I kind of laugh at those here who think they really know what's going to happen in the console race. I don't claim to know how it plays out long term. Last gen at this time we knew the PS2 was going to dominate. There's no such clear trend this time. |
And this is what people have a problem with. You see, Wii is OUTPACING the PS2 at this time in its life. Yet this time last gen you were PERFECTLY ok with calling the entire gen that was still 6+ years away from its completion.
If you cant see the problem there then I dont know what to say. The console that gets the early momentum does not just evaporate. Ever. And we have the entire HISTORY of videogame consoles to back that up. You have, a hunch...
You are the one with the outlandish claims. Not the people here.
When you are the one making the longshot predicition that goes against everything this industry has taught us since its inception, it is YOU that needs to provide some concrete reason for us to give your idea a chance, Not the other way around. With more and more developers on board seemingly every day, and with the popular series like GH and Rock Band coming over as well as outselling its two competitors COMBINED by over 100k units per month, the reasonable conclusion is that its just fine to call the gen now. Saying anything to the contrary is the longshot.
Im not sure whether or not this is a good or bad thing, I just know what I see, and its the same thing Ive seen with every console. I dont have any reason at all to believe it will be different this time. And for the record Ive never said PS didnt have a shot. I dont think it has a shot at 1st place, but 2nd and 3rd have yet to be decided. Wouldnt put money on it though.
