none, just walk
i think it could be partly down to the lack of ps3 consoles though
Nintendo's revolutionary Wii, launched yesterday in the US, has already sold more than 650,000 consoles, shifting over twice as many as Sony's PS3.
Obviously, Wii's huge numbers are largely down to a bigger supply of available consoles than Sony managed for PS3's launch last week - if everyone who queued up and braved the utter madness had been able to bag a PS3, it's likely Sony would already be well on the way to catching up with Microsoft, who has currently flogged more than seven million Xbox 360s worldwide.
But it's promising news for Nintendo; Wii is a brave experiment in gaming, which now it looks like being a successful one, especially since Nintendo is already making money on each console it sells unlike Sony, or even Microsoft who probably won't see a penny of profit on 360 until next year.
In the end, though, it's all down to the quality of the games. If Wii can attract the same inventive, engrossing games that have made DS a huge success, while making intelligent use of its impressive motion-sensitive controls and simultaneously drawing in the legions of non-gaming public that Nintendo is keen to target, then Sony and Microsoft might have a real fight on their hands.
cant wait for a wii
