PS3 already considering price drop?

They basically priced the console as twice as good as xbox when no reasonable evaluation puts it that far ahead and xbox360 already had a year jump on their library. Then of course the Wii came from nowhere and has made it even worse. Another patented Sony f*ck up. They always seem to do this. Lead the charge on innovation and then get too big for their britches and start 'pioneering' proprietary products that get beat in the market because of price. You'd think they'd learn. They're gonna lose on Blue Ray too. Its the same song new tune.

Lots of good points!

1: Spot the hell on....my thoughts exactly. WTF were they thinking? I mean, I know that 60% of this country is overweight and all but, that doesnt make us dumber, does it?

2: Remember when PS2 came out? Almost the same situation as now. DVD's were pretty new-ish at the time and people scoffed at the PS2 but still bought it because there was NO competition. They thought even with the 360 on the market they could come out and repeat. WRONG! I wouldnt be surprised if this royally screws Sony to the point where they stray away from videogames.
