We already know the result of PS3 vs Wii

Its simple. The PSP and DS are the handheld equivelants of these two consoles. DS, like Wii has a unique control system, awesome games, quite cheap etc etc etc. PSP, like the PS3 is a powerhouse with good graphics, ridiculous price, plays films, music  etc etc etc.

But as we can see, the DS has proved much more popular and a better seller than its rival, with some people not wanting to go for a film or music player for the simple fact they already have one. Are you really going to spend £400+ on great graphics and a long list of unneccesery functions? I mean really. Who the hell has two 1080p HD-TVs? What a waste of money. Of course, if your parents make more money than you do brain cells, and can actually afford this over-rated giant PSP, be my guest I wont stop you from getting it.

Surely this result from the handhelds will be reflected on the home consoles?

Too true sir

But most casuals cant afford to spend £450 whenever they want to. Its not that they dont want the PS3, some (most) people simply cant afford it

Disagree. Only a fraction of people buy handhelds in comparison to the number of people who buy consoles. And in my experience, casuals like pretty graphics:)-voodoo_child-

I am getting a nintendo wii later this year, I already have a 360 and in a few hours I will be camping at toys r us to pre order a ps3

I am not a fanboy of any system -just the games-

only thing that will make people buy the wii is that it will have many games for the kids and many action mature games for the adults

but the whole "people are going to buy it cause it is so cheap, and people can't afford any of the other two consels is just bs"

even a 13 year old with a job that pays 5.50 an  hour could get a ps3 or a 360

and if an adult can't afford a ps3 or 360 cause of a tight job or bills/kids to pay for

than they should not even get a consel in the first place

no. you see, I never owned a handheld until DS. nintendo succeeded in not only bringing non gamers to buy handhelds but also gamers who wernt fans of handhleds. So that fraction that you speak of has grown. This is where the DS succeeded and the PSP failed. If it was just a psp that was released then I still wouldnt have a handheld.

People don't want their handheld to be a multimedia device. As for consoles? Well, the DVD player built into the PS2 was a MASSIVE SUCCESS. PSP did really good considering it was sonys first go at the handheld market, against nintendos complete domiance. Consoles are different though, with consoles, the playstation brand is king.Sovereign727
