Some of the comments in here are priceless.

Anyway, I believe the system will start to sell like mad now, good for Sony, good for the industry!

Actually Price cuts/competition are rarely good for the industry, but good for the consumer.

Um, without the consumer, how would the industry survive?

That's the paradox; they need to entice us to buy by presenting goods at tempting prices (or tempting goods at high prices) but also need to squeeze enough out of us to make a (solid) profit. The consumer is the best friend and worst enemy of the industry, the latter especially so when they start making demands.
