Actually my guess would be that the Xbox costs MORE than the PS3. Microsoft makes a wonderful system, no doubt, but they don't do anywhere near the numbers Sony does. Sony said they sold almost 200 million PS2s. Those kinds of numbers REALLY drive prices down.

But anyway, I totally agree with Damian on this, the games are what are important. I guess the sad thing is, if you're a gamer, you pretty much need to buy at least two of the systems.

The other interesting thing to see come out of all this is going to be the price point of next gen software. It's not like one system can undersell the other. My guess is to add another $10-20 on top of what we're paying now for the top tear games.
