We've been through this before if price was everything PS2, at $99 would be outselling everything rather easily. Price Cuts & TIMING make the difference.
PS3 isn't going to be under $200 until 2012 or later. PS2 was $200 in 2002.
2000 ---> 2002 vs. 2006 ---> 2012 is completely different from a timing perspective.
I also have trouble with the whole idea that people really cant afford $300. How hard is it to save $25 a month for a year? Thats how I used to buy games when I was in middle school and highschool. Some people won't buy because they think PS3 isn't worth $300 but thats a different issue.
The other problem with this argument is Wii & X360. Both are still $200. Do you think Wii has only sold 1/5 of its eventual penetration because it isn't a "mass market" price yet?
People are difficult to govern because they have too much knowledge.
