Who said crisis won't keep on hurting them? But the long and short of my argument is that I believe a cost difference greater than $200 is quite unlikely NOW. I'm not absolutely sure, obviousy, but I find it unlikely. And I perfectly know that in the past, when the cost of both were higher and so were the terms of the subtraction, a cost difference greater than $200 was very likely, OTOH, even not taking into account that in the past BD was still very expensive, making that difference even larger. I didn't use Heaven knows what wacky reasonment to come to my conclusions, I simply thought about what I can buy at retail price and have it sent to my address for $200, and MS and Sony don't pay retail prices for components and shipping. But if you want a more pertinent analogy for that price and the items and market we're talking about, think that Wii can be sold at less than $240 giving anyway a profit to both Nintendo and retailers. Well, what else I can say? These and those in previous msgs are my reasons and arguments to believe a cost difference greater than $200 unlikely, if I'll find better ones (the ideal would be to know bulk prices), I'll post it, otherwise I'm done.

About your answer to liquidninja, well, I agree, Nintendo found the right way to play the game, and looking at those charts, it did also during generations when it wasn't winning as number of consoles sold.

 

You don't understand it. It's about Sony earning less per ps3 sold in the states. 

Anyways, you are still trying to guesstimate things you don't know jack about. I wonder why you insist trying to defend the undefensible =/
