Um... how about the... ohh I dont know... The DVD? If you remeber way back when.. the DVD wasnt doing so well.. especialy in Japan.. until the PS2 came out then people baught the PS2 mostly as a cheap DVD player. The same could hold true for this generation of consols .. though there are HD DVD players out that are cheaper then the PS3.. your forgetting that the PS3 is still in its launch cycle, they havnt introduced the first round of price cuts to it yet, and unlike previous years when they realesed low, and found there equipment going for much higher on EBAY there using the echonomics of scale to there advantage, getting the people who are willing to pay out of the way first.. then treating the rest of us later.
