Price is gonna be the major issue Sony faces in this regard. You can currently purchase a Wii with WiiSports, a Wii MotionPlus, and WiiSports Resort for only $200. The cheapest PS3 available is $300, and that's just for the system. Add a game, Move, and the Playstation Eye (it will probably be necessary) to that, and you're looking at over $400, more than twice the cost of the same amount of content available out-of-the-box with a Wii. Since initial value is something many of the average gamers base their purchasing decisions on, it'll be really difficult for Sony to put any kind of dent in the Wii's momentum, especially if the games they offer for Move are largely the same kinds of games available on Wii.

 a game doesn't cost sony anything as its first party for the move bundle

PS3 is already making a profit and with more profit with 40nm RSX and fall 32nm CELL chips

 

SONY will be able to reduce their 120gb SKU price to $249 and not lose at it

 

now for the move bundle PS EYE cost barely $20 to make(it sells for $30),MOVE and NAV are just a broken up DUALSHOCK 3 which cost $30 to make(sells at $40) so MOVE NAV will be $50 and a game (free)

the toal comes to  $70

 

now if we take the $249 120GB SKU,SONY can EASILY bundle MOVE plus everything it needs it for a $20 loss which can be easily made up by 120gb SKU and 250GB SKU profit and SW sales

 

they can also take out DS3 from the $249 120GB SKU and bundle MOVE for no loss.

 

 

i don't know how the hell did you reach the $400 mark
