Message: <blockquote data-quote="Worf" data-source="post: 58324" data-attributes="member: 1047">A LOT of PS3s were sold in the early days at $500 and $600 for one simple reason - real Blu-Ray players were $1000! Basically the PS3 was positioned around the price point of an HD-DVD player (around $500 and under), while Blu-Ray was considered a joke because at $1000, the players were just too expensive.So there was a lot of pricing on both ends - with the Wii at $250, the Xbox at $400, HD-DVD at $500, Blu-Ray at $1000, Sony didn't have a ton of room for pricing. They could've put the PS3 at $400, and anger all the Blu-Ray licensees who couldn't subsidize their hardware (an important point as Blu-Ray was in catch up mode), they could've made it $800 to give it that aura of special, but then be laughed at.Of course, my first bet would be the next Xbox would be very similar to the PS3 - same chips and everything. As the PC architecture is basically the same across the board, the first homebrew running on either system would be to play the other's games. PS4 games on your Xbox, Xbox games on your PS4.</blockquote>
