If you read my post (just a bit higher from yours) this isn't the first time a console was launched that broke the "magical" 400$ barrier - and I don't think it will be the last time, either.

History has a terrible habit of repeating itself. It may not be Sony, but you can bet your bottom dollar that someday, sometime, some company will.

If next next-gen will be at $500 price tag it's still nice. Only the strongest competitor can risk as Sony  does right now. This "war" will not give us such dominant player. 

I actually have to bite her and say I disagree. As it looks now this war might get a dominant player, Nintendo Wii. Japan is more or less already won, it is (I think) still supply constraind in USA. In Europe it is doing better than most Nintendo consols has done. I wont say that it will stay that way, but as it looks now Wii can become the PS2 of this generation.
