Most of us did see this coming? I seriously doubt that. I've felt Sony's arrogance needed to be put into check for years now, but I never saw them becoming the Nintendo of this generation. No one can really say they saw it coming, because no one could foresee all the horrible mistakes they would make.

I've never support Sony. Never. And even I can say it was unexpected.

Oh, I don't know I always had the gut feeling. I felt Sony was living off third party support and since 360 and Wii were starting to eat into that they were in for some rough times.

I didn't see it coming this bad no, but I had a feeling they would get smacked around. And I have a even bigger feeling it will only get worse from here for them.

Oh, I've always said Sony relies on nothing but 3rd party support to get by, but you have to look at it from the perspective of a casual gamer. They just see Playstation and that's it. That all changed come the announcement of prices and things of that sort, though.

Your right, I never did view it in the casual sense. I'm used to seeing the funny troll posts on the PS3 board.

It's pretty entertaining over there, Logic would fit in. His posts are about on par with what I normally see over there.

Well assuming I'd make more if I lived there, one of my pay checks is usually around 300-360 depending on hours*They cut back on us part timers sometimes* so a PS3 for me would be 2 pay checks counting a game purchase.

I'm just a kid working part time. People older then me usually have full time jobs and make more then 9.55 an hour. So I don't think 600 is totally out of question*Or 700 in Canada* just really impractical when stacked up against the price of the other systems*Wii espcially* and the games out for it currently suck or can be found on other systems. And for the price of two PS3's you could net yourself a nice HDTV*Which I would guess most people would want to play games on now of days*
