Look at the wii section, funny how it doesn't take that much space. No need for price cuts or bundles (you should point of course, that the wii is bundled with wii sports in America and EU).

oo0o0o0ps i missed that xD

Either there's something I don't know about my 360 Arcade, or you mean a bundled 256Mb Memory Unit.

LOL at Wii section. 360 and PS3 are like a 12 page dissertation, Wii section could be fit on a fortune cookie.

 

and WTF? did the PS3 seriously go a month after discontinuing BOTH bundles before releasing a new one?



Seppukuties is like LBP Lite, on crack. Play it already!

Currently wrapped up in: Half Life, Portal, and User Created Source Mods
Games I want: (Wii)Mario Kart, Okami, Bully, Conduit,  No More Heroes 2 (GC) Eternal Darkness, Killer7, (PS2) Ico, God of War1&2, Legacy of Kain: SR2&Defiance


My Prediction: Wii will be achieve 48% market share by the end of 2008, and will achieve 50% by the end of june of 09. Prediction Failed.

Bookmarked. This is going to be an awesome resource and I thank you for it.

Some comments:

It took me a moment to figure out the * and ^ of the PS3 section; I presume that info is in the pending main writeup?

Also, the main explanation for the 360 has the information that the 20g Pro was discontinued on 1 Aug when the 60g Pro was introduced, but the list does not reflect this.

Lastly, I think that you should consider turning "B4" into the full word "before" here: "65-nm CPUs making them quieter and cooler than B4"

[edit:  Also "Oct 27 07 Discountinued" Discontinued]

I reread your breakdown twice. I am shocked that the U.S. isn't getting nearly the bundles on the 360 that Japan and Europe is getting. Those bundles would definitely sell over here - comeon ... buy a 360 and get QoS or COD:WaW? That's sweet.

The Wii description is kind of just a big run-on sentence.

Wii includes the console, a stand to allow the console to be placed vertically, a circular clear stabilizer for the main stand, one Wii Remote, one Nunchuck attachment, one Sensor Bar, a removable stand for the bar, one external main power adapter two AA batteries, one composite AV cable with RCA connectors, and a copy of Wii Sports except in Japan a slot-loading optical media drive that accepts both 12 cm Wii optical discs & GameCube discs 2 USB ports are located at its rear an SD card slot hides behind the cover on the front of the console & a WiFi connection but no Ethernet port adapter sold separate

I would recommend fixing it up.  This would be a minor fix, just inserting grammar and the size of GC discs to mirror the Wii disc size specification:

Wii includes the console, a stand to allow the console to be placed vertically which includes a clear circular stabilizer, one Wii Remote, one Nunchuck attachment, one Sensor Bar, a removable stand for the bar, one external main power adapter, two AA batteries, one composite AV cable with RCA connectors, and a copy of Wii Sports (except in Japan). 

The Wii has a slot-loading optical media drive that accepts both 12 cm Wii optical discs & 8 cm GameCube discs, 2 USB ports which are located at its rear, an SD card slot which hides behind the cover on the front of the console, and a WiFi connection, but no Ethernet port adapter (sold separately). 

I think you ought to consider mentioning the Wii Remote Jacket.  I don't know when they began including this with Wiis, but that would seem to be the sort of retail package modification you are tracking. 

Since you mentioned aspects of the hardware like the dual-size-compatible disc drive, I would also consider mentioning the Gamecube controller and memory card ports.

Great thread, I'm shocked to see M$ is more desperate than I thought lol

Oh, how so? The 360's price cuts are very similar to the PS3's, even though it has been out a year longer.

Take a look at it again. Besides, it's Sony that has been losing the most money per console, so their $/€100 cut seems more "desperate," if anything.
