This could have something to do with perceived value. A 360 at $300 is a far better return on investment then a PS3 at $400.
The people who own PS3, seem to care less about the value, and more about the functionality.
Those people have more money. Sorry, it's just the truth.

Ugh, the old "face it, it's true" routine. It's always a giant, red flag indicating that the person doesn't actually have any evidence, but they want to overpower your argument with sheer force of will. "It's just true, too bad!"
Do you have any evidence to support your assertion? Because again, the only evidence we do have is that the Wii sells to wealthier families than the PS3 or 360 do. That certainly doesn't fit in to your "functionality = more money" equation. If it's not true for the Wii, why would it be so for the 360? I'm not saying you're necessarily wrong, mind you, just that the basis of your assertion most definitely is. You'll have to do better than "it's just the truth."

Well, how about this for two facts. The average age of a PS3 owner is older then the average age of a 360 owner.
As age goes up, people make more money (why the Wii has a higher average income, it has a lot of older owners).
So aside from anything related to the console itself, these two facts should account for it.
Now, the question is why is the average age of a PS3 owner higher? I feel it's due to the comments in my last post.

So did you miss my post where i stated that said survey excluded everyone under 18 and therefore is worthless.
If PS3 had a higher average of 13-17 year old owners/users then 360 then that would be completely unrepresented.
Also while people tend to make a little more money as they grow older. Most people don't tend to go from one bracket to a next in terms of wealth. It's more upword mobility in their own class.
Which makes age pretty pointless in this case when detirmining wealth.

What? How many 18 year old self made millionaires do you know? I personally know 20 or so millionaires. All of them are over the age of 40. None of them started out rich.
Almost ever person in a high income bracket worked there way there. I made $26,000 when I was 23, now I make 6 figures.
