Just to go with the price thing though. Ignore other accessories. The Wii was made for multiplayer gaming. Wii tennis may be a simple tech demo, but with 4 people of similiar levels it is amazing. As such what I paid for my base Wii set-up:
Wii $250; 3 extra controllers $120; 1 extra nunchuck $20
Total Wii base: $390
If I chose to get a PS3 today (I'm waiting for a price drop or a better bundle):
PS3 $299 (on Sonystyle, I'm all about the cheap); 1 additional controller (all I've needed for traditional gaming consoles) $50
Total PS3 base: $350
So I don't think price has as big as people think. Although launching at $600 certainly killed some PS3 buzz, we've seen time and time again that price drops only pick you up for a short period of time. It's only recently when blu ray won and a better game selection was out, and the PS2 only got Wii ports that it has started taking off.
