Diomedes - I'm just saying, the PS3 numbers that exist today... Dont have games selling the consoles. Japan still dont have games, USA, is starting to get them as of last week. :p
All I'm saying. Not saying your saying the PS3 sales are bad. I'm just saying.
Those games your saying are out for the PS3... might be out for you to buy, but their not gonna show up in the numbers for another month.
It has no games selling it but it does have the "Cheap blue-ray" factor. I witnessed myself a bunch of people buy it only because it could play next-gen dvd's I know 3 seperate people with no interest in gaming that purchased PS3's. Granted 3 is a small sampling but that's just among my somewhat small circle of friends. Not to mention the people I witnessed purchasing it with a TV at best buy yet no games.
I think PS3 is gonna lose that factor though as the games come in and the Blue-ray player for the same price comes out.(When was that due again?)
I honestly see this race having no clear winner. I see it working one of two ways actually and please bear with me here.
1) I see a large casual crowd expanding off the DS, which was undeniably good at drawing in non-gamers, swelling the Wii up to be about equal, maybe a bit less or a bit more, with the PS3 and the 360 in a somewhat close 3rd.
or 2) Wii as the also sold system with a minor interest from casuals. Xbox360 owners are more likely to take to the Wii then a PS3 in addition(Assuming they don't trade in their 360 for the PS3 or something of that nature) While the same could be said for PS3 owners adopting the Wii as an "also purchased" I see a few PS3, Wii, xbox360 exclusive owners and a few who will grab all 3 but these crowds are probably pretty low. I'd also assume the Xbox360&PS3 owning crowd to be quite small.
#2 seems more likely to me.. but hey if the DS taught us anything it's that.. you never know.. Though I called the DS's success before PSP/DS were released >.> only to be called insane for saying the DS would spank the PSP.
