Well, my best world is "full motion sensing" without "actual real next gen graphics", plus $350 in my wallet to spend in games - yes, "kiddy" games, thank you very much.

But that's just mii (for 6.66 million different values of mii, that is), and... wii mustn't really be gamers at all.

The Novelty has already worn off, its just that I prefer the Wii controls to the older gampads, and that's where his argument fails, Wii controls are just better in most cases (that's not to say gamepads are going away, but there should be choice)

 You think people will spend $599?  Keep Dreaming

Well the "novelty" hasnt worn off on the ds has it?

And as for graphics, i hate all this bollocks spouted by the marketting men and sucked up by the fankids. Games dont need to be hi-def, most people dont even have a hi-def tv to take advantage of it. I personally think the biggest problem of the games industry is that games rely on technology to innovate when they shoud be innovating in other ways (i.e. gameplay).

Does having prettier pixels REALLY make a game better? REALLY think about it.  The post above states that the ps3 has "real next gen" graphics.  That to me is also bullcrap.  Lets just say microsoft went out all sticks and released a new xbox next year, which was made from the most expensive pc parts money could buy.  It'll be 100 times more powerful than the ps3, and cost $5000 - which of course no-one is going to pay.  Does that however make the ps3 "last gen" because it doesnt have the graphics to cope?  Hmmmmm?

But on the other hand, i'd also argue that mario galaxy looks better graphically than a hell of a lot of 360 games (and certainly more fun).

I wasn't talking about the PS3 ...

There has never been an add-on that has sold particularly well for any videogame system; they end up being niche products that are very poorly supported. You can not make a Wiimote add-on for the PS3 and expect it to sell more than a few hundred thousand units worldwide, and with expectations of such a small userbase no developer will support it.

 Yeah, and the sales are slowing, those 3 million are what is called early adopters, the mass market won't pay that much

Check out the hardware sales comparison between the GameCube and PS3 in Japan to really understand Avinash's point.  PS3 sales are trailing off just as quickly and badly as the GCN's but it didn't have as big a launch.  The PS3 is now well behind the GameCubes low sales pace in Japan.  An even worse comparison, if you can bare to look, is PS2 vs. PS3 sales. Then you may begin to realize how much smaller the market willing to pay $600 for a box to play video games is.

Some sales analyst have just recently predicted that the PS3 will sell about 75 million units worldwide within a 6 year time frame. But they can't see the future. Neither can me or you.
