PS3 on the rise. Doomsayers eat crow.

Holy shit Paul Warren gets cranky when he climbs out from under the bridge.


You think people care about Metacritic's score for Wii Sports? Wii Sports doesn't come with the Wii. You buy Wii Sports, and it comes with a Wii for free. The game sells the system. Look at the attach rate in Japan; it's higher than even Wii Play, which comes with a free controller.

You can go by review scores all you want, but that just puts you in the camp that thinks the best game of all time was GTA4 (for a few weeks), and that Chrono Cross is better than Chrono Trigger, and every other ass-backwards things review scores would have you believe. Luckily the vast majority of gamers don't look at Metacritic at all.

Do you honestly believe that Ocarina of Time is the greatest game ever made? Better than Tetris or Street Fighter 2 or Super Mario Bros. 3 or Mario 64 or Doom 2? EVERYTHING?



Or are you arguing that the PS2 won because it flooded the market with cheap crap? 'Cuz the Wii can play at that game too, and it's winning. It's actually a small price you pay for expanding the market and having a casual-centric strategy, which both consoles did.
