I will try to explain further why the PS3 can never follow the path of the Playstation and why it will never hit $200.
What I was trying to point out is that there is only a small portion of the general gaming population who sees videogames as being important enough to spend more than (about) $300 on a system. Just because these gamers are willing to spend more that (about) $300 doesn't mean that they will spend that much money on a PS3; between the PC, XBox 360, PSP, Nintendo DS and Wii there are enough competition for their attention that a PS3 may not be something they buy.
What this means is that the PS3 is going to sell like crap until it becomes inexpensive enough to tap into the general gamer market (say $200 to $300). The unfortunate consequence of having low sales is it becomes difficult for a developer to turn a profit producing games for your system so their attention is focused elsewhere. This produces a cycle where developers leave the system because of low sales, which in turn reduces the sales of you system.
The PS3 will never last long enough to see $200 ...
