I think Sony wants to steal as many sales as possible from the 360 and the Wii... But as a side effect, they'll also help those consoles fight against the PS3.

Anything that can reduce Sony's massive losses on their gaming division is probably seen as a good thing, of course.

Actually... if anything, won't this hurt PS3 sales? I can imagine people owning a PS2 & 360, or a PS2 & Wii - but not buying a PS2, then buying a PS3? (maybe in the future...?).

I also mentioned that in my post ;)

To clarify, the last paragraph was from the perspective of Sony's management.

Long term maybe however short term this is good for Sony. Anyone buying a PS2 is likely someone not turning around to spend even more money on a Wii. Even more to the point, anyone buying a PS2 will be buying games which is even more money going to Sony and not Nintendo or Microsoft. Right now, Sony needs all the money it can get to offset the heavy losses the PS3 is producing.

they are going to have the wii rip off sports games this holiday season I think. Sony the great innovators.

the hardware for that crap isnt made by Sony. Its made by some craptastic 3rd party company that makes 3rd party logitech controllers look godlike.
