What are your predictions?

I voted yes...with only 2 million being shipped for a worldwide launch.

yes i am sure of it

Do you think it will goto the extreme of how much the x-box 360 was going for on ebay?

It should, the demand for the PS3 will be just as bad or worse of the number of systems the Xbox 360 sold on launch and it was dry the next day. No matter what the price is, people will buy it.

Famitsu had a Top 10 lists for E3 announcements. I personally think the Wii has been blown out of proportion by the attendees and message boards, and won't be quite as hot as the Nintendo elite make it out to be (they've still yet to acquire any major third party franchises and are just getting offshoots even in Square's lineup). But that list was all PS3. Seriously. I'm kind of sick of the Nintendo fans looting the PS3 boards with spam to the point where even though I grew up with Nintendo I'm offended, and even I think Nintendo got shafted on that list. They could probably do 2 million in Japan alone. They are crazy for it.

It sounds like the problems with supply are going to overshadow the pricing issue and the late dev kits. Top tier software is going to be sparse for a while for this thing, but thanks to the shortage it's no doubt going to face, it's going to be viewed as HOT regardless. And that sort of thing may very well help in the long run. By the time they're actually able to keep some systems on the shelves (which could take over half a year), they might even be able to do a price cut no prob.

Anyone who votes anything other than yes is insane. think about it, people will buy these like crazy if nothing else to sell! That alone will sell them out. It will be even crazier than the 360 launch, I guarantee it.

yes, sony fanbase is massive. If gamestop/eb give a date when you can preorder in sept/oct. ahead of time, there will probably be campers for preorders.

It will sell out.

I would laugh, though, if everyone bought they up to sell on Ebay and they eventually sold for lower than retail because Ebay was flooded with them. That would make my year.

Obviously it will. If for nothing else because of all the people looking to make some quick money selling them on ebay to retards who are willing to pay 3 and 4 times the systems value for it just so that they can be one of the firsts.
