Consider 360 sales in its first year of release before the Wii was out, and sales in the years since the Wii was released. It's basically the same. In the long term the Wii will help 360/PS3 sales. The Wii is not intimidating and easy to get into, but as soon as any of these 'new' gamers want to start playing 'serious' games, they need a 360/PS3 (or PC) to do so. If it wasn't for the Wii many of them probably never would have got into gaming, so for this reason M$ and $ony should thank Nintendo. As far as 360/PS3 goes I think PS3 weekly sales will leapfrog 360 sales sometime this year (PS3 price drop will determine the magnitude) and the gap will widen continuously after that. It's quite obvious if you consider that the cheapest 360 is half the price of a PS3 at the moment yet their only selling 5% or so (worldwide weekly sales) more 360's than PS3's. Also the ridiculous failure rate due to M$'s unethical 360 product strategy has driven many consumers away and will continue to do so. |

I mean seriously. You do realize the PS3 and Wii came out at like... the same time.
