 Absolutely.   Which is especially why 'Game quality' is such a subjective term in this discussion.  Price (Being lower than the competition) and Motion Controls (Being unique within either of the three companies) are not subjective values here though.  

 


Who's arguing game quality?  Let's use an objective measure, like game sales, to prove out which console has the most appealing software from a massmarket perspective.

And again, there's zero indication that Wii's sold due to it's (initially) lower pricepoint.  And as I said before, most context surrounding the price (2nd hand prices, length of time w/o a price drop, historical pricepoints of Nintendo systems relative to performance, etc) more indicate the opposite.  I've yet to see anyone bring up a single thing that really indicates being a whopping $50 cheaper than a HD system for it's first two years (and then $50 more expensive it's next year) was the driving factor in sales here.  The argument there seems to be it was cheaper, so that must've been why it sold, without a shred of supporting evidence as that...
