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.

- 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.
