The basic PS3 is already $299 and the Move starter bundle is going to be about $100, we already know people like the cheaper deals and that isn't too much of a deal.

 

Im my personal retail experience many are willing to pay a bit more to get the bundle with more.  In many cases they are just dumb enough to think if it costs more has a few more things it must be better.

Sorry, I didn't finish my thought because I'm flakey like that sometimes.

I agree, people will buy bundles because of the implied value, but since Wii's aren't sold out anymore you can easily find them. 

A PS3 with a Move bundle and a Wii sitting next to each other to your typical casual gamer are essentially the same thing except:

  • The Wii has more things they have heard of (Mario, Wii Sports, Wii Fit)
  • The Wii is much cheaper while offering the same thing
  • The Wii is something their kids can play

-edit-

And please don't respond with OMG they aren't the same thing! or what about LBP, kids can play PS3 too! I know this, you know this, they don't know that.
