I am very happy with Nintendo's great performance with the Wii, but I don't see it stand in the way of the PS3's long term strategy at all. The PS3 wasn't designed to sell at Wii levels anyway, that would be far too costly early on in the game.

The 360 is much more geared towards a similar gaming experience, but IMO the PS3 is far better specced despite some early 360 to PS3 porting issues and what this suggest to you. I also applaud third parties going multi-platform for games where it makes sense (not holding back potential advantage related to Blu-Ray, Cell, bandwidth, default harddrive or motion sensing controls) and does not translate into sacrifices regarding the PS3 version like for the upcoming Ghostbusters game, IMO it would have been better for that game to be PS3 HD game engine exclusive.

If I remember correctly, you predicted the PS3 would dominate the Wii starting from Christmas 2008. Is that what you mean by PS3's long term strategy, or has domination been delayed again?
