IN THE run up to Christmas, the Wii destroyed any competition from Sony's PS3.
According to TG Daily, the final numbers show that in terms of unit sales, the Wii was the unquestioned winner of the holiday shopping battle.

Apparently Nintendo's console is outselling the PS3 at a rate of two to one, which is a bit surprising for a machine that has a daft name and runs at a lower spec than the competition. However as more people got their sticky paws on the machine, word got around that it was better.

Forrester Research analyst Paul Jackson said that the Wii stole the high ground in terms of playability and entertainment value.

Sony, on the other hand, had product shortages, high prices and reviews that were not exactly complementary.

Thats what Sony gets for not having enough product available. I'm actually hoping to get a Wii, and don't even know if I'm going to splurge on that overpriced PS3.


I've played both, and the PS3 doesn't seem like it has anything to offer that I don't already have on my 360.



Mind you, both were eclipsed in market share by the Microsoft Xbox 360 which has almost a year in the market and shedloads more games. However it does look like the Wii will be the rival rather than Sony.

Everyone remember at first when they were sayin the PS3 was gonna be from $1,000 to $1,300. I wonder how they woulda done if they kept that price, haha. I used to be a PlayStation man myself, but this is America baby let's support this XBox thing. Sony don't give a fuck bout us or they woulda kept them PS3s in stock for us. They wanna be shady then fuck em, I'm officially converted.

The only thing PS3 might have that XBox don't is all the new Final Fantasy games. I know XBox got the online one but you gotta pay a monthly fee just to play it. PS2 got FF12 and I heard that one was off the chains. I also saw that PS2 got a Valkyrie Profile 2 and it looked kinda sicc. So ya know I'm sure PS3 will have some games I want that XBox don't have. But ya know XBox is gonna have games that you can't get with the PS3 so it goes both ways. Straight up GOW, one of my favorite games ever already and I only had it for 5 days.
