Am I the only one who thinks $400 is still expensive?

Mainstream, Mainstream, Mainstream. This console was not made for the mainstream.

Well then if you accept the fact it's not mainstream, you'll have to accept the fact that it won't sell to that much people. No big sales=less games and less exclusives. No big sales is also=less money for the company. Which is not good for them, so quit thinking only of yourself and see the big picture!

 Really??!!!?!?!?  You believe Sony shouldn't make a great machine that may be a little ahead of its time, then as time goes on, it becomes mainstream. The PS3 wont sell to poor people as of now, those people will say anything to justify not being poor. You should take your own advise and consider the whole picture, which is that Sony has the PS2, PSP, and PS3.

$400 is still expensive, yes. But not for a PS3 

Once again Sony fans just don't get it ...

Sony decides to build a system that is a little ahead of its time, so it sells poorly because it is too expensive, loses marketshare, loses exclusive and multiplatform content, which in turn causes lower interest and slower sales ... All so that they could release a system which is far less powerful than a gaming PC, where its performance advantage over the XBox 360 and Wii is going to be ignored by everyone except for techno-geeks on webforums, and the system will likely be remembered as one of the biggest mistakes in console gaming ever.

If people actually cared about processing power the PS2 would have been killed by the Gamecube or XBox, the Playstation would have been killed by the N64, the SNES would have been killed by the NeoGeo and the NES would have been killed by the Genesis.
