		<description>I&#039;d like to see these stats updated at the end of Q1 &#039;08 and again at the end of the year.  Sony is has now dropped the price on the PS3 to $499 for the 80g version and $399 for a 40g version that lacks PS2 backward compatibility but comes with a BluRay DVD instead of a game.  WiFi is now standard.  They have the salespeople at Best Buy &amp; everywhere else now pushing the PS3 as a BluRay player (for the same price as the others) with a free top-notching game console built in.  It&#039;s doing what Microsoft tried (but failed) to do in becoming a true all-in-one home entertainment system (DVD, games, web browser, Linux PC).  I don&#039;t see XBox surviving the death of HDDVD.  It was scrambling to add each of PS3&#039;s built-in features with external component after external component before it backed that horse.  I think it&#039;s done until the next generation.

I don&#039;t expect PS3 to catch up with the Wii soon, but what will happen after Christmas &#039;08 when literally everyone will have a new flat screen and start to discover HDMI 1.3&#039;s &quot;deep color&quot;, which only the PS3 can deliver?  Will Wii&#039;s low-price, fun-for-the-whole-family philosophy maintain its market dominance as the PS3 leaves it farther in the dust graphically and functionally?   Will it be the Wal-Mart of consoles (cheap, but always the market leader)?  Or will it catch up in features, power and quality, but price itself out of the lead?  A gen-2 Wii with the features, power and video quality of a PS3 at a $600 price point could survive and continue to dominate the market if it has backward compatibility.  I think that&#039;s the main thing that hurt the PS3-- PS2 compatibility took a while to work out and now costs a little more than the non-compatible system.</description>
