Another reason was the investment in the Cell processor, which Sony co-developed with IBM and Toshiba. They want to recoup some of that cost, too. Speaking as a loyal PS3 owner, I haven't had any reason to turn my system on since I finish SW: TFU - which was also available for the other systems. I watch movies and tv on it occasionally. But I'm really waiting for the new GoW, or something along those lines, to get me motivated to game again. The new Killzone looks pretty great too, looking forward to that. They'll need more exclusives to get people buying again, but more importantly, they'll need the accompanying hype associated with those games. Bluray was part of the reason it was so expensive.

No lie price point is what keeps me from the PS3 while the RRoD keeps me from the 360, well that and I have a Windows PC so they get their fair share of money out of me. Then again I'm pretty ignorant in the hardware details of PS3 and 360.
