"EEDAR's Jesse Divnich believes consumers have been waiting for a PS3 price cut and if they don't get it, they'll flock to Xbox 360 this holiday. Gears of War 2 is expected to top all software sales this holiday, said Divnich." "The $399 price point is simply too steep to entice the casual and mainstream markets, regardless of how great Resistance 2 and LittleBigPlanet may be." Source |

Expensive is a relative term. At USD399 for a all that the PS3 can do is relatively inexpensive. But when compare to the other consoles selling at half of that, then it becomes relatively more expensive.
I wish Sony the best come this holiday season because it won't be that jolly at all. |

Although I am a L9 Newtype though, better evasion and accuracy, plus longer range attacks (poison playing Robot Wars Z)Serious note, we won't know the real answer until someone can come up with a price elasticity data for consoles on current market conditions. |
