“The Sixaxis PS3 controller will retail for $49.99″
Atleast the PS3 has a controller price advantage over the Wii. Sony is getting me more exctited about the PS3. Their exclusive games to me are better than 360 and atleast with their Sixaxis controller they’re doing something different from a 360(but they stilled copied from Nintendo). I think if people can get over the price barrier then the PS3 will be a smash hit. The battle between 360 and PS3 will be very interesting.
