Well, there's going to be the sony loyal fanbase, which isn't much right now but still. Then you'll have people buying just because it's expensive; The same people who had to have plasma TV, razor phone, etc because it was a status quo. After that you have kids begging for one at christmas time who will want to immitate the status quo.
but multi console owners, gameplayers, etc wont be picking one up until the price drops. And even then, other than MGS4 there has to be some more killer apps. Games that make sony haters want a PS3. as of right now, nothing of that type exists in the pipeline other than MGS4. I seriously expect the PS3 to launch and carry itself very similar to the PSP. In other words, surviving but not by much.
