i don't think so Wii is dominating XB360 and Ps3

 

      Yeah, but what is happening in the present has very little bearing upon the future.  What if Sony announced tomorrow that they were bringing out PS Sports and it was going to use the space available on the blu-ray to have 100 more times the number of Sports games that you can play in Wii Sports and they were going to use the graphics capabilities of the PS3 to have lifelike models of some of the most famous fitness and sports figures teach you how to do things and that the characters would be much better looking and that they were bringing out their own even more refined motion control remote to go with it?  That it was going to be the Gran Turismo of motion control sports titles?  It might blow Wii Sports out of the water?  Or what if like Coleco did to the Atari 2600, they came out with a device that let you play Wii games on the PS3? 

 

I think you missed the part where the average consumer doesn't care about graphics, or else PS3 would already be where Wii is now. Besides no-one cares about 100 Sports games. They just want to Bowl and get Fit. PS3 will never get the exposure Wii has on this front. People play Wii at someone's place and after that they want a Wii themselves. That's how it goes. Not even "100 sports games in glorious HD" would change anything about that.

I don't know how it is going to be selling in such low numbers with such huge exclusives as God of War III, Hideo Kojima's Policenauts 2, Dare I say it Shenmue 3, Metal Gear 5, Trico, Final Fantasy XIII exclusive to Japan and the blu-ray version being by far the best one in the rest of the world, FF Versus XIII, and still possibly FFVII Blu-Ray and Kingdom Hearts III, a number of new games from Naughty Dog including new Jak and Daxter:  The Lost Territory and Uncharted 2 and 3 , Insomniac with Resistance 3 and probably two more Ratchet games, and Sucker Punch InFamous I-III and new Sly Cooper, Heavy Rain being the rebirth of cinematic gaming, and Gran Turismo 5 all on the way.

You're so desperate that you invent half the titles in your list out of nowhere? Why not add FFVII remake while you're at it.

Also explain why BluRay would make FFXIII better? And no: no disc swaps doesn't make the game actually better. It does make it more convenient. Besides Resistance, Ratchet, Uncharted, etc already are on PS3 and didn't skyrocket its sales, did it?

The "rebirth of cinematic gaming" (pathetic) will bomb like hell, I'll tell you that about the "rebirth of cinematic gaming".

 

      It's not that the average consumer doesn't care about graphics.  It is the fact that the average person that has inflated the Wii's sales to the point where they are right now all the seniors, etc, the new demographic that Wii fans are always saying the Wii has brought to gaming don't know that much about games, and they think the Wii is just as technologically as capable as the PS3 simply because it is supposed to be a "next gen" game console.  Of course when they really start look to take a harder look at games, they will realize that the PS3 is a much more capable console and begin to buy it in earnest.

 

     BluRay will make Final Fantasy XIII better because the cinematics and the music which are a pivotal feature of FF games are going to be compressed into lower quality sizes on the 360.  It will basically be the difference between the dvd version of The Dark Knight and the Bluray version of The Dark Knight.

 

    Yeah right, Heavy Rain will be one of the biggest selling games in 2009.
