kn your right about mas market ill agreed, an nintendo really gets that theory, but from where i see it the ps3 20gb version was only 100$ more then the premium version of the xbox360, and its almost the same machien, 20gb, no wireless, and the ps3 included hdmi and bluray, and that version didnt sell well ider, they even stop making that version, and the xbox360 premium sold very well, so i think is wierd. a bad thing for the ps3 is that it has a lot of 360 ports but not many original games, that is something that the have to fix an in a hurry because their game library is pretty sort but now you can do other stuff like plays standar dvd in 1080p upscaling and more.

Yes, the 360 premium is selling better than the PS3 but is by no means sealling "well". It is selling incrementally better than the PS3 only because it is incrementally better priced. As far as "mass market pricing" the 360 is not in that arena yet, either. It's still far too expensive to be a big seller.  IMHO, I believe the first console of the PS3/360 to reach $299 (psycological price barrier below $300) will have the highest chance of being the long term victor.

I belive that if Microsoft, today, knew how poorly the PS3 would be selling, they could have dropped their price on the premium to 299 and gone 389 on the elite, they could have just about put a nail in the ps3 coffin given the strong lineup of 360 games compared to the PS3. (that is assuming that Sony didn't take drastic measures and cut their console to say $399 or $449)
