History is really important in this market. If you can create a new audience and sustain them, you will win. The arcade did it, Atari brought 'em home, Nintendo did it, Sony did it, and Nintendo did it again.

Sony is bleeding money as a direct result of launching a console that costs too much for the average consumer. History predicted that would happen too. $500 game systems have never made money before.

I take it you think that after some price cuts the PS3 will pick up steam and last longer than the Wii or at least longer than the 360?

Aside from the Wii..Im happy that the Gen war will be decided by Software.....and again...I don't see 3rd party "Next gen" games being ported to older Gen system when the 360 and PS3 are the older Gen (Ok maybe capcom will..But then Again stuff Like DEAD RISING Chop till you drop was a swing at money)

The Wii sells due to software as well.  People just like to ignore that because the new software that's creating and sustaining and expanding the new market is Wii Sports, Wii Fit, and Mario Kart Wii.  People aren't buying Wiis to use them as coasters.

Yes I understand that the Wii sells becuase of it's sofware but that why I wanted to put the Wii aside...Most of the Wii Software is only on the Wii and/or developed for the Wii only...Not due to Hardware limitations or anything like that...it's just a different selling point..While some games do share mutal releases across all three current gen platforms..The Wii's software lineup is still mostly dedicated to what nintendo has Outlined......Next gen 3rd party games are more commonly consired stuff Assassins Creed and COD4, madden 10..While the Ps3 and 360 share the same versions..The Wii get's their version of Madden and a few other stuff..
