buying a crapload of games to offset the losses that they would be adding to their considerable losses they are already getting. Of course there are other things to be considered, like establishing their dominance in the HD-DVD/Blu Ray war. In the end Sony would love to be able to magically sell the PS3 for 400 bucks, but it's just not that simple.
About the "Sony's got a 10 year plan for the PS3" argument, that just won't work if the console never takes off. It's a fine idea IF the PS3 becomes a viable console.
Back on topic: Sony won't be pulling the plug on the PS3 anytime soon(plenty of time left for it to grow, BR agenda, Cell agenda) or the PSP(it did rescue us all from the portable gaming ghetto after all...).
