You missed my point Mike. The "what if the PS3 was the same price as the Wii argument" is pointless. It is too flawed to be mentioned and should never be used in any credible argument. A $250 PS3 would not be the same system as the $600 PS3, a $600 Wii would not be the same system as the $250. This is just as flawed as the rampant and incorrect economy car vs. luxury car analogy used to compare the Wii and PS3.
Actually I always tried to avoid comparing the Nintendo Wii with the PS3 because of this. They are geared towards different consumers and IMO have different future outlooks. It changed due to reading so many Nintendo Wii / PS3 sales comparison articles.
For example there was a cheap Amiga 1200 homecomputer model available and a much more expensive Amiga 4000 heavily expandable and more powerful desktop model available. Both products were geared towards different users, although manyy people would have preferred to own an Amiga 4000, unsurprisingly the Amiga 1200 model considerably outsold it.
IMO the PS3 and Wii are playing in different leagues, IMO the Wii at this point competes more with the PS2 than it does with the PS3.
