ps3 outselling wii and xbox 360 in Au

[emuking]

Once the PS3 lowers in price it will completley own the Wii in terms of profitability , Sony may not have to sell more units.

It's not all about who can sell the most consoles in the first 2 years it's about cosistency over a 3-10 year period , I don't believe that Nintendo Wii will be able to come out with new ideas to accomodate it's style of gameplay for that period of time.

In the long run Sony have it in the bag , it's not who will win but how long it'll take for Sony to become market leaders , Sony's success with the PS2 will repat iself.

The only thing that has stopped me and many others is the Price of this console however i'll probably be getting one in december after the release of GTA IV a title which will be a console seller.

um you know gta IV is coming out on the 360 too right, it saves you waiting a looong time and also money till the ps3 price drops, also wii already owns this gen, why, well for three simple reasons as i see it
1.wii is overhyped and its fun "party factor" meets that hype so casuals will buy in with all the minigames and casual games(they dig the wiimote)

2.wii has nintendo hardcore gamers in the palm of their hand with the big three, mario, metroid, and smash bros., and you can be sure we'll hear something at e3 about the next mario kart, pikmin, and animal crossing,(cant forget 3rd party devs )

3.wii sports, let's face it thats a system seller if there ever was one, especially to casuals who think different like "wow $250 and a free game sure "

simple reasons but so damn true

Id say this is major bull$#@!, Aussies dont know whats good and whats $#@! when it comes to video games(most anyway) but there not stupid enough to spend $1000 on a console which is advertised as a bluray player.

Both points 1&2 don't proove anything , that's the kinda stuff that keeps a console for a year (2 years tops ) . The hype will eventualy run out and then people will clearyly see how garbage the Wii is , in my opinion "next gen Wii" is oxymoronic.

Everyone knows that Sony will be depending on GTA IV as a title that'll sell consoles , so I'm pretty sure that they'll do everything they can to make sure the release of GTA IV is delayed for as long a possible on the 360.

It's all about consistency and we'll see in the near future that the Wii will lack in it , I can't see Wii going strong for another 2 years with the real next generation competiton.

The wii has been out longer.....i think??

on another note: All over the news here is that australia's 21st millionth resident is about to be born, taking long enough eh? even tho 21 million aint that much compered to other countries.

There is only a day or two between the 2 consoles in the states, but here in the UK the Wii came out in December and the PS3 came out in March giving the Wii a head start.

if gta 4 comes out the same day on both consoles sony is screwed, especially if 360 gets it first, remember gta is no longer an exclusive so sony already lost that, madden also looks much better in 360, dont believe me check out the videos at ign or 1up, madden runs in 60 frames on 360 and 30 on ps3, this has already been confirmed, there is nothing going for the ps3 now, it might be the next sega even, its only life support now is mgs 4 and ff13, and im pretty sure it wont be consistent at all if thats all it has to rely on, and no im not a fanboy i love all consoles, just ps3 alot less than wii and 360

I find it funny that these sony fanboys say how developers will soon find it hard to fine new innovative ways to use the Wii & its remote...
Isn't it just the same with any console? Same joypad throughout the consoles life... like it matters, the Wii's remote can be used sideways like a normal joypad, and if its uncomfy, you can buy a grip for it. Not to mention the ability to plug extra accessories into it (eg. the classic controller & the nunchuk, who knows what else will arrive?)

Sony cant do anything about the GTA IV 360 release, all they have to offer in games are mainly sequels. And hopefully the "Yeah, that game is just a port from the playstation" crap will finally stop. (I cannot believe how many people say multiformat games are just crappy ports from the Playstation, even though they;re from different teams and sometimes different publishers!).

Sure I only own a Wii atm, and I know theres a lack of good games for it at the moment too, And I believe MS will probably win this round.
The only way Sony will squeeze some extra cash at the end of the generation will be to make another slimmed down version of their console.

I admit, the PS3 graphics capabilities are pretty - well - brilliant, which was on Demo at a local gamestation. But the 360's do match up. And no, developers havnt reached the limit of the Wii's capabilities. They'll always find a new technique to get more out of it.

- oh and I thought of an 'innovative' flaw with the PS3... rumble, and cupboard space.

The Wii mote is one of the top selling points for the Wii , a point like that will soon be worth nothing in a few years.

How the hell can people say the Xbox 360 is on level grounds with the PS3 in terms of performance IT'S NOT the PS3 is far more advanced , keep in mind developers have had much longer time to make games for the Xbox 360 and have a better understanding of how to unleash it's full potential , PS3 isn't even in it's first year you can't expect it to be at it's best. Plus 360's are garbage , i've heard and seen countless reports ofthis piece of poorly created garbage malfunctioning.

I won't even bother comparing the Wii to the PS3 in terms of specs , all the Wii is , is an over hyped gamecube with a motion controller and slightly improved graphics , call me a Sony fanboy ( despite the fact that I don't really like Sony ) but the Wii sucks no matter how you try to spin the truth.

Comparing the Wii and the PS3 is like comparing the PSP with the DS - apples and oranges. They target different markets, Wii (like the DS) is a fun machine, whilst the PS3 (like the PSP) is more suited for those who get immersed in gaming as well as other multimedia - hence the HD playback capacity of the PS3, unlike the Wii. It's as fruitless (no pun intended) as comparing sales of the Porsche Cayenne with the Landrover Defender - sure they're both 4x4 (on paper) but that's where the similarities also end.
