You could say a Ford Focus competes with a BMW M5 or Corvette Z06 and technically it's true because they're all cars afterall but this is more of a comparison between the two high-end consoles who owners or potential owners want the entire package (gameplay *and* HD graphics). So just like if we were having a comparison between sports cars it wouldn't make sense to include a Ford Focus in the mix. |
The car analogy doesn't work well with game consoles in general and works awful for the holiday season ... Remember, cars are rarely purchased as gifts
This holiday season when parents buy a console as a gift for the family or for a particular family member they're likely only going to buy 1 console; on top of that, gamers are likely to receive 1 or 2 games at Christmas but are unlikely to get more than that. Even people who are buying games for themself are not likely to buy all that many games being that they're expecting some as presents, they have massive expenses with all of the people they have to buy for, and they have limited time with all the shopping and parties they have.
What this means is that (in most cases) the purchase of a Wii takes away a potential purchase of a PS3 or XBox 360, and the purchase of Mario Galaxy or Super Smash Brothers takes away potential purchases of Halo.
