Japan Lines up For Wii
But not for PS3 just yet.
And so, we can report today that no one has started to line up for the PlayStation 3 in Japan. This is based on a tour we took today of Tokyo's biggest game shops. That's right, the Bics, the Yodobashis, the Tsutayas, the Sakurayas, the Don Quixotes. No matter where we looked, no one was lining up for the 11/11 launch.
This is a picture of people not lining up for the PS3.
So the number of people waiting in line for a videogame system in Tokyo is... zero, right? Nope! There were actually lots of people waiting in line today as we made the rounds around the city. Only they weren't waiting for a PlayStation 3.
All those people may be standing in front of a PS3 display, but they're actually waiting for a Wii. Mega media retailer Tsutaya started Wii pre-orders on Thursday morning at 10:00, following a quiet announcement a couple of days prior. IGN checked in at the Shibuya Tsutaya outlet at 10:30 and found a line of at least 200 people waiting to pre-order a unit.

people are dumb to buy a PS3 on ebay for those ridiculous prices...but i guess if you gotta have one bad enough....
and for dude who said the Wii only has 5 good games...dont knock what you havent tried. the Wii is the ONLY system that is bringing something new to the table. Nothing about the PS3 changes the way you play games...cuz well, if you look at the control, its the same dual analog like the PS2, minus the rumble (boo hoo), plus the Six Axis wanna-be-but-will-never-be, Wii-mote rip off with only "tilt" functions, no 360 degree full motion sensing like the Wii has.
Developers can put as much eye candy into their game as they want, but hindering the gameplay will break it. every system has its good and bad games.
in the end, software sells hardware

i agree wit u eujin other than one thing.
im actually glad ps3 kept the same controller. its small, simple, nothin outrageous.
the last thing a game system needs are big **** controllers. i mean it'll be nice if they good features/capabilities, but it'll suck if you gotta hold it with two hands then remove one hand to push a button way on the other side. u kno?

nevermind that the Wii only has a few good launch games ... while I have never really liked Nintendo systems at all, I can't deny the fact they always ALWAYS have good games, if not at first than soon there after, and usually those games are Nintendo exclusives
Sony is marketing as a video game consol, and as an "affordable" blu-ray player.
MS360 was first on the scene, was the must have last christmas.
Wii carries nintendo's history with it, being the longest standing hardware and software developer in the gaming consol world.
ps3 is the current "big 3" to support blu-ray. Why would someone pay those prices for a ps3? It's a next gen gaming consol, with sony's gaming liscenses, and happens to be a blue-ray player, cheaper than most of the blu-ray dedicated players.

well, i just think that games should be fun. ill take a game that looks crappy but keeps me up all night playing it than games that look fantastic but arent fun at all. the new wii, wich isnt expected to have graphics that better teh 260 or ps3, will have games that are interactive with its interactive controllers. and they will be bringing back old titles that i used to play when i was like 4 years old which nintendo is famous for doing. plus the wii is expected to bring out games that appeal to teh older crowd like 1st person shooters and driving sim games
