I in no way think that Nintendo made a mistake with the Wii or it being a fad. Even if it was a fad, personally I think Halo is a fad, but it really doesn't matter;. 6.5 million consoles sold there's going to be quite a few games being sold and that translates to bookoo money for Nintendo.

A person likes to play a certain game, then a friend see's that and ends up liking the game; monkey see monkey do. That and each individual liking a game is grey, and hard to argue against. <--(Too hard to explain, but hopefully someone will catch my drift)

Well I understand that this isn't a fact around the world, but in my experience of going to look at games, for some reason now I've yet to see any PS3's on display. Also at Gamestop for the past 3 times, I've seen someone buy just the cables to a controller to a PS3 game, and now they're stocked on classic controllers, wii remotes, nunchuks, wii play. I'm starting to think people have finally saved up to buy the massive piece of plastic and are going to keep Sony alive long enough for them to release some good games. :|

Sony will last as long as they have music players and TV's...

Hah! You think the PS3 is going to pull up? If you believe that, your as lost as any other Sony Fanboy on Wii-vo.

They're too arrogant and self centered to consider a price drop. THEY ALREADY LOSE $223 for every PS3 sold. that's why they're going to make a PS4.... Nintendo has price drops every six months or so, but at the Wii's pace, they're more likely to do one sooner because of the way it's selling.

Walk into ANY Best Buy. You'l see: an empty Wii shelf, and about 7 PS3's.

Well, you can't really tell by looking at the past of video games. At first, there was only Nintendo. Then SNES came out, along with PS and Sega consoles. Xbox didnt even exist back then until the gamecube and PS2 era, after Sega died out and become third-party instead. Wonder what would have happened if Sony and Nintendo actually did team up together back in the day..... I mean, Nintendo has great ideas, characters, and gameplay techniques, and Sony has great graphics, mature themes, and a need to copy ideas. If you put them together, that would be ultimate, although everyone knew it wouldnt work out. instead, microsoft created the Xbox to serve as a balance between the two gaming styles, just the right balance of gameplay and graphics, and never focused on one over the other. It's kinda like choosing between a sniper, a shotgun, or a rocket launcher. They all have different attributes which can never prove better than the other. and after that, sega died out, only with room for three major competitors.

Anyways, lets get back to track. I see a few issues here, although they dont seem too intelligent. (since when are fanboy arguments intelligent anyways? Not that any of you are fanboys) PS3's high price, Wii's fad, and many other biased statements. Well, let me be as neutral as I can- There are 0 wiis in store, and 3 PS3s. dont ask me why i capitalize PS3 and not wii, its just easier. the wiis sell faster, the PS3s sell slowly. the wii makes $100 per sales, and the PS3 loses $200 per sale. the wii highly suceeds with the virtual console, and the PSP sucked at it. not to mention it is original with its motion sensing, instead of stealing it. The only thing that the PS3 has is great graphics, (which are used for DVDs more than games) blueray DVD player, (which has been cancelled) and a "safety" feature to melt your system if you play too long. (which obviously sucks and was made up to cover up for an error in the PS3) But the Wii had its fatal error as well, and hasnt sold in 4 months. lucky for me i got mine sooner. at least it happened when the wii was selling more by each month, so the wait gets longer, while the PS3 stayed behind.

Oh, and for you people saying that the PS3 hasnt failed and will have a comeback, I say this: how? A new model? If they make a new model, it wont be a PS3. It will be a PS3 and a half, are whatever you may call it. just like when they made a new model for the PS2, although it wasnt to save their company. so unless the PS3s stop melting and get better attributes than just graphics, the PS3 is did. no, scratch that, the ps3 is dead. no more capitilization for that failure.

And before you flame me, I am no fanboy. Although I have nearly every Nintendo system and only an old ps1, it is only because i live in a goody-two-shoes family who wont let me own "graphic" game systems. But I do enjoy playing the xbox and ps2. after all, who doesnt love playing kingdom hearts or halo? (besides fanboys, of course) Its just that the facts lead to the ps3s failure, and maybe sony will realize they need to focus less on graphics and more on gaming. after all, they are making a video game system, not a DVD player. At least microsoft didnt go making their xbox an all-computer system. Their worst mistake was making you pay to play online. (asides from that executives remark, thats political, not gaming) The way I see it, there are 5 solutions:

1. The PS3 will make a comeback, or make a new model.
2. The PS3 will fail, and never make a game again.
3. The PS3 will fail, and start over like Sega did.
4. The PS3 will miraculously somehow succeed.
5. Sony will team up with another gaming company.

Sorry for capitilizing ps3 again, wont happen. since typing this long debate is boring me. adious, all!


P.S. I am posting this at 5:25, but the last post was today at 5:39. :em-32:


P.S.S. The P.S. does not stand for playstation. :-P

I enjoy the part where you say yu'll try to be as unbiased as possible and then go on a PS3 rant. Such as the very common, "They stole motion-sensing." As I have pointed out several times in the past, Microsoft was the first to come out with a controller with motion sensing. I believe it was 99' or 2000 when they did. Long before the Wii and PS3. I'm actually surprised you didn't go along with the very cliche, "PS3 is a computer" argument as well.

Yes the Wii is doing better. And I expect it to continue that way. And I expect it to stay strong and continue to pick up producers, and maybe even one who will attempt realistic graphics on the Wii and bless us all with an absolutely beautiful game to flail our arms to.

The PS3 may pick up steam in the long run. As I have been saying in these last few posts. Its possible that Microsoft and Nintendo can do some big things right now and blank out the PS3 from the market's memory. However, PS3 still has exclusives. And they look incredible. On top of that, people are studying the PS3's hardware in class.

The Wii and Xbox 360 are not getting this kind of attention. While I don't think the PS3 will live up to the PS2's legacy, it appears that will Sony's reputation for having ample quality games for its consoles and the potential in the PS3 that the PS3 may eventually gain in sales later. Maybe in 1 to 2, maybe even 3 years. No matter what, it will take time. And Sony has stated its a 10 year console so the company sounds prepared for the long haul. Plus it helps that the best selling console as of right now is the PS2, even with all these next-gen consoles.
