Yeah, and you have completely missed my point: The half-life of a console is designed for roughly five years. The full life of a console is designed for roughly 10 years. I direct you to this sentence from my previous post:

In both cases, the console's half-life is 5 years, then a new model is released. The old model then starts to fade, and eventually put to pasture just before the new model is launched.

What you have placed in bold merely corroborates that fact. This is the same for both Sony and Nintendo. In fact, the only console to not follow this trend has been the Xbox.

And that also means the Wii is not going to die out in five years. Its successor will be launched in about five years' time, and will be discontinued after about 10 years of existence.

The PS3 will suffer pretty much the same fate. It certainly will not have a half-life of 10 years.

*yawn* this was discussed to death millions of times (especially on this site) ...
everyone knows the arguments and people weight them differently .. why just can't people seem to accept that , but rather have to try over and over again to make someone scratch his own opinion to adapt theirs ?

We all should know by now ,that this will never happen , because 99% of the people here know the statistics, facts and numbers you base your argumention on , but some just see a different trend then the crowd - is that wrong in any way ? 

I think it isn't and it shouldn't be a reason to insult them in anyway - over and out

@ omgwtfbbq )

it certainly seems to be fun to provoke people by ridiculing them

Is there anything of substance you want to tell me ?

ONLINE CONFIRMED, downloadable content from psna strong possibility!

More a E3.

Well yes. See, my small mind can't comprehend the English language very well so I need very basic break downs. So please help my small, simple mind comprehend what you're tring to tell me by answering as simplly as is possible.

1)Will the Wii home console out sell the PS3 in Japan by 2012?

2)Will the Wii home console out sell the PS3 world wide by 2012?

and just for kicks - 3) Will the Wii home console out sell the PS3, in Japan and world wide, by the time both consoles get discontinued?

Answering a simple yes or no to these questions will trully help my simple mind better understand your answers.

Yeah that's good.. but I think this was already announced a while back.. I think.

Chubear, I applaud your unwillingness to change your bold lettering, although it irks every posting member. You're an oak.

And to answer your questions:
1) Yes
2) Yes
3) Yes

Yes I know. I think I'm largly to blame for that as I didn't expect to become a lighting rod for bashing with my views.
