Just wanna say RE: film vs digital.... yes technically film has better pixel information, but Kwaad is right about the quality level of something being output from digital, digital will look better 9 times / 10. Why? you are sitting in a room, projecting colour onto a WHITE or SILVER screen... simply put, the black's cannot be black like they can on a digital television, the colours also take a hit because of this... projected images suffer drastically from this. ALSO although Quinten is saying that film has such an extra pixel depth... when you look at a digital projection theatre you have to consider the pixels per inch... So we have 2400 pixels high over a 10m high screen that's 400 inches high so that's 6 pixels an inch. Then you have 1080 pixels high over 32 inches high (roughly) so that's almost 34 pixels an inch. Honestly it's all about DPI and I know what I would rather watch. I also have a 720p projector at home, have had one for the last couple of years, and honestly it isn't everything it's been cracked up to be. Put a bit of light in the room and the picture quality goes out the arse. There is no dispute that film has a higher image quality, but honestly... you can't present it to the full ability of it's quality. Sorry to go off topic but the personal insults against Kwaad made me think that it was worthy of some rebuttal. On topic... I don't agree with these calculations as I believe the logic is flawed... it's just stupid to try and argue that the Wii is more expensive for development is just completely ridiculous. You get people pro both sides of the argument painting both sides of the picture as positively as possible. Saying that PS3 is cheapest because Xbox360 is absorbing all of the cost of development is just completely arse... at the moment though they are bringing most games together on 360 and porting (mostly pretty shonky) over too PS3. I also think that comparing Wii sales directly to PS3 sales is also a flawed logic as they don't DIRECTLY compete for the others users... But as it is the Wii is still selling more copies of games that are technically far inferior to the PS3 versions... I don't know how you can skew that one way or the other... + the exclusive Wii titles have all sold much higher than the other platforms... The best way to work this out would be to look at total 3rd party software sales between both and then see what the difference is... but even then that's a flawed logic because the Wii user group is so broad.
