I agree the parallel is more similar to the PS3/360 comparison. and the Wii is selling similar to that of a non gaming product, because it is so different.
The PS3 is only slightly behind the 360's track record which has been around for twice as long.
And for the general college male market in America the PS3 is overpriced.
Sony (as a whole) is hitting their target market right now
They are not going to compete with Halo, they will wait till it has passed.
This Christmas will be the first real holiday season for the PS3.
They have an entire range of gaming, handheld PSP, midrange PS2, and the high end PS3.- Making for the most successful gaming manufacturer out there.
Sony is aware of how much the console costs.
I think what it comes down to is that most people just cant justify buying the most expensive console, and this will always be the case.
But imagine how nice it would be if the PS3 cost much less, or if the current nintendo system had the same technical specs as the PS3, that would be a gamer paradise!
̶3̶R̶D̶ 2ND! Place has never been so sweet.
