Yeah, he's right. The wii is an impulse buy that tells your brain not to buy trash like the ps3. Apparently, Sony thinks this console war is about putting in a bunch of technology no one needs and telling people if you want to afford my piece-of-crap system you might have to take out the mortgage. Games...what? Sony's arrogance has once again gone too far. Nintendo's got it right. People play games because they are fun!, and Sony seems to have forgotten that.

In the 80's Nintendo ruled the roost and for good reason. It was simply the most entertaining video game unit available. Then it was said that games on the amiga and 286 would overwhelm Nintendo, that sega's genesis console with superior graphics would wipe it out of existance. Here we are in 2007 and Nintendo is still kicking because they focus on fun, entertaining games. They have the model and the history. What they lacked in the last few generations (game cube) were the great, exclusive games. All it would take is this generations Zelda, Mario Bros, or Metroid to push it to the top.

If Sony has the intestinal fortitude to withstand lackluster sales and widespread ridicule, the PS3 will prevail--in the long, long run. That's why they built a machine that won't need to be completely re-engineered in 5 years.

People are thinking they will get the Wii in addition to one of the higher priced systems. So may as well get it now. Weird that the platform makers can't get more games on launch. 'Killer App' ?

Indeed, I am not a console gamer, but I have been looking for a Wii as the included sports game interests me as a way [one piece of a myulti pronged approach] of getting fit :-) (Tennis in my living room). I have been driving around to various stores (I am not in a hurry so I stop by occasionally) and they are always out of the Wii, but they have PS 3 (both 20 and 60gb versions) on the shelf. This has happened to me several times now that I noticed PS 3 machines on the shelf waiting to be bought.

Yeah, the Wii is an impulse buy, just like M&Ms. I know I always see people lining up outside stores before they open just waiting for the next shipment from Mars.

Sony needs to get out of denial and get with the program.

I own both PS3 and Wii, the Wii is definitly fun, however it lacks the online play that the PS3 has. The great thing is that if you can afford a PS3 you can always buy a Wii as well since it's price is nothing compared to PS3 price. Only downfall of Wii is no DVD player.

Ok lets see the features of PS3--Blu-Ray DVD (Nah, gotta wait to see who wins the HD Wars (oldies remember Beta vs VHS?) and own multiple DVD players now--check), then there's the online feature (Nah, have my souped-up Velocity PC for that--check),60GB disk (Nah, got 320GB in PC--check), high-end graphics (Nah, got nvidia
