Sony and Microsoft recommend Wii.

PS3 -God of War 2 Sorry dude, God of War is PS2, not PS3, so there is no need to spend $600 on a system to play it.

You forgot to mention that the 360 will also have exclusive content for Grand Theft Auto 4 that will be downloadable via Xbox Live . Kudos! I did not know that... looks like my days as a PS fan-boy are over. I can buy a Wii and an Xbox and it will still be cheaper than a PS3. What is Sony thinking? I remember they used to be about quality matching the price.

Well, actually Sony is saying that with what they have under the Foreman Grill hood and what other stuff it can do other than gaming then $600 is a fair price.

Hmmm... 600 dollars to spend on one ps3 or buy a Wii and an X Box and a couple of games with the same 600? What makes the situation worse is that they are few in number, a couple of thousand for this year.... very few will ever get one this year. PS3 is going to face a shortage this year and next. PS3 is powerful, but Sony made so few of them!!! You might have a chance to get one by next christmas if they are in stores. I KNOW there will be PS3's sold on E-Bay for over 1,000 because of the shortage. In short, too much in price, too little product... and 2 alternatives on the market... Doesn't take much to figure out what will happen. But then I hope I'm wrong.

People don't even realize that Sony hasn't even announced the price on their Wii-lite controller. Not to mention how much third-party titles will be. 600 is a misleading price for a PS3. Add in accessories and a couple of release games and I can see a person spending close to 1000 before taxes.

One more advantage PS3 and Wii has is proper backwards compatability, you don't have to download off the net to do it for PS1/PS2 games on PS3 and the same for Gamecube games on the Wii.

The thing is this...no matter how high the price the PS3 will finally end up as with accessories and games, no one will be able to convince a Sony fanboy that it's a bad deal all around. Same goes for those who are fanboy of the MS and Nintendo systems.
