ASIA: Wii's success drives Nintendo's market capitalisation.

Both Microsoft and Sony have cut the price of their core consoles in the US market. The various formats of the Xbox will see discounts of between $20 and $50.

These moves are in part spurred by the availability of the cheaper Nintendo Wii.

The Wii is outselling Sony's Playstation 3 by a factor of six in the Japanese market and a factor of 2 in the USA. This success resulted in Nintendo's market capitalisation outstripping Sony's in July 2007.
