I am not saying the Wii is greater in technology then the PS3 or the 360 but they definitely hit the right price point and had the games to release the system. > > Hell Wii is so sold out you can’t even find accessories! its goes back to my earlier point… i think what you’re not realizing about comparing new nintendo with microsoft & Sony is that it has a wider audience…expically the next gen consoles. most young kids…5+ will get DS’s or DS lites over PSP & Wii’s over 360’s & PS3’s due to price & game selection. my wifes sister has 4 kids (1yr old, twin6’s & 10yr old) the twin boys wanted PSP’s & the 10yr old girl wanted a DSlite for xmas. i told her PSPs are a little much for a 6yr old. they all ended up getting DSlites…due to pricing & age oriented game selection. & the same goes for consoles… I bet most parents maybe 75-85% will get their kids a Wii over the other to due to the price & games. nintendo has a broader market…tageting a wider audience = more sales. plus a cheaper price make people decison a lot easier. i bet if you could pinpoint a certian niche like 25-35yr old males…i bet xbox & PS outsell nintendo. & the only reason they are in the running is due to price & the wii’s new intriguing interactive features for adults i think its a decision on xbox or PS & then if you have an extra 250-300 you say …yeah i’ll pick up a Wii too so i can try it out. ALSO… think about TVs… 360 & PS3 need HD…pointless without IMO…so add that into the equation. if you don’t have a HDTV you’re looking @ at least $1k for system & Tv. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/wii/187036)._
