While this is no doubt good news for Sony, it does not necessarily mean the PS3 is more popular than the Wii over this period - how many Wii's would have been sold if there were not the stock shortages on the Wii that are being experienced nearly everywhere ?

Sorry Scottmpamp, but that is a pathetic thing to say. The FACT is that the PS3 outsold the Wii. No ifs or buts, but FACT. We aren't talking a popularity contest but sales figures.

Why can't people just accept that whilst so many people shot down the PS3 even before it launched, that it is now doing well because the consumer does like it and the consumer is now happy to buy one now it's cheaper?

I was not shooting down the PS3 in any way, and like i said this is good news for Sony.
My point is, that as with any information you ever read, you need to consider the whole picture, and not just the bare basic information laid in front of you.
The sales figures for Sony are definately positive, regardless of their comparison to Wii, but the tone of the article was alluding to the fact that this is due to increased popularity over Wii, when if you really think about it, the Wii would probably still outsell the PS3 if there were no hardware shortages.
Not every post on this website is from a Sony/Microsoft fan boy - believe it or not.

Console bashing is becoming more and more boring everyday !!YAWN!!.

give it up. Enjoy which ever one you've got.

I completely happy with my PS3 and will always admit to being a huge fan, but i will admit that these figures probably would have been much different had the Wii not experienced shortages. working in a games store means i get to see the insane demand for Wii's and I totally understand why. Both great consoles but congratulations Sony on a battle well fought.

Just because Sony is enjoying a mild success, it does not mean that the overall figures are any better for Sony.

They still have a tall mountain to climb, due to their initial arrogance and extortionately high price. So, by all means this is not the end of the war.

However, I would argue that the war is really with Microsoft, surely? Since both are still in the 'traditional' games segment, while Nintendo seems to have marginalised/pushed itself out of the mainstream.

I think the main threat here is if Sony and Nintendo battle it out, it could give Microsoft the opportunity to steal away the crown (as Nintendo was doing at the start), while the other two are really battling it out for second spot only.

I agree with farz....who cares? what difference does it make to you. You might have either and be happy with it so just enjoy!!!!!! stop moaning and having heated discussions about it!!
