Because the PS3 includes a bluray player, wifi, adapter and free online gaming. To get all that with an elite you need to: buy a standalone bluray player for $100-150+, Wifi adapter $100, and a year of XBL gold $50. That around 200 extra bucks. Starting to make sense to you? |
While I'm not sure that Wi-Fi and PSN are that big of selling points to the casual user (moreso to the hardcore though), the inclusion of Blu-Ray is a coup for the PS3, as it is offered at the same price as the Elite.
Let's be honest though, how could it NOT have an advantage? Minimal differences in visual fidelity aside, the PS3 and 360 share a large library of multiplatform games. If your budget is $300, you can get an Elite, or the PS3 (with the included Blu-Ray player)...if the PS3 doesn't outsell the 360 with that value proposition they are in deep, deep trouble.
Obviously however, they will.
