The 360 premium is selling for cheaper than the Wii in the UK.

@OP depends on when - if you mean at launch because for a split second they were, then a split second later domination began.

Wii tapped into a relatively new market like the ipod. It really isn't competing with anything. Its simple, if you want to play games with motion controls, you buy a wii...nothing else!

Your question is irrelevant. A radio company wants music lovers to buy their radios but they are not competing with CD player companies.

Wrong, to some extent they are competing against each other.

Man what is with all the trolling today?

To some extent, every company in the world is competing with each other in that they want consumers to give them their limited money. You'll have to ask Ioi why he doesn't track Microwave sales.

It's so sad that some people continue to bring this up.  The correct answer is no.

The Wii is not competing with PS360.

It's annihilating them.

Get over it already and just accept that even though the Wii isn't your type of gaming doesn't make it irrelevant.  It is still directly competing with the PS3 and 360 regardless of what MS/Sony/Nintendo PR says.  As long as consumers are choosing Wiis over PS360 you can't pretend it's not "really competing" with them.

Instead of going out of your way to make an incredibly stupid and off-base comparison, try a realistic one, like portable MP3 players and CD players. The half-witted analogy you give in your first paragraph is closer to the relationship between heavy machinery and personal cars - both automobiles, but intended for very different purposes. This is unlike consoles, which are all intended as home game systems.

The competition betwen different types of portable music devices, some of which differ markedly in technology, price, etc. is much closer to the mark, which is why, even if you had thought of it, you would not have used it.

This thread is about the market, fanboy crap is not interesting.
