| krik said: Can't you guys get over the nonsense crap Sony PR put out at PS3's launch? By now Sony pretty much turned it around. They cut PS3 manufactoring costs and immediately lowered the PS3 price. They have some kick ass games coming out of their own studios and also great 3rd party support. They offer free online play and are working on making the PSN even better with Home, etc, and it's still going to be free. They have a great piece of hardware and a very reliable console. Eventually games like MGS4, FFXIII and GT5 will push more consoles in ALL regions. Free online play and Home will push consoles in ALL regions. Blu-ray will push consoles in ALL regions. Sony is in for a good 4-5 years, can the same be said for MS or even Nintendo? As far as I can see Sony is about to make history by turning a failed console launch into a very successful console. Now my far fetched prediction... I predict a $299 PS3 with full software BC by Christmas 2008. Also next Christmas , the PS3 will more than double 360 sales (for the season) and will beat the Wii.

No offense Krik you sound like a GC fan from last generation. Everythign from lowering the price to games yet to come out.
Blu-Ray will only be a temporary bump it has won the HD format wars. More manufacturers and models will be build before the end of the year and competition will drive the price down to the sub 99 dollar range with in a year. The PS3 will not be able ot keep with the price drop and at below 99 dollars many people will just buy the Game Console of their choice + a Stand Alone Player.
This is not a PS3 is doomed thread though as there is room for many more price cuts than usual and the increase of sales from these bumps plus a higher weekly rate from being at more consumer freindly pricing will keep it respectable.
