US set up for 2 players (which is what we're hearing Kinect can support up to), ground up, using MSRP...

 

Wii 

 

• $200 console (includes Remote, Nunchuck, Motion Plus, Wii Sports & Wii Sports Resort) 
• $50 remote bundle (includes Motion Plus)
• $20 Nunchuck
• $20 Classic Controller Pro (x2)
• $310 total

Xbox 360

• $300 console (Type S, includes wireless controller, headset, 250GB HDD, Kinect-ready)
• $150 Kinect (includes... ???)
• $50 wireless controller
• $500 total

PlayStation 3

• $300 console (slim, includes DualShock 3, 120GB HDD) 
• $100 Move Starter pack (includes PS Eye, Move controller, Sports Champions?)
• $55 DualShock 3
• $50 Move controller
• $30 Move subcontroller (x2)
• $565 total

There's a game coming with the Dualshock now.

And you forgot to add batteries :P

If I'm adding batteries, perhaps we should also weigh electricity costs each console yields and television prices by resolution. ;)

Wii remote also comes with a game (Wii Play or soon Wii Party), though it'd add $20 for a 2nd Motion Plus.  Of course the DS3 bundles are also $60 MSRP, so that's $5 higher.  I tried to go with "standard" hardware and not get into seasonal or value bundles.  I also stayed away from cables (all 3 would warrant additional purchases though to get the best IQ).
