Thats just as stupid as the PC vs. Mac commercials that its playing off of.
Its a choice between the next generation of video game console and and a toy that makes you jump arond in your living room like an idiot.
Yes the Wii girl was hot, but thats the point, its a commerical.
Its like they think that people will buy their stuff just because of better advertising.

I would have to disagree with that statement of calling nintendos a toy and ps3 the next generation. IMO the playstation 3 will flop the next generation is where nintendo is going. I have gotten way too many people addicted to the new nintendo. I also have a friend who got the ps3 for christmas. He told me he plans on selling it at this point cause it is crap. He wants a wii. Hell there are a ton of non gamers going out and buying the wii. This thing is getting markets that sony has yet to come anywhere near tapping and Sony is losing 300 dollars for every console sold where nintendo is making money on every console sold. So my stance is if you want a blu ray player drop the 600 get a ps3 if you want to play good video games get a wii

Wii = Less than half the price of the PS3, has awesome motion control and i own one!! Zelda TP is one of the best games i have ever played.
PS3 = Right now all the PS3 is really is an xbox360 that costs a few hundred more because it has a blu ray drive in it and blu rays not readily available yet so no one gives a shit about it. Most the launch games for PS3 look the same as they do on 360 and most of the games were already available on the 360 before the PS3 was released when most ppl assumed that the PS3 was more powerful. PS3 had one or two decent launch games (resistance: fall of man & new ridge racer) but they were nothing spectacular.
Hopefully this will all change in a few months when the PS3 gets some exclusive games that really show off what the machine can do and the console gets launched in the PAL territories and more units for Japan and the States so the yanks stop trying to kill each other just to own one.

riffer madness
dont kniow alot about consoles but how many untis has ps2 sold worldwide compared to anything else,its highly likely ps3 will do the same business....
We are no longer trying to kill each other to "own" one they aren't going for as much on ebay as they were before the holiday so no one cares to actually own it for the games or well I shouldn't say no one there are some who do the only game that came close to intrigueing me on that system was Resistance after talking to someone who owned it and said it wasn't all that great it doesn't leave me much hope for that system it does have a couple of exclusives but nothing that won't end up getting ported in the long run with that said I would much rather have a wii and possibly a 360
When we see new Metal Gear Solid, New Tekken, New Devil May Cry and Final Fantasy XIII it will change ppl's minds about the PS3 and all these games should be out by end of 2007.
And if Blu Ray ever takes off, PS3's gonna become a cheaper option for that.
I think what Nintendo has done is great. They have left the competition by targeting a different gamer. The way I see it, there's really only room for two consoles. One for the Serious or Hardcore and one for the Casual or Semi-gamer. The mistake that Sony has made, in my opinion, is not taking online gaming and internet connectivity seriously early on and they've allowed Microsoft to corner that market. Lets face it Xbox Live is King. Also they didn't go after the Nintendo type gamer early enough. They were concentrated on beating Xbox and they underestimated the Gamecube. Nintendo, at this point has cornered the Family market. This to me, leaves Sony in the middle with no where to go. Yeah sure, the new Metal Gear will be awesome, but that won't send people running to BestBuy to buy one of those thousands of PS3's they've got sitting on pallets in the middle of their stores.
This could turn out to be one of those "How the mighty have fallen" stories.

Yeah it is looking that way too Dumbass, Most ppl just want a PS3 for games, they dont really care about it being a multimedia machine and $600 is a lot of money to pay just to play games especially with Xbox live and the 360 being a lot cheaper and offering the same hi def quality gaming.
Some have already said the PS3 may go the way of the Dreamcast.

I doubt it, but it won't see the kind of market domination the PS2 had. $600 is so much that no console priced that high has ever survived the market. Sony will survive, but their days as absolute market leader are over. If Nintendo can get rid of that retarded controller that has you simulating masturbation just to play games, Nintendo can re-take it's long-lost lead.
For what? For non-gaming features as Sony is trying a little too hard to create an "all-in-one" home entertainment machine. I too only want it for the games and don't give a damn about all that needless extra crap.
The worst part is Sony's stubbornness. in Japan they already did a price cut, but for the US, SCEA president Kaz Hirai said that he thought it was too cheap already, so he refused a price cut. The retarded Hirai has since been promoted to be in charge of Sony's global gaming operations, so now the likelihood of a price cut is slim at best, and if/when the price gets cut, it will be marginal and won't have any effect.

Sony is betting all it's money on BluRay...because putting all their money on Beta worked out so well for them.
I think wii is standing pretty good in the console wars. Last week I went to go find one since I couldn't get one before christmas and thought it would be easier now. But it isn't. I went to 6 different stores and each one was sold out. But they had 3s just sitting there. The game play value of the wii sets it apart from all the other systems. Espicaly when some one that would never play games comes up and says"my brother got a wii with the new zelda and it is awesome." The wii with its motion controls is truly next generation. Sony's tilt control was an after thought was they saw what nintendo was doing since that is what sony does. They take good ideas from nintendo and uses them.

Sony bet on the CD and DVD, and look how well that worked out for them. Beta did succeed by the way. The "Betamax" version became the standard for camcorders and for commercial tape use pretty much everywhere. It just failed to gain any ground in the home entertainment market.
Blu-Ray is cool as hell, but it's just too expensive. Sony really needs to get it's head out of it's ass and start being price-competitive. I am seeing PS3's sitting in stores everywhere now, and I sure as hell doubt that anyone is spending $1000 on the stand-alone blu-ray player that looks like a 1980's laserdisc player: Blu-ray Disc Players
UMD is such an over-priced piece of crap. There's no way in hell I will pay $20 for a movie with fewer features and no extras when I can get a DVD and rip it to a memory stick for less money. Still, for games, UMD is excellent, and holds more data than any Nintendo cartridge does, allowing for games to have much better graphics than on any Nintendo hand-held system.
