How much is the PS3 atm in the US? because the rrp is stillThe drive on the PS3 isn't all of the problem. Other components in it are expensive compared to the 360 as well. It would certainly help the price, but a $200 PS3 seems out of reach.

How much is the PS3 atm in the US? because the rrp is still
Interesting. Over here blurays cost almost double the price of DVDs and most consumers don't see enough of a difference to justify that. I don't think it's sales of the players that's necessary a problem either. People are tempted by them as they comes with a few films, it's only afterwards that they realise that the films are so much more expensive than DVD.Blu-Ray is far from doomed currently. The format has finally started taking off, with sales going upwards. PS3 sales as Blu-Ray players have went down though, since there are cheap standalone players now.
Article if you want one.
Finally with the exchange rate dropping we're not paying so much more than you. We only have the 80GB here as far as I know and thats the one with the RRP of $450.There's mainly two SKU's here now:
1 - $400 - 80 GB unit
2 - $500 - 160 GB - Uncharted - Free Download of Pain
That doesn't make any logical sense
The PS3 is losing all because of piracry (or the lack of thereof).
It cost them most of their console sales in most parts of Asia.
You're really reaching there. I'm sure some haven't bought it yet because of that but I doubt that many are waiting for it to be hacked first.

Wii Play really...DO people still need that extra remote..Besides that game been out for a year...It's insane to see a game that high that been out for a year..
Also I find wired that the Ds is selling this much, Dont people know that DSi is coming out? The Ds might out sell the ps2 and the gba...
I seriously don't understand how the DS still consistently outsells everything... The damn thing has been out since 2004, who doesn't have one yet?
A large amount of people have to be buying more than one, which is just insane.
