Wii would still outsell it even at 249.

Also 360 currently isnt 199, only it's lowest model is. To make it a fair comparison, you would probably have to eliminate all other sku's and assume the 360 Elite was 199 alongside the PS3. In any case the HIGHEST priced 360 (either Pro or Elite, with a hard drive to match the PS3 to keep it fair) would have to be 199. (And then to keep things even in this hypothetical scenario, you'd eliminate the other 360 sku's).

In which case going against a 199 Elite or Pro, PS3 still probably wouldn't win by that much in USA.

 

 You have to be a nutcase/ hardcore nintendo fanboy to buy a wii over a ps3 at $199..

You have to have an I Q of less than an orange.

He in the right head would buy a $249 wii over a $199 ps3

I know this was a typo, but thank you for the vote of confidence.

Also: this topic is ridiculous. It doesn't give us any parameters to operate within.

A $199 PS3 would be selling at a loss, so even if it were scaled to that price it would probably be slightly more powerful than the Wii - but only slightly. The HD crowd would have abandoned it for the 360, no questions asked.

But it would have kept to old values, instead of the Blue Ocean, so the Wii would have curb-stomped it anyway.

Essentially, if the PS3 were 199? This would be a two-man race.
