There is a lot more competition these days for sales as theres a still viable $99 Wii and Microsoft is making strides in developing markets like for instance Brazil where their console is selling better than the PS3 due to them building a factory down there.


$99 Wii in Canada

and Wii is more than likely going to be dropped next/later this year.. considering nintendo is releasing no ip for the system, and is barely being shipped as it is..

PS3 is still fairly expensive at entry price with the system being $269, but once sony cut the system to $199 or less.. it'll continue to sell well as long as there isn't a nexgen console out from microsoft or sony

Well you've got to factor in the fact the poorer people can't afford the games anyway so I would pick the pirateable 360 over the PS3 long term in many of the smaller markets. The base price of the 360 has been the same for 4 years now so surely they have to move it down before the Nextbox was released and they have a system which has a unified cpu/gpu which ought to be cheaper to manufacture. The next gen will probably launch for a reasonable price @ $399 so I don't think the system will have the legs of the last generation.



Tease.
