People love the Wii more than the PS3
Hmmm… it seems that the Wii has gotten quite popular nowadays. In fact, people have been smitten by it so much that they prefer it over Sony’s lean machine, the PS3.
American Technology Research analyst P.J. McNealy says that Nintendo’s Wii launch was a bit better than people expected, while the PS3 launch turned out to be quite a disappointment. Even New Media Strategies (that’s a research firm, mind you) claims that “many” have opted to switch to Wii, instead of getting the PS3. If ya want numbers to back it up, the said research firm says that “about 49% of online discussions were favorable to Wii, compared with 27% for PS3.”
They also cited some testimonials from impressed Wii customers:
The Wii, says Bryan Clute, 26, of Silverdale, Wash., rates an A because the new remote-shaped wireless controller is “something I haven’t been able to experience before. Clute, who waited in line at a GameStop store to reserve a system, says, “It was well worth it.”David Nieves, 26, of Philadelphia gives the Wii an A-. “Nintendo has definitely gotten it right.”
