This Ain't A Console War, It's a Genocide (Sales Figures! Ooooh!)

This is awesome. I've never been a fan of Playtsation.
I've owned, in my young life, Nintendo, Super Nintendo, Playstation, Playstation 2, and Gamecube. And had many friends with N64 when it first came out.
I actually sold my PS2 to get my Gamecube because the only thing I ever played on it were old Playstation 1 wrestling, Crash Bandicoot, and Final Fantasy games.
Nintendo just makes more fun games. They care about their games being entertaining, not how much the characters in them look like real-life characters. I guess Playstation's fine if the only thing you're interested in is sports and shooting people. But Nintendo's just more fun.

The really shocking thing is that the DS continues to sell like a motherfucker in Japan and the U.S. I kind of assumed that everyone who wanted one of those had one by now, but it seems not.
As for the consoles...I'm not surprised, considering it's a full 5-6 months since launch and you still can't walk into a random store and get a Wii. I can't remember the last time a console was so hard to find, but maybe that's because I was never actively following the availability of the PS2 and 360 when they launched and were highly prized.

What's the point of owning a PS3 if you don't own a 1080p HDTV?
I'll most likely buy a 360 in the next few months. With GTA IV and FFXIII not being exclusive to Sony, my reasons for owning a PS3 have gone from few to none. (Although FFXIII hasn't been announce for 360, what other platform is there for it? Wii couldn't handle the graphics, so the 360 is the only logical choice.)

Yeah, truth be told, the only reason I still want a PS3 is LittleBigPlanet. And even that's getting hard to justify...I was gonna go with the 500$ SKU but now they've discontinued it. Dear god, let there be a price drop in the next 12 months.

Thanks for that, that was exactly the kind of thing I was after, I guess it is fair enough to call me a PC elitist, I work wih computers and spend maybe 12+ hours a day in front of a computer so yeah makes sense. The main computer I own now is fairly high end, I need it to be for some of the work I do, it's an AMD X2 4400, 2 gb ram, only thing it doesn't have is a good graphics card (I have a Geforce 6600 ), so if I was going to make a purchase it would only be a better card.
I guess I'm pretty torn between the PS3 and the Xbox, I absolutely loathe Microsoft so I'm reluctant to get the Xbox, on the other hand it sound like it has some really great games I'll be missing out on. The Wii looks ok too but I dunno one of my friends has one and I've never really liked playing on it, could just be he's choice in games though, the conotrller does seem pretty nifty but I'd still need to buy a new HD/Blu Ray player ifI bought one.
I think I'll just wait until Christmas where the price will drop for all of them, might be more games out for each by then.
