| Supernova82 said: The Wii was launched at the right price. The other two consoles X360 and PS3 were over priced and have suffered with mediocre console sales as a consequence of the higher launch prices. The price is critical for success of any product. When prices of the consoles are equal we will have more competition. Competition is great for any industry. |
The prices of the consoles will never be equal, and in any case the products are not equal. 360 has more games than PS3 but PS3 has free online gaming and built-in wifi and Blu-ray and hardware that is slightly to somewhat superior. If the PS3 could magically cost the same as the 360 tomorrow sales would explode and that's a fact.
The Wii is very substantially less powerful than the other two but has motion controls and Nintendo games and has captured the attention of the masses as well as gamers (this is an advantage the other systems are highly unlikely to match). ILike the PS3, it has built-in wifi and free online gaming.
Price is important but it's not everything. And competition is good, agreed, but I just want to check that you realize your scenario will never come to pass as stated.

My advice to fanboys: Brag about stuff that's true, not about stuff that's false. Predict stuff that's likely, not stuff that's unlikely. You will be happier, and we will be happier.
