What would sell the best this holiday?

The PS3s combined 13 25.49%
 
The 360s combined 7 13.73%
 
The Wiis combined 31 60.78%
 
Total:51

This is all speculation, please no fanboyism! Yes boys, that means no trolling. O and this is consoles only

(Excuse my ignorance, I dont know how to convert $ to euros/pounds/yen)

 

From Sony

-120 gig PS3 bundled with Move, and  LittleBigPlanet for $300

-250 gig PS3 bundled with Move, LittleBigPlanet,and  3-D version of Batman AA for $400

 

From Microsoft

-Xbox slim arcade with 1 gig of internal memory for $150 with one casual game

-Xbox slim elite with 250 gigs for $250 with Natal and two Natal games

-Xbox Slim limited addition for $350 comes with Halo Reach, Halo 3, Halo Wars, and Halo ODST with 250 gigs

 

 

From Nintendo

-$200 wii bundled with Wii sports

-$250 Dollar black colored wii bundled with Vitality sensor, wii sports, and a game that uses vitality

 

 

In my opinion I think the HD systems are going to have to bundle the motion sensors in order for them to survive. I also think the 360 is going to get upgraded gigs and a pricecut. The wii is going to premote their vitality sensor by bundling, I don't think it would do so well without it. What's your thoughts?

Well I do love long sho-

Of course the Wii will



Obviously the Wii, although those PS3/360 bundles would be great.



You shouldn't have included the Wii. It would outsell the PS3 and the 360 even without a new bundle and a new price cut.



The listings for Sony/Microsoft sound more likely as Black Friday deals.

The Wii, almost a silly question.

Why would the 250gb version of the PS3 cost more, if it only comes with 3D Batman AA and some extra storage? Would they really charge $100 for 130gb of HD space (they aren't MS with their proprietary system) and a year old game?

Expanded: I also think your Xbox 360 deals are a little extreme. I can't see a Limited Edition 360 Slim coming with all 4 Halo games for $350. It would make far more sense to have 4 different franchises, so you get people to like the franchises and buy the rest of the games. If it was all 4 Halo games, MS wouldn't get any more software sales easily, because people already own the franchise.
Also, the $250 for Elite + Natal + 2 Natal Games seems a little cheap. That sounds more like a Black Friday deal. If you knock of the 2 Natal games (but allow one simple, Wii Sports-like game to come with Natal all the time), it might be possible.

Actually, I was comparing it to your other deal:

"-120 gig PS3 bundled with Move, and  LittleBigPlanet for $300

-250 gig PS3 bundled with Move, LittleBigPlanet,and  3-D version of Batman AA for $400"

All that the 2nd one has is 130gb of extra storage and 3-D version of Batman AA. Why would that, a year old game and 130gb storage, cost an extra $100, compared to the other deal? So, why do you think they would put the first at $300, and then just that little bit of extra stuff at $100 premium.

ah ok sorry for snapping at you. 120 gigs plus a 60 dollar game is more more value than 100 dollars.  sony would obviously do this for more money because HDD doesnt cost them nearly as much for what they sell it for...

350 would be definetly a better price for the second PS3  bundle if the first is 300.
