Double bubble nearly for 360

I never understood why some sony fanboys feel compelled to compare the price of the ps3 with that of the arcade 360 . The arcade model had been on the market for almost 3 years without a price cut. What did some people expected , that MS would never drop the price of the arcade ? The ps3 should be able to sell better than the 360 even at a higher price . It's newer, has a lower installed base which translates to lower possibility of market saturation, has more features and is the PLAYSTATION 3. It's not like it's that expensive , you can get one + 2 popular new games + extra controller for just a bit over 400 euros .Some of you are making it sound like it costs 1000 euros/$ or something . Plus it's a blu ray player .

I never understood the comparison either. They didn't make any comparison when the PS2 launched before the Gamecube and XBox and the price of the PS2 was always lower. The PS2 had a year head start and dropped their price before the Gamecube and XBox. So the PS2 of course sold better then the competition pretty easily. With the original PS1 a huge success, we knew the PS2 would sell well. With a lower price it sold millions.

Now the tables are turned and PS3 fanboys are comparing prices because the PS3 is getting smoked in software and hardware sales. How ironic. The Wii is not the PS2 and Sony and their fans don't like it.
