I agree, mostly. However, Sony hopes to make it's money on games. Eventually as manufacturing costs go down, they make money on the console too. Also, there is more incentive for Sony since the PS3 is a Trojan Horse for new media format supremacy.

Imagine if Blu-Ray wins out and is the movie (and even PC) standard around PS4 time.

I can't see the public going for another better movie standard than the winner (between HD-DVD or Blu-Ray) in only 7 more years. I mean the generation of HD players pretty much matches up against the HDTV standard (except technically the discs can look better than the broadcasts...for now).

Nintendo would still problably remain last gen. The Super Nintendo was great but since then they have been a disappointment.

Nintendo makes more profit selling one Wii than Sony selling 10 million PS3's.

More and Wii don't go together.

Interesting, looks like Nintendo has another success on their hands. Smart move making their machine cheaper and ensuring they have loads to sell on release date.

I might pick up a Wii in the new year so you can add another one to the Wii sales column.

i'll get a wii just for the fact it plays all my ngc games. sad thing is i still won't get rid of the ngc for the simple reason that it plays my gba games on the tv. c'mon wii! make me an adaptor. i'm also waiting for the "regular" controller to cum available.
