Well we all know the PS3 has launched with a price point that has some scratching their head. If you take time to look at the features you will see that it is not a bad deal at all. Take a look at the 20Gb model for instance at 500 dollars its only 100 dollars more than the 360 with the hard drive. For the extra 100 dollars you get a Blu-ray movie player. If you were to buy a Blu-ray player by itself it would run you around a 1000 dollars so yeah its a great deal. The problem is is not everyone is ready to take the HD jump so the added Blu-ray player looks like an extra 100 dollars instead of a great buy on a HD movie player. That brings me to what I think the bigger problem is for the PS3 and thats the year head start for the 360. Not only does it have over a 7 million sales lead but it has most importantly second year software that is being compared to ports and first generation software for the PS3. Also during 2007 I expect that Microsoft will leverage their lead with a price drop right when the PS3 starts to get its feet under it. I only see one problem for Microsoft and thats Japan. Two software titles in two days on the new Wii system outsold software for the 360 that has been out all year ! With the 360 having no traction in Japan the PS3 has a chance to even the playing field. I have not mentioned the Wii which I think will out pace both of the more expensive systems at least for the first year or so. In the end I think all the systems will have its share of great games and in the end I don't think we will see a dominate machine like the PS2 was and still is.
