@ jstam I meant the basic hardware specs with the Cell, Blu-Ray, HDMI 1.3, Wi-Fi. etc are very high end and state of the art of modern technology. There are already millions of units sold in only a couple of months, the PS3 has a long term strategy and doesn't need to beat its competitors right away. especially with the PS2 still performing so strongly. I think mass sales of the PS3 would be more interesting for Sony, when they are cheaper to make for them.
