I don't care who sells more consoles what matters to me is the quality of item, and the library for the ps3 looks great and im a huge final fantasy fan.

you make a good point but in terms of game output I believe ps3 games will be better than wii only because of the pure power of the ps3. so yes i agree the wii will be more profitable than ps3 initially but just like the ps2 did a few years ago it has longevity and a great library.

true they're making a profit but sony is not in the business of losing money they'll make a profit eventually. I don't have anything against the wii but wait to somebody poke their eye out waving that joystiq who is going to be held liable.

Both systems will sell out but they will still be quite even in terms of money based on the price difference regardless of the 80/20 distribution.
Wii 250*1 million=250,000,000
Ps3(60g)320,000*600=192,000,000/
(20g)80,000*500=40,000,000 for a total of 232,000,000. So you can make an assumption that nintendo must release more than the ps3 just to stay competitive. Fine they will have an 18,000,000 dollar head start but Sony will make that up with other shipments.

All these people that say that 600 dollars is too expensive just don't know the capabilities of this system. You are getting the blue-ray system which is super expensive by itself and your also going to have tivo capabilities which you pay a monthly service fee for so imagine 10-15 monthly for tivo service that equals 120-180 a year times that by the number of years you will have your ps3 and it basically pays for itself. Its definitely worth 600 dollars of course i would love for it to be cheaper but hey i believe its more than worth it.
