| daactualfact said: mummelman, you're so caught up tech specs! why does that matter? i want to know. according to you, the wii will sell less than the 360 and ps3! plz! that's a big impossiblilty! the wii will sell more than the other consoles. everyone who wants one can't get one. (when the ps2 arrived, everyone who wanted one could get one, because they were all available!!) duh! i also think you are biased against the wii! (i didn't say you were. i said i think.) your sig says it all!! you're worse than leoj! |
Never once in my post did I state that the Wii will sell less than PS3, 360. In fact, I think it'll sell more. What I'm trying to argue is that the insane predictions hold no merit when the productin mention is targeted at a public who have been known to change opinions and buying habits at whim and practically over night.
As things stand right now, the Wii is likely to sell the most of the three, but there is no evidence that it'll reach over half a billion sales! That's what I've been trying (in vain) to say for over 6 months.
As for the tech specs; like I said, the difference between the Wii and PS3/360 is vast compared to any difference in previous gens, so it's already looking a bit dated in comparison. If no one cares how games look, then fine. But many do, just like most people see and appreciate the difference between VHS and DVD. PS3 and 360 appeal to those who set up their console with surround and an HDTV (the fastest growing media accessories globally) while the Wii appeals to the same peopel who get easily riled up and easily tire of things (i.e; casuals).
That's my take on things, you don't have to agree. Btw: I'm not biased against the Wii as a product (I might even get one next year), but I AM biased against assumptions with no base in reality. We shoudl all be!
