I was unaware of Revolution's release date. Nonetheless, I still believe they have the right position. If they can keep the PS3 buzz at full volume, they can squelch Revolution's introduction, and first-mover advantage is in Sony's court. I recall seeing a report that Revolution would only have 400k units availiable, rather than the 1M figure I heard in the past. That gives Sony an opening to hold on to prospects who would go with either unit, since there won't be a massive supply of Revolutions to draw them away.
And yes, Sony would rather sell out at a lower number for a duration than at a higher number for a short period. They can say "look, we're still selling out weeks after release, despite the competition, because we're the best!" This is not an issue of profit and sales today, it's an issue of marketing. Consoles are cash cows that you milk steadily for a couple years by selling games, not here-today-gone-tomorrow flash in the pans that pay for themselves and pay for the here-tomorrow product that replaces them.

The Wii is definitely going to have 1M+ systems available. The Toys R' Us where they're holding the Wii release launch supposedly has 7,000 of them in stock. The stores the PS3 launched from had 500.
I know that they would rather have them sell out at a lower number for a duration than at a higher number for a shorter period, but I also believe that they would sell out even if they had produced more of them for the launch and subsequent months. Especially since holiday season is just starting. I think that the Wii will sell out at launch and keep selling out for the rest of the year, so when Sony says "Look we've been selling out constantly" Nintendo will just reply with "We've been selling out too, but we've moved a million more systems"

Too much reading, too much of my information being unreliable, for one night. I'll just take a being-wrong this time and wait on the next game system.

If either of you are going to be in a smash wii vid. I demand that "Goldeneye Source Rules" be yelled out constantly. and maybe add .com too.
I will top that, I'm going to be standing in the Wii video holding up this sign:

If you change it to Golden Palace, they'll give you a lot of money.
OT: This board seems to suck at showing placeholders where inlined images live. Usually with images off in Opera I get a box with alt-text in it; everything works that way (avatars, buttons, &c) except this inlined image. >_>

They only reason I would get a PS3 is for the PSP compatibility. What sucks is that you have to update your PSP to 3.0+, and that means no homebrew until it is hacked

Just thought I'd kick start this thread again. So, what does everyone think about Killzone 2 now that there is a demo available, to UK PSN's, and it's soon be hitting the shelves.

Well it's funny reading back up on this topic. I actually do own a PS3 by the way. PSN: mbsurfer Also, as for Killzone 2 I'm downloading the demo now along with Resident Evil 5. Both look promising. EDIT: A bit back on topic from a year or two ago ^^ Nowhere can be seen in the actual Smash My Wii video yelling "GoldenyeSource.com" with that sign above. Check it.

What's wrong with that guy smashing a Wii. I mean if he's got to much money, he better give it to someone who needs it. I dislike this rediculess destruction of something just to get some attention. Did nowhere know about what the guy's going to do?

Well that site probably turned that $300 or however much that Wii cost by 10 fold. If not more.

Anyone tried that Flower game? I bought it today and its great. It's a nice and welcome change from all the killing and beating thats goes on in most games these days. It is surprisignly addictive and best of all calming. http://www.gametrailers.com/player/usermovies/301307.html

Wow, this is an old thread. I remember that video when it originally happened o.O
Also, Having played the KZ2 demo, I absolutely cannot wait to get my hands on it - the demo was way short, but i just loved the whole thing.
