For example I'm just casual customer. Go to the shop and see Toshiba HD for 500$ and Samsung BR for 1000$.

 WTF? I'd buy HD-DVD, there is no doubt about it.

 BR gonna have hard time -> low support from movie companies -> death

If you were a casual you wouldn't but a new technology for $500. 

innovator > early adoptor > early majority (casuals) >  late majority (casuals) > laggards

we are still currently at the innovator stage

If you look at the recent polls in Japan, PS3, and Revo are neck and neck regarding the interest of Japanese consumers. Half a year ago, the PS3 had a monumental lead in Japanese polls, but momentum is beginning to shift in the land of the rising sun as Japan has once again embraced Nintendo, the DS, and their vision of innovation.Starving-Artist

Polls were similar back in 2000.  While the GC sold as well if not more than the PS2 certain times of the year, the lack of games killed the GC in Japan. 

Maruyama previously said that they were hoping to sell 1million units in Japan by summer because it would make developing for the xbox360 easier for the developers. 

Doesn't look good for xbox in japan... again. 

But what did you expect with only 6 launch games, 12 backwards compatibility games, no RPGs, and your best selling fighter delayed.

Can you provide us with the links to the blu-ray drive used in the PS3?  Cause I can't seem to find any info... 

Anyone going that is going to miss the booth babes?

I'm going to miss the Namco booth babes the most..

they probably put that in there to get rid of the annoying anti-booth babe people that were there. 

i don't recall seeing much at E3 last year anyways...

2. The PS2 used a a DVD drive when DVD was already out on the market for many many years. In contrast, BR will almost launch with the PS3.... early adopters always bear the cost and heaches of new technoogly. Thank you Cows. :lol:
