Wow. That is such a sheep comment. It's now time, Senjuro, to justify yourself. I gave my more objective views in the first post, but now let's get to the debate. My stance is that Sony is trying to leverage their name brand status so that people who feel a loyalty to the Sony brand will want to spend $500 to $600. Sony will not drop the price for several years, and I believe that it will not be reasonable at ANY point in its lifespan, which as I said, Sony intends to be 10 years. That's right, I just said the PS3 will never reach a reasonable price over its entire 10-year lifespan. I love my PS2 because it has some good games that I love playing, but I will NOT be forking over more than $400 for a complete video game system. I know the PS3 will have some great games, but unless it has some that I simply cannot put off buying, there's no way I will be getting one.
You say you're loyal to the PlayStation brand, though, and I can respect that. But you made a sheep comment there that you need to justify. Nintendo betrayed nobody. Nintendo has only grown more leniant on their standards since the NES days. If anybody betrayed video games in regards to Nintendo, it wasn't Nintendo, but the third parties. Justify how Nintendo is "kiddy", and be honest. Is it the lack of M rated titles? Is it the presence of Pok
