Maybe they looked at the PS2, plus anticipated price drops for PS3 making it a much better value at a low price than either of the other consoles, plus the longer-term viability of HD as opposed to SD putting a sort of upper cap on the Wii [1]. Plus research use of networked PS3 clusters for supercomputer purposes. ;)[2] The Wii could sell more than they indicate if it becomes truly household after Wii Fit. Nintendo will have to increase production by a lot though[3], and the bulk of sales will have to happen relatively soon (within the years indicated on that chart.)[4] |
1. Perhaps it's just me but the Wii graphics already look outdated compared to PS3 and it appears to not make any difference whatsoever. What exactly is going to change that sitauation?
2. First, off, that's a very small market compared to the home console market. Second, I'm 100% positive that any major supercomputer development that utilizes IBM's CELL processors will not be off the shelf PS3's. Also, I highly doubt that the idea that PS3's can be used by consumers for scientific distributed networking will actually be a continuing sales point.
3. I do believe they will be increasing production to 2.4 million per month by July meaking it the most produced console per month in the history of video games.
4. Uh, why?
