The Wii won, but it won it's own market. The Wii does not cover all the bases so there is plenty of room for HD consoles to be successful. Nintendo fanboys keep wanting to dance around in front of everyone else in their Mario Underoos yelling "We won, We won", but while the Wii is an undisputed success, it didn't cause the sales of everything else in the world to slump like the PS2 did.
As for the $50 360 drop and the North American market, I think Microsoft will be happy if they keep growing their market here. The NA market is a powerful market to have a firm foothold in. The price drop will keep their sales steady. $300 is a good price point to be at. While $200 is the golden price, $300 is at least what many people expect to pay for a video game system. $350 and $400 are above what many expect and are willing to pay.
I give this thread a 9.3.
