that a lot of what I was going to say cm but damn i was soo tired last night I quess i was rambling on about
nothing happens alot though.
See what made me change my mind about SOny totally bombing was the last time I went to town, even with Wii dominating in sales and what not, it was still a Playstation world out there, and even KNOWING PSP is not selling as much as DS you ant tell that to anybody, there is MORE PSP and PS3 stuff on the shelves everywhere than Wii and beleive it or not that makes Nintendo look bad in the public eye.
This is when it hit home Ps3 still had a chance, my friend has been looking for a Wii since day one, hasnt been able to find out yet, we doesnt just want one for hisself either want sot get one for his family so he can have his own and they can have thiers, he live on his own so it works out better that way too. Anywyas he currently has a 360, nwo we went to town just 8 days ago and went shopping for a Wii, we hit EVERYSTORE and not only were they non existant, the controllers and games were like nowhere to be found, and beleive it or not a *LOT* of people were commenting on how Nintendo must have already folded. Now thats silly but public perception can mold a console generation.
Now getting back to my story, we hit EVERY SINGLE store in town that sold electronics, games, toys everything. Finally we gave up, and I noticed, didnt point it out but noticed every where we went the Ps3 area was healthy and over stocked, now I tend to think that would mean they arent selling out, but eevry store still had 1 per customer signs on all the ps3 stuff and even had ps3 stuff covering up wii stuff!
My friend stopped and looked at a ps3 for like ten minutes saying since he still cant find a wii almost three months latter he might as well geta ps3 and screw nintendo, this guy who had a GC and nothing else last gen, has a N64 and didnt touch ps1, and now has a 360 only for xbox live and came that close to caving in and throwing Nintenod out altogether, and he isnt the onlyf riend Ihave who was blown away by the wii who is so tired of looking for one that has started cnsidering ps3 since they *are* available. THAT is sonys BIG advantage riight now like it or not, public perception, the sales mght not be there but a lot of people will grab a ps3 out of haste due to impatience.
I managed to talk my freind out of it cuz he hates sony, and he decided to grabb some 360 games instead but i was shocked to see him come so close to caving in like that and to tell you the truth if I hadnt gotten my wii on launch adn ws still hunting for one I would have goten a 360 by now and said Ill get a wii latter. It *IS* affecting them sure the sales are strong but that could all change and the market is ripe for change. Its too early to tell either way but if you gotoa store and EVERYTHING says Playstation on it and Wii is crammed in with GC that doesnt look good for Nintendo. Plus no one knows what kind of games they do have in they have in the works, we knowit takes alot to develop for ps3 but Sony has the resources to get gamews made when they need them if they wanted to.
Not only all that but this is the time of the year people *have* money to spend and is when the sales will matter the most because of the droughts. If Sony can pick up some tax time sales they will be on thier way to set themselves up. I hope that they fall I REALLY REALLY DO, I just have to be realistic because Sony KILLED my favorite game makers and I can see they are trying despperatley to kill Nintendo.
