If Sony wants to keep Ps3's price high, it won't be an easy job for them, because they should first ask themselves:can we deliver a better quality content?
If they can't...they're toasted flys!
Exclusion of hd sucks but i'd give 'em some credit for 10 year suggested life cycle.How much will other two last is anyones guess,as 4-yr X360 wouldn't be so good.
I'm less worried about old Ninty mate though as 8th wonder of the world prototype is in their hands.

Did Sony start the PSP battery life sacre? Thought that was Nintendo...?
Anyway, I think i'll be getting a 360. I love playing on live :) most of my mates have now moved away so I get to play computer games with them even tho they live 100's of miles away :)
Then it will be either the PS3 or Revolution, depending on when they launch and for how much. But I will only buy one of them, don't have the time to be playing on 3 consoles and a PC.
But I will not be buying a PS3 if its £300+. If it comes in at £400, you have to buy a game £50(?), MemoryCard/HDD, extra controler, AV cables, etc. Your probably looking at £550, I ain't spending that much on one.

All I can say, it better be a computer for that price.
Come on, Word processor, personal data and office apps, can all fit in 1 MB, add Java and it is still nearly free cost for a basic computer for everybody in the family. Even allow any Hard drive to be included. Give MS the shocks. They were trying to kill Java for years because they didn't want this to happen. Java now has a lot of Open API's available, so it is a good base solution.
For the rest of us, a full computer is is to allow any hard drive to be plugged in and Linux, and your off.
"Mum.. I want a computer in every room." Mum Answers, "Sorry Jimmy, we can't afford one of those fancy dual cores in every room,.. tell you what, we can afford one top of the line computer, or a Playstation 3 in every room." Jimmy, stands there in stunned silence, with his index finger to his mouth, realising his blind allegiance to Microsoft for years has not paid off, and facing the alternative of half powered PC to 6 full powered Playstation 3 joined in a parallel computer network that he can use to frag his friends that "only" could afford 2 high end dual core PC's hooked in parallel for there First person shooter tournaments. Deciding to answer quickly, before his mother offers him Half an Intel Apple instead (not realising after Intel buys Apple that Steve Jobs will land up it's CEO, like before ;) and finally licence the CELL, because somehow that is the way he does things ). Jimmy answers, "Ohh forget the ..... Microsoft PC, we getting Playstation 3, clicking his heals with joy as he dances down the hallway. ;)
Seriously, ATI is saying that they can get double out of your typical game with the combined shader architecture than existing chips (presumably Nvidia's chip for the PS3) that puts them in line with PS3 on a good day, for $299. The upcoming MS architectures give the combined 3D unit more general purpose CPU capabilities, which mean that power becomes useful for much more data processing than 3D. I don't know if the 360 has this level of ability. So, also considering that games will take time to catch up with 360 or PS3, the PS3 better offer something more than MS.

PS3 is going to be expensive, XBOX 360 will be less expensive and Nintendo Revolution is going to be a fair and affordable price. I am a Nintendo fan so obviously i am interested in
You notice the anemic specs on the small machine (apart from the repeat of the "DVD" is not important thing, with HD, and HDDVD etc now). The low powered 1.8GHZ, Power-PC core 8 months after the xbox is supposed to be using around 3Ghz. The less than xbox ATI graphic chip. You will notice the next Gameboy is based on the Gamecube. I think it is probably that the Revolution, also game cube compatible, is designed to be portable within a few years.
Simple fact is, if you bought the Revolution you would be able to make it portable within a week yourself. I will outline:
Third party low powered OEL/FED/SED/LCD (sharp 3D one nice) display panel (with speakers). Chop up revolution Controller, and try to mount either side. High capacity Fuel Cell for those 1.8ghz processors (many times smaller than normal battery).

These 'scare tactics' are like the ones used to suggest that the psps battery life would be 2 hours, then we find out it's 6 and it doesnt seem so bad.
Whatever the starting price, the 360 will force them to drop the price faster though. PS2's price was high for years. It wont be so with the playstation3.
