Its obvious the wii isn't meant to go 'toe to toe with ps3' - that 's just plain dumb to suggest that a console designed for a completely different market and doing really well is supposed to compete with an overpriced dvd player.

» anyone who claims
that the PS3 is overpriced hasn't used one yet.
last i checked the wii is making considerable profit in each unit sold while Sony is actually losing money with every PS3... so please if any product in this discussion is "overpriced" it is definitely not the Playstation 3.

The wii will not be killed by anyone it will die out on its own. Why? Because the people who are interested in it are very limited in comparison with hardcore gamers which go with a ps3 or a 360, and when all people who want a wii,get a wii now that Nintendo is meeting the demand (the only reason for the explosive sales of the wii....stock shortage) the sales will drop down to a minimum (well below of the xbox and ps3) and sustained by children that just got old enough for their mums to by them their first and cheap console at age 10...

Personally I belive, yes, this will kill off the Wii. The fact plain and simple is that the wii is a fad. As an owner of a Wii I know at first they seem exciting and new, but after you get over the motion they get old and dull. More gamers will swing towards the Wii at first, but when they realise the lack of 'blockbuster' games other than mini-games they will soon swing to either the 360 or PS3. The Wii is more aimed at non-gamers and children in my opinion, and will keep the attention of children longer than gamers, because of its repatition.

"Personally I belive, yes, this will kill off the Wii. The fact plain and simple is that the wii is a fad."
It's not a fad it's a fun console. Just not fun enough for pimplely teenagers like yourself. The Wii started with the casual market and is branching out to the hardcore market. The PS3 started with the hardcore market and will branch out to the casual market in 3 to 4 years time when it's affordable to that market.
Nintendo will sell every single Wii it can possibly produce this year. None of these titles are going to stop that.
Anyway for now the PS3 has enough competition from the GBA to keep it busy until some decent software comes out.

The PS3 is overpriced for a game console. That's the point. The Playstation was always a game console, and they were supposed to be making another with the PS3.
Every overpriced game console before it has failed horribly. Like the NeoGeo and 3DO, the PS3 was double the price of the competition. Sony tried to turn game consoles into high end electronics. That's why they don't sell.

Besides, since sony is last place everywhere but Japan, they need to try to do some killing for a change!

» The Wii is an parasite console
...Most people are getting the Wii because they're waiting for the games to pour out, most noticeably MGS4, Bio Shock, and others to see if the $479.99 Elite and the $599.99 PS3 is worth the purchase. I'm not saying that the Wii won't survive, but after this Christmas, only the Mario games will be worth purchasing, as most Wii games can also go out on the PS2 as well (If you have one)

That list is stupid, here is the real threat to the Wii:
10) Heavenly Sword
9) Lair
8) Warhawk
7) Gran Turismo 5/HD
6) Tekken 6
5) Afrika
4) Eye of Judgement
3) LittleBigPlanet
2) MGS4
1) FF13/Versus 13
0) God of War 3
Other games of interest are Uncharted, Folklore, Ratchet and Clank, and maybe Killzone. Of course the Wii will not be "Murdered" by the PS3. But these games should close the gap, assuming there is a price cut to go along with them. Nintendo is smart in releasing its biggest games at the end of 2007 when the Wii will be strongest. After that, its all PS3. I'm sitting back watching the fireworks for now. The Wii is tearing up the charts, but can it last? My Wii has been collecting dust since I stopped playing WarioWare and Monkey ball. I just don't see it having a future after 2-3 years but who knows. I'm just a cranky hardcore gamer who sees this generation falling to the casuals. Do they even buy games? What the heck.

There are MANY future PS3 games which look better and appear to play better imo, so no way should Lair be at number 1 on that list. :|

Wii will murder itself due to the lack of any real next gen titles. After people get sick of Wiimote and waving in the air with it they will buy Ps3 or X360.

All you hard core gamers out there that think sony and microsoft made a system for you.... your wrong. Hard core gamers represent a mere fraction of the gaming world. The money lies with the children and casual gamers, not with you. Why do you think the Wii has sold so well, its not because of the hard core gamers.

» Er yeah...
And that's why all the money for developing games has shifted into developing High definition, Dolby surround sound equipped versions of Bejeweled (or its various clones) and Pokemon.
It just makes good financial sense to cater for casual gamers and children, cos they're where the money lies. PFFFT...

Money for console sales maybe. A year or two from now when the tie ratio for Wii is the same as at launch it won't look like such a great idea.
Hardcore gamers are a valuable audience because they buy games.. Casual gamers, not so much.

Yeah but casual gamers don't buy a whole lot of games . They just buy the console on impulse because it's cheap and fun but they wont spend a whole lot of money on games for it especially since it comes with a game already.Once everybody has a Wii but no one is buying games it will die. A slow and sad death.

» when I bought a wii
they made me buy two games. I picked up zelda and wario wares. Wario wares sucked so I traded it in to get a discounted F.E.A.R. for my PS3. Wii sports and Zelda are the only two games I have enjoyed and 1 is free. I have no plans to buy any other game for the Wii unless it is an exclusive such as Mario Party mainly because the graphics arent that great and I do get tired of swinging the wiimote.

» kill a system
now this artical seems a little more realistic. because at first people where saying "halo will kill ps3" when one game cant really kill any console. but a list of games can. Im just mad that it will take all of these games for ps3 to beat the wii and M$ only needs halo to beat ps3.
but I still think that people will buy what cheaper.

» I find it interesting...
That my wii roomate has bought a subscriptions service to rent games, the list he submitted only has one wii game on it. the rest of the list is split 50/50 between 360 and PS3. Does that mean he is becoming a "hardcore gamer"?

The wii and ps3 target 2 diffrent types of people and when people buy a wii they usally go and buy a diffrent console also , I own a wii and currently thinking of buying a 360. I think all 3 systems are great but I think ps3 is gonna loose because of its price, I know even if i was still working i wouldnt buy one when i can buy other stuff ex: new phone, new tv, new computer, clothes, take a girl somewhere, etc...

Got to be kidding me.. None of the three systems are going anywhere. Hell Nintendo has even said they're not competing with the other two companies. Why are people so hellbent on making this into such a war? I don't think anybody here would be dumb enough to refuse a system being given to them. So why even bother bashing one or the other? Just play the games, and stop with brand loyalty. It's getting extremely old, and shows there are too many people around that need to grow the hell up.

» ps3 next dreamcast??
"The wii will not be killed by anyone it will die out on its own. Why? Because the people who are interested in it are very limited in comparison with hardcore gamers which go with a ps3 or a 360"
Are you completely stoned? The "hardcore" gamers is a niche at best...maybe 1 of 20 people that play games if your lucky...realistically probably more like 50 to 1. The ps3 has some great games coming out but if you think something like Lair will outsell say Wii Play or Mario Galaxy your out of your mind. I have all 3 consoles and both portables, so I tend to play whats good and dont worry about fanboyish loyalty. I can easily see the ps3 being this generations Dreamcast". Before you bash look at the quality of games that were on the DC and the 3rd parties jumping ship and the "hardcore" gamers going on and on about it...then tell me the parallels arent there. I dont want that to happen, but I really wont be surprised if it does.

sonys first party is awsome, and I think that in the future the ps3 will be killing the xbox 1080 and the real nintendo revolution. although by then the ps3 will be the weaker system, it will be just like the ps2 days.

» WOW!!!
That has got to be the most ignorant post ever. It is also completely void of any semblance of proper grammar, punctuation, and correct use of the English language that I have ever seen.
The icing on the cake has to be your statement about most of us not finishing high school. Your post is something that most middle school students would be embarrassed about. Go back to your local Adult Education facility and ask them for some help.
I don't normally rant about grammar and spelling in other posts but you brought this one on yourself. At least try to look like you are actually intelligent yourself when you insult another person/s intelligence level.
Have a miserable day, loser! God knows you must live a miserable life.

yeah, they said the internet was a fad, it turns out it wasn't....
but then that 'wassup!' buweiser advertising campaign was also a fad... and that died a death...
i would think of other fads which have died out but i can't be bothered.
but you see what i mean right? not all supposed fads turn out to be long lasting hits.
