The ps3 was meant to market for enthusiasts but that crowd is mostly people that can't afford the system overall (college kids, etc) so this is what we see. Sony trying to reach into the kid market
All in all- the PS3 will make a jump in sales in the next two years. That I have no doubt, as everyone migrates to HD.
But currently, the PS3 is the system with the most features. Why buy a blu-ray player for upwards of $200 when they can get a great system that does it all for $600? The only reason my fam owns a ps3 is because blu ray beat out HD-DVD.
LBP will have high ps3 sales depending heavily on release date. Just another excuse for the family to get the system.
