People buy PS3 because it is the best deal currently avalaible in electronics. They buy it Because Sony has the best games. People buy it because they know that Sony will never let them down. The PS3 is a solid platform, and People like to make a stable purchase. That is why the PS3 sells.
The real question is why does the Wii sell. That system has nothing but wii sports. Sure say zelda or paper mario, and I say see ya on gamecube. Tell me look at how many 4M plus games Nintendo made for the Cube, and I'd say duh Nintendo made most of the games for the Cube and if people wanted to play games and not get another system thats all they had. Now I am not saying that the Cube games Nintendo are bad, but they sure as hell are not as good as a lot of lesser selling games on PS2 and Xbox. And the well PS2 sold 5 times as many systems is skewed to first PS2 had a lot of multiple buys due to bad hardware (which is not a factor with PS3) and it also had like 5 times more games to buy, so each game sold less.
they know sony wont let them down? isnt that basically what sony did, let them down? they made the by far most expensive console, and for what? so games can be so expensive to make for em that it loses all its 3rd party exclusives?
the wii sells because its not just fun for gamers, (that includes hardcore gamers such as myself) but for the whole family. actually a friend of mine whos a sony homeboy actually said the wii is worth paying 250 for just for wii sports. he might be right, but he didnt exclude the other games. zelda is much more fun for the wii. red steal, might not have been the best rated game, but it gives an expirience that no other console has. that is slashing with your sword and aiming realistically with your gun. warioware, it is fun for everyone, and the stuff it does is only possible on the wii. excite truck, alot of fun and steering with the wiimote is a new expirience. all the platformers nintendo has makes any nintendo product worth it. zelda, metroid prime, mario games, SUPER SMASH BROTHERS, BABY! who doesnt like that game? seriously. wii sports, wii play, both great reasons, not to mention other sequels to that simple game, (i think its called wii fitness). playing sports games like madden is amazing, simply amazing. i think most hard core madden players will agree, made on the wii is simply AMAZING. it got a higher review than all other 07s for the other consoles and handhelds.
another thing, some of the big games you sony fans like to think of might not be so exclusive. a GTA port to the wii is still a very much alive idea. KH comming out for the ps3 AND Wii is a big thing on the table right now. it very well may happen. guitar hero is possibly comming out for the wii (most likly, although nothing official), dance dance revolution is comming out (or has it already come out?) and can be revolutionized with the wii mote worked in. (anyone whoes played the final boss in warioware knows what im talking about)
did i miss anything?
A delayed game is good someday, a bad game is bad forever.
