They did deliver. They just paid the price of releasing a system near 3DO/Neo Geo level price levels due to Blu Ray drive and a few other things (Cell). What I find funny is that the PS3 was the cheapest (at the time) Blu Ray drive available. It should have perhaps sold better at the time but there are only a decent amount of people that are willing to throw down that kind of money on new tech. The mass market price is around 200-300. Now you see the PS3 selling even better once it hit that price point. |
I think the PS3 was well worth $400-$500 ($600 is pushing it) considering you got a Blu-Ray player, a large HDD, a good (and free) online network, and probably the best next-gen console. It's also great at playing Netflix, image quality I find is better than the 360 or Wii U even.
Considering that Sony is still giving the platform a ton of support well into its 7th year with The Last Of Us, God Of War Ascension, etc. I think it was well worth it.
I'll gladly pay $400-$500 if PS4 is similar.
