I cannot imagine that an ordinary poster would go to such great lengths to discredit a console that has not been released yet.<BR/><BR/>About the price drop, Sony really should have kept the original price, the first batch of ps3's would sell out anyway and like some people already pointed out, to make additional costs is a highly risky strategy considering that Sony already loses a few 100 dollars on each console. <BR/><BR/>As for the discussion which new console is most likely to emerge as the best selling console, the Wii system seems to be the most plausible candidate. The new controller will do it's job in attracking new gamers to the consoles. The Wiichannels show that Nintendo is taking internet seriously, one of the aspects of gaming Nintendo unfortunately ignored during the gamecube era.<BR/>And knowing Nintendo they will bring out software that will draw in new gamers like they already did with the ds with titles like brain training and nintendogs. <BR/><BR/>Nintendo made the right choice by not following the same path as their compitors because both hardcore and casual gamers will want to try the Wii. Add to that the small size and the design of the new console and it seems that Nintendo really has constructed a killer console this time. <BR/><BR/>The only true threat to the Nintendo console could come from an unexpected corner. Nowadays majority of console buyers will have less and less time to play console games. Mobile gaming on the other hand will gain more and more in popularity. Handheld devices are better than ever in terms of cost, quality and user friendliness. The biggest competitor of the wii could be ironically the ds.<BR/><BR/>Sorry for the bad grammar, English is not my native language.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13336739.post-1159132154522313152006-09-24T22:09:00.000+01:002006-09-24T22:09:00.000+01:00i meant holiday, not holyday, lol. sorry, i´m tire...i meant holiday, not holyday, lol. sorry, i´m tired...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13336739.post-1159132065345029912006-09-24T22:07:00.000+01:002006-09-24T22:07:00.000+01:00yeah, gears of war is visually really stunning. wi...yeah, gears of war is visually really stunning. wii can´t compete with it. thats clear. but i think zelda has the power to compete with it saleswise. a brilliant story, good graphics (for wii) and a new way to play it. wii has zelda for launch and this holyday season and microsoft has gears of war for this holydays. the ps3 is surely lacking some of the "wow" factor games at launch. sure, they may look very good, but its nothing spectacular in the list like metal gear solid, final fantasy, devil may cry, and so on...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13336739.post-1159131202019556702006-09-24T21:53:00.000+01:002006-09-24T21:53:00.000+01:00This is totally off-topic (oh, and it´s bragging),...This is totally off-topic (oh, and it´s bragging), but I just got my brand-new <A HREF="http://www.djmr.com/scripts/category.cgi?category=400_cd_player&item=AXIS9&type=store" REL="nofollow">Numark Axis9</A> CD decks and a mixer.

They may have had their share of faulty consoles returned but we are really starting to see proper second-generation software on the machine. Gears of War is simply spectacular and uses the hardware to a much higher degree than the rather complicated PS3 (or even the simpler Wii) could ever hope for at launch.Falafelkidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17918781791399825395noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13336739.post-1159128153713622652006-09-24T21:02:00.000+01:002006-09-24T21:02:00.000+01:00Fact is although Sony had a big support from Third...Fact is although Sony had a big support from Third Party Producers, the 360 and the Wii are a better choice !
