So then you would concede that the Wii "Murdered" the Playstation 3, correct? |

@ Mariosaeman You may want to do some more research yourself bud. Worldwide sales figures PlayStation – 102.49 million shipped (Japan: 21.59, US: 40.78, Europe: 40.12) including PSone – 28.15 million shipped Nintendo 64 – 32.93 million (Japan: 5.54 million, the Americas: 20.63 million, other: 6.75 million) Even though some people (you and myself included) happened to enjoy the N64 more it does not mean that is was a more successful console. Not by a long shot. Sony has been mopping the floor with Nintendo up until this last generation where the sides flipped. |

I don't care what anyone says about the market they appealed to or the gimmicks they may have used .... sales are sales and people purchased the machine to play games. They did not murder the competition by any means though. I wouldn't consider selling roughly 30% more consoles murdering the the opposition. Don't get me wrong its a very substantial lead that will not be closed. Selling 3-7 times more consoles is definitively considered a slaughter (which is what the PS1 & PS2 did). |

You know good and well that the Wii and PS3 cater to VERY different markets. The Wii is marketed towards the elderly, children under 10, and people who think that a video game should help them get in shape. The PS3 is for people that like video games. |

I NEVER said the N64 was more successful... It was not a blunder, it was not the Saturn, Dreamcast, Jaguar, or some other piece of garbage. To say so is crazy! Ocarina of time is like one of the best games of all time. |
