So what? Technology won't help them.

The Wii is already behind the times and yet it still kicked their butts


I think a much better take on this would be that the PS3 doesn't need to be the most powerful console 5 years from now as is currently the case for the PS3 to continue to sell. Further increases of HDTV penetration should help the PS3.

Based upon which merits?

  • Won't have the commanding lead of the Wii/PS2/PS1/SNES/NES
  • HD TV penetration? Its probably over 50% in the U.S. if it was 46% a couple of months ago, and I doubt the late adopters are PS3s future userbase.
  • Doesn't have the compelling unique selling proposition of the Wii, and whatevers unique for the PS3 will be done better on next generation consoles such as full HD, more mature motion controls and more efficient/cheaper technology.


Do you know what its like to live on the far side of Uranus?
