I laughed at all of the "PS3 will win, guys! Really...!!" predictions.
Never in a generation has a system come from behind to dominate the competition. So, not only would Sony have to buck 30 years' worth of trends, they'd also have to do so against the fastest selling console of all time. That would require both a mass migration to the PS3 and Wii sales dropping off so dramatically that it would be unprecedented in not only the sales of video games, but also the sales of consumer electronics in general.
In other words, Sony would have to pull off a miracle. And, last I checked, an electronics manufacturer isn't exactly capable of miracles.
Enjoy your cognitive dissonance.
"'Casual games' are something the 'Game Industry' invented to explain away the Wii success instead of actually listening or looking at what Nintendo did. There is no 'casual strategy' from Nintendo. 'Accessible strategy', yes, but ‘casual gamers’ is just the 'Game Industry''s polite way of saying what they feel: 'retarded gamers'."
