This is the universal truth of PS3 fanboys when talking relative 360/PS3 price:

If the overall sales are higher, its because the Xbox 360 is cheaper than the PS3 as the major reason for the difference.

If someone asks whether to get a PS3 or Xbox 360, they are told to get the PS3 because the Xbox 360 costs more over time as the major reason or about Blu Ray which is worth $$$.

Im not trying to be mean, but im getting sick of the contradiction.

 

All that matters to the consumers when they buy a product is the entry price. The hidden fees aren't usually obvious to them. I know it wasn't to me when i bought my wii.

ASP for the Xbox 360: $290 according to pachter

Cheapest Blu Ray player: $250 @ Bestbuy

This is one difference which is obvious to consumers, heck even the difference between the Arcade + Blu Ray is $50 in favour of the PS3 and demand for Blu Ray has been increasing.
