Yesterday..or two days ago… I do not know, I work on a Nintendo website…Sony announced they would be dropping the cheapest PS3 from $300 to $250. Sony is hoping this move would cause Wii owners to move from the Wii to the PS3.

“The other rationale about having the price drop now is that our arms are wide open for Xbox 360 and Wii consumers to come aboard the platform. We knew with the software lineup we have the time was right to say we’re open to all gamers, whether it’s a second console for the household or a new one on the family demographic side. Either is great for us, and with the software lineup we have coming, we think that 360 and Wii consumers will certainly be very interested with the new price point.” – SCEA’s director of hardware marketing, John Kolelr

Most of the Wii owners who would own two systems probably already own their second system. The other group of old people who enjoy the motion controls of the Wii would most likely buy a Kinect. Yes I went there! What I have seen through my eye-balls and ear-holes is that casual gamers prefer the Kinect more the the Move.
