Which brings up an interesting question: What were the games to push the PS1/2 to over 100 million? It can't be MGS, GT, GTA, R&C, DMC and the likes, because the PS3 has all of these, yet it is losing badly.

the game was the 200$ price point.

So the PS1/2 only sold because they were cheap?

cheap is not the word. reasonable is. It was a reasonable combination of great games and price point.

I will stand by my opinion that one of the big reasons nintendo is doing well is because of the price point, sure it has other great features but I think this feature is downplayed quite a bit.

As for the 360 being cheaper, I think the price point comes down to value.

People see wii as being incredibly valuable for the price where MS is plagued by its RROD image and nerfed specifications of the cheaper arcade set. Wii isn't nerfed. It is the highest powered product by nintendo, whereas the 360 arcade is severely gimped from its brothers.

In the eyes of consumers "would you rather buy a top tier version of one system or a low tier version of another system."
This may seem like a non-factor but I mean if you wanted a DS for christmas would you ask for the DSfat or the DSi? In that respect, I don't think the 200$ core 360 makes that much of a difference to sales, which is reflected by recent sales.
