The way the consoles are compared here appears to be on the performance of the hardware. I'd say the PS2 is closer to performance to the Wii than the PS3 is close to the performance of the Wii. Afterall the PS3 has 2Teraflops of processing power. Of course how the PS2 stacks against the Wii in HW makes 0 difference to the market. They want the games they want. They see the PS2 as old and Wii is new.
The market clearly sees the Wii is better. In the last year VGChartz shows
PS2 118K grown 124K, delta 6K units
PS3 12K grown to 21K, delta 9K units
360 18K grown to 29K, delta 11K units
Wii 24K grown to 49K, delta 25K units
The evidence is here the PS2 is a dying platform. I think the $99 lower price will help convince broken PS2 owners to buy a PS2 and keep out of the Wii. But, if someone is looking for a new machine, the odds show they'll get a Wii. |
