THis is an interesting topic that came up in another thread

if PSWii were the MOTION TWINS.....then would Xbox 360 in fact be IN THE LEAD

as PS360 still = > 50% of the console's sold

so PSWii may actually have that 48 Million WIi figure DIVIDED between them.....while the xbox 360 could've got all of the PS3's extra sales

so would xbox 360 benefit by being the ONLY high-end console & have won.....quite ironically?

 

@ underlined - that's not how it works. My prediction is the 360 would be on a lower market share than it is currently.

 

At the start of the gen, all devs supported Sony first and foremost. If they have the option of an easy port to the Wii, because it is similar to the PS3, then they would do it.

 

So with a cheaper price tag, better controls and Presumably games for everyone, the PS3 would do better

With better 3rd party support, the Wii would do better

With less 3rd party support, and all their games being ports of PS3 games and thus don't take advantage of the graphics, the 360 would have lower sales

 

Edit: Showertea reminded me of something. It's not waggle that is selling the Wii, it's not even the cheap launch price really. As in every other gen, it is games that sell the console, not the console that sells itself.
