Never trust polls (in particular online polls) because they're easy to manipulate and they tend not to say much of value ... Certainly, if the PS3 was $300 or $400 its demand would be much higher but the fact is that it is not $300 or $400; the PS3 that you can find is $600! In all likelyhood the PS3 will be $600 for most of 2007, $500 for most of 2008, $400 for most of 2009, $300 for most of 2010, and finally be in the $200 range in 2011; this means that the PS3 will not be in the price range that most people buy their system at until Microsoft (after 6 years) and Nintendo (after 5 years) are setting up on releasing their new systems.
