    The thing is by the time the PS3 comes out, the graphics level that it offers will be about on par with mid-range PC solutions. A graphics card costing ~$200-$250 in December ought to get you PS3 level 3D horsepower.

    My point? Just one more reason why I'll never buy the PS3.

    The PS3 may be like the luxery meal at an expensive resturant, but the thing is, the majority goes for fast-food and the inexpensive resturant.

    I fall into the latter category.
    See System Specs.

    This is the big battle over in Japan.

    Here in Europe Nintendo seems a lot smaller than it really is, over here the battle tends to be Playstation and XBOX.

    Over in Japan, XBOX is a no go. They just don't need to support foreign equipment when their home grown consoles have plenty to offer.
    Nintendo has always been huge over there, and Wii has a huge chance to really put PS3 on the back foot.

    I can't believe that 11% actrually believe the PS3 is reasonably priced. It seems as though it was designed for excess. Cell, blu-ray, etc.

    I can't believe you can't read the article. 1% think that it is underpriced.
