X360 WW 08: 11.44M

Wii americas 08: 11.54M

Wii in Others was also very close to PS3 worldwide:
Wii - Others = 10,618,967
PS3 - World = 10,647,523

The sad thing about PS3 is that even with a price cut that people notice, which statistically is 20%, anything less and average consumer doesn't notice.

but heck even if the price was $300 for PS3's it would still be to me looked at as a starting price for a console and I'll wait till it gets a price cut. What the hell where Sony thinking starting at $600?

^That people feel so much pride in being a PS3 owner that they will work hard to buy one, as if it were a Ferrari!

Actually, if they continued to price it that high, they could have marketed it as a "console for noblemen", showing people in posh suits playing a PS3! That's upstreaming for you, just like Swarovski diamonds.
