I've heard a lot of people using this as a way to get over the Wii name, but like Nintendo, Microsoft released a statement as to why the Xbox 360 was named such.

Haha, that is completely stupid. You know what I can't stand about Playstation fans? They act like its the only system. I'm a diehard Xbox fan, but that dosen't stop me from admitting PS and Nintendo has good shit too. I'm actually happy to hear that Sony is redesigning the Boomarang they originally tried to call the PS3 controller.
I don't want to sound like I'm knocking the Wii, I'll get the thing, it's seems very unique and cool. I'm looking forward to it! And it'll be cheap...whoohooo!
As for the PS3, I think Blu-Ray will be problem as well, it'll make the cost much higher and I can't see the PS3 selling at only $400 and making Sony any money at all, and I think if it releases above $400, like the estimated $500-700, they'll be hard pressed to sell much at all.[/quote]
