Expecting great gift demand for children on X'mas, both Sony and Nintendo launched their new generation game systems: Playstation 3 and Wii respectively, after Microsoft Xbox 360.
The competition is evitable. Here is a funny commercial ad which compares these two systems:
Who will win the game? The market will tell us the result. Customers are the judgers of companies products. Statistics shows that, most Wii players not traditional or professional players. It seems this innovation attracts people who just like to try something new. Although Playstation 3 so far are not available on the market, many people already made reservation online, such as amazon.com several months ago. In the other words, Playstation 3 might hold a long demand, but the demand of Wii would die out once people felt tired of it. From economic view, professional consumers' interests last longer than amateurs'. But Nintendo does not think so. They are very confident about Wii, and ambitiously plan to increase supply not only in American market, but worldwide markets as well
Their confidence sounds plausible, because Wii is much cheaper than Playstation 3. The Playstation 3 with 60G costs almost $600. But Wii is as affordable as $250. Moreover, Wii provide players a new playing methods in which players are reallying "doing" something, but not just skill-required finger movements. But some critics commen that their arms feel sour after game. Well, probably, you play too hard.
Another rumor related these two systems is that, Wii uses the same hardware as Xbox 360. This rumor has been clearfied--Wii is absolutely different from Xbox 360.
It is definitely very interesting to revise the competition later.
