I don't think most people care that PS3 has a BR player and more advanced guts than its rivals - likewise, most people don't care that the Wii is inferior to the PS3 and the X360 graphics- and performance-wise. Would a mere price drop really make the PS3 that much more desirable over the two other systems?

Yeah, in the long term a mere $100(Expected price drop) can make the PS3 more desirable over the two other systems. Lets look at the PS3 and X360.  In Canada the PS3 is $399. After the drop $100, its $299. $299 PS3 vs. $299 Xbox Pro(60 GB).. Its going to take some months, but people are going to start to see that the PS3 is going to be more desirable console.

 

Fair enough - care to list what these things are? The only definite advantage the PS3 has is the BR player, IMO - is that enough by itself?. Its games & other services aren't that much more impressive than the 360's, otherwise it would've probably caught and passed it by now.

Also - the PS3 has had a single official price drop, fine. But I'm pretty damn sure that that drop wasn't 200$, 'cause that would've seemed desperate to everyone else. I honestly can't remember - did they just terminate all their more expensive SKU's to drop the price (which could be counted as drops)? Wikipedia talks about a series of price revisions, that's why I'm asking.

1)Blu ray & games released on Blu Ray discs instead of a DVD.

2)Hard Drive: Its price freedom on the PS3. You can probaly get a 120GB hard drive for less than $100. A 120GB 360 Hard drive is over $100

I cant get into a techincal discussion cause I dont have logic in that area. But, I'll say this and I will leave it at that. I see a difference in PS3  exclusive  games then Xbox 360  exclusive games. RE5 may look the same on PS3 and 360. However,  I think KillZone 2 looks way better then RE5 on both systems and KillZone 2 looks way better then Halo 3 & Gears 2. Services, never tryed "live", but I think the online play that Sony offers on the PS3 is great and Home looks real intresting. I still havent see videos or people talking about a Home like clone on the 360.
