The market is different now than during the PS2 generation.
1. There is a qualitative difference in the capabilities of the machines.
2. There is a larger and more diverse market.
3. There is a global economic downturn at present.
In the past year, the Wii has not had any true major releases or price cut -- while the two other consoles which are selling have had both.
And it continues to outsell the other two consoles combined -- just as it has done since its introduction in November 2006.
Finally, it should be noted that at this stage of the PS2's life, it got it's first price cut -- a 33% percent reduction (from $300 to $200). It would not be too too surprising if the Wii saw a price reduction this fall.

 I am Mario.I like to jump around, and would lead a fairly serene and aimless existence if it weren't for my friends always getting into trouble. I love to help out, even when it puts me at risk. I seem to make friends with people who just can't stay out of trouble. Wii Friend Code: 1624 6601 1126 1492 NNID: Mike_INTV |
