Sony's marketshare has probably increased since the 360 launch, because the PS2 has outsold the 360+ original Xbox.The 360 might have a larger user base than the PS3, but it's still 70 million behind the PS2.Besides, I think whatever the price, the PS3 will sell as many units as Sony can make for the first year or so. Look at the 360 - the limiting factor hasn't been price for it, but availability.I think charging $600 a console is the only way Sony can stay in business. Because as someone else pointed out, Sony is not doing all that well (outside the game division) - they don't have billions in cash just lying around like MS does. They simply can't afford to lose a ton of money on each one, like MS can.</blockquote>
