Have you ever taken any sort of economics course? The cost of the console to the producer should in no way affect your (the consumer's) judgement.
If the marginal benefit of the product is greater or equal to the marginal cost, then its econimical for you to buy the product. In common terms, if the Wii is worth $250 to you then you are going to buy it. If it's not, you aren't going to. It is the same with the PS3. If it's worth $600 to you then by all means buy it.
By no means should how much the producer (Sony, Nintendo, etc) pays for it influence your decision. It's just simple economics.
