Still I know plenty of people who are all for this system no matter what the asking price and I have no doubt that their projected production units will probably not be enough.

I mean, people bought their 360's over here for the full price! People will buy it if they're desperate enough.
Uh oh, it seemed Sony got lazy with trying to differentiate itself from Microsoft. It'll all come down to this by the time PS3 comes out:
-Xbox360: Great graphics, good library of games, great online
-PS3: Great graphics (already got that), good library of games (already got that), online (already got that... Hey didn't we pay for a console that is 1 million times better than the X360?)
Wii'll be on its own
-Wii: Unique controller, decent (enough for a purchase) graphics, user-friendly and accessible to non-gamers
In other words, if Sony is intent into keeping first place, it's being tripped over by a few of its bananas. Microsoft has the chance to go no.1, and Wii will happily be singing it's song on the path it's taken.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
