I know, if anything Ive always been a believer in "the most powerful system wont necessarily come out first". But for some reason, it just seems like this time around, the Wii will lose alot of its appeal over time. As time passes, and as more and more gamers become multiplatform owners, the majority of the big blockbuster titles will be on the PS360 platforms. I just feel that the more powerful hardware is more appealing in this generations long haul. What about this, alot of debate has gone on about the 360/PS3 battle in 08. That the PS3 will finally have a year of games worthy of its name and that the 360 will likely lose some ground to this impending lineup. Well, it seems that the Wii hasnt been factored into this equation too much, having been already relegated to "it won" status. But doesnt it have the most to lose, especially in Japan? Good discussion though. |
true, the media has been focused on the 360/ps3 battle, and that one may actually be more important since they are battling for the exact same space. Wii on the other hand is more of a primary/secondary console. What I mean by that is I really only see this type of home ownership. wii only, 360/wii, ps3/wii, with a much smaller number of people who have the 360 or ps3 alone or these two together. This has to do with them have much the same library and very high prices.
This in the end will only help the Wii. As it will be the sidekick to everyone and thus win overall with the most sales. Plus, there are a whole lot more casual gamers than 'hardcore'. Lastly, I just don't see the motion gaming idea going away. I think it will be on all next gen consoles in some form, if not nearly exact copies of Wii's style.
