Wiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!

I think it's inappropriate to refer to the competition of this new generation of consoles as a war. While it was certainly appropriate for the generations preceding it, it seems to me that Microsoft, Nintendo and Sony are more actively targeting specific segments of the gaming market as opposed to the market as a whole. I therefore feel it is more appropriate to ask whether or not each console is likely to reach its sales targets in its respective markets.

I agree with Tribe, though I voted for the 360, time will tell if I'm wrong, but I think the Wii won't be as succesful as it ought to be (I love Nintendo), and Sony have shot themselves in the foot with the PS3's pricetag. IMHO.

personally, i thnk that the only reason that the 360 will live on is because of games like gears of war and halo.  the real "competition" is between thew wii and the ps3.

I actually agree with you. Though I think the Xbox 360 simply will win in the end because it was out first and more developers focused their attention on it early on. I think the PS3 may fail. (Though I could be wrong)

I really want the Wii to be a success, so I hope it can knock Microsoft off the platform, the market really needs more variation at this point. (Not that I have the slightest against the Xbox 360)

Time will tell!

Well personally I believe it's a war between Xbox 360 and PS3. The Wii is an a league of it's own due to the fact it has moved on from the average console.

Xbox 360 and PS3 are gonna be close in competition, and the only thing that I think will guarantee the PS3 a win is Square-Enix sticking with them.

Now as for the Wii, considering it's completely different from the PS3 and Xbox 360, the only way it can win is by getting high sales and to get high sales they will wanna release a lot of the good SNES game. Also they will want to release a lot of games that use the remote inventively to attract all the teenagers.

everyone says that they want (a ps3 or a 360) and a wii.  its like two different worlds.  or comparing apples to oranges.  chocolate to mice.  technology to x-men.  kirby to star wars.
