'You may want to check our past records of price points when launching past hardware... I think you'll agree that we always come up with an affordable price point.'"

    In the case of the PS3, most people will buy it because it will have the widest selection of games out of the new consoles.

    Why does every Sony nerd and his developmentally disabled cousin say this as if it's a foregone conclusion? The thing is going to cost US$500 minimum . Whether or not it's going to have a dominating marketshare (the determining factor for whether it has "the widest selection of games") is very much in question.
