Just like there will be people that buy XBOX 360 without even considering a PS3 just because to them it's XBOX or nothing they are as many( probally more ) Playstation owners that feel the same way about PS3.
As I said if it's a difference of $100 I'll most likely go with a PS3. Now if there is not a significant difference between a XBOX 360 and PS3 graphicswise and the HD is not necessary to play games or save them( assuming there will some sort of memory card option for XBOX 360 ) and XBOX 360 has nearly as many games available as PS3, well then for $299 I'll probally get that.

Easy: Sega had no ingrained software franchises, hence the Dreamcast, though early, had no impact.
The smart gamers will get both systems, and along with every Wall Street analyst who covers this sector, I agree that Sony has a tough uphill fight coming to the party six months late with hardware priced $100 over the competition.
Still, both will flourish and do well, because again, they have software franchises worth playing.
