Is the Wii losing its momentum?
I just read an online article saying that the Wii is losing its ground in the battle for best system. " The PS3 is gaining good ground on the hot selling Wii console in Japan, according Enterbain, Wii outsold the PS3 by a ratio of only 4-1 July. We say "precisely" because in June, the ratio was 6-1 in favor of the Wii. "It seems http://shop-video-games.blogspot.com/2007/08/ps3-gaining-ground-wii-in-japan-outsold.html as Japan is beginning to see clearly. And soon, the rest of the world. And the PS3 is just beginning. Wait until more games start to be released.
Yes, people were attracted first by its cheap price and motion sensor. So far it has been more far-fetched, but only time will tell if it becomes much more than that. The PS3 is starting to launch an attack of great games and that is fast gaining momentum as well. 360 is a total failure in Japan, nothing can be said there. I do not expect the PS3 to overtake the Wii in the short term, but as for the 360, have surpassed that by next year. I would say that this year, but the enormous Halo hype remains just ahead of the PS3. The Wii has the potential to be a second system for more hardcore "and so its future is less certain. So yes, the Wii is losing momentum, but the real questionis whether it will continue on this path or choose again.
