Who here thinks ps3 is Sonys' last videogame console?

It's so simple, they won't ever again release a console at a so huge initial loss and so expensive, I don't think they'll follow completely the Nintendo way with HW sold at more than cost since the beginning, but they'll be more prudent anyway. A little ambition about specs compared to competition will remain, to allow the console to have a longer life, as it's a part of Sony model that showed to work quite nicely, simply this time they went too far and above all they completely botched the launch, as launching PS3 simultaneously WW and without shortages would have meant a smaller gap from XB360 and reaching some months before the production volume necessary to allow every price cut, maybe making possible to price it at $350 last XMas. Staggered release and shortages in the early life, just when novelty excitement allowed it to partially counter the negative effect of its high price, damaged PS3 a lot, with negative effects dragging on even in the mid term, Sony must be 100% sure it won't be so clumsy ever again... Well, considering they were almost as clumsy with LBP launch, I'm quite pessimist about this, they'll survive as after a while things start going better, but it looks like clumsiness in these issues is written in their DNA and so, if they are lucky, they must content themselves to compete for second place for a long time, at least until Nintendo forgets its past mistakes and becomes arrogant again.
