Actually you have to change that to 240 million Mrstickball. The Sega Saturn had built in memory and the PS1 did not. So for two generations people have done what Crazzy said was beyond his imagination.

Okay, this might sound like a crazy question, but how come the people who want Halo3 and would buy a console for Halo3 haven't already done so for Gears of War? Seems like the exact same audience.

Before they play the price game maybe they should fix the hardware quality issues.

A 300 core would be nice if i could trust it not to break. 

Good Point JSF, I also can't imagine too many people who wanted Halo 3 that haven't already bought a 360.

I think a common misconception is that people who want Halo 3 already have an Xbox 360. I've heard of a number of people who reserved the game and don't have a system at all. And, if Halo 3 is the game that pushes them to get a 360, there would be little to no reason to pick up a 360 now. Same goes for the Sony fans who want MGS4 and FFXIII before they make the jump. They definitely haven't picked up a PS3, there's no reason to, especially now.

 I know quite a few actually.  They are different games and Gears of War doesn't have the Halo name.  People know they like Halo and they will buy it and the console just because it's Halo just like people do with Pokemon, Madden, and all those other games that don't do a lot of changing.

 The only problem with MGS4 is it's a cult favorite and that's about it.  Yeah, I know the people who frequent the internet forums love it but these people aren't a majority.  I except MGS4 to sell systems but nothing significant.  

Even Blue3 said that MGS4 wouldn't be a system seller, MGS4 is a game for a niche audience, valued for its quality, not its mass appeal to move a console and with suspision abound that there may be a 360 version I wouldn't bank too much on MGS4's pushing the PS3. FFXIII? Maybe, but even Blue3 said that doesn't sell as much as Grand Tsurisimo and if FFXII only sold 5 million copies on the 100+ million instalation base of the PS2 then things might not turn out as well as many had hoped for the next FF sequel. So using either of those two games as examples is kind of losing steam now that even some hardcore Sony's fans won't back them as legitimate system movers anymore.

Perhaps you're right though and Halo3 will move a ton of 360s, but the PS3 might not be the best example for comparison during these uncertain times.

I dont think Nintendo would need to, BUT!!......here is the BUT!

If Nintendo is making this many Wii's per month, and indemand, a lower price would catapult them higher and faster. Nintendo is making money off Wii, a lower price I dont think would hurt them....But, would Sony follow suit and lower the PS3??

Who knows we might be getting into a prics war for this Generation??

Stick, you need to learn how to read broken English. Crazzy isn't saying that he can't imagine people buying a system without internal saving, he's saying he can't imagine people buying one without having some way to save period. And for the 360, as he's saying, it's more economically viable to buy the premium since it gives you all the save slots you could ever use and more features on top of that. By what he's implying, you cannot reasonably compare two different systems.

And I'll be damned if I'll let that Saturn comment stick, Dark. It was one save slot, and the data get wiped if you put a different game in. You still needed an external memory cart.
