Seriously concentrate on the software of the PS3. Pull an Apple and find a way to bring up the performance just by a software update and make it super easy for developers to make games for it.

@saturnblackhole You're absolutely right. The Wii is in a freakin' class of it's own. Big N doesn't even care if they're first in graphics, they'll still rake in the dough either way. Well played, Nintendo.]]>Jan 15th 2010 2:30PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/15/npd-wii-leads-video-game-industry-to-biggest-sales-month-ever/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/15/npd-wii-leads-video-game-industry-to-biggest-sales-month-ever/Jan 15th 2010 2:45PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/15/npd-wii-leads-video-game-industry-to-biggest-sales-month-ever/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/15/npd-wii-leads-video-game-industry-to-biggest-sales-month-ever/ The Wii does not sell because it is "cheap". The 360 arcade costs the same or less than the Wii. And anything that is continuing to sell well after 3 years is not still riding the wave of a gimmick. The Wii sells because it is aimed at large segment of the market that is ignored by Sony and Microsoft. That market includes casual games and young gamers, and older gamers who are not looking for an immersive 3D shooter, or Grand Theft Anything. They want something fun and simple that the whole family can enjoy together. The Wii delivers that in spades. Just because it doesn't deliver the type of experience that YOU want, or that the people who own it do not use it the way that YOU expect a console to be used, does NOT make it an inferior product. If they were competing for the same market as MS and Sony, then it would be inferior. But they are not.]]>Jan 15th 2010 2:58PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/15/npd-wii-leads-video-game-industry-to-biggest-sales-month-ever/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/15/npd-wii-leads-video-game-industry-to-biggest-sales-month-ever/Exactly! Agree 100%.
I tried to get my parents to play 360 or PS3 but they wouldn't give it the time of day. As soon as the Wii came out, they can't keep their hands off of it. Wii is aimed at a crowd that nobody targeted until now. Most people over 40 could care less about the latest HD experience, they just want a simple deterrent from everyday life. when is the last time you saw a PS3 or 360 being used in a nursing home?]]>Jan 15th 2010 3:18PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/15/npd-wii-leads-video-game-industry-to-biggest-sales-month-ever/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/15/npd-wii-leads-video-game-industry-to-biggest-sales-month-ever/Jan 15th 2010 4:11PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/15/npd-wii-leads-video-game-industry-to-biggest-sales-month-ever/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/15/npd-wii-leads-video-game-industry-to-biggest-sales-month-ever/Jan 15th 2010 10:54PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/15/npd-wii-leads-video-game-industry-to-biggest-sales-month-ever/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/15/npd-wii-leads-video-game-industry-to-biggest-sales-month-ever/Jan 15th 2010 1:50PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/15/npd-wii-leads-video-game-industry-to-biggest-sales-month-ever/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/15/npd-wii-leads-video-game-industry-to-biggest-sales-month-ever/Jan 15th 2010 2:39PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/15/npd-wii-leads-video-game-industry-to-biggest-sales-month-ever/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/15/npd-wii-leads-video-game-industry-to-biggest-sales-month-ever/I think he's referring to the fact that If you were to go out and buy a 360 today, the chances of getting the RROD are pretty much slim.
(Or within the acceptable failure rate that every company sets)

With millions of first and second gen consoles sold, you'll be hearing about the RROD for years to come. Kinda like how even though windows 7 has REALLY been out for almost a year, you still hear alot of people complain about vista.]]>Jan 15th 2010 3:14PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/15/npd-wii-leads-video-game-industry-to-biggest-sales-month-ever/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/15/npd-wii-leads-video-game-industry-to-biggest-sales-month-ever/Jan 15th 2010 3:19PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/15/npd-wii-leads-video-game-industry-to-biggest-sales-month-ever/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/15/npd-wii-leads-video-game-industry-to-biggest-sales-month-ever/Jan 15th 2010 8:02PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/15/npd-wii-leads-video-game-industry-to-biggest-sales-month-ever/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/15/npd-wii-leads-video-game-industry-to-biggest-sales-month-ever/

I start gaming on arcades(Double Dragon, Final Fight, Street Fighter, Mortal Kombat etc), then I went to SNES with Mario World, Donkey Kong Country etc. But now I'm 30 years old, even though that I think Wii had some fun games like Wii Sports and Wii Kart, it's the least console that I touch, I spend more time even on my DS than on my Wii. When comes to games, I like killer graphics, that's why my handheld of a choice is PSP and my console is a PS3.

I'm not into multiplayer games, so Live for me it's not a necessity.

But i think it is best of the 3.

xbox360, then control have.. how many buttons?, 10, 15?, 5 axis?. it is INSANE!. And for some games you must use almost all buttons.

The same as the ps3. The plus of the ps3 is that is also a blu-ray player and it is fine.

In opposite, most wii games are just "shake it or point it" and it is fairly easy to play.

You must known that the so called group of young adult (20-40 year old) count, while the group of teens.. they don't work, i.e. they don't have a direct acquisitive power. And several young adult group have small children and this fit perfectly for those Mario games.

I don't think so.

It is not quite correct that most people purchase another xbox360 just because the RROD since it is under the warranty.

But, it is not under the warranty a banned console and most hardore gamers (teen and brats) owns 2 xbox360, one for play online and a modded console.
