I find that assumptions like this are fairly unrealistic being that the decision to launch at a reduced price for the PS3 would have probably meant that the functionality of the PS3 would be reduced (potentially losing Blu-Ray playback, Backwards Compatibility, and the Hard-drive); and their competition would have made different choices to make their product more competitive.

Would a $400 PS3 without Blu-Ray playback be as popular as a $300 XBox 360 and $200 Wii?


 The general topic has no assumptions of its own. It merely asks for other people's assumptions. I then went on to post my own assumption to my own question, Still not detering other people from posting their own assumptions. Its a "what if" topic.  And in my own personal opinion, remembering the hype for the PS3, Yes a $400 PS3 with a blue ray player would have destroyed an inferior Xbox 360 for $300 without a blue ray player back in the fall of 2006. Now, after a year though of Sony losing significant mindshare, they are about even with the 360.
