... people will pay £300 for a console, given the article above at least 1.5m Japanese people have quite recently. The Wii is stunning (i've got one with my Xbox 360) but it's aimed squarely at a different gamer, it's more fun and cute, but it's not going to appeal to the hard core gamers, racing games, Halo-types etc will not buy a Wii as the graphics can't cut it... for innovation and enjoyment the Wii wins hands down!
And Jon, it's hardly surprising that a PS3 will have sold a higher average volume per month given it was a product in demand that has recently been launched. A more accurate examination would be the sales for the first 3 months or 6 months of PS3 vs Xbox 360.... i think you'll find the Xbox will be out in front, given you couldn't get one for 4 months after they were launched unless you had a pre-order, whereas a PS3 was readily available... now ehitr given the huge delays from Sony led to them having plenty of stocks, or less people were actually that impressed having tried one?
