Hmmm. Things seem to be evening out. Unfortunate.

Still going strong, ps3 will pick up next month but so will Wii. PS3 slim and price drop effects won't last long. Wonder if a Wii price cut is coming and a black Wii, looking like they ain't needed yet.

It's surprising how long these consoles have been out and people are still buying them. And the Wii sold millions when it was first released. I can't believe no one would not have one.

550,000 ps3 slim units sold last week. Good for sony but it's mainly the price cut that did it. The Wii has done these numbers a few times before with no price cut and no new tech so this is no surprise.

Wii's userbase is huge, no amount of slim sales will catch that and ps3 slim sells at a loss. Don't get sucked into slim sales, it's only fanboys and commercial watchers getting slims. That bubble will soon burst. Wii looking like 199.99 US by October and many retailers will sell at less than that.

From my ventures on the web so far, it looks like signs point to a Wii price cut in October, if kotaku is to be believed.
