Ownage ;)

Not really just read this in the DS section of this site " The tally breaks down to more than 550,000 Wii units and more than 1 million Nintendo DS and Nintendo DSi handhelds breaking Nintendo's previous all-time hardware sales record set by the Gameboy Advance."

did he stat ownage, if there was not a competion?

@Silver - that has to be the lamest comment I've read in a while. Who the hell "figured out" that ball of garbage?



They share GAMES!!!! That is 100% direct competition.

Did a quick Google search, and they seem to support Silver-Tiger and what I asked:



http://play.tm/news/22925/nintendo-not-competing-with-sony-and-microsoft/

http://www.1up.com/do/newsStory?cId+3172276



But I saw an article that seems to go against this:

http://www.industrygamers.com/news/miyamoto-sony-microsoft-have-big-challenge-in-competing-with-wii/



This all deals with Nintendo's different approach to gaming, as Silver already stated. These three articles were all written in 2009, but the first two were before Project Natal and Sony's Motion Controller were announced.

So it seems that before then, Nintendo felt comfy with their own kind of market as Sony and MS sport any similar motion controls (excluding SIX-AXIS). Now that Sony and MS are infringing on the market, Nintendo is interested in the challenge they bring. Though, Nintendo doesn't mention anything explicit about wanting to compete against them.

So what conclusion will I rest at? Nintendo is going for its own market, but Sony and Microsoft are looking into it as well. There's going to be competition among all 3 giants, but the only direct competition there will be is between Microsoft and Sony.

Absolutely hilarious.



One has to wonder if Nintendo said they weren't competing last gen that Sony fanboys wouldn't be going on about their sale figures so much?



Fact: Nintendo, Sony and Microsoft are all competing.

Fact: Listening to PR words over reality makes you a moron. Hows that 4D, dual HDMI 1080p60 PS3 treating you?



They all release casual games, was the PS2 any less of a console because it had a massive shovelware ratio compared to the other systems? Did any of you kids know Nintendo was criticised in the 80's for not being a games/console manufacturer because they casualised the experience back then too, the opponents being people who played Atari, Commodore and PC (as they were) games?

saying that Wii competes with PS3 and X360 is like saying some kid magizine competes with porn... Its just that different.

Really, the games on that console isn't something you're going to be proud of or get excited about.

ok most of ur post might* be agreeable but the part "The PS3 isn't JUST a series of super hyped, poor performing games"... where the hell did that statement come from? i understand that ur not saying that but the only game i can recall which was actually bad is haze... other than that i got nothing... so can u just prove where at least the slightest of that statement came from?

Everyone knows PS3 tries the hardest to make their customers happy..you gotta give them thumbs up for taking such a hard hit for the past 2 years for dropping the price of their console for about a $200 to $300 loss for every system sold......

Any gamer that appreciates a great game entertainment at a dirt low price considering all the miracles the PS3 comes with has got to love what Sony is doing for their loyal customers...........many people are late to realize this but now its finally getting through their thick skull
