Microsoft sides with Nintendo in fight vs Sony

[MuGen]

the whole concept of 1st, 2nd, and 3rd is mostly and solely based on units sold, and not profit margin. I probably would agree with you, if you turned in sole profit margins Nintendo would probably be in a clear first.

but according to units sold, PS2 this gen was the clear number 1 with Microsoft in 2nd and Nintendo in third.

I honestly don't think PS3 would so easily slip down to third this generation. It's got a bunch of fans that are dying to purchase it, and as one of them the price has not shaken my resolution. I mean, there are those who think it's expensive and overpriced, and there are those who see it as a smart purchase, considering what's in the machine.

If your into games and just that, I'd say get the Wii........ but I've always been a very technological person and always loved having the latest... so spending $600 on a PS3 with a Next-gen blu-ray player and all the other bells and whistles is a good bargain for me, and not just over priced. Later developers will make good use of the 50 gig BDR's and eventually it will present Microsoft with a huge problem as Developers flock to the BDR to create more extensive content and compelling gameplay. Microsoft will now have to add an HD-DVD peripheral which according to analysts could be another $199... now add that on top of the premium Xbox 360 and you've got yourself $599....

Now... spend another $200 on a HD-DVD add on, or spend $600 initially for a great console with an HD disc reader already, along with connectivity with the PSP and don't forget the possibilities of having LINUX on the HDD. Can you imagine the dev tools that could ship with games on the PS3?
