PS3 would have won if $249 same as Wii and overshadowed the other consoles like PS2 did and Wii would have never gotten any momentum Funny thing though, none of the two are happening anymore.Seriously, the people who would buy a PS3 only at 199$ are the mainstream gamers, and for them, the Wii is a much more lucrative purchase. yes because the PS3 was expensive at first and that damaged the name. the major winning point for PS2 was that it released at low price with a big brand and overshowed its competition and never let them come up PS3's huge price damaged its name a bit and also brought Wii the attention as the casuals buy only cheaper and popular consoles.PS3 is cheaper now but Wii got both popularity and price like the PS2. PS3 still survived as it had a very big brand name behind it.XBOX 360 or Wii would be near what PS3 is today with its price Case in point : Both the 360 and PS3 have reached out to most of their corresponding target consumer base. Maybe Move or Kinect can turn things around, both I wouldn't bet on that. yes 360 and PS3 has reached their target usebase but the advantage with PS3 is that it still has bigger brand and is popular around the world and as i said before if a thing is popular and cheap,the casuals will buy it so i think PS3 can sell more Move an Kinect will not do much,they are just to counte each other and to level the things a little bit so that Wii brand doesn't not have the clear advantage for next generation's start as a big brand and low price will win you the console sales race |
