The parallels between the Nintendo and Sony new generation consoles war and a title fight seem appropriate. Sony, the reigning champ for the past 10 years in the home consoles space, has put forward a lumbering heavyweight in the PS3. Nintendo, challenging to regain its long lost mantle, has put forward a sprightly middleweight with an innovative new armory of blows in the Wii.

Naturally, in the early rounds the middleweight is going to duck and weave and outjab and inflict some damage on the heavyweight. However, there is still a doubt as whether the middleweight has enough firepower to go the distance with the heavyweight. That said, the heavyweight has yet to land a telling blow. Come March, if the heavyweight is still struggling, and the middleweight has some more tricks up its sleeve, we may see an upset.

All of the other facts he points out in his article you gaming-centric folks already know - how on the surface, everything looks spectacular for Nintendo and bleak for Sony. He cites the good PR and all the demand and sales that the Wii has generated since its launch. The article does however, do a good job of being neutral by pointing out that based on what we have right now, the only conclusive round of this long console-boxing-match that the Wii has won is round 1. There's still a lot of rounds to go.

The article notes that the PS3 still has a lot of potential and power to it and it's all too early to make a call.

Well? Who are you guys betting on? The middleweight or the heavyweight?
Some more positive news from Sony

Default Re: Wii = Middleweight?

I am definatley rooting for the middleweight. I mean they seem to have more of a grasp in what the consumer wants i.e units being shipped. I mean the news and reviews I have heard from the Wii owners (not including Ms. Bex and Crawler) hasd been nothing but good.

I will see what sony is offerering. But will most likely end up with a "refurbished" PS3 when all is said and done. In about 3 years.

Oh and your main page is awesome will all the articles. I like it.
