Just a thought..but does it seem like Sony tried to rely on the Ps2's success in order to sell the Ps3? Where the ps2 sold so many units, do you think they might have expected the ps3 to sell more?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Just a theory.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Of course they relied on Ps2's success, hence they played too the fans. They did it with Ps2 as well, relyng on Ps1 fans to buy the system and spread the word. But Ps2 was cheap, now that its 600+ dollars only a fan would buy it.

The Wii is an awesome console. It appeals to pretty much every age group. They are selling to th elderly because it keeps them about as active. It sells to younger audiences because of all the kid-friendly games from Nintendo. Then theres everything else for inbetween. Oh, and it costs about half of a 360, and I think around a third of the ps3. Comparable prices to the ps2. Wii I think is the next generation system, based mainly on it's intereactivity and affordability. Ps3 just didn't fly because it's really just a ps2 with enhanced graphics and blu-ray. Xbox 360 is doing quite well because of just how much online features it supports. You will probably use the 360 a bit more than the Wii or Ps3 because the 360 is a relatively good base for a home theatre, which is supported by the ability to transfer media between your computer and the 360. I am really quite suprised they don't introduce a computer with a built in 360. Now to Ps2. I have to admit it is an awesome console. It has hundreds of great games, good graphics and the games have a huge variety. Then with the smaller version you can use it for travelling.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

All-in-all, Ps2 ruled it's generation and it looks like it's Nintendo's turn. Anyways, I'm a sucker for Mario, Zaelda and the N64.

I was thinking, and the only reason the Wii sells so well is because of the novelty. I know I bought the Wii for the novelty part, but after the first week it turns from novelty to annoyance really.

That's a HUGE reason its selling, the Wii is just the "in" thing. Probably 2/3 the sales were to non-gamers. A lot of Nintendo hardcore fans were getting annoyed that they were not getting enough attention with GOOD games, and not INNOVATIVE games. The innovation gets tiring after a while anyway.

 

 

 

But Nintendo made up for that in e3. Metroid Prime 3, SSB-Brawl, what else can you ask for?

Wow that is alot. If Sony doesn't get their head together with the Ps3 though the 360 will just own these results.

 

 

 

LMAO! dude you need to get your head together. PS3 is selling at a steady rate right along side the 360. I know PS3 hasnt sold as many, but they are selling at the same rate. If you remember the 360 came out BEFORE the ps3 obviously meaning they sold more so far. PS3 is selling at the same rate or higher than the 360.

Hold on there. That sounds like sony.

 

 

 

I remember they were the first to call Wii a novelty, despite the PS3 getting the crap kicked out it by the Wii and 360. Then people started calling it novelty, which is damn annoying! Lol, just kidding. But they did say that, then I remember some graphics obsessed idiots at my school making fun of it... :-s
