I think the Wii appeals to a different market segment. IMO, someone considering a PS3 or 360 is not considering a Wii. I view a Wii sale as a lost PS2 sale not as a lost PS3/360 sale. Consoles should be compared by class and that is defined by features and price point. If you look at the features of the Wii, they are closer to the PS2 than they are to the 360/PS3. This is the same reason I did not include the PSP and DS in my original post.
The purpose of my original post was to point out that Sony did a good job in selling consoles in 2007 compared to the competition. Sony is not tied to the success of one console at the moment, unlike their competitors. They are trying to maintain sales of the PS2 and grow a new product line.
To simply say Sony sucks based on the number of PS3s sold is short sighted and an incorrect thought.

That simply is not the case though. All 3 are video game machines, and thus all three are competing for sales. You wouldn't but a SDTV and a HDTV together would you? Almost certainly not. While the two offer different features, they are the same type of product. Just because one has extra features and costs more does not mean it is a different market. It just means it has extra features and costs more.


Logic wins again. +1 for logic.

@CrazzyMan: One day I will teach you how to use the graphs on this site. You (and everyone else) must be so VERY careful when you use the charts. I really hate seeing data thrown up that is used incorrectly or is found incorrectly.

@TWRoO, wait, the NES isn't part of the 6th gen? I was hoping to become part of the 6th gen revolution everyone is talking about. Between that and Y2K bug, it should be a fun year. (note sarcasim)
