As everyone know the initial selling price of the Next-Gen systems had a remarkable increase price. Take for example the X-Box vs X-Box 360, the starting price had a 67% price raise. While the PS3 had a 100% price increase. While all the games had a 20% price increase. The question on my mind is, taking from the recent iphone example, was this price gouging from the firms? Can we expect large reductions in the system's cost, as we here constantly of the price cuts done in Japan? If the manufacturers plan to keep the current price level will this drive away loyalist consumers? And if that is the case, what of the exclusive game console manufactures, will they accept the drop in revenues?

In my opinion these next-gen systems aren't worth it, I plan on taking my business to the computer gaming market. The current technology exceeds these gaming consoles and the transition in technology is more continuous, so I don't have to suddenly drop $800 in gaming equipment. I could buy a gaming computer system with that much money, as long as I build it myself, in fact that is exactly what I am doing.
