Final thoughts on Wii vs. PS3 Launch

Posted by Izzy D.

My cousin posed this question on MySpace:

"So what's the general consensus? I think the Wii is going to top out the ps3 simply b.c ps3 isn't going to install enough console's in the home by '07. Also most parents are going to walk into a gamestop and see a 250 dollar console, it's a no brainer, they're gonna pick up a Wii. What do you guys think??"

Here is my response on the matter:

Wii all the way.

The Wii will have 4 million units before '07.
The PS3 will have 400,000 units at launch.

Now, even if we factor the differences in pricing (get 2 Wii's for one PS3) the Wii will still have a better turnout. If Sony were able to produce more units then things would be different.

This is a huge category- content. Yes, PS3 will be the cheapest Blu-Ray player on the market. Honestly though, who really cares? People will care about the PS3's power but who really cares about their launch games? With the exception of Resistance I can play them all on my 360. Graphically, the Wii is unimpressive but they their games look promising. I will get a Wii right after New Year's and a PS3 when FFXIII/MGS4 comes out.

P.S. Assassin's Creed is coming out for XBOX 360 so now there is no rush for me to get a PS3. lol
