 The funniest thing about this generation is that it was ENTIRELY sold on price IMHO.

First you note the X360 launched at $400 leaving out the $300 model.
Then you note the PS3 launched at $600 leaving out the $500 model.

And finally you fail to note the X360 did not gain a sales lead over Wii even AFTER the X360 retailed for $200 compared to Wii at $250.

I'd say you opinion that Wii ENTIRELY on price needs some rethinking.

Actually, I did mention the 'Core' which was absolutely worthless and essentially required a purchase of an expensive HDD to even remotely get a full-fledged experience from the 360.  As for the cheap PS3?  How long did that even stay on the market?  It was an abysmal failure thus removed the SKU.

 

How long into the generation did it take for the Xbox360 to have a price advantage over the Wii?  Are you kidding me?  The Wii has already established a userbase.  It's just like the PS2.  When the Gamecube reached the $99 price who cares at that point?  It's lost the public appeal.  It's already been written off.  Everyone who is anyone has already purchased a PS2 and if they want to play the games their friends play or follow the herd they will own a PS2 too. 

The 360 seems to be out-selling the Wii just fine right now on a week to week basis though doesn't it?
