"PS3 Domination" the coined phrase

Nintendo dominating with wii over x360/ps3 in term of hardware sales, but in near future, wii many owners(not those who bought wii like a toy for wii sport and wii play) still will go for x360/ps3 for HD experience.

Hardcore gamers will have x360 and buy ps3.
But not every owner/gamer of x360 or ps3 will go buy ps3 or x360.

Wii in reality just on another boat(it`s not a nextgen in terms of HD). The real competition is between x360 and ps3.

But yeah, for TOTAL domination, PS3 should also outsell and Wii, but that kinda impossible, PRICE difference + auditory difference, Unless Wii will run out of steam, or Sony will move more on Eye Toy HD, Singstar and other "games", which are about FUN and nothing more, then and here ps3 could make some progress.

2008 will show how thing will go on. If PS3 will reach ~25-30 mln. shipments by the end of march 2009, then it ATLEAST reached the level of PS2 SUCCESS. =)

I don`t know many people who wouldn`t buy wii for 99-149$ and even less people who wouldn`t buy PS3 80GB for 199-249$. =) Time will show.

 For one, the term "hardcore" in describing a gamer has really been misused. "Hardcore" gamers the way you define care about graphics and power, but I see it the total opposite. A hardcore gamer should be the gamer that doesnt care about graphics at all, they care about how good the game is, whether it is "kiddy" or a "hardcore" bloody game. It shouldnt matter. What you described, is a superficial gamer. A gamer who cares about how pretty the game looks and doesnt look deeper. That is why "hardcore" superficial gamers are the minority, because they care about things that dont matter. I  am a gamer, and would prefer SNES games to todays, so am I a casual because I dont care about graphics or POWER. No, im a real hardcore gamer.

 

Secondly, saying that the Wii isnt competing with PS3 and 360 is just making an excuse for the Wii to be not winning the race, and the other two are. Its stupid. Its one industry, they all compete agaisnt each other no matter how hard you try to look past it. Its like saying that Toyota isnt competing with Cadillac because they cater to different people. No, its the same industry and they do compete. If one person buys a Wii instead of a 360/PS3, they are affecting the industry. So dont use that lame excuse just to make it seem that the Wii isnt having success compared to the other two.
