The PS3 on the other hand... I don´t know. I know 6 people who own a PS2 and all of them wanted to buy a PS3. Now nobody wants it anymore - even worse one of them bought a Wii already and one a 360 - two of them are planning to get a Wii as soon as the price drops to 199.
...it's just incredible how Sony squandered their mind-share. Nintendo was totally off everyone's radar with the GameCube, and the Xbox was a Halo-cabinet. Had Sony launched something identical to either the Wii or the 360 as the next Playstation they'd be unstoppable, but the actual PS3 we have was simply designed to fail. I can't imagine what Sony was/is thinking...
Almost overnight Nintendo shot from also-ran to what's on *everybodys* lips (and this goes well beyond current game-system owners). Undoubtedly one of the most flawlessly executed market coups in history.
