The problem with the whole "just wait" thing is that is exactly what people are doing. Why pay $600 for something now when it won't be really put to use for a year or more?

And I don't see a problem with that. If the PS3 would have an installed base of well over 100 million right now, it would put Sony in serious financial problems. Currently the are profitable, adding value to the PS3 step by step, with the install base gradually increasing.

I said that so I don't know why you're @ing Sqrl. And c'mon. That is complete BS. You're going to tell me that over 2 million unsold units of the PS3 is a good thing? If you don't sell it, instead of loosing $200, you've lost $800.

Lol, had me confused for a moment. Although I do agree with the quote. And I also don't buy that sony wouldn't love to have 100 million installed PS3's right now. They would be in huge debt but my god their profit potential would be enormous.

Thats not to mention the fact that it would give the format war automatically to Sony and Blu-Ray.  Which is another source of huge profit potential.
