As long as both consoles keep selling I'm happy. If wii starts taking over more than 50% of the market share while Sony and 360 sell peanuts...there is the root of all evil right there.

I understand what you're saying and it's true that better competition where all companies succeed is good for us gamers.

But in the long run I don't think anybody should complain about the Wii "domination" hurting competition. It is nothing compared to last generation where the PS2 has 70% marketshare. And pretty much nobody expects the Wii to come close to that. Some do but for every idiot that proclaims the Wii will sell over 300 million Wiis you have a crazzy PS3 fanboy somehow proclaiming the PS3 will make a huge comeback and also sell well over 100 million.

If you compare the Wii's success to the PS2's success the 360 and PS3 are both on track to outsell the original Xbox and Gamecube so the market overall isn't hurting.


yeah, good point.

My concern was that if wii gets a large market share, being such a different console...comapnies may start investing in the whole casual thing more and wii fit may have lot of competition...but when you factor in that te PC market is there as well and bigger than ever and similar to ps360...I think its no big deal even if wii becomes this gens ps2...
