Microsoft and Sony say to buy the Wii, Nintendo sits back and laughs
Planning on purchasing a Sony PlayStation3? Do you already have an Microsoft Xbox 360 or plan on buying one? Well, Sony and Microsoft also think that you should buy the Nintendo Wii while you’re at it. While both Sony and Microsoft continually take small jabs at each other over various issues (pricing being the most reoccurring issue), they both agree that everyone should buy the Nintendo Wii after they buy their respective consoles.
The biggest issue that is being discussed between all 3 companies is the price of their individual systems. With the Xbox 360 between $399-$499, the PS3 between $499-$599, and the Wii hopefully below $300 (maybe even $200), you theoretically could purchase both the Nintendo Wii and the Microsoft Xbox 360 for the same price you would pay for the Sony PlayStation 3. Since Sony and Microsoft are having a price war right now, Nintendo can just sit back and watch the Wii climb to the top of the video game mountain.
