Effect of sub-Wii prices on Xbox360 sales?

I think a problem with it is that it's the arcade version. It's still too dumbed down a version that I don't think it's right to view the console's price as "less than wii." Until a 360 with full featues gets below the wii, I don't think there's any debate.

Shouldn't have any effect.

I'm in Europe, and I paid less for my 20 GB 360 than for my Wii (Amazon UK has had a promotion for months now). Even ignoring promotions, Wii's price is really close to the price of the 360 Premium in Europe,and the Wii still outsells it by far.

 

A lot of Americans seem to ignore this constantly.  The 20GB 360 Premium is cheaper than the Wii in Europe.

 

Officially, no. The official prices are 250 € for the Wii and 270 € for the 20 GB 360. However, it's not hard to find a bundle/promotion with which you'll get the Premium 360 for less than the Wii costs. Such good deals on the Wii are much more rare.
