It has rumble now so why complain about it?

People keep bitching and moaning and Sony gives them what they want. People bitched about rumble, they got it.

People bitched about all those features on PSN that were lacking as opposed to LIVE, they got it.

People bitched about a lack of games, Sony really gave it.

So what does Sony get for it? More bitching and moaning.

 

If Sony dropped the price to $300 tomorrow I guarantee we would still have people complaining that it is too expensive.

Whilst I agree in part with your post, the fact is the PS3 would still be too expensive at that price.  Three years (by the time they actually drop it) a console should not still cost $300 for its cheapest rendition unless it is selling out.

 

Period.

 

After 2 years the 360 dropped to $279 for it's cheapest model, when the arcade debuted.

Then it took until after the 2 1/2 year mark for even the arcade to drop below $280.

So how would that not be too expensive but if PS3 was in this position it would be?

 

This is what we keep getting at. It is not too expensive, if it was then the PS3 would not be selling as close to the 360 as it is.

 

PS3 hasn't been out for 3 years yet, it has been out for a little over 2 and a half, a little over 2 in Europe.

Although a half year in 2 territories and almost 1 full year in another, no big difference right?

 

Thats just it.  The Xbox 360 IS too expensive.  The only reason it took so long to come down in price is the advent of Rrod and the costs associated with it for Microsoft.

Please stop assuming that I am knocking Sony to promote Microsoft.  Until very recently, the Xbox 360 was overpriced, as the PS3 still is.  And hell, look at the Elite.  I mean thats just ridiculous.
