Is Sony's PS3 losing the console wars to the Xbox and Wii?

There has always been this contradiction.

arguement 1 "360 is actually more expensive because of the add-ons required"

arguement 2 "360 only sells more because it is so cheap!"

slight contradiction there.

 

Not really both are true depending on how you use it:

If you want just gaming and no net arcade is cheaper.

If you want full package with wi-fi, live and hd total cost of ownership is similar.

If you want full package as above + separate blue ray player then ps3 is seriously cheaper.

 

But typical consumer won't even know about points 2 and 3 as MS is very good at hiding additional costs.
