Dear Reader:
EA employee says buy Wii60
A comment left on a discussion of the poor sales performance of the PS3…
I make video games, currently working for Electronic Arts on the latest Command & Conquer. Last year, the prediction was that Sony would win the next-gen war, that the PS3 would be the dominant console, just like the PS2 was.
That is no longer the case. The extremely strong performance of the Wii, combined with the miserable performance of Sony has revised pretty much everyone’s expectations. Right now, most of us here think the 360 will be on top for this generation, with the battle for second place between Sony and Nintendo (and that’s a major shock, as we’d nearly written Nintendo off for the non-handheld market.) Most of us still think Sony will beat off Nintendo, simply due to the older graphics on the Wii, but it’s not a sure thing.
My opinion - get the 360 and/or the Wii. Skip the PS3 unless there’s a big change in the near future. - Dr. Andrew Garrett, EA LA
I am not too sure that we can completely write off the PS3 just yet. What I do know is that a lot of developers are really rethinking their Wii strategy based on sales. As of right now, it’s very good to be a Wii fan.
