"The Wii is more fun,"
... says the Sony General Manager of the Australia and New Zealand branch.
Jam it back in, in the dark. |
I'm just surprised by how expensive things are in AU.

It's in Australian dollars. It's like Canadian dollars, but weaker, as far as i know.
But that aside, yeah, with the exchange i'm pretty sure it comes out to more anyways. That's really nothing different from what they've all been predicting from the beginning. Sony isn't just a game machine, it's an entertainment centre. The Wii is more for games, the PS3 is for everything else, plus games. Idealy, there'll be one of each in each gamer's house. The only thing i didin't already see coming was the lackluster game sales. I guess it's a given, seeing as how i can't think of a single PS3 game that i would go for, maybe everyone else is in the same mindframe. Mind you, the same goes for pretty much any console on launch. This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it. |
What was this discussion even about? Some guy that works for Sony says the Wii is more fun than the PS3. Since that claim can neither be objectively proven true nor false we can just conclude it as a meaningless statement and that he is talking wtfnonsense. Still. Somebody's getting fired. I mean what a retarded thing to say. I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body? You're staring at me like I just asked you what the fucking square root of something. |
Hmm... as much as I love Australia, I am glad I don't have to wait like that. It kinda sucks to have to wait, while almost the rest of the world (At least major centres) get the product much quicker, and cheaper...
It will be interesting to see what is going to happen with the console wars down there. I was speaking idiomatically. |
What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now? |
Taken way out of context. He said that the Wii is more focused on being simply fun. In contrast to the PS3, which has multiple uses and purposes. He's not making a value judgment saying that a system is "more fun", since obviously it's the games that are fun, not the system...
FELIPE NO |
good point, but he still worded it poorly.

Really? I had no idea Microsoft had gotten that much of a hold down there.
There's nowhere I can't reach. |
Neither did I. And with Sony being out of the picture longer, it's not looking good for them this generation. Considering they'll be in the red after season. Costs too damn much to make the system.

Sony/Microsoft still have the monopoly down here. There's no Nintendo of New Zealand, either. It's run by a crappy distributor (and they've recently changed hands, too.)
You would be surprised how many fucking idiots in New Zealand are supporting the 360 "because it was released first" and "because it has a jump ahead of the competition" and now everyone's running around after the Wii. It's hilarious. This country has no perception. The PS2's still doing strong because there's games like Buzz (albeit terrible trash) which take the whole "let's play a family game" thing away from the Gamecube (which died here a few years ago) and into a console which already most people own. The PS3 will probably do pretty well here I'm guessing. Then again, people are either going to ride the hype or they aren't. Check it - $1299 New Zealand dollars for a PS3 for Sony to break a profit. That's fucking ridiculous. I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body? |
As far as the lackluster sales go, that can be DIRECTLY attributed to one specific cause. The Lack of Hardware: Since there is a significant lack of PS3s available for sale, of course not many people are going to get the games either.

Calm down JackyBoy. You'd actually be amazed at what a lot of consumers, especially parents, don't know.

I will be getting a PS3, but only when a good game comes out for it. The only reason for me getting a PS3 is for many of the PRGs that will be available for it. I prefer the Wii cuz its far more fun to play.

As chuckle worthy that article might be, it's a fairly accurate observation. I wouldn't describe ICO as being 'fun', yet it's probably my favourite PS2 game.
