Most analysts estimate that HDTV adoption will break the 50% barrier in North America in late 2009 or early 2010, and the majority of gamers buy a videogame system for less than $200, so for the next 24 months (or so) the Wii has essentially no competition for the majority of gamers. In this time it will build a commanding lead, leverage this lead to gain a ton of third party support, and effectively 'cock-block' any comeback attempts from Sony. In 2011 Nintendo will use inexpensive technology (for the time) to produce a console which is noticeably more powerful than the PS3, incorporates a (then inexpensive) HD-Disc format, and enhances the user interface they designed for the Wii to produce an inexpensive console for the masses (who were now adopting to HD at a rapid rate). |
Would that even matter. I mean the PS3 has sold pretty unremarkable in Japan for what it is... and their HD adoption rate is way higher then the US
