Nintendo crushes Sony on their home turf
It’s no secret that Sony’s gaming division is suffering under the weight of Nintendo’s Wii-volution. Nevertheless, it’s still a bit shocking to hear the following statistic: The Wii is outselling the Playstation 3 in Japan by a margin of 5 to 1. For the month of May, that translates into 251,000 Wii consoles to a paltry 50,000 PS3’s. That’s one heck of a margin. Nintendo is destroying Sony in the portable gaming market as well, with their DS outselling the PSP by the same 5 to 1 margin. It’s seems less and less likely that anything short of a massive price cut will allow Sony to salvage their rapidly crumbling gaming division. Good luck Sony. We wish you the best, but you’ve got a long uphill battle ahead. Best start hit those "performance enhancing drugs" quickly.

My wife wants the Wii, but we have a ton of XBOX games that will continue to be used if we opt for the 360. My son wants the 360 too…Some of the Wii games I’ve seen look okay, but some of the graphics appear weak.

reason is simple. sony is going for the all in one ultimate machine that cost like crazy and dosnt do well its main purpose. xbox360 dosn’t even play old xbox games.(keep your old xbox)
the 360 overheat because of missplacement of powersupply. and a bunch of other things such as overclocking a e4300 to 3.2 ghz is higly dengerous.overheat.seriously stay with the cie. that cares about you.nintendo.microsoft and sony should burn in hell. thank you.
