you forgot to mention that the Wii launched for $350 less than the ps3 (600-250= 350) Thats the difference right there. As technology costs are lowered, the price of the PS3 will be lowered.

lol you really think price is the reason Wii is selling so well?

I think thats one reasonable cause yes. 

I think it is keeping the fire stoked in what would otherwise be "dry" times, but we have also seen this holiday that those who cannot get a Wii are still willing to pay scalper prices on eBay to get them.
