I think this system's success is almost a slam dunk. It may be expensive as hell, but it has both new technology and a lot of backwards compatibility to support it through the initial lean times (which happens for every system.) I suspect part of the reason the DS survived it's lean initial period was the fact that it had a library of GameBoy Advance Games to support it, just as GameBoy Advance before it had GameBoy and GameBoy color titles, and so on. The PSP didn't have a library of titles to fall back on. It's still struggling in some respects. So the PS3 will hav eall the old titles from about 10 years of gaming to help it along.. Just like the Wii will have GameCube and almost all other Nintendo platforms to support it initially. Microsoft didn't make the 360 backwards compatible enough for it's audience. Not a good foot to start out on. I predict Microsoft will take ultimately take 3rd place to Nintendo over that. And Sony will come out on top, having the best of both worlds, even with the extreme price.
How ya doing, buddy?
