When will PS3 lose its momentum?!

Shane said: The Wii does its own thing of not having as many games. Hardly original.

So what happened to the fact that this year more Wii games have been announced than 360 and PS3 combined?

Sims on a console? If they can turn that into a success, which they've been unable to do despite trying for 4 years, I'll be very impressed. This is one of those PC games that needs to stay a PC game.

This was designed from the ground up for the Wii, and isn't stuck with a gamepad, the wiimote makes all the difference in this game, go look at the videos. :)

Guess who always does fantastic in all three regions at launch? The key question is whether this thing's got legs.

Yep, that is the question for the wii. Care to guess at what questions the PS3 and 360 have? ;)

If Nintendo can keep up its current sales for another couple years, it may make sense to do GTA if there's a way (we've heard on more than one occasion how the system's just too underpowered, and the thing just launched).

Suddenly games that could be played on older consoles can't be played on new ones? Blimey! ;)

Of course, that's even assuming that 40% userbase = 40% relevant userbase. But let's be real here. If Nintendo's market share ends up much above 20% longer term, it'll be a surprise. Granted, even if they do see the numbers start to add up like you suggest, do you think they'll also see third party sales add up... or just Nintendo's?

99.999999998% of the current gaming population is pretty much in disbelief as it is to the current sales situation of the Wii. If I remember my numbers correctly, I believe this year alone worldwide the Wii has over 50% of the "new console" market share. :)

Sonic will be multiplatform, but I have some serious reservations about its potential success, though Wii's likely where it has the most chance. DQS I'm thinking Crystal Chronicles as well, but that will probably end up being the most successful game on that list. Beyond that, I'm yawning, or laughing, or both. Nintendo needs to secure some games that don't make people say "Who cares?"

2/3 of the population who bought the PS2 cares.

At some point they will, but I don't see why it would even still be the blockbusters. Spinoffs of blockbusters maybe. I'd suggest their Gamecube exclusives at this time were more impressive, with Resident Evil and Rogue Squadron, and even their own internal efforts were far ahead of the technical demos we're getting now.

Bigger companies can more easily afford to put big titles with big budgets on the big consoles, but that doesn't describe the whole industry now, does it? Here's my summary. Once it passes the 360 worldwide (which I feel is very certain at this point, however probably not totally until after the halo/gta bump) I think the Wii will have the highest install base for many years, if not until the next generation of consoles. The reason is I think will be the only console of the non-gamer, the main console of the casual, and the 2nd console of the hardcore. Far more hardcore gamers will be willing to buy a PS3/Wii or a 360/Wii than they will a PS3/360, those two are going to be sharing far too many games this generation.
