Speaking at an investor conference hosted by Morgan Stanley in the US, Probst said,

"We expect that there will be a more level playing field this time around than last time. I think the issue is that (the PS3 is) expensive." He also added the high price should not be a surprise to anyone as Sony said it would cost $600 at last year's E3.

All eyes are on March 23 as PS3 rolls out in Europe. "No one should count Sony out at this point in the game. This is going to be a long race," Probst added

I agree, the PS3 probably won't be as big as the PS2 was, but it will still come out in the top, in this Next Gen race/war. But I think there still might be a chance for the same thing to happen to the PS3 as it did to the PS2.

If you remember, the PS2 was something around five hundred dollars when it first came out, and now in it's dying years, the systems cost tallies up to something like a hundred and twenty five dollars.

So I think that Sony in the end of the PS3's run, (probably when PS4 comes out) the price will be knocked down to something like two hundred, and that will be the main selling years.
