Going into 2007 Holiday season, Microsoft and Nintendo will both be
under the $300 price point. The best selling Premium model 360 will
go
for $350 it looks like with a budget title pack-in game. Customers
looking to pick up a new console in the 2007 Holiday season will
have
these options will pack-in games

Nintendo Wii - $249
XBox 360 - $349
PS3 - $599

Also, I think with the Holiday game line ups, Sony is going to miss
GTA IV more than the 360 will. These just a lot of compelling games
coming this holiday season for XBox 360 and although GTA IV is going
to be cross platform the PS3 needs it more than the 360 does a this
point.

You are so stupid sometimes. What on God's green Earth would give you
the idea that there won't be any 60GB PS3's for the holliday season?
You didn't hesitate to point to the cheaper premium rather than the
Elite and yet you picked the price of the 80GB rather than the cheaper
60GB.

On top of that, there are more than rumblings that there will be a
cheaper PS3 this holliday season. I don't know what that entails
exactly but Sony is not going to have 1 SKU while the 360 has 3.

Do you believe the 60GB PS3's won't sell out by holiday season? I
would fully expect they have to.

They would have to sell darn near close to 400,000 units a month. If
they
do that, I don't think they would even care about ANYTHING any more.

Ouch. The backlog is THAT bad?

I am just going by PS3's sold to retail and comparing it to PS3's sold to
consumers. Once they got production going, they were cranking those puppies
out. BTW, they are still selling 20GB PS3's for $449 so that should tell
you how long it takes to get rid of something.
