Not sure why you felt the need to add "world more than anime and video game" when I was refer to people buying entertainment, which people do when go out to a sport event or merely purchasing a T.V., which all serve the purpose of entertainment, which would not be needed. If you can point out if I said that in my post or even implied world not more than anime and video games, then please do.

I said that because we're talking about this in a videogame section within an anime forum, seemed only fitting to mention something that we're all interested in seeing as we're here. And yes, people are willing to spend big on entertainment, but people have limits and there are quite a few people who have quite a lot more limits, that's what I was trying to point out.

People can afford the console, which would be my point. If you took into account there was more to world than video games and anime, then you would know that people will buy what they want for entertainment purpose, if they have the money, which most people do.

Okay, think about it this way, the PS2s success came from its value, but this didn't occur until well into th PS2s lifespan when it settled into a very nice price median and had plenty of good games to offer. The PS2's success didn't just occur right off the bat, it took time and price cuts and for people to see that this product was worth buying. It didn't just occur over night like magic, everyone just wanted it and didn't care what it cost.

Wii meeting the demand while PS3 not meeting the demand. Though, not sure how you can determine the demand for the console are even just because the Wii sold three times more than PS3? All I can determine from that would be what I said. Nintendo meeting it's demand for it's product. How you could to conclusion that the demand for both products are the same would be unknown to me. Since there's more Wii out, I mean a lot more Wii out than PS3, it's not shocking it sold out, like you said it's not shocking PS3 sold out since there wasn't that many, the same applies to Wii selling three times more.

You misunderstand, I was trying to point out how pointless it was for you to mention how the PS3 had sold out. Like Rebel, darky and I have said, those who really want a console at launch will do anything to get it at launch, but the real market, the real MAJORITY waits and bides their time to see if the product they're interested in is WORTH their money. I was also trying to point out that I couldn't believe that you saw the PS3 selling out as such a big thing.

PS3 at this point is not worth it, but I have never suggested that it won't be worth any price. When the price lowers considerably, it'll be worth it and people will want to buy it. To clarify, this isn't my opinion alone, this seems to be the general opinion of every casual gamer I know, hardcore PlayStation fans on the other hand don't care if it costs a million bucks, even if they don't have the money to buy it.

The Wii selling for 250? The PS3 would be selling 700? Not sure on the figures, but if you sell 4 Wii in a store, that would be 1000, if you sold 2 PS3, then that would 1400. If there's more Wii sold, it's not shocking or a good indication which console in more demand. You can demand people want to Wii by that, but you can determine the demand for the Wii more or even with PS3 by sell figures alone at the moment.

...what? That makes absolutely no sense o.o

Just in case, not trying to offend, Lynk. Just trying to have a debate since I haven't had one here in a long time. If you find what I'm saying insulting by any chance, then I apologize. If I came off rude, I didn't mean to do it. Just enjoying the discussion.

No, none of this was ever considered to be insulting at all, don't worry Eva, nor was I trying to be insulting to you, in fact it never crossed my mind either way.
