All I know is that there is nothing in either of these pricing structures that is going to make a Wii owner want to "upgrade."
For example, Both Pachter and Divdich predicted the PS3 with Move would be the Wii HD upgrade. That's $400 for a system bundle, $30 for a Navi -- That's $430 -- or more than twice the cost of a Wii. And the second player outfit is $125 for the PS3 vs. $60 for the Wii, again a 2x difference.
Meanwhile, the lowest Xbox Arcade/Kinect bundle being predicted is $300 -- or 1.5x the price of a Wii. And the price of the new slim model plus Kinect is $450 -- or more than twice the cost for a Wii (and more than the cost of the PS3 with Move above). Second player outfitting is slightly cheaper on the 360 -- $50 vs. $60.
The point is that both of these add-ons are risky and now they are pricy.
