Wii Tops PS3
December 28th, 2006
Pre-Christmas figures suggest that Wii has trumped the PS3 in the holiday shopping stakes, outselling its rival at the rate of 2 to 1.
However, both consoles sold less units that the Xbox 360, meaning that Microsoft must be starting to feel just a little bit confident that it might be the ultimate winner.
The reasons behind Wii’s outselling of the Nintendo console are clear. Despite being lower spec, having a daft name and not even playing DVDs, it is more fun. The buzz around Wii easily eclipses that of the PS3 and a straw poll of TechSmec Towers confirms that the latest iteration of the PlayStation is perceived as just that - a small step forward, whereas the Nintendo console is a paradigm shift in gaming with its revolutionary control method and a games line up that is created with gaming in mind rather than the latest visuals.
