Im sure MS will do really well, there hasnt been a new console in almost 4 years now. People are always in a hurry to shill out their hard earned bucks if its the latest and greatest. But.... since i no longer support Nintendo and just wanna see what Sony is gonna do, like some others im gonna enjoy the ps2 for the remainder of its reign till ps3...

There are those certain people who most have powerful consoles right away and I'm thinking those are the ones who are mostly interested in Xbox 360. Also, most Xbox fans who mostly support Xbox, will probably want a Xbox 360 because most all of the new good games are going to Xbox 360 compared to current Xbox. So, I'm possibly thinking that could be part of the demand to get an Xbox 360.

As for the price of games, I remember when I paid $75 for a few horrid N64 games that defintely weren't worth it. I use to pay $60 for SNES and NES games years ago. I hope that we won't see game prices jump to $60, but if they do, I'll be buying less games.

Many retailers who are advance-selling (taking pre-orders) on PS3 and XBOX360 software are displaying $60 price tags. I had originally thought that the more expensive price would be for major releases (new GTA, new Final Fantasy, new Madden, new Tony Hawk, etc.)... but I did not expect the tag to apply to ALL games.

Although retailers have been known to be wrong when posting advance pricing, this falls in line with what publishers like Activision, SEGA, and EA have gone on record as saying: Games are going to be more expensive in the next generation.

It's time to get used to the new policy (for the time being, at least) and plan accordingly.

If I remember correctly weren't some ps2 games at launch $60? $10 dollars extra a game is not a big deal to me, you have to look at the economy im surprised ps2 games haven't went up in price, hell look at gas prices....... oil sucks!
