In your opinion,which of the 3 next gen consoles is starting to die out.
EDIT:Sorry I forgot to add PS3,could you add 'Surely everyone knows its PS3?' to the poll options please?
I've tried to change the poll for you but at the moment it's given me an error, I've got the development on the job to fix it - so once they've done that I will add it for you.
I think it's got to be the PS3 really, don't you? I mean I'm currently looking to buy a HDTV and they are giving away PS3's with HDTV's so that kinda shows you that they are trying to get their numbers up!
According to nextgenwars.com This is how it stands as of this second.
360 consoles sold
12,731,717
PS3 consoles sold
5,453,741
Wii consoles sold
13,177,587
The three consoles all offer very different experiences, and there is no mistaking the PS3 is struggling to compete with the 360 and Wii. While Nintendo has pulled in a new crowd of gamers, Microsoft has got all of the hardcore gamers with a vast selection of chart topping titles - however PS3 is yet to unveil its true talents...
Its a shame, because its a powerful console, but there is an alarming lack of killer titles available for it, and if that doesn't change, nor will the PS3's success.
The Wii has been a runaway success, but can is sustain this? It might be on 1000s of Christmas lists, for the time being, but so were yo-yos... Will there be a constant stream of titles? Lets hope it doesn't stop with Mario Kart Wii next year.
It looks like the trend of the casual gamer as social change occurs is here to stay, but always in the form of the Wii? Will Nintendos fan base continue to show brand loyalty in the future? A year from now, things could be very different.
