oh diomedes, all fanboy talk, and nothing to back it up.
How can you be sure that the PS3 will hit $199? Especially in Europe? And how can you be sure people are purchasing Wiis right now because it's cheap and believe me, $250 is not cheap. And how can you be sure by that time, Nintendo won't drop the Wii to oh say $99, like the GC?
How can you also be sure the PS3 will win over the 360 in hardcore players, specifically in NA where the majority of the games you like are being developed?
In truth you don't, but you keep trying
