Everybody talking about 360 and PS3... Everybody BUYING Wii

[QUOTE="CelineDion"]

[QUOTE="AfterShafter"]Same claim that was made about the N64 early in its life. Better luck second time, eh?Bread_or_Decide

Even if this were true, (which it isn't)

N64 was only a failure relative to the SNES.

N64 still sold 35-40 million consoles worldwide.

If Wii achieved that this generation, they would make huge profits, and couldn't be called anything less than a major success.

It is true. Sony sold 100 million ps and ps2's.

40 million is  a huge failure when its 20 million less then the SNES and 60 million less then a brand new competitor.

Losing market share...is not success. Just ask the gamecube.

I agree with you 100%. Losing market share is not a success. Just ask the PS3.

[QUOTE="frankeyser"]i cant be silent when people talk up ps1 and ps2 sales... i personally owned 3 ps1s and 4 ps2s... as sony consoles tend to break often...  and i know i am not the only one becuase out of all my freinds only one of them that is right one of them only had to buy 2 ps2s as their 1st one broke.  i think in reality only 30-50 million people own ps2s that work.  the rest are in garbage dumps hanging out with E.T. for the atari!SER69

I have 3 PS2s for a different reason. 1 normal black PS2, one slim PS2 and a Pink PS2 (I bought it for my sister). Loads of people I know own both the standard PS2 and the Slim PS2. I reckon there were around 50-60 million different PS2 owners, not 120 million like people suggest.

Because it looks better, takes up less space, and is silent. Plus I buy all consoles

I have had a slim PS2 for 2 years now and it works perfectly and I even bought it used, I still have a PS1 that works perfectly and it was one of those slim mini ones. I dont see how people are complaining that the PS1 and 2 had hardware problems because they were miniscule compared to 360's hardware defects which were massive by comparison. Disc read errors are nothing compared to over heating, disc scratching, hardware melting and faulty harddrives so people shouldnt wine about how bad one little hardware problem is.
