I didn't contradict myself at all, Las. It's selling so fast because people want to buy it - and take it from me, if someone can come up with $250, it's no big stretch to choke up $600.
People will buy the console they want, not the one they're limited to affording. By your logic, the margin would consist of poor folk. We're talking a sales margin in the millions here. Claiming it's due to all those buyers being poor is just ludicrous.
The Wii offers an entirely different experience than the PS3 and 360. Don't underestimate the part this difference plays in appealing to larger markets.
