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.

While the Dreamcast was a great machine, Sega knew that that had an inferior product. They knew they couldn't compete.
That's not the same here. At this point we have a working XBox360, I don't think we've seen anything from Sony aside from specs and case mockups. Point by point break down sqaure the two up nicely. In this case, Microsoft has an advantage.
Check see how much Shit-slinging Sony has been doing. They will lose marketshare for sure. My mom refused to buy the actual consoles growing up. My father has an XBox360 on reserve. Their marketing is already working.
