I know if I were a parent right now I'd tell my kid sorry, you can have the Wii or 360 but the PS3 is out.

Yeah good point. The parents who are buying these consoles as Christmas and birthday presents already can be frustrated by the high prices of these things; but at $600 they just give up.

Why pay that much when you can get the others for half the price?

I can't for the life of me imagine what Sony was thinking. It should be in the Harvard Business Review as a case study of what not to do, and be taught to America's business students.

Right next to Betamax.

Oh and they're heading down the same path with BlueRay. I don't get how a company that has made this mistake before and is in the middle of making it again has started back down the same path with yet another product. It is baffling to me.
