Sony's Playstation 3 is going to cost money. A lot of money. Sony's response?

[Sony's goal is] "for consumers to think to themselves 'I will work more hours to buy one'. We want people to feel that they want it, irrespective of anything else."

Boggle. Why am I reminded of the French restaurant L'Idiot in the film L.A. Story (with Patrick Stewart enacting the New Cruelty Regime)? "You can't have the PS3. Not with two controllers, not with your financials!"

Funny pun, but Nintendo has been behind on market share for quite some time, so they are working damn hard to bring out an innovative console unlike any that has come before, in order to win back gamers from Sony and also to win over people who have previously not played console games.

Sony on the other hand are just releasing yet another Playstation with high-end specs (and the pricetag to go with). Even the name of their console is the epitome of stagnation.

I agree. If I was in the market for a console I would probably go Wii myself. If I was in the market for anything gamewise it would more likely be a handheld. Nintendos games just look like more fun, especially if you're not into the frag everything in sight thing.
