| PS3owner said: The wii will have a very good end year no doubt, but it can't match the 360 or PS3 for games, halo3, GTA4, these game will sell higher than anything the wii can make, GTA4 will be the best selling game all year. This christmas season will bring the 360 and the PS3 back to life, the wii will get only weaker as the 360 and the PS3 styart to flex their muscles. once 08 comes and the amazing titles start to come expect the wii to fail, GT5, FF13 and MGS4 will destroy any hope that people have in the wii, The 360 will have allan wake and halo wars and more massive sequels to their great titles. The graphics will start to shine at the and of 08, now we enter 09 and we have GoW 2 hitting shelfs, this game will blow everything else away, and we can expect the next oblivion type game this year along with more ports of great PC titles. The HDTV market will be cheap enough for everyone to get a 720p TV, and the price of 1080p TV's will be half the price. I would also expect people picking up 5.1 and 7.1 surround sytems to go with their TV's, this will destroy the wii, it will come down in price and people will buy it to go with their 360 or PS3 but a very little percent of people will just own a wii. Uou can expect M$ to bring our some sort of handheld system, phone/game system/mp3 player handhel that will be bale to hook up with the 360, the PSP redesign will be cheap and most people who have a PS3 will get one, the PS3 will be on firmware 3.60 in 09 allowing the system to do what everyone wants of it right now. |
Right ...
HDTVs are already pretty cheap and have been for quite awhile; last year I bought a 34 inch widescreen CRT HDTV for $500; as a CRT it produces far superior images to any existing Plasma or LCD tv that is currently on the market. Even at this price though, CRT HDTVs sold far worse than the more expensive and lower quality LCD TVs mainly because people don't care about HDTV and really want flat pannel displays. Beyond that the Wii is selling remarkably well in Japan which is a market that has much higher HDTV penetration so I don't think that people are all that motivated to buy a console based on its output resolution.
Hypothetically speaking, the Wii may be the worldwide market leader by the end of 2007. Being that it will have sold more hardware than the XBox 360 in half the time, and sold 2 (or more) times as many units of hardware as Sony has in the same time frame, it is likely that many of the third party "Big Guns" will be developed exclusively for the Wii in 2008/2009. How will the PS3 and XBox 360 be able to come back when the Wii has twice as many good games avaiable for it then they do?
