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.

 

Well I can respect that then, but the reason it is easily taken as an attack is because it has zero to do with the topic at hand. It is mearly an off-topic dig at the current PS3 position. 

It would be like some going into a Star Ocean 4 sales thread where SE says they are happy with the sales and people come in and say it is disappointing and that 360 is doing bad because PS3 is selling on par.

The above has happened and I know not many users here were crazy about that and didn't like it. (In regards to people saying SO4 sales are disappointing)

I don't know that it is that off-topic.  It's pertinant too why the sales of Killzone 2 could be perceived to be disappointing.  For me, the game as a game has sold well.  But it certainly didn't live up to the hopes and dreams of Sony fans, especially with regard to system support.

Star Ocean 4 is a bit different.  I (and I think most reasonable posters) expected sales to be about where they are.  But at the same time I DO agree that they are disappointing.  Its just where Killzone 2's sales were disappointing relative to the hype generated by fans and Sony and the (presumed-granted we dont have solid numbers) budget, Star Ocean 4 sales were probably always going to be a disappointment to series fans, and they acknowledged this prior to launch.

From the moment Microsoft (presumably) moneyhatted the fourth installment, this was likely.
