Goooo PS3 Gooooooo!!!! At least we know now for 1000000000% sure that Wii will never reach the market share that PS2 did.


Of course it will never reach that market share, did you expect the Wii to sell 3-4 times its actual numbers? It has nothing to do with how the Wii is selling and everything to do with how the 360 and PS3 are selling, PS2 didn't have real competition, Wii has.

Not that it matters since the Wii is tracking well above the PS2.

when you say PS2 didn't have real competition...what exactly do you mean?

It launched 1 - 1.5 years earlier than a console from an entirely new to console gaming company, and a Nintendo that had already lost a lot of 3rd party support due to a number of factors later in SNES life and N64. It was the successor to the console that brought gaming away from the hardcore and gave it to the masses, it was a cheap DVD player, it was expected to do well right from the beginning, and thus recieved all the 3rd party support it could right from the beginning.

The PS1 was the console that did all the work... I find it's sales (against a still strong Nintendo... albeit an irresponsible Sega as well) far far more impressive than the PS2.
