PS3 set to outsell Wii by 60%

There is no way that the PS3 will out sell the Wii by that much. Think about it, a little kid wants a video game system for Christmas. Unless the parents are rich, they will go for the cheaper console. I don't even think that the PS3 will even out sell the Wii.

okay... thats the kids... the people who make there own money will buy the more expensive one...

Also a lot of people will buy ps3 alone for blu ray.. its cheaper than a plain old bluray player

Hmmm I honestly was planning on getting a ps3 until I heard of its insane price. I understand the fact that blue ray technology and everything built into a sytem and only costin $600 is an awsome outstanding deal. But here are the known problems to that and that is you can't use the blue ray technology for burning etc. and only use the software that SONY provides. I also believe that this will probaly end piracy for the ps3 for a long time because not many people can afford blue ray players to burn ISO's to them, and the fact that even if you did put the whole ISO on the ps3 hard drive were looking at 50 gigs of space! =O

Nintendo Wii on the other hand looks at what is best for the consumer and sells it at a reasonable price, and also is making the consul backwards compatabile with all the old games. This is great because it revives those who want to play old school SNES, and NES again =P

Now ift he ps3 has a linux operating system then I'll definently look foward to it, as I hope it has the ability to run some type of homebrew.

I really want to know how much these games are going to cost. Considering the games can nolong just be ported from 1 system to the next, programming cost must be spiralling. and if the games are 50gig each, i can only assume the price per game will be as insane and the PS3 itself.

Right now the game are priced around 60$ on bestbuy

50gig fillup pretty fast when u work with hd textures...especially if u use advanced shader than requiered several layer of textures.

However I think the ps3 is far too expensive for a gamesystem than going to be use for about 6year...

I don't think that's possible with the PS3's high price. The PS3 looks like a great console, I want one, but I simply can't afford it at a $600 price. Yeah, there are plenty who can, but I don't think it's possible to sell more than something that's three times as cheap, unless Wii had the power of an Atari 2600, or something. With Wii's low price, and games that appeal to even nongamers, I think it will win the console wars.
