Lol at people saying "We know"... god are you people proud of this? fair enough that you like the system but some people take it like they are fucking Sony CEO's or Sony shareholders.

From a smart dude from another forums i go to -

"Fair enough if you support a football team, but why would anyone in their right mind display loyalty to a corporation like Microsoft or Sony (or Sega or Nintendo)? Games is games, and turning a blind eye to the faults of a profit making business, and dismissing other brands in support of your own, is at best blinkered, and, at worst, cripplingly sad."

Well, this isn't exactly related to topic, but about that sports comparision; sports teams are today mostly businesses, some even listed in the stockmarket. They either make profit for themselves or for the corporations that own them. Teams being non-profit making instances is far away in the past these days, so actually supporting a sports team is supporting a company, just like buying a console or a game, or feeling joy for your console of choice "winning" the VGC weekly numbers. Metaphorically speaking, people like us in VGC, can consider this whole console race as a championship and manufacturers as teams. It's actually not any different when you think of it. You can even bet your VG$ in prediction league, and after all, it's not going to really affect your life whether Nintendo or Sony wins this time, or will ManU win champions league, but it's just fun to watch and be on your favourites side. @Leo-J: Hey, i wasn't calling you with names. @mztazmz: OK then, let's call it propability by historical sales, current sales, difference in target groups, difference in pricepoints and variety of software. Better? You had some valid arguments, but there are more games coming in the "Wii series", we know that Zelda Wii is in developement, we'll see new Pikmin on Wii, Colosseum/XD type of Pokemon propably hits the Wii, strong Kid Icarus rumors, Mario Kart isn't out yet, Wii Fit out only in Japan, Brawl out in Japan and NA, WiiWare is waiting for it's release, Virtual Console is expanding, dev support switching to Wii, Wii has the lead in sales and is just making more gap, two of three biggest 1st party titles on Wii aren't that old yet and Sony's first party isn't comparable to Nintendo and it doesn't have as much IP:s to be pulled out of pocket as Nintendo has.
