With 70% marketshare the PS2 actually dropped prices quite often last gen, letting the customers benefit from reduced manufacturing costs. The only reason the PS3 isn't following suit is because Sony is bleeding money ( and dropping prices when you still make a profit after the price drops won't necessary affect your profit so much because you will sell more, dropping prices when you loose money amplify the loss a lot).
The Wii manufacturing costs have gone down quite a bit but with a lower marketshare the Wii price hasn't moved at all...
PS3-Xbox360 gap : 1.5 millions and going up in PS3 favor !
PS3-Wii gap : 20 millions and going down !
