And I'm not trying to imply that you're not willing to. I'm just saying, you've made it clear that graphics are an important element in making a game more enjoyable. Where would you say the balance needs to be struck?

My preferences are my preferences. I planned on getting a PS3 eventually regardless of price point. Nut my comments aren't referring to what I like, they're about what sells. Many people just aren't willing to shell out so much money for a gaming system.
I think that Sony should have "Wal-Marted" their component manufacturers to reduce the cost. With the position Sony was in after last generation, they easily could have strong armed their vendors to produce product at a lower cost per unit on the promise of volume sales alone. I still think Blu-Ray was a mistake as well, even now that its won the future, its pretty doomed the present for PS3. There's just too much ground to make up.
There is no reason why Sony or MS should be still losing money on each console at this point in the game. The manufactieres have had plenty of time to reduce costs and streamline.
I think in the future console developers need to facilitate a synergy between advancement and efficiency/cost of production.
