The PS3 will be 299 or less by the end of 08 early 09 BD players are already reaching 300 bucks and with the removal of the EMO engine and a die shrink on both the CELL and RSX, it will be very cost effective. Sony has put themselves in a good position by using the CELL in other products and using a BD drive that is also in other products. It allows them to sell more in other areas while reducing production costs overall. This all helps the PS3 price in the near future. Also by the end of 08 we will have all of the games people are waiting for at the moment like GT5, Lair, MGS4, FF, TEKKEN6 etc. etc. These games alone are system sellers. There online service HOME will also be in full effect.
If Nintendo releases an HD version of the Wii, I think they will be shooting themselves in the foot. They already stated that HD isnt what they are after, so they need to wait until the next console release. It would piss off a ton of people that bought the SD version...as did the release of the "Elite" 360 with HDMI. They should have included it in the beggining instead of taking pot shots at Sony wanting 1080P, HDMI and BD.
