Forums - Sales Discussion - For people who ONLY own a Wii, what price break on PS3 is needed to buy?

For those who own a xbox360, it's assumed that you don't need another HD gaming system.

If you only own a Wii and want to move up to a HD gaming system, is a $50 price break enough to get a PS3?

How about $100?

Or just buy a separate blu-ray disc player?

I think quite a few people would be annoyed by your statement that buying an HD console is "moving up".

And why specifically Wii owners? Nobody is allowed to own dual HD? If I got another 7th gen console, it wouldn't be the Wii...

Do not want.



 

Not interested in HD gaming just interested in innovative products

Bill Gates had Mac prototypes to work from, and he was known to be obsessed with trying to make Windows as good as SAND (Steve's Amazing New Device), as a Microsoft exec named it. It was the Mac that Microsoft took for its blueprint on how to make a GUI.

I'm probabaly getting a PS3 next month. I'd get it a lot earlier if it was 300€ though. I don't have any plans and don't really want a xbox 360. Most, if not all games, I want are also available on PC.

Oh and, I already have a PSP.

since i'm no longer only wii owner i will tell this:
if i would still be wii only and would consider buying ps3 i would do it when i wouldn't have anything to play on wii or i would finish most of the games i wanted to play. then a 200$ ps3 for exclusive games and few multiplat titles would be nice.

if i would be only 360 owner i don't see the point in buying ps3 since 360 have similar library of games to ps3 and have wider selection of them.

as a wii, 360, psp and ps2 owner i don't see the point in buying ps3 since i have a problem in keeping up with rest of the consoles. though when ps3 will hit 100$ mark and ps4 will be released i might get it for cheap exclusive games.

I think it's because the CEO of SONY said Wii owners would eventually buy PS3s



I have no interest in a PS3. I might get a 360 in a few weeks though.

"move up" to an HD system? No thank you. Wii has all of the games I love. The Wii is by far the greatest system I have ever owned.



Well, i own Wii, GC, N64, PSX, SNES, NES and NDS. But, from this gen home consoles, Wii only.

I think a pricepoint of Sony paying me 50€ would be enough for me to get PS3 at the moment. Edit: And as a side note, if you own a Wii, you don't need a HD gaming system. In that sense, the thinking in the OP was a little flawed.
