staticneuron said: Wow drago you seem to be on edge with this. I think Home & Little Big Planet will sell systems. Free online is a plus for anyone who wants to play with people online.... period.

I certainly agree with the first sentence but not the other two. Home is a $600 system seller? Seriously, wannabe Mii-Sims is worth $600? Little Big Planet is interesting, something that could move a $250 system (where you at on this one Nintendo?) but I'd be shocked if many people buy a PS3 for LBP.

staticneuron said: As far as the Wii fad... it is an opinion a share but it stays as that... an opinion.

It's not a matter of opinion so long as the Wii continues to smack the 360 and PS3 around. From the sales figures the only thing that looks like a fading fad at the moment is the PS3. Should the Wii's sales start to slip badly, like as the PS3's have, then it can be reasonably said to be a fad. Until then only the notion that the Wii is a fad is an opinion, the notion that it's mopping the floor with its competition is truth.

I remember when Nintendo was saying wait for the big 4, Mario, Metroid, Zelda, and Mario Kart. They came and went selling almost 20 million games between them and the Gamecube was where it was to begin with. If Sony is expecting Cellius to save them it sounds to me like it's time to sound the alarm at Sony. So after losing almost every one of the first batch of exclusives and having dismal sales now is when 3rd party developers are going to jump onto the badly listing PS3? I suppose stranger things have happened.
