The most powerful systems are never the sales leader

The Neo Geo was not even available i most countries...And sold less like a million? 

So what I get with this thread is that the Wii would not have been the sales leader if it was more powerfull than PS3/X360?

 

If the Wii was as expensive as the PS3 launch price (due to trying to compete GPU wise) then the 360 probably would be in first right now.  Motion controls, lower launch price, game library (mainly Wii Sports in beginning helped move systems), decent media coverage, and a few other things led to where things are now.  Nintendo would not be on top if they came out with an expensive system even with motion controls.  Thus they went for a new experience rather than trying to compete GPU wise.  This allowed them to have a "low compared to others" launch price of $250.

So price is the issue not the graphics;..And that is what hurted the Neo Geo's sales, and that is what Sony fans saying whole the generation...If price goes down sales of PS3 will go up;. How many weeks now is the PS3 above the Wii/X360 sales?

Yea, just imagine if Sony was able to launch the PS3 at $299 or $350 price.  They couldn't because they were already taking losses from each system even at the original launch price.  You can't blame them for wanting to put Blu-ray in but that did drive up the cost a lot in the beginning.  It is selling better now than the other systems probably due to reduced price, game library, and features not available with the other consoles.  The feature rich PS3 made it impossible to have a low launch price but now that cost are down consumers see the value for the money.
