LOL, lots of people are thinking almost the same I am: so, being priced over $200, Wii only warmed up its muscles up until now?

No. Price isn't everything. Alot of the time it has to do with brand and in America right now I'd say Wii has a huge brand advantage over that of 360 especially the 360 arcade SKU.

Honestly, I don't think it will. Price is not the issue, or we'd see the Arcade outselling the other 360 models, yet it hasn't ever done that. Even when they rebranded it the "Arcade" and tried selling it on the basis of XBLA, it failed to gain any traction. Why would it be any different now? The Wii barely even matters; the 360Arcade has failed on its own merits or lack thereof, and a price drop will not help it.

Complexity is not depth. Machismo is not maturity. Obsession is not dedication. Tedium is not challenge. Support gaming: support the Wii.

What do I hate about modern gaming? I hate tedium replacing challenge, complexity replacing depth, and domination replacing entertainment. I hate the outsourcing of mechanics to physics textbooks, art direction to photocopiers, and story to cheap Hollywood screenwriters. I hate the confusion of obsession with dedication, style with substance, new with gimmicky, old with obsolete, new with evolutionary, and old with time-tested.
There is much to hate about modern gaming. That is why I support the Wii.
