Whatever, Bodhesatva.

Until those companies release high-profile games on the Wii I'm not impressed. The Wii is currently undergoing a major drought in games.


whatever? now you're just digging a fanboy trench. How can you expect the companies that have JUST stated they are shifting resources to the Wii to just magically pump out games in an instant? 2008. And guess what, what kind of games the PS3 has received during this time? Ports from the 360. Even NGS. if you type in Wii games and compare that to PS3 games in Wikipedia, you would realize that there is a shift. you might dismiss all of them as being crappy games but that's pretty much how the original PS crush the N64.


We'll see.

His other argument was that those other consoles did not survive and that's indicated by poor sales. Clearly, the PS3 is selling better.

Ico Team game is 360 port? Katamari creator's new game is a 360 port? Burnout is a port to 360.

You can make broad statements if you want, but the examples are there. I'd like to point out, however, the if the PS3 is getting a lot of the same games that 360 gets and more, then that is good for combating the Wii.

Edit: Also, it seems you are telling me to wait for games, and yet that's what people keep saying for the PS3. There are already more quality games to play on the PS3 and a lot of great games are coming out soon.

 

Team Ico game, Katamari creator game, Burnout? I said the games that have been released now. I tried to do a quick search the Team Ico game is an unknown project. What is the PS3 getting now? Rainbow Six Vegas, Dirt and other stuff that is being outsold by its 360 counterpart. You can always find a couple of games which you can say see-the PS3 is not just getting ports from the 360 but right now, in its first year of launch, along with the Wii, is pretty much what its going to get. The problem for the PS3 right now is that it is being outsold by the Wii. Yes, I'm well aware that the PS3 is selling better than the 3DO, but so did the N64 and the Gamecube and while those consoles survive, Nintendo lost dominance and developers shifted to the Playstation. This generation, we will see developers shifting resources from the Playstation to the Wii. That's pretty much Bodhesatva's point but I don't want to speak for him. He could be saying the PS3 will die off and I misunderstood him.

 


If the ports are great who cares?  Rainbow 6 and Oblivion are great.  Ninja Gaiden Sigma isn't a straight port, either, it's a complete makeover with a new character and levels.

The games I mentioned, and nearly every big third-party announcement at E3, favor the PS3 over the Wii.

That's a solid lineup right now and 4 of those are only on PS3 (including NGS, which again, is not a straight port).  Oblivion loads twice as fast as well, but whatever.  VF5 will be on 360 soon.

Anyway, we'll see what the true effect of the price-cut was next month (when we see this month's numbers).  Until then, we are all guessing as usual.  The game lineup for PS3 is spectacular this year and should only get better next year, though, so I'm not sure where the drop in momentum is going to occur.
