or they could but price to 900$ and see how many peoples buys nextgen console
Actually, given the release date for the consoles, they won't be ahead of computers. The release date for everything except for the successor to the Xbox is currently 2006. Multicore processors will be available from all chip manufacturers by the end of the year, with the exception of Intel, who actually is releasing a multiprocessor chip due to cutting some corners, but that's not the subject at hand. Also, the next generation of video cards, which will be more powerful variants of what's ending up in these consoles, will come out at roughly the same time. Current indications suggest the desktop parts will have twice as much memory at the very least. Also, by getting a console in place of getting a computer, you decrease the number of uses you can get out of the hardware.
Even if it was beyond all current hardware, I'd still consider $400 to be too expensive. $250, maybe even $300, but definitely not $400.
