I dont think Sony will go broke but, I do think they are going to come in last in this gen console wars. This depends on a lot of things though. Will the Will live up to its expectations, can MS get some actual next gen games?, if Sony and N have a free successful free online service can MS stay in the game?, are people willing to spend $600 on a console and then some 10 - 20 more on a game. These are all questions that will make a difference.

In my opinion, I think the PS3 will not do as well in the US as it will in Japan. Especially since Sony reduced the price in Japan to 450. Some Japan retailers marked down the price of the 360 there so, maybe retailers here will do that to the ps3 to get them to sell. Only time will tell.

I think GoW will take some of the focus off of the ps3 release, in the US anyway. A lot of people have been waiting for this game and those who were thinking about it, $600 or $60 is a pretty easy answer to me! Sure there are going to be some pple that can afford to get the ps3 right at release but, since there is only a limited number of them, I can assure you that they will be on ebay for 3 times retail just like the 360 was.

MS has a good jump on the competion. Although it seems the best games are coming out now for it. Which is kinda smart but, if they would have had a game like GoW 6 months ahead of release, they would be wayyyyy ahead.

N is counting on the affordable price and the controler deal to beat the rest and it just might work. God knows I want one now.And the will will ship with a game. That cant hurt anything either. Lets all hope it lives up to the hype or they will be joining Sega after this

I dont know what the hell sonys strategy is. I cant even speculate on them. They have said that it is not a gaming machine and loads of other crap that seems to deter ppl from the system. As far as I can tell, sony is counting on the Asian market, heavily.

Well, thats all I have for now
