...Panasonic?  SNK? Neither of those companies had any chance to get a foothold on the market, and pricing was pretty much the reason. :\ Sega's the only one of those three you could really make a case for, but it went downhill for them from the 32X on. |

| Umm, well Panasonic and SNK with those lovely systems caused a market flood that really hurt the videogame market that year. And I'm talking literally, when the market was still infantile, millions of lost dollars due to gamer disenfranchisement. For these consoles, it interrupted the market long enough to allow Sony to slowly raise the profile of the Playstation. Either way, the video game market was teetering on the edge because the MANY companies that were throwing systems on the market made something that was no sustainable and caused a minor implosion. In other news: Sony - the next-gen loser 100$ loss/system compared to MS' 76$ loss/ system...MS is looking to lose about 400 million on the X-Box360 in hardware sales. Sony is looking to lose a whopping ONE BILLION dollars on their new endevour. I think that this is one of those times where a big company got its britches a little too high up there. |

But they said that consoles almost always go through that phase, but usually more than make up for it in the following years. Sony could get slumped even more if the X-Box 360 gets cheaper on the PS3's launch. Here's hoping. [Toyo Keizai goes on to interview Sony Computer Entertainment president Ken Kutaragi, who avoided revealing the PS3's price but hinted that it would not be marked down excessively. "Whether consumers think a product is expensive or cheap all depends on the balance between its appeal and price," he said. "Our ideal [for the PS3] is for consumers to think to themselves, 'OK, I'll work more hours and buy it.' We want people to feel that they want it, no matter what."] Suuuure, buddy. People probably won't buy the thing because the extra hours they put in at work to pay for the PS3 won't give 'em any time to play the games anyway!  And whatever he says... I doubt there'll be enough appeal to make as many people who bought a PS1/PS2 to buy the PS3 at the price. $800 - $900AU... I've never paid over $200AU for any of my consoles.  I might buy the Revolution if it comes down to $400AU/$300US...Wait - I think that's it's launch cost!!! |

| It only gets worse! Looks like you'll be in the market of 700 dollars US for a PS3.  |

| 410 for the system. 180 for the hard drive. 600 dollars all together. Assuming Sony is still Sony they are going to release a "package" that you have to buy that adds 100 dollars "worth" of crap that you don't need to the deal. |

| Not everyone is going to buy the hard drive. Actually I think that only those who wanna play online games will. (edited by knuck on 07-01-05 09:40 PM) |

| Wellllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll I'm going to say you are wrong on that one. If Sony makes it an integral part of their gaming system, or has small memory cards...you know...game saves might be getting bigger... |

| Wouldn't they just be using memory sticks to store data? :\ If so, then you probably could store a lot of game data onto one of those... On the other hand, it'll only be a matter of time before games start getting ripped onto hard drives. |
