The PS3 is going to sell at least 35 million more consoles, which would be quite successful in my opinion, but hitting 100 million? I doubt it.


I think the $300 price point of the PS3 is worth another 5 million consoles, a $200 price point worth 25 million consoles, and $150 worth 5 million. Depending on word of mouth, increasing Blu-ray popularity, and other factors, I'm sure each of those price points could push more consoles, but it would take some luck.

so when do you think the PS3 will drop to $200.00, this year?

those are fine price point's, but the very fact were in a recession, that has less of a chance of turning around anytime real soon,

These system's will I think be on the market far longer than some people may otherwise think these system would not because of

"after 5 or 6 year's" the hardware is too old. that is less and less of a factor in Consumer Electronic's than it is in the PC industry, yes there is quite an overlap. In this generation of system's but the Consumer Electronic's have never had top set boxes at this price that has had this much functionality all in one convergance topset box.

Media center type windows and Linux PC's are the only type that have come close to that for what would be a topset box for your living room in computer entertainment.

an that is one of the big problem's not many buy Media center PC's because many people do not even know their PC can do that, many HOME PC user's just have experience with I send EMAIL, surf  the internet, maybe play some game's here and there. some people do not know you can add a TV or USB turner to their PC's and watch and record TV's on a HD sreen that their monitor has that resolution already in CRT's for year's.

Many still do not even know that the PC's can do that. its just not that people are dumb or anything like that, it's that they have not had the time to learn about the full function's of PC's less and less time in the day to learn is the problem, or they have no desire to do so.

these system's fill that VOID

the very fact that both the xbox360 and the PS3 now also do Nitflix as part of their function's, and that the boxes are fully updateable. would that be less of a reason for people to not keep using the PS3 or xbox360 or more of a reason over time?

I think it's more not less.

Netfix is just one of the function's
