my problem is your arguements don't add up a logical conclusion and they are very weak and contradict each other:
1. "non gamers will not be enticed by a $400 price tag (on a Wii)" -Thats why nintendo says it will be between $200-$250
2. microsoft said no price drop
3. you say ps3 won't fail because ps1 & ps2 launched at $299?
4. iPods really started gaining momentum when apple started target different price points. In the 4th quarter ...
very very funny
