$400 and it will cost them $494 to make each console. :S

I've decided that I wont be getting the Xbox 360 on launch anymore. If I do get one on launch I wont be able to afford many games for it and my PSP.

I think i'll get the 360 during January sales or sometime near there.

That sounds like the likely price.

It does, Sony might end up giving it and making a larger loss to compete with Microsoft. They've pretty much done the same with the PSP because of the DS competition.

Nintendo releasing that has seriously damaged Sony's plans and it looks unlikely that the PSP can make a viable profit at its low price and new competition in the market.

It's not that difficult to understand?

In simple terms the PS3 will have a 3.2 GHz processor, therefore it requires double that capacity in order to run an Xbox 360 Emulator at realish speed.

If you were going to emulate a 360, you'd need a processor of at least 6Ghz, and there's no such thing at the moment.

You always need loads more power than the original machine to run an emulator of it.

Nope. I was joking.

The PS3 is powerful, but it's not that powerful!

He's right.

You won't be able to play PC games on the 360.
