This is just one of those discussions PS3 or 360 fans try to think up to justify why their system is being steam rolled by the Wii. You could argue the Wii isn't competeing with the Ps3 and 360 because of Graphics, but then you'd have to go back and say that for every generation there has been an outlier. Saying the Wii isn't competing with the Ps3 and 360 is no different than saying the Ps2 wasn't competing with the GC adn Xbox, it just a justification after the fact because the Wii isn't using the same PC-wannabe strategies the PS3 and 360 are. The Wii is fighting for the same franchizes and the same games so it is competing, rather directly might I add. It's also going to win. I'm sorry, like it or hate it, the Wii is going to win, companies will make graphically inferior games if they had to, they did all last generation for the runt of the litter, the PS2, now they're going to do it for the Wii. The PS3 is losing all its exclusives to the 360 via crossplatform support and even the 360's best games can't cling to the interest of gamers for more than a week after they come out. The Wii is slow in building its stamina but make no mistake, it virtually unstoppable.
Though I suppose you could say the Wii isn't competing with the 360 and PS3 because the 360 and Ps3 aren't game consoles, they're pseudo-PCs, the Wii is by definition the only thing I think anyone could consider a true "Video Game Console" this generation.
Also, the luxury Car analogy only works for the car industry, you know why? Because that company's entire automotive business isn't riding solely on the success of that one model of luxury car. Also Sony has stated repeatedly that their ambitions for the PS3 aren't what one would equate to the limited and excluse success of a Luxury car that sells to the vast minority. Also, you buy a luxury car for the car, you don't buy a PS3 for the PS3, you buy it for the games (unless you're an icon fag who likes to show off their "bling"). Analogies only work based on relevancy, not loose non-contextual similarities in sales ratios.
