| Legend11 said: I think it's just people jumping on the bandwagon when it comes to putting down the PS3, for all we know sales could pick up dramatically for it sometime in the future. There were 120 million PS2s bought as well as ~48 million of the competition and even with overlap that's still a lot of people who haven't picked a new console and that's not even counting the unknown number of casual users that have picked up the Wii to go along with gamers from the previous generation, etc, so it's all still up for grabs. |
Indeed, and this site being about sales certainly favors the Wii fans right now. I do appreciate the great competition this generation is creating. I think it will be tough for Sony to regain the lead, but I don't think the Wii will get 50% of the market like a lot of people are predicting. If the 360 wasn't doing so well in the US (people at work gang up on me as much as people on this site), or if the 360 could sell at all in Japan, then I think either the PS3 or 360 would easily stand up to the Wii. I was worried about split votes before, but seeing as how so many games are announced for PS3 and 360 still I'm not as worried anymore.
I say worried because as a videogame fan I want the industry make it through these expensive consoles and continue to progress graphically and in complexity. I think the Wii is a great combo with the PS360 because it is expanding the market like the PS1 and PS2 did for different types of gamers, and perhaps more, we'll see.
