Possible PS3 price drop: $100 in the USA, 5000 yen in Japan

People are well aware of the Wii's graphics relative to the competition. It's not like the Wii is showcasing last-gen graphical powerhouses like RE4 or God of War 2. People see the graphics on Wii Sports and Cooking Mama on one screen at Wal-Mart, see awesome next-gen graphics on the MS and Sony screens, and they choose the Wii.

you havent been to the stores ive been to it seems. They had a PS3 and a 360 running on 15 inch SD LCD TVs, i thought i was looking at sonic heroes, but it was this generations sonic.

See previous point. GC was $199 from day one and ended up in 3rd.

True, it's not all about price. The system that wins is the one viewed as the system for everybody. PS3 priced itself out of the market, and the 360 feels too Western (FPS, crime, racing, etc.) Wii is close to becoming the system to get because everybody else is getting it.

The thing that is mainly making the Wii sell from what Ive seen at my job which consists of mostly females is that chicks who would never play games before think the games are cute, fun and easy to play.They don't care about the graphics at all just that its fun . So they are buying the Wii I mean we've seen the exact same thing happen with the DS. It doesn't have the graphical power of the PSP but outsells it like crazy.

The Wii will be home to Nintendo franchises, licensed kids' shows games, mini-games, and various puzzle/card/interactive games. I find it very odd that despite the overwhelming success of the Wii launch, we're still not seeing new game announcements left and right.

I honestly don't know anyone that owns a Wii. Aside from 'net people.

Who the hell are buying these things?

Pauline Kael's famous remark after Nixon's 1972 landslide: 'I don't know how Richard Nixon could have won, I don't know anybody who voted for him.'"

I can deal with a price drop.

It's only a matter of time before another game comes along which along with Resistance and Motorstorm make a purchase worth it.
