Even if folks are playing playing the Wii and have a PS3, the Wii tends to stay in the closet, and the PS3 is... PD: Yeah, I don't want to steal [CEO] Jack [Tretton]'s quote, but he's fond of saying: "Microsoft owns the office; Sony owns the living room; and Wii owns the closet." And that's an aggressive, probably quotable line. But the point he's trying to make is something that we find backed up in a lot of our research and focus groups: that people who are playing the Wii bring it out when friends come over and then put it back away -- that the console that stays connected to the TV is a different system. I don't know if that's your experience or of guys you talk to or the way you play the system marries that with some of the stuff we hear in our focus groups and in actual research, but we believe the PlayStation 3 is, again -- if you buy the PlayStation 3, you're going to connect it to your TV, you're going to connect it to the internet, and you're going to leave it connected; it's not going to be something you take out from time to time. That's the whole thing... |
Well that's the current state of my Wii. Don't know others.
