I'm sure it is true, though perhaps with qualifications (such as "in the UK"). I must say that the recent price cuts do make the Xbox a lot more attractive. It's the least expensive console, with even the 60GB version costing less than the Wii, let alone the entry level version. It's actually closest in price to the PS2 (still 50% more expensive, but just a BP40 difference). This puts it in a new position, opening a new market. The PS3 is more than double the price.
