A Wiifor 249 or a PS3 for 299; my analysis is that November will show

Before with the Wii at 246 and the PS3 at 600 dollars it was no contest with the Wii selling a lot due to low price.

Enter the game changers:

One: a PS3 40 gig. SKU for 399

Two: a one hundred dollar gift bonus for Sony Lifestyle credit card signup.

Enter Ken Kutaragi with 299! its 299! your 40 gig. PS3 is 299! with the gift card!

And we have a significant game changer.

Come November gamers are going to be considering purchasing a Wii with its inherent hardware limitations and fewer quality games for 249 dollars- versus-299 dollars for a more technologicaly advanced unit with Online, DVD, Blu-ray movie playback and dolby digital output.

I forsee many more buying the PS3 and lower Wii sales.

Time wounds all heels.

A PS3 for 299 is the sweet spot.

Hmmm was the price diff. 50 dollars in the Game Cube versus PS2 days?

The price difference was $100 in GCN vs PS2 days.

And they are both still expensive.

Have it LOWER than the cost of the Wii, and maybe people will buy the PS3.

so I have to spend money + get a credit card with a 20%+ interest rate? no thanks and the sony line up will NOT be better thans wiis going into 08.

I'm not signing up for some credit card to get $100 off of my PS3. Even if I would, I wouldn't buy the 40gb PS3 because Ineed the backwards compatibility features.

oh dear... 300 dollars slashed after only one year...that would be outrageous according to this

it seems we are doing everything but playing beyond :|

And what do you mean by expensive since I assume that you either have a job or parents?

299? might have to get it just for its functions if it is really that cheap. 50 percent drop in not even a year?! either they're pathetic or willing to take risks.

I really think you meant 399. 299 is too low for ps3 at any time period within this year and maybe a few more years if sony wants to profit even a cent off it.

Only an idiot would get a credit card to get $100 off of a PS3. Hardly "a significant game changer."

I think the TC is expecting at least a million people to sign up for sony's credit cards.

That should be how many worthwhile games on ps3 that I cant get on the 360 which I own.

resistance, and mortorstorm come to mind maybe warhawk

re4,zelda,MP3,wario,spm,mario galaxy ssbb? (might be delayed) BWII, rayman 1,2

Fanboy much?

Its a big game changer when instead of paying six hundred its only 299 to get the same hardware.

A gimped wii unit for 249 or the latest PS3 for 299, gee let me think.(sarcasm for those wii fanboys that missed the point).

But then some "*****" have a hard time understanding what a 100 dollar gift card is.

So now the wii fanboys are upset that the "its so expensive" excuse is gone and that the 360 will sell more and the PS3 will sell more.

Even if the PS3 starts competing with the Wii, the Wii still has it's price cuts on the horizon.

Re4? its been there done that on the GC and PS2, Zelda its re-fried from Game Cube, like I said only FIVE games till December on the wii.

And as far as I know these are PS3 exclusives and in Dolby Digital and in 720p at least and not gimped versions on older hardware.

You left out:

Drakes Fortune.

Haze.

Ratchet and Clank.

Folklore.

Heavenly Sword.

I hate to be a jerk, but you are making your opinions seem like facts. Who says that the PlayStation 3 will have more worthwhile games by December 2007? Is it just you? Just because you say that there will be double the amount of worthwhile PlayStation 3 titles, doesn't mean it's true. Sorry.

you got bad taste in games then.Mario is sweet but thats all for wii? Atleast for me because i dont play mp and zelda. Dont see why any would chose a wii over a xbox 1 or ps2. Its funny because some of the games that are multiplat aren't gonna be on wii.
