Maybe now with this statement by Hirai people will stop acting like the PS3 price is the only thing holding it back. You can't expect to sell a major new console without having any of your key franchises on it. I wonder whether it's a sign of development problems, or just plain hubris on Sony's part, that they didn't have something to release in its first year (FF, GTA, SOCOM, GT, MGS, a non PSP-port Tekken...). They should have had developers working on these new titles before the PS3 launched and now they're far behind.
It'll be interesting to see if their big titles will come out in time to save the PS3 from being a distant third place.
I think this is probably the worst time to buy dollars. The US is slumping into a recession soon, they have deficits across the board (fiscal, trade, personal savings) and a democratic government won't change anything. Especially if the Fed continues to lower rates in a futile attempt to avoid the asset bubble popping, there will be less interest in the dollar. Parity won't happen :)
