Though I do not agree with his entire post, Happy Squirrel said the most intelligent thing in this thread. He explained the main reason people buy a console, BECAUSE THE PEOPLE THEY KNOW ALREADY HAVE IT!!!! This has been true in every past generation of gaming. It could be even more true this generation because online gaming allows actual play between friends and family.
Sony and Microsoft are close enough in sales and momentum that this reasoning may not (yet) apply to them a great deal, but the Wii is miles out in front. Finalsquall, the only way the PS3 is ever coming close to the Wii is if the Wii's lifespan ends LONG before the PS3's. And Nintendo are not Microsoft, they will sell the system as long as there is someone who wants to buy it. There is no chance the PS3 will catch the Wii before Nintendo's next console hits.
