Sony recently said that the PS3 will not receive any price cuts in 2008.

I still cannot understand why so many people buy that piece of crap called the PS2.

Also, why do people buy the Wii like it's an addictive drug. That piece has such a weak processor. Nintendo is soooo laughing all the way to the bank each month. They probably spend next to nothing for production. I have the DS and love it but wow, why does it keep selling like that. People shock me. Maybe they should bring the Atari back out and charge 200 bucks for it. I'm sure people will blindly buy it as well.

One game developer recently compared the Wii to the flu. Someone you know gets it and you play it. You get really excited about it and have to have one. Around that same time they experience all three games worth playing on it and get burnt out on it. You find one and start playing it, while your original friend's machine just collects dust. You invite some new friends over to play it and the cycle repeats.

Besides having the most innovative controller since the analog stick, it has games that are entertaining and fun to play, and it's reliable, (did you hear that Sony and MS???????)...

For once, yes haters, a gaming console that doesn't need to have bloody and violent games such as Halo (XBOX) or GTA (PS3) succeeds, and all you can say, is that the Wii is like the flu? You have some weak arguments...

I'm still trying to get a Wii from BB, and no luck so far...and 700k+ units? That's big, BIG.

Shame on Sony and MS, even when the XBOX is a great gaming console and the PS3, well, a great blu-ray player...

...

Go Nintendo! for giving us the games that we enjoy...

EDIT: Oh, and the fact that the DS is selling more than the PlayStationS and XBOX combined, is soooo funny...

i got the answers.

weirdos are still buying the ps2... lol to put in their cars and junk.

wii is wii.... you just wanna move around like a monkey. or want your kids to...and did i mention is freggin cheap?

and the 360 moved more gta4's.. which i figured. since we all know when the 360 doesent die... it is the best system.

whats with this weak processor crap? does that make it more entertaining, oh yeah theis game is fun.. only if it had more speed?

yeah i know sony said there wasnt gonna be any pricecuts this year, but when the biggest gameing franchise comes out, and cant even move an extra 50,000 consoles for ya u got some problems. also sony said this was gonna be the year for ps3, i dont think so, with a recession and everything i dont see anyone dropping 400-500 on a gaming consle that has the weakest game lineup out of the 3 console!

Sony said that 2008 would be the PS3 year???

Yep, we're almost in June, and no signs of the PS3 actually outselling the XBOX, much less the Wii...

So super Smash Brothers isn't violent?

The Wii is what it is a toy. It sells a lot of consoles but it's replay value isn't nearly as high as a PS3 or 360 over the life of the unit. Both of which have family friendly games Little Big Planet and Viva Pianta.

Because Smash Bros. is THE trademark game, as Halo and GTA...

Come on, just admit it, the Wii is the best option, it's entertaining and enjoyable, and it is the most reliable console.

I know that saying that the PS3 with all its powerful components is inferior than the simple (uh-oh) Wii, is difficult (the same for the 360), but it is true. Even regardless of the price.

Nintendo came back with a great product, and it is paying off. Just like the CG thread, a nice shiny console won't make up for bad games.
