I quite agree, Wii and PS3 look almost independent, Wii didn't fall from its previous average when PS3 Slim was released and PS3 even managed to have a small increase, due to a positive balance between normal fall after launch spike and boost from game release, even the same week Wii had its cut. It's quite likely Wii and PS3 are seen as products different enough to not really compete directly.
