Just how much longer do you think PS2 will continue to receive new titles?  DS has all but killed it in Japan.

And completely unsurprising.  Any general purpose processor is capable of running the calculations involved in creating a polygonal render - the only question is whether a given system can do so quickly enough to allow for gameplay. 

-HOTEL MARIO on CD-I
-Mario Tennis on Virtual Boy
-maybe Mario Clash on Virtual Boy

 

picture for those of you too young to have heard of it

 

 

great knowledge in that list huh? ohh i forgot that nintendo pretend that the virtual boy never existed hahaha

Nintendo pretends that the Virtual Boy never existed? Why do they still have it on their website, then?

Hotel Mario wasn't developed or published by Nintendo. It's a bad relic of the Phillips deal, much like Faces of Evil or Wand of Gamelon. Consider it retroactively deleted, much like Highlander 2.

Mario Clash is pretty mediocre. But Mario Tennis on Virtual Boy was awesome. It was so good that you'd grit your teeth and play through the pain of your bleeding eyes.

Nothing can be a system seller until supply exceeds demand for the Wii.  No game can sell more consoles than Nintendo ships.

[QUOTE="SpruceCaboose"] As with my car comparison, the Honda (Wii) sells more, being the cheaper, more appealing-to-the-masses choice, but the BMWs (PS3s) still sell, and still stay in business quite well.SpruceCaboose

The problem with this scenario is that road manufacturers are going to build roads primarily for Honda, so in a few years BMW owners won't be able to drive wherever they want to.

And here you are assuming to know the future, and what developers will and won't do. Leave the crystal ball out of it, since so far developer support is not "fleeing" the PS3, as much as you want to claim with the lost exclusives, which does not mean they won't appear on the PS3 as well.

I'm not talking about the multiplat announcements for this year, although those are an important indicator.

Your accusations of crystal-gazing can go hang.  I'm talking about the scenario you posited in your car analogy - the one where Wii sells significantly more than PS3, as economy sedans outsell high-end luxury cars.

If Wii establishes the dominant userbase, it will receive more software support.  The roads that the BMW owners can't drive on aren't the multiplats going to 360 - they're the Wii exclusives.  It's really that simple.

Famitsu Hardware Sales. (First 28 Weeks)

The PS3 is selling worse then the GC did in Japan... ... ... Ouch.

PS3 sales will pick up soon.

6/07 - Folk Soul
6/14 - Ninja Gaiden Sigma
July - Minna no Golf 5

Prepare for disappointment.

Sony is on track to sell the same number of consoles in a year that 360 sold.AvIdGaMeR444

Leaving them a year behind the 360 in sales.  It's not like the 360 will take a year off to let the PS3 catch up.
