E3 2006: Microsoft Recommends Wii Peter Moore tells people to pick up a Wii and a 360 instead of a PS3. by JKR May 11, 2006 - You read it right. Peter Moore, a vice president for Microsoft, asked in a recent interview, "Tell me why you would buy a $600 PS3?" He went on to explain, "People are going to buy two [machines]. They're going to buy an Xbox and they're going to buy a Wii ... for the price of one PS3."

Microsoft seems to have decided to side with Nintendo in order to overthrow Sony's current lead in the videogame market. Whether the strategy will work or not remains to be seen. Though no official announcement has been made regarding the price of Wii at launch, it is expected to release for a significantly cheaper price than either the 360 or Playstation 3 consoles. Nintendo has stated many times that it does not wish to compete directly with Sony and Microsoft in the next generation war, opting to move into a new direction with Wii that will complement the other systems.

Yeah. With the non-crippled PS3 being so expensive, they're trying to appeal to people who'd rather get the cheaper xbox and a wii (estimated US retail is rumoured to be around $200). Divide and conquer.
