At $600, the only people banking on the PS3 selling out across the board were Ebay flippers, who coincidentally represented a major chunk of the people initially buying them.

Low price, "it" factor, low availability, perceived ease of use and accessibility have all contributed to the Wii's success. I actually see the Nintendo brand name and game line up as being two factors that aren't major selling points to anyone who isn't already a fan of the world of Nintendo.
