When will Wii surpass 360 (if ever)?

I don't speak Swedish, so I don't know. I just found the info on Wikipedia, and also on other pages.

robjoh said: The price in Europe might be with VAT, BUT does it matter? It is still ****ing expensive!

It's expensive, we agree. I just intented to point out that you cannot compare apples with oranges. US suggested prices are not the same as European suggested prices.

robjoh said: By the way how do you go from 6499 SEK = 710 USD...

Jep, it's $742, as you said. Sorry. So 24% more than the US version. The UK price is 18% above the US price. The Eurozone price is between 6% and 13% above the US price.

robjoh said: Mind you those prices is still without any game! So you need to spen 60 USD (import, here in sweden at least the games is closer to 100 USD (with VAT)).

How does that matter for comparing console prices? If you want cheaper games, get a DS, or used games, or PC games.

robjoh said: Sweden is sony country, the PS2 outsold the xbox360 with 3 to 1 this christmas. BUT I doubt that the same crowd that pays 990 SEK for PS2 will pay 6500 SEK for a PS3.

Like Sony said: "The next generation doesn't start before we say so." They will be fine with mostly selling the PS2 for another year or two while the PS3 remains the high end system. I'm not going to say Sony will succeed with that tactic, but that's their plan. We might even see PS3 price drops in those territories earlier where the PS2 wears off first.
