More ps3 speculation

It will not cost $500 at launch thats rediculous

Sony owns more then double the marketshare of MS, and pumps out more then 3x\'s as many games.

The fact is because of Sony\'s dominant marketshare they can afford to take a bigger loss on the hardware. They\'ll make it up in the usual ways liscensing, games, periphials and downloadable content.

Sony might take a larger loss, but there larger profit margins will easily make it up. Sony can also bank on their machine being the most powerful, so add that to the already dominant palystation name and Sony is really in a winwin situation and has no reason to try and squeeze more money out of early PS3 adopters IMO.

In an unfortunate turn of events for the legions of Australian video game fans, Sony\'s president of the Computer Entertainment Worldwide Studios division Phil Harrison announced today that the upcoming PlayStation 3 controller will be unable to pull double duty as a precision kangaroo killer. Apparently the boomerang/banana shape that we\'ve come to hate despise detest accept as the PS3\'s major drawback is being "tossed" in favor of an unspecified redesign (NOT the one pictured here) that will be unveiled at E3 in May, mentioned Harrison in a speech that was mainly about the Xbox Live-like PlayStation Network Platform. There\'s a lot of pressure on Sony here to unveil something appealing for several reasons: they need to placate the vocal minority of ravenous fanboys who publicly slammed the initial design, but more importantly, they need to prove they can outdesign a bunch of very talented gaming blog readers.<<<<<

Damn skippy.
