The following comments relate to this news article:
article published on 29 August, 2008
Sony CEO Howard Stringer was recently asked if the PlayStation 3 was suffering as a result of the Nintendo Wii's very strong sales but he said it was not despite the fact that Nintendo probably has the "superior business model".
"The Wii is a well-made device that has found a new target group. For a while, we held the same target group with the SingStar karaoke game. But perhaps we neglected ... [ read the full article ]

I should mention this as well most kids play videogames.The younger they are the less money they have.The majority of sells for game consoles originates from kids.I don't know what the ratio is,but yeah kids make up the sells.If I was a parent I wouldn't want to spend the money for a PS3 instead I would buy a Wii for my kid.Its not next gen and I classify it in its own category.To say the Wii hasn't been revised when Nintendo has been around longer than the other game industries is false information.Lets be honest with each other I don't see kids walking around with enough money to spend on a PS3 or an Xbox 360.They mainly rely on their parents to spend the money,and its true a parent is not going to spend the kind of money needed to produce a next gen console.It might not be next gen,but it is cheap and this is the marketing scheme Nintendo used for this console.I admit I'm not crazy about the Wii,but considering how much money it takes to make the Xbox 360 and the PS3 they can't compete in the price range as the Wii without losing profit.When we talk about sells profit plays a big role wouldn't you agree.I don't think MS and Sony are making profit,because they are already marketing their system for less when it takes more money to produce the consoles they make.

and I thought I was a game nazi, then WOW must not be next gen because its not "pretty" enough, BALLCOCKS!
Next gen is whatever they are doing N O W,I will admit the more pretty the more next gen it is, however pretty alone dose not make or break it. And before you diss the WII more try looking up Conduit its gunning for 360 graphics albeit year 1 360graphics but still LOL

Next gen is short for next generation I compare it through hardware.If you look at most game sites they classify consoles in categories first generation,second generation,third generation,next generation etc...Nintendo,Sony,and MS have multiple consoles made that differ by generation.The word nazi and fanboy are smart ass remarks that don't mean jack.

Depending on the context there of ..."don't mean jack"....don't mean sht.=^^=
There are 7 generations of consoles, Next gen generally refers to whatever is most "hip" in the current generation referring to not only what is coming but what is current and oh so popular, if you can't read in between my drunken liens of text popular=pretty *kisshugluff*.
Copyright infringement is nothing more than civil disobedience to a bad set of laws. Lets renegotiate them.

How long did the PS One sell after the PS2 came out? How long did the PS2 sell after the 360 came out? Not everybody buys next gen consoles, not everybody wants them.

It means more than that I think ZippyDSM as in it can be used for next generation of people.Not necessarily current,but for the future as well.I agree with that statement sammorris not everyone buys a console set for the future.

2 pages of nothing but bickering going on.
L-Burna see if you don't like, your going to diss it no matter the facts.
the Wii is innovative, and has majority in market sales.

I wouldn't call it innovative,but I agree it is popular and is leading in console sells.Nintendo is more likely to do a console revision before the PS3 and Xbox 360.I've already gave my input on the subject even if some of you dislike what I said.You can pull out what you like and dislike,but the fact is anything said that degrades this console is unacceptable from most of you.

Why is the word fanboy being used constantly everytime people comment on an article discussion about consoles?
I think I'm gonna start posting questions everytime the word fanboy is used to understand it better.Its being used quite frequently and must be better than actually posting something useful.No offense canuckerz,but I'm almost positive you can contribute something better as in more thought to your post besides the fanboy comment.
I'm just tired of people making their own mini flames in every news article. What other word could I use to describe someone who posts how much the ps3 sucks and how the 360 is so much better when the article is about the interface between nintendo and sony's market. And my fanboy comment was towards doomlight in this case, just so you dont think I ment it towards you somehow.
And imo the reason Sony isn't worried about the wii is because their target audiences are almost entirely different which I'm sure as been said before although more elaborately. Nintendo just has a bigger however different target audience.

Thanks canuckerz that sounded alot better than the last post.I'm sure you catch my drift with the fanboy word it seems like a cop out instead of actually posting something useful.I wasn't trying to put you down or anything,but using words like fanboy or nazi are as ZippyDSM said don't mean sht.=^^=
The more you can elaborate the better I think,because using these type of words for a broad meaning doesn't always catch.

Although this is barely relevant to this article, I'm not so sure on Nintendo being the first to revamp their console. The 360 came out first this gen, and 9GB DVDs are getting a bit small for some games now. I wouldn't be surprised if something has to be done about that within the not-so-near future.

That is true,but you also forgot to mention the update that will enable games to run off the harddrive for the Xbox 360.I think it won't be long until multiple disc games are released,and installed on the harddrive.We will have to wait and see for the Xbox 360,but for Nintendo there is no work around unless the hardware is updated.

The HDDs provided with the consoles just aren't big enough for that though, especially the earlier ones, so if everybody has to buy a new HDD to pull that off I can't see it being too successful.

Its cheaper to buy a new HDD rather than a new console though,and this is a problem with Nintendo.You would have to buy a new console if Nintendo fixed the storage issue and made it High Def.

But they won't. Nintendo don't need high-def graphics, and can make use of SD cards, which is enough.

Apparently SD is not enough in one of the news articles off here Nintendo admits storage is an issue and all the channels can't be filled up.Here is the link to the article http://www.afterdawn.com/news/archive/14908.cfm about the storage issue.
