While I think I get the gist of what you're saying (regarding room for only 2 systems) your logic is flawed. After Nintendo rebuilt the home gaming market with the NES/Famicon, the market has grown steadily. Chances are that Gamecube, despite bieng 3rd in sales numbers was still quite profitable. (a small piece of an incresingly larger pie) --Especially as it was designed to be a lower cost system. Wii will probably also be profitabe even as a 3rd place system (although I think it'll be 2nd in worldwide sales) The problem with PS3 is that it is SO expensive, it must be #1 or Sony is in real trouble recouping their investment.---I'm really not sure if they're willing to sell consoles at a loss for 1.5-3 years to ensure this. They can easily pass the 360's sales in Japan (Japanese are predudiced against American & European conpanies) But Sony has its work cut out for it in the rest of the world. I do consider myself a "hardcore" gamer---spend 2-3K per year on PC + Home game stuff and even I won't buy a PS3 for $600.00 ---Does Sony really think that the average gamer/family will shell out that kind of money?
