I wonder if Sony is aware of the expectations on them for this show. Between the quality of their reveal, all the subsequent good news about PS4, and Microsoft's atrocious handling of the XBO so far all eyes are on them to blow us away.
The number was just including console, games, accessories, etc. Just ballparking it. I want the console cheap too.True enough. I waited almost an entire year to buy my 3DS. In retrospect, it ended up being a really good idea, since all the major games started coming out right around the same time I picked it up. If I had bought it at launch, I probably would've gotten frustrated during the summer drought and traded it in.
Here's hoping the PS4 starts at closer to $350 or $400 than $500 though. A $350 launch price might override my pessimism and get a purchase at day one even if they don't have a major launch RPG.
