I never said it doesn't effect hardware sales. What I am saying is that it shouldn't effect hardware sales, because most westerners have or can easily create the cash to buy a 399 system. 399 is nothing, even a student willing to flip burgers for 2 weeks would have enough for a ps3. Thee average, educated worker should have no problem affording a ps3 without complaining about expenses.
