The PS2 at 299 that was just the launch price in NA. In japan it was a little bit higher and in continental Europe it was 400-450 Dollar. Just want to add that.

to the text yes there are some similarities. Hard to develop for. I can remeber that the Developers said the PS2 was a pretty tricky console. Games ? Dont know. I had a DC and afterwards a GameCube. Price was high (here). DVD-BR yes that was similar. DVD was in the year 2000 new but it was adopted faster because there was a huge need for a cheap mass storage device.

The situation on the Gaming market was completly different. And the PS3 will never dominate the market as the PS2 did for obvious reasons. I think the PS3 will make a good second place. There is even the chance that the PS3 will be at similar numbers the PS1 was b/c its selling faster. I think the Wii expanded the market pretty much so the total numbers of all three consoles could be huge.
