ChichiriMuyo said: Sony doesn't get going in the first yaer in terms of games. What Squrriel misunderstood is that. They sold PS2s quickly because everyone knew good games would come based off of the PS1. Now they know they won't come in the first year, so of course they haven't bought one yet. If Sony gets a remodel out in time for Christmas, they will tear it up. Granted, MS can drop the 360 premium to $300, but if there's a $400 PS3 in the US and a $350 PS3 in Japan there will be a war. A real one. This? It's a prelude. Sony was more worried about killing HDDVD than XBox360 for the first year, they'll probably worry about their console business in the second (like they did w/ the last two).
The PS2 (and Gameboy Advance) were two consoles that represent a perfect merger of the correct product, reasonable price and appropriate time ... The PS3 in many ways could be seen as having been released too early ... Sony fans believe that this means that sales will pick-up later; I believe this will lead to the PS3 selling poorly, losing support from third parties, and eventually lacking the game selection to attract customers later.
