But your talking about 5 to 6 years before the PS3 is going to be priced for the casual gamer? Do you not think that there will be wii 2 hd by this stage, and possibly xbox 720 which will be priced as compeditively? Can any product have anti-hype around it for 2 years or more years and come back? Is the boost in sales temporary while people try and get the last few that have there price cut (the 60gb ones).
I think the PS3 is an amazing piece of kit, and obviously the most powerful console out there, but I am a little more sceptical about PS3's future. I'm trying to be objective, though i have to admit i have a wii and have looked at buying either a ps3 or a xbox 360. The premium xbox is not far off half the price of a ps3 in ireland at the moment, and considering you get a game with the xbox and component cables, it would seem to be the more attractive option right now. Though if money was no object i would probably go for the ps3.
Anyway I would like to hear your thoughts.
