kotaku.com— Sony is ripe with development and marketing problems surrounding the PS3. Not the least of which is that "Within Sony, the different divisions have discordant views on what the PlayStation 3 actually is."

Well.. from what I can tell. They are in bed with the people at Best-buy. Blu-Ray is everywhere while they hide the HD-DVD's in the main dvd selection. I wish they would put them side by side.
@ng: That's FUD and you know it. Saying people won't buy PS3s because of the PS2 pricepoint is like saying people won't upgrade their computer because they already have one or there's a cheaper, albiet much inferior one available. People buy new, shiny things -- that part is undeniable about a consumerist culture.
The PS2 was much much harder to program for the last time around also, that didn't seem to matter.So far devs have said that the PS3, while harder than the 360 or Wii, is easier to develop for than the PS2 was. The SE team behind FFXIII started developing for the PS2 but after building the FFVII demo on the PS3 hardware they decided to change platforms because of how nice the hardware was to work with(relatively).

@davemodeYou took the words right out of my mouth. The Dreamcast was my last console but I'm seeing a Wii in my future...
