Lounge Daddy Posted July 2, 2007 Posted July 2, 2007 [quote]Nintendo Co. Ltd.'s Wii game console outsold Sony Corp.'s PlayStation 3 by a ratio of over 6 to 1 in June in Japan, a game magazine publisher said, solidifying Nintendo's leading position. Nintendo sold 270,974 units of the Wii in the four weeks ended June 24, compared with 41,628 units for the PS3 and 17,616 units for Microsoft Corp.'s Xbox 360, according to data from Enterbrain. The Wii's lead against the PS3 was 4 to 1 in April and 5 to 1 in May. The Wii's strong performance, coupled with continued brisk demand for Nintendo's portable game gear, the DS, helped the Kyoto-based company shoot past Sony in market capitalization last week and become one of Japan's 10 most valuable companies.

Pontifite 7 of 10 Posted July 2, 2007 Posted July 2, 2007 They shouldn't even be in the same leage! Wii's have the remote and stuff, and PS3 is just really good graphics.
gamesfanatic04 Posted July 2, 2007 Posted July 2, 2007 (edited) All I got from the PS3 commercials was "PS3, it makes babies cry" Also I hated FPS games till I got my Wii, now that I can actually aim instead of direct a cursor, my accuracy has gone up to 65% and I play them all the time *edit, thats the orginal PS3 baby siting in a room getting tortured comercial not the new one on youtube* Edited July 2, 2007 by gamesfanatic04
desertwoman Posted July 2, 2007 Posted July 2, 2007 LOL!! ^^^ When the PS3 gets some more games and lowers the price, then I'll get one.... from the pawn shop as usual. Right now, I'm enjoying my 360. I would have a Wii, but I can't find the dog gone thing.

And it's not like I have Tivo or DVR and don't watch TV. A good commercial only gets you so far .... people gotta see it. And I'm sure the price doesn't help either.

In their defense, the price is so high, because of the Blu-Ray, without the Blu-Ray it could be priced more reasonably. I have seen the PS3 and it is an amazing machine...and movies are beautiful on it. Thing is I know they are coming out with some amazing games, all in trueHD, that is 1080p..full High Def...those are going to look cool... Sorry, the techie side of me is getting too excited...

gamesfanatic04 Posted July 3, 2007 Posted July 3, 2007 Ultimately the PS3's that don't bust into flames after 5 days will deploy subtle EMP waves to destroy all non sony equipment in your appartment. Thats why it's so expensive.
