Look at the chartz,since its pricecut 3 weeks ago,the Wii has been N1 selling console in the world and I am pretty sure this would contunie throught all of the summer ;).So 360 and PS3 need pricecuts right  now if they don't want Nitendo Wii to dominate the whole summer.

that norma;l logic my friend
ps3 299
x360 150-250
wii 150.

you do the math

Do they need to keep up with the Wii? I'm sure they don't care whether the Wii dominates as long as they're getting healthy sales. I'm not gonna debate whether or not that applies to both the HD consoles at the moment.
Also, I'm gonna wait for NPD or some other reliable source before I start celebrating Wii's awesome sales. They seem too good to be true, :O.

I Agree with the OP 110%

Do they have to keep up, they've been above wii for most of this year about time wii is on top for a while.

June 4th total year to date data:

Xbox 360: Up ~16.7% from 2010

Sure doesn't sound like this needs a price cut.

PS3: Down ~8.6% from 2010

This is defiantly down some, but it isn't in desperate need of a price cut. Current rumors suggest that a price cut may accompany the revised PS3 that may come out later this year.

Wii: Down ~37.9% from 2010

This is why the Wii needed a price cut so desperately. It's sales have been dismal to say the least so far this year.

**Percentages were obtained by taking this years number and dividing by past years number.

well, your reply doesnt make you seem better IMO...

OT: Yes, I dunno about price cuts, but I agree that the wii will remain on top this year...

Wii, PS3 and DS are down YoY;
XB360 will be down YoY soon,
PSP is dead since years
and 3DS is doomed, because NGP will be 1000 times more powerful
and NGP is doomed, cause WiiU is just a more gimmicker handheld
WiiU is doomed, cause PS4 and XB720 will destroy its specs
PS4/XB720 are doomed, because the price/graphic-enhancement is ridiculous.

-->all consoles and hanhelds are doomed
Apple will take the whole gaming-market in 10 years,
until it is doomed too, because here apple will be compared to oranges.

Don't forget it has Kinect and a Slim model this year over last, and PS3 has Move and loads of games and they're still fairly flat. Soon, they'll both be heavily down (heck, 360 was nearly 60% this week...soon it will be down too...)

I'm not saying it's nearly as bad as the Wii's situation, but wait too long and it will be.

Correction

Wii average selling price $157

Xbox 360 average selling price $269

PS3 average selling price $314 

at least in the only place that actually tracks average selling prices. Don't try and make the ps3 look infinitly more expencive then the competition. The average xbox sells for less then $50 less.  http://www.gamasutra.com/view/feature/6409/npd_behind_the_numbers_may_2011.php?print=1

And no the other two consoles are doing fine against the wii.

Last week the wii fell 21% while the ps3 and 360 fell only 8%.

This week the wii looks like it will fall 5% while the 360 will be flat, and the ps3 will actually be up. The 360 and ps3 don't need to beat the wii as long as they are approaching wii numbers before they even get pricecuts they will be fine.
