Myself and several friends had all waited patiently for the PS3, ignoring the Wii and Xbox360. However when the PS3 finially did appear at £425 only one of us went out and got one, and believe me he didn't rush either, instead it took a few weeks before finally giving in.
Since then, the rest of us (all 30somthing years old) have bought Xbox360's and Wii's due to cost and the lack of a price drop on the PS3 (a couple of us felt sure a price drop won't come until nearer xmas and after this report it looks about right)
Now thats what just people I know have done, Sony have given away at least 6 sales and worse still, sent them to another console camp. I guess they are shifting enough boxes to not worry though, if they couldn't actually produce them any faster they have lost nothing assuming that is the case at least. Mind you, at a lower price people would no doubt be hanging on until they finially got one even if it meant a wait for production to catch up.
