Infamy79, Wii cost only 50$ less, look how it sells.
Mass market price for PS3 - 299$. See how good x360 do this Christmas.

And of`course there will be a price cut for PS3 next year.

 

I agree that there will be a price cut for the PS3 in 2009, but I believe it will only be $50 to take it down to $349

Plus the Wii is an exception to the rule, or at least it's making its own rules. Nintendo originally aimed to launch the console for $199 because they know that it is the industry accepted mass market price. Just like how Microsoft wanted to get the Arcade down to $199 given that historically 75% of console sales are below $200.
