Yeah but the potential improvement for the Wii is much smaller. The Wii already costs 200$, it is barely larger than a DVD drive. The PS3 on the other hand has big room for improvement in both categories. (And I don't think people care about colors for home consoles as much as for handhelds which are like accessories) |
And I think you're overestimating the impact of a smaller model will have. Wii Fit is fairly bulky, yet it's already sold more than the PS3. And the combination of Wii + Wii Fit is almost the same price as a PS3.
Also, I think that because the high cost of the PS3, it makes a person less inclined to upgrade as they expect their investment to last longer.
