Nintendo's Wii Thrashing Playstation 3

Small is beautiful, the less powerful Nintendo Wii outsold the mighty Sony Playstation3 by more than five consoles to one in Japan and in the US the figure is about 4 -1, putting Sony’s mighty graphic processing power to shame.

Some of the possible reason are:
- Lack of games
- The high price

But then again, these consoles are only into their first year cycle and more to more, remember that Nintendo’s Wii is going after a totally different market, where else Sony Playstation 3 is for the grown ups.

Kaz Hirai Sony claims PS3 shortages are inevitable

For those that are waiting for the release of Playstation 3, wait not. According to Kaz Hirai, Sony claims PS3 shortages are inevitable. The schedule release for Playstation 3 is on November and with 3 more months to go and no production on the line, Sony need a miracle or yet another delay? This would be the best christmans gift for the guys at Xbox if Sony were to postpone the launch of Playstation 3 again.

“Even if you do the simple math you’re talking about less than 700,000 units per territory, per major territory, between launch and the end of the year. So even if there was some fluctuation - you give Japan more, you give the US more, what have you - you’re going to end up with some shortages,” Hirai continued

Kaz Hirai is confident that Sony is able to deliver the 2 million unit by November, maybe they have everything ready except for a few components, possibily the blue-ray player. I believe all they have to do is assemble the components when the essential components are ready. Don’t let us down Sony, I have to love for Microsoft and anything they do, its to kill of competition.
