Comments on: Wii’re Number One? http://www.8bitninja.com/2006/05/16/wiire-number-one/ The professional website of Richard Mitchell, Video Game Journalist Wed, 19 Jan 2011 02:26:15 -0700 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.6 hourly 1 By: Kirby http://www.8bitninja.com/2006/05/16/wiire-number-one/comment-page-1/#comment-41 Kirby Wed, 17 May 2006 02:30:00 +0000 http://www.8bitninja.com/2006/05/16/wiire-number-one/#comment-41 I have a lot of friends who are Sony fans. They have been for years and have told me how much Nintendo sucks. They started asking me, a few days after E3 had ended, all these questions about the Wii. I asked them, "Why do you care about it?" "Well... It's mostly the money issue..." "And..." "And it's really cool." People will buy the Wii because it is different. Most likely, 360 will come in second since it is cheaper than the PS3, and Sony will slip into third. I have a lot of friends who are Sony fans.

We must keep in mind that the average consumer will not likely buy multiple consoles. They will pick one. However, Nintendo is hoping to get new gamers to buy their console. It would suprise me if this happened quite a bit as the new interface may attract new customers. If everyone has a Wii, what will that do to Microsoft and Sony I wonder?
