This is so stupid. This double generation console is really silly. Not that I think it's a bad idea in concept and one day removing the console iterations will be awesome, but in the mean time its just bad.
Ok so let's say by end of it's run Wii only sells 100mil. Yes I know it's on track to beat the PS2, but they are hyptheical numbers for an example. The PS3 at the end of the Wii's life sells roughly 50mil. Wii2 is launched. The PS3 is indeed ahead of the Wii2. However by the time the Wii2 ends it's run it's also made 100mil and the PS3 has made 100mil. Sounds great doesn't it. That the PS3 tied Wii2, but in perspective of costs, profits, developers hype and support. The Wii line would have had 200million over the same period of the PS3.
It's just going to work with Nintendo aiming for profitability on it's consoles. Anyways the other option is Sony is trying to just wait and copy the experience. To that I say this. PS1 and PS2 weren't ripping off experiences they were about making a target experience. This copy mentality has been hurting them. They should just revamp the PS3 as a PS4 and get it out sooner than later. Sell it for cheap too.
Squilliam: On Vgcharts its a commonly accepted practice to twist the bounds of plausibility in order to support your argument or agenda so I think its pretty cool that this gives me the precedent to say whatever I damn well please.
