"Sony earlier this month offered a discount on the PlayStation 3 and Microsoft Corp. said it's considering a price cut for the Xbox 360 to catch up with Nintendo." MS clearly doesn't understand that they are not really competing with the Wii they are competing with the PS3. It's that simple, the Wii is targeting one demographic heavily and the PS3/360 are targeting another. There is obviously overlap in the appeal of the consoles but by in large that is the case. Regardless, the 360 could use a price cut soon. |
Just out of curiosity, what's the specific demographic the Wii is targeting, according to you? |
Perhaps my wording was poor. I didn't mean to imply that the wii was only targeting one demographic but that its focus was on different demographic segments than the PS3/360. And the reason I marganlize the overlap is not because it doesn't appeal to the traditional gamer segments but because I think those segments are largely getting a Wii plus another console. So in that regard they aren't directly competing since that segment is choosing both.
