It's perception. Not LBP - Not Solid Snake - Not GT or even God of War.
Folks see value in the Wii. They buy a few games for it, but they aren't buying the Wii because it has an HD drive, or because the games are eye candy. They are buying the Wii - and recently the 360 - because they can have a blast on the cheap.
For the sake of argument - if it's the games - then what game is pushing Wii sales? What game is a system seller? Nintendo went into the archives, brought back their tired NES glove and made a killing. But this time around, it's hip and fun - and combines video games with family entertainment. Family - and MS is hip to that. They are trying to make more games that are more intense than Wii games but aren't hard core for the PS crowd. They also have the luxury of being around when folks can't find a Wii. Then, folks are like 'This is only $199?!' MS is not - I mean NOT pushing the $199 price point. They know folks will buy it, but aren't really saying 'Why spend $249 when you can spend $199 for an HD console?'
