yes you are right. wii has the msot sale or is it 360? but that doesnt mean the wii beats the ps3. ds doesnt beat psp as it has more sales. unfortunately the ps3 is too expensive and that has had a dramatic effect. now look at the 360 and wii. 360 can be bought for as cheap as 129.99 in uk . dont know about usd. now the wii is 180. what would ps3 gamers say about that. logically the 360 is more powerful, hd, stunningly good graphics, more games at better value for money. I think ps3 gamers would probably say 360 wins. Now we have ps3 and wii. with the ps3 costing half as much more than the wii, what would 360 gamers buy. They would say the ps3 wins as it is the most similar to the 360...but why would a 360 gamer want a ps3 when it is the same if not nearly as good as the 360. they would take the approach of choosing the wii as it is different. now a wii gamer would probably think the more expensive a console is the better as that is why they bought a wii and not a 360. so I know alot of wii gamers also have ps3's rather than 360s.
onto handheld,psp and ds. not the iphone. ds is winning yes. there is a large audience of casual gamers, i.e. kids, fully grown adults and elderly. kids will nag their parents all day long so they can get a wii or ds. there are more children about therefore more nintendo sales. but does that make nintendo better than microsoft just because there are so many spoilt kids in the world? psp is better in some ways but has recieved critical acclaim but thats because of the lack of third party support. now whos fault is that? the psp has more mature games and the ds has more kids and casual games. sony have always been mature about gaming and they dont intend to stop but it isnt their fault that the larger audience today is the casual gamers sector. Microsoft is relatively new to the gaming industry and has learnt from both nintendo and sony. i say they are new as i dont count windows pc games. anyway, way back from the nes to the n64 and the gamecube, nintendo has been causal, about party games or about just playing an hour or two in your spare time, not shooting the hell out of bad guys at 3am in the morning. thats sonys job to provide us with gory and hardcore action and realistic racing and sports games.
Why do you think microsoft is winning(kind of). With the not so recent price cuts making the 360 arcade significantly cheaper than the wii, microsoft has appealed to the casual gamers lately. with the introduction of all these adverts about downloading movies, music, playing music games, the 360 has grabbed many of the wii audiences. not kids only but i mean, more girl gamers, gamers that havent played games since they were kids in the n64 or sega mega drive age.with the project natal coming out with groundbreaking technology, is there a future for the wii? they will go down dramatically in sales. but the ps3, mighty ps3, what will happen to him? many gamers that are on ps3 have been loyal since the ps1 days. iw s a ps1 gamer and then a ps2 gamer but... i moved to 360. someone tell me why. just because the ps2 is thegreatest console in the world doesnt mean the ps3 is. but still the ps3 will always have its loyal fans which is good cause sony doesnt deserve to get kicked out, if it has more third party support, improved online functions and connectivity and less lag, a huge price cut, the 360 would have some tight competition. a world without sony ps3 would be boring. imagine a 360 dominated world, it would suck. i am a 360 gamer but there always have to be two sides to any industry.
so back to the point its not about sales all the time its about what audience you have and how big it is but that still doesnt make a console perfect. There are other factors such as depth and lifespan to be considered and graphics of course.
