As we all know at this moment, factories in Asia are pumping out alot of Playstation 3, ready for its launch on November 17th, 2006. Even with a year on the PS3, the Xbox360 should enjoy a huge lead for at least the next 2 years. Most people agree that it will take at least until 2009-2010 till the PS3 catches up (if it ever will) to the Xbox360 sales. Only in Japan will the Playstation 3 overtake the Xbox360 within 2007, since we all know that the Xbox360 sales in Japan are horrible. If Mircosoft drops the price $100.00 a week before the PS3 launches (rumor about this price drop is still going on), Sony might as well pack it in now for lose more money and drop the price of the PS3 by the same amount. If Mircosoft really wants to put a nail in the Playstation 3, that would be the best way of doing it.

Yeah and what about the PSP same story. At release every console or other hot device have been in shortage for some time.

If one doesn’t want to pay 1.000 euro’s/dollars/pounds whatever, one should have the brains to wait some months when they start to appear in shops again I would say…

So well, best ever attach rate, it could be a bit pushed with combined sales but not as far as that. As far as I’ve seen them in The Netherlands they were sold seperately mostly and very, very occasionally I’ve seen packages with a game/games.

It makes me laugh “the best ever attach rate to any game console.”
You couldn’t buy a console with buying other shit peripherals with it, unless you eBayd it, then you were paying like £1,000!
