of course, you omit the one glaring difference. the n64 was limited in its stubborn decision to cling to old technology (cartridge) while the ps3 is ushering in the probably winner of the nextgen disc format (bluray)
You know, I love how people on here react to objective arguements.
I hate to tell you all this, but the OP has a valid point.
You might hate the PS3 with all your little jaded consumer-shaded hearts, but the PS3 provides some of the most advanced processing and advances in hardware performance this generation.
It has many other problems that do not make it worth a purchase, and make its production unethical and anti-consumer, but it must really hurt to admit that the product you hate completely outperforms products that some of you love.
The assurance that Blu-Ray will win the format war.
Or sweet, sweet luvin'.

It will. But I think Sony should have made an affordable PS3, then used the money they make to help fuel victory for the Blu-Ray format war on it's own grounds. They would have won both wars.
interesting! i think they may be doing it in the opposite order: packaging bluray in the ps3 to get a jump on the competition (which, admittedly, has worked well thus far in terms of bluray sales) and then turning around and cutting prices on the ps3 in order to catch up in gaming (which, should probably come soon as I don't think they factored in Nintendo and Microsoft getting off to such torrid starts)
Nah, I don't think the Elite is overpriced. And I think claims of them screwing-over early adoptors are stupid. People ask for HDMI and a larger HDD, but then complain when they get it?kodex1717
i don't think the early adopters were asking for any hardware changes
