Of the Core. From $515 to $415. ... only in Japan.
So let's recap:
Wii: US $249, Japan $212 (Japanese prices include taxes, American ones don't)
X360: US $299/$399 (??? for the HD-DVD player), Japan $243 (price drop from $252 just announced)/$333 (coming soon: premium bundle with Blue Dragon). (HD-DVD player $170)
PS3: US $499/$599, Japan $427/$??? (retailers set the price for the Premium; $527 now? (10000 Yen more than core))
However, all PS3 Cores now have HDMI output...
If you want to make those US prices look good though, just include the European prices too... :)
