Well lets see here. Lets say I'm a parent. I bust my ass at work every day to provide for my family. I have some young kids, the wifey tells me to go get them a game console as a birthday/Christmas gift.
Looking at Best Buy.com for 2 minutes to see their retail prices + factoring in a $99.99 XBox 360 ... I can get
XBox 360 Console - $99.99 (lets assume this rumor is true)
Lego Star Wars Collection - $19.99
Lego Harry Potter Years 1-4 - $19.99
Soul Calibur V - $19.99 (good for two boys)
Viva Pinata - $14.99
Skylanders (Starter Pack w/3 figures + base) - $74.99
Total - $250
Can't even get a basic Wii U for that.

Oh, I see. You are talking about kids' first video game system. That market isn't interested in the latest and greatest anyway, because kids break things. The only question is going to be why those parents would choose a 360 over a Wii that has the same games, plus much better substitutes for those exclusives you mentioned. Would kids rather play Viva Pinata or Mario? Does the average parent know Viva Pinata or Mario? Microsoft totally has the advantage here.

The Xbox brand is much more relevant these days than the Wii brand.
