The bigger question is.. will Wii outsell ps3?

[hsrob]

I don't understand when people say the Wii won't get a boost from it's price drop, using the logic that "people could already afford it at $250".

I am speaking from the point of view of someone who has a full time income, but buying a console is not an issue of affordability for me, it's just a matter of whether i'm willing to buy it at a specific price point. I mean as long as you have some kind of job it's only going to take a few weeks to save the money for any console. I could easily walk out and buy a PS3 tomorrow but I'm not going to because i don't have the time for more games at the moment and because i have other things i would rather spend 500 dollars (I live in Australia) on right at the moment.

Now if the PS3 dropped to $400 or $300 i might change my mind but it's not because i can suddenly afford it whereas i previously couldn't. It's just gotten to the point that in the scheme of things that are competing for my money on a weekly basis, i feel it's worth it.
