Re: PS3 Preordering

and this PS3 thing, at first blush, looks like a major price point / consumer targeting blunder (the premium console, wtf).

I think this is right. I'm a video game fan with more disposable income than Joe 6 Pack (although I'm far from rich), yet I really cringe at the PS3 price tag. I'm a value guy, and the Wii at $250 or whatever seems like it will be a superior value.
WRT to the Sony corporate strategy - they've made a lot of blunders, but they obviously believe that that being a supplier of commoditized good is not where they want to be. Leave that to any number of Chinese sweatshops. They only need to be right some percent of the time for this to be correct..I think the problem has been their products, not their strategy, although that's probably a topic for a 400 page book.
