What I can see from this weeks sales is this:
$200 360 is shaving like 10k of ps3 sales and like 20k from Wii.

Just a LIIIIITle bit? Because MGS4 bundle pack pushed the PS3 past Wii for a week at $500. You don't think a 360 at $300 less then that could do it consistantly? The Wii's price advantage is over..... *A cold wind blows...* |
well it sure doesn't look like it here in europe.
You can now buy a Xbox360 Premium for pretty much the same price as a Wii( actually it have been this way for 6 month already)
If it isn't turnbased it isn't worth playing

Ok... do you really think people buy the Wii because they see the little white box sitting there and say "how much is that?" and are given the answer "$250"... "Wow, that's cheaper than the other consoles, I should buy one!".
Or, is it more likely that they PLAY the Wii and have FUN with it, hence the reason they decide to purchase it. Even if the Wii's price advantage ends (temporarily), its hype and fun advantage won't end any time soon.
This is just one of many reasons why your prediction is full of fail. Sorry.

You dissin' the Stillers, brah?
"'Casual games' are something the 'Game Industry' invented to explain away the Wii success instead of actually listening or looking at what Nintendo did. There is no 'casual strategy' from Nintendo. 'Accessible strategy', yes, but ‘casual gamers’ is just the 'Game Industry''s polite way of saying what they feel: 'retarded gamers'."

Why not because it doesn't have a HD?
Sony's system will hold up because of the games. Wii will hold up since its Wii. Any console on a store shelf this holiday season will be sold.

This.
Also PS3 will have strong enough sales against 360 to not warrant a price cut. To price cut before Holiday would be useless. Sony would win a proxy battle. Bundling this holiday would work out probably. Watch for aprice cut early next year when component prices are further cheapened and 45nm cell / rsx are made.

The 360 is already cheaper than the Wii in Europe. Amazingly the 360 still gets outsold by the Wii on a weekly basis. If the rumors or true this prediction will only take a month and a half to disprove at least.
