I think people mistake consumers for waiting the PS3 to drop with consumers waiting for consoles price to drop altogether. You can't show in sales that anyone who didn't have a next-gen console was holding out for a PS3, bro. It only showed the ones holding out had more time to weigh pros, cons, and wants out of the market that gave them their best answer at that certain time which, looking at sales, was PS3 and now Wii with it's price drop.

Well, a lotta people who had either or both the 360 and Wii probably want a PS3 but it's not their priority right now because most games are multiplat so if they got a 360 they ll buy games for that but when the price drops, then they might consider getting a ps3

Maybe but the point I'm driving is with your thread post.  It's not about everyone waiting for the PS3 to drop in price is basically what I'm saying, when you consider what the general consumers want then you have price to worry about.  Let's say PS3 drops to $199 but won't have demand for it in comparison to Natal (doubtful but just saying) bundled with 360, the consumer will decide what they want more not the price (in most cases).  I'm basically targeting the saying "Consumer buying PS3 for the price dropping $299, imagine if........", whether you disagree or agree with the first few sentences just bear in mind there's more variables to be had when considering hardware sales.

I agree with you. You have some valid points about that but we also do not know if MS is launching a new xbox next year because it seemed like Steve Ballmer slipped up but retracted his statement so let's keep our fingers crossed. Whatever the case, I'm anxious to see what next year is gonna look like because MS is really depending on NATAL
