If they drop it, then maybe buying Metal Gear Solid 4 and Devil May Cry 4 will be sorta justified.

Though if they get ported to 360 (Rumors), all the better. Same games, only $100 less for the system to play them.

I should've added that if they can secure MGS4 and DMC4, and a few other games (Is Killzone 2 out yet?) PS3 may survive the Console Wars.

Funny thing about it...more than likely the other 2 systems will drop in price, too...still making the PS3 more expensive. personally, I'm pretty happy with my 360. I just got Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, & rented Gears of War & Dead Rising via Gamefly....so I', set for quite a while. Good thing to, because it's gonna be a few weeks before my tax refund is in where I can get a Wii....provided that I can find one to buy....

Would the Wii even have to drop it's price? Isn't it already only like $200?

Probably not, but if it did, it would give people that much more of a reason to get a Wii(& maybe a 360, too) instead of a PS3.

Wii is $250 right now. Nintendo refuses to sell for no higher.

It would eventually drop though. Give it a year or two before we see any actual drop. Nintendo's in a pretty good position with their price right now so they could spare a year and people will still buy because demand is so high, the current price is more affordable than the alternatives, and thier price would still be lower than or equal to an X-Box 360 by the time a price drop is called for.

Well, I hope they do lower the price on the thing. It's not because I want one though, it's because I keep reading that nobody expects Microsoft to drop the price on the 360 any time soon because of how much cheaper it is even now than the PS3. So, if a PS3 price drop will get me a 360 price drop I'm all for it. :grin:

This issue of VGCats explains why the Wii is selling well. The price helps, too.
