[QUOTE="Liister87, post: 39571, member: 228"] Definatly agree there, except one thing confused me, is the wii's percentage of almost frequent pixel failure due to the CONNECT 24 being on alot, didn't at all effect the unit sales! Which is amazing! The Xbox 360 i would consider out of the race already, they released it too early and have lost out bad on the market, although at the minute it has much superior online capabilities, the Wii and PS3 will definately catch up. The PS3 is badly over priced, but i can see it being a tough competitor in the long run, with newer games coming out and remakes of the older classic games (Tony Hawks, Grand Theft Auto, Gran Turismo, Tekken, etc etc) which were cult classics in the teenage, even 20-30 range, i think it may give the Wii a run for its money in the future, especially when they reduce the original price. I mean look at the Gamecube/PS2 situation a few years back, PS2 was BADLY over priced as well to start with, the gamecube was slightly cheaper and had more fun games, whilst the PS2 was a slow starter, i would say, at least in the british market, it won in the end though. And to be honest i can see the PS3 doing the same, at the minute, don't get me wrong, i love my wii, i don't own a PS3 and don't plan on doing so for a while, IF i do... ... but i have this horrible feeling that after the influx of "big" games that come out for the Wii (Smash Bros, Mario Galaxy, Mario Kart, Metroid etc) it might end up like the gamecube... I really hope not, but it just all feels quite similar somehow to exactly 5/6 years ago. [/QUOTE]
