this gen has been so different in every respect its not even funny.

That is putting it lightly. Mainly because Nintendo's budget (both from MSRP and production cost) offering converted into mass consumer gold.

But even the Wii will sell most of its units at the current $199 MSRP or lower when they do drop price again.

The PS3 will eventually see higher annual projections from SCE when they can feasibly sell them for $199.

We still don't have any definitive information on the SKU sales breakdowns for the 360 although you can loosely extrapolate based upon spikes in game sales that were holiday bundled with each respective SKU, before and after the bundles were available. Personally, I'm not convinced most of the SKUs even currently being sold are Arcades. But when production ends on the 360, I will be completely unsurprised if the majority of those sales were at $199 or less.
