How long did it take the Wii to catch the 360? It seems like it didn't take it anywhere near three years.
With dramatically better exclusives on PS3 than 360 the PS3 could start to overtake the 360 much quicker than you speculate. Especially if there aren't any significant games or only a few Rare games being placed on the 360 at the same time the PS3 is making up the majority of those sales.

But it's about PS3, not Wii.
When PS3 starts selling like Wii at its best, then you might have a point.
|
It might not be selling as rapidly as Wii at that point in time but when you have God of War III, new games from Insomniac, and other PS3 studios, Trico, Final Fantasy XIII, Versus XIIII, (especially if they get exclusive Kingdom Hearts 3), Kojima's next projects, and the other exclusives I've mentioned here, plus almost the same games that the 360 gets from Western developers while games like Gears 3, Fable 3 etc, are headed to 720, then PS3 would be selling well enough in that range.

You're right. Because Lair, Heavenly Sword, Uncharted, GTAIV, MGS4, Resistence 2, LittleBigPlanet and Killzone 2 all pushed the PS3 to stratospheric sales.
Oh wait....

Ok, you two snakes can keep going back and forth, but mentioning those games as a talking point against the PS3 really boils my skin. What games do you think make the Wii sell so well? Mario? Zelda? Metroid? Pikmin? Super Smash? Other staple 1st party game? I've said it before and I'll say it again: If those games were so great, why were the GCN and N64 in dead last in their respective generations? Those games' Wii iterations can't possibly be the selling point, so it has to be other games and the lure of the Wiimote that makes it sell. Wii Fit, Wii Sports, Wii Music, stuff like that are making it sell....but if you're going to talk up the Wii because of those games, and talk down about the PS3 because of the above mentioned games, you need a reality check
|
Then why are the Wii iterations selling better then the GC versions and even SMG is the highest rated game this gen :P
And yes usually it is some mass appeal catch to reel people in, usually in marketing, Nintendo has just done it better this generation and Wii is the IT item like Playstation was the past 2 gens.
|
I'm sure selling about million more than the previous versions has something to do with the userbase being significantly higher. And no, SMG is not, GTA4 is...but even still. I'm pretty sure alot of those outlets gave out 100s to both games because they were afraid to do otherwise.
But hey, if it's the marketing that's making the Wii sell so well, I'll concede. But don't ever bring up the games discussion when talking about Wii vs. PS3
