First it was $600, then we get one for $500, now it seems a 40gig PS3 model is coming for a retail price of $399. The question is, do we care? Lagging behind in sales since its launch, the PS3 has been fighting the 360's comparable power and price while also in the midst of the Wii-volution that seems to be overtaking both systems. So now gamers can choose from 3 models of PS3, but who cares? You can release 8 models and drop the price further, but with no desirable software, the console is going to struggle. Next year's release of Metal Gear Solid 4 is a bright spot in the PS3's future with Killzone 2 and Final Fantasy XIII also scheduled for release. But is PS3 going the way of Nintendo, with marquee titles once or twice a quarter and the rest ports of games already released on other consoles? This gamer has a 360 and a Wii and will be picking up a PS3 when MGS hits, but do most gamers really want or need to invest in all 3 consoles?
