You didn't mention anything about when the PS3 dropped to $300 and it was outselling the Wii.  That's when Nintendo had to drop the price of the Wii, so yes price is everything. 

This is one hundred percent absolutely freaking ridiculous. The price was not everything for the few weeks where the PS3 outsold the Wii - did you forget that it was a hardware revision that helped to spur those sales?

Your oversimplification is so extreme that it reeks of intentional intellectual dishonesty.

The Wii was averaging like 180,000 sales weekly before the $50 dollar price drop that helped push it to 300,000+ and on top over the PS3.  There was no hardware revision there just a price drop. 

The Wii receiving a temporary (or even sustained) boost from a price drop does not mean that price is everything. The leap in logic here is enormous.

Price is not everything. The Wii would have whipped the ass of its competitors from start to finish regardless of the price wars involved. It's the software that sells it, though I allow that price is a factor.
