360, wii has pleanty of card left to play (new colours, new models, bundles) befroe a price drop

360, the Wii doesn't have to subsidize suck like the 360 does so it can keep the price high.

In similar news you have to pay full price (or pretty damn close) for a BMW but you can get HUGE discounts on a Hyundai! Just don't expect it to not suck.

If the wii dropped to 150 before, say, 2011, the effect would be horrible. In order to get one you would have to camp outside a best buy for a week, fending off rabid soccer moms with a pointed stick and a torch.

The aftermarket (Amazon.com/Ebay) price for the Wii is still around 300$. They're not going to price drop.

The 360 might, but it won't do much good.



Wii has more 20 million sellers than PS3 has 5 million sellers.

Looking at them

Wii is doing amazing at the current price, there is great demand for it. No need to change, before that they can experiment with some colours, with great bundles. So before they need it they might try something else so no.


MS trying to stay in the 2nd place, are slashing prices quite regularly, in Europe cheaper or this same price as the wii, still no where near in sales. I think they will be there sooner


Sony, well they are the ones that do need a price-cut.

Wii @ 199 just isn't gonna happen anytime soon. If anything, Nintendo could be raising the price. $99 Arcade will happen before $199 Wii, maybe sometime in 2010.

360!



    R.I.P Mr Iwata :'(

tis definatly goin to be the wii

microsoft is already busting its ass to get out a x box for 200 so 150 aint goin to happen



PLAYSTATION®3 is the future.....NOW.......B_E_L_I_E_V_E

 

Consoles owned: Game Cube, Gameboy Color, Gameboy Advance, Nintendo DS, PSP, PS1, PS2, PS3.

My prediction: NATAL WILL NOT help 360 sales. Maybe a 50-100k boost week 1, then a 30-70 k boost week 2, and back to the norm again after 3-5 weeks.

the 360 maybe be 99$ before 2010.
and thats bad lol



This holiday:

Sing Star PS2 - 149
Xbox 360 Arcade w/5 games - 199
Wii w/ Wii Sports - 249

My answer, 360.



I would cite regulation, but I know you will simply ignore it.
