Gaming - Wii vs PS3 sales: - View Post

BenKenobi88 said: It's baffling to me why so many people think that just because the Wii costs less, it has to sell 2.5 for every PS3. It's not the consoles' prices that matter as much in the long run, it's how many consoles were sold, along with the larger user-base. You can't talk just money, because the PS3 takes a loss on each system anyway. It's how many people own a PS3 and how many own a Wii that really matters.
Also, Nintendo makes a profit on every Wii sold, so look at it this way. 2.5Wiis = Profit for Nintendp 1 PS3 = Loss for Sony. Last I checked, profit is good, losses are bad.
