Thats a very interesting approach. The PS3 costs so much, and has so little game, its pretty amazing how many consoles sold already. Guess the popularity of PS2 just can't be beat, if it wasn't for that, Sony would have probably failed already.

£800? Please don't tell me where you shop as you can get them for less than half that.

And the PS3 isn't as good a player as stand alone ones in the same way the PS2 wasn't as good a DVD player. Still worth it if you were buying one anyway.

Well as of just recently I've read that PS3 has reached the 6 million mark, its actually suprising and some what doubtfull...anyway Sony says that they plan to sell 14 million consoles by the end of their fiscal year...which I believe is march...again, doubtfull, but anything can happen I guess...
