Insomniac's Brian Hastings speaks out on the PS3

[vanguardian1]

As I said in another post, unless Nintendo "short-shipped" consoles this month in NA and Europe, with the PS3 at exactly 600k sales in Europe (which are being doubted by many people), the chances of seeing PS3 outselling Wii worldwide for the month aren't that good, and what happens to the sales lull the PS3 will see in Europe, if NA and Japan are any indication? And what happens when the Wii shipments start increasing? From what we hear all over, I don't expect Wii demand to be less than supply overall in North America or Europe until practically June, AT THE EARLIEST. And guess what games come out for Wii in June in North America? :) If Japan keeps up, which I don't see demand slacking at all this year, then the HD console era over there won't be nice. And that wouldn't paint a very pretty picture for the PS3 in it's home territory, would it? If this keeps up, by the time Final Fantasy XIII comes out in Japan (end of the year at earliest, I think), the Wii might have an install base advantage of almost 2, maybe even 3 million, it's already well over a million with a few short ended shipments included as we speak.
