Though I am still not buying either day one, happy with my PS3. Does what I need & when I want.

I still think it was overly premature to react to initial pre-sale figures. They JUST started the pre-sale, what did they expect? The Internet army was hammering away at them for their decision, so the mainstream consumer was exposed to a lot more anti-XBox than any other article regarding the next gen consoles.

I agree Microsoft had to do something, but I think they pulled the plug way too fast. I actually thought the digital sharing service was a brilliant idea, just the understanding wasn't there, and gamers being HIGHLY CONSERVATIVE (seriously, what the **** guys, it's 2013 already get with it), they recoiled at any price hike they see.

Which, again, is hilarious because we aren't batting an eye at the $400 price tag for the PS4.

I'd say the price isn't a big deal, until people and parents are at the stage of actually buying it, or in front of the shelves. Price of a console isn't otherwise very high in people's minds. That's just my observation anyway.
