"It WILL have a bigger gamer base" Not at $600 right now it won't. One of the main reasons that the PS2 was successful, was that it targeted slightly to the casual gamer. This is targeting more to the hardcore gamers right now. The PS3 will start out with a small gamer base right now at the current $600 marker. However there is a good chance that it will go down in price in the future. Plus I have done some small surveys, and only 32.54% of people that i have surveyed said they wanted the system, but only 10.72% said they THINK it's possible for them to get it. (Btw the number of people was around 5000 people total, from different locations)
