Wii was just just a hit because of the ps3 price tag, really you're being serious?
Wii was a hit because it offered something completely new and innovative which could be enjoyed by entire families. It was a hit because of motions controls and Wi Sports. Not because they couldn't afford a ps3. Besides Xbox 360 was already on the market for some but that didn't stop people from getting a Wii either. You've got to remember most people didn't yet have a HDTV anyway, that factor became relevent only later.
Sure the high price of ps3 might have helped a little bit but you're selling the Wii short here. Everyone wanted a Wii when it was released, regardless of what was going on with ps3.
