I'm just surprised the gap isn't a little larger.
Don't be surprised, the gap should have been larger. I'm actually disappointed, the 360 is such an awesome console ( my ps3 too), at the price it's being displayed, it should have been atleast around 40 million total. The Wii is doing an amazing job, the wii brandname is a household name now, like the Playstation was. But in the sense that the Wii has introduced new bases in the console market. A large portion of the previous total userbase for the market, consists largerly of a group now, not having the funds to penetrate the console platform. I mean young gamers, who aren't very hardcore, but still prefer a PS3 or a 360 over the Wii anyday. I doubt that a large portion of Wii users would consider the Wii the same as an Xbox360 or a Playstation 3. Because it's being marketed differently.
Anyway,it will truly be interesting to see what a Price Cut does for the Playstation 3 in this period. When the 60 GB got it's price cut here in Europe ( that's when I purchased mine). The sales jumped 113% in a week or 2. There is no doubt that the Playstation 3 is quite Price Elastic, Sony probably knows this, we just don't know how they'll put it to good use. Also, whether we aknowledge it or not, HD adaptation is of a surety.
