This is enough to destroy wii fit with advertisement

SDF, is that you?

When it happens I will laugh the hardest.

 Won't change anything, see unlike Wii fit, eye toy lacks the exercise appeal plus it lacks the fun factor of Wii fit, plus that advertisement isn't family friendly, look at Wii fit ads, soft, friendly, family fun, on the othe rhand Sony ads seem to be more about power and agressiveness, appealing to 13-35 males yes, but not to the larger market

leo-j,

PS3 is not competing versus the Wii, at least for the moment, even with a 300$ price point, they will not attract the same crowd.

BTW the bolded part is completely _correct_.  You buy a devkit for 10k. Nice. Then you have to *publish*  the game. You need Sony's permission, and you pay licensing fees to do so.  This is Sony's cut of every PS3 game sold. That's how Sony gets paid for selling all those consoles at a loss! How do you think Sony recovers their HW losses? Magic? You play a flat fee upfront, plus a decling fee per unit sold.  THis applies to anthing carrying the PS3 logo.  Similar thign applies to using the Blu-Ray logo.  You can't just start printing BD movies - you gotta pay the fees first!

Ninentdo is famous for being *very* militant about licensing fees. If you didn't pay Ninty to use the Nintendo 'gold seal' on your games, expect to find yourself in court.  There were a number of 3rd party developers who tried to sell 'unlicensed' games for nintendo systems.  Nintendo sued them all into the ground. Maybe, having lost the last two generations, Nintendo is nicer now. And maybe Sony, having won the last two generations is teh bad guy this round....

@Leo. Oh dear.

Wasn't that meant to happen in late November, no wait - 40G release, or Europe bundle? 1st price shuffle?

Or perhaps you want to go down Crazzys route of naming 20 games that will somehow turn PS3 sales into top gear.

Just be happy with 2nd place, the PS3 is a good enough machine for you not to care about sales.

While I admit this is possible, I am thinking it would be funny if this was a rumor started by some XBox people so when the PS3 doesn't drop and the 360 does in March for GTA it will be all the sweeter.

Remember if they sell 10 million units this year, that would make this a 1 billion dollar decision. So this should not be taken lightly.

Personally I will be buying the PS3 when it hits $199 and has BC. My PS2 is dead and the only games that will pull me to Sony are Final Fantasy, Final Fantasy, and Final Fantasy. If I get PS2 emulation going on my PC first I may wait for the PS4.

If this does happen I predict the 40GB will have BC added this November to boost it's value along with a major pack-in title.

If they did go with another SKU (even though they said they are done with that game) they could do it with a 2 gig flash drive. Enough for a few game saves and to go online. Then sell a bigger hard drive separately.

To be fair about leo j he was right about 1 prediction, lost odyssey wouldnt move 360 hardware above 10k in japan, he was right, surprisingly. To me this seems to good to be true, so that means it is. Ps3 probaly wont see a 299 price tag til at least the summer.
