The Wii price cant go down so much as the others .Most people that would buy the system at 150 or 200 buy it just the same at 250 with a game .

Current numbers point to Wii dominating ,specially in the USA .The scenario put by the latest numbers and trends would be the Wii dominating in USA but not a lot over the combined 360+PS3 ,winning in Japan but a 60-40 or 65-35% against the PS3 and winning too in Europe but by not much against the PS3 and definitely below the PS3 and 360 combined numbers .In some markets as Italy ,Germany ,Spain ,Portugal and others the PS3 would win ,in others as France and UK the Wii would win but succumb against the combined PS3 and 360 numbers .

In any case I just dont want to accept that the way weaker machine and the one with the worst current and future lineup will just own traditional gaming and turn everybody into Wii Fitters and Wiidogs rabids with just a little niche for hardcore games in 2-3 games for year .

 The Wii will be the first system sold for 50$ with a game. When it's that cheap, how could anyone refuse to buy it?  People will buy extra's for spare rooms.  To say that price would not affect the Wii's sales is ridiculous.  Price always affects your sales.  Price your item too high people won't buy it.  Nintendo has the upper hand when it comes to pricing their system.  They will consistently make money after each and every price cut.  They can afford to cut the price whenever they feel like it.
