Sometimes it depends on where you live. I'm in a small town. Means small population, means our one only store doesn't rate the same level of attention as the Toronto retail scene. Then again, we also don't have hoards of fans camping out in front of our one only store, so when our one only store actually gets stock (it actually does), the chances are paradoxically better than anywhere in a big city.
Weird eh.
As it goes though, the whole console thing is often just such an incredible barrage of meaningless hype, fan based bias and counter bias.
I only know this, I have as many friends fans of PS3 as Wii, some have both.
But this I also know. The success of the Nintendo DS is near absolute, where as the only person I know with a PSP, only got it as a pdf reader. He is only interested in DS games. Buys so many he gets preferred status in the local store hehe.
Nintendo isn't the big empire that Sony is. Sony could easily out produce Nintendo if it needed to. Sony doesn't just make consoles and games.
Soooo the fact that Sony is NOT really doing astronomically better than Nintendo, seems to suggest that Nintendo is actually outdoing Sony.
Well at least that is my conclusion.
And so far, I have heard both fans and detractors saying the current scene for PS3 game titles sucks. Hard to sell a game machine to people that don't have cool games to play on it.
Not that I can point to a long list of cool Wii games, I just haven't heard people slagging them.
