This is the advantage of 'first to market'... which ended up being even longer than expected with sony pushing it's release even further back. Sony will sell out it's initial production... but in the long haul it's going to be a tough thing for buyers when you can get a console with great games and a tested online service for 1/2 the price. Especially for parents buying these for their kids. And especially when Bluray starts to go the way of Betamax.
I purchased an serious gaming PC about a year ago. Then I bought my XBOX 360 this winter and I haven't touched the PC for gaming since. Which prompted me 3 weeks ago when the Macbook hit the market to buy one and sell my overpowered PC. I love my PC, but after realizing that I'm not going to game on my PC anymore... and I can run XP on the Macbook to deal with all the PC related things I would need it for it was a no brainer. I have a superfast Mac laptop running OS X for all my usual things I like to do online (browse, blog, read news, etc.), that runs XP for some work related apps that i need, and the best of online gaming on the 360. Enough said.
Rumor: new, cheaper Xbox 360 this holiday
