There’s lots of clamour on the Internet right now about the PS3 and it’s dismal sales, lots of people are saying that Sony needs a price cut, others are saying that Sony can’t afford to do that right now. So who is correct and what can Sony do?

Well after a long delay (lack of internet connection, busy at work, plain forgetfulness) I bring you final part, this part is pretty subjective, seeing as I don’t actually have a crystal ball and cannot predict the future, however I can see trends and extrapolate, and the extra couple of months have been going pretty much as I expected.

My prediction of the winner is: Nintendo Wii

When I say winner I mean winner, we’re talking Sony PS2, Nintendo DS levels of success, not as some analysts predict a fairly even split with the Wii just in front, we’re talking donination (Nintendomination even), and how do I reach this conclusion, I’ll reveal that after the break.

Okay, we’ve covered the Wii and Xbox 360, now it’s the PS3’s turn, while I have personal experience with the Xbox, the PS3 isn’t even available here yet, so I cannot gauge how it’s doing, but just looking around local stores and online game stores I notice that the PS3 is still available for pre-order after 2 weeks, either Sony has got a serious amount of consoles available, or pre-orders are slower than Sony anticipated, but enough of the anecdotal stuff, onto the serious part.

• Playstation
• Great Games
• HD Graphics

Why it might lose

Okay, the next part, while I’m at it, last time we looked at the Wii, giving three reason why it might win or lose, now we’ll move onto the Xbox 360, it’s a different beast to the Wii, more expensive, way more powerful, and conciderable larger.

Why it might win

• HD Graphics
• 1 year head-start
• Xbox Live

Why it might lose

• Microsoft
• Reliability
• Japan

I’ve thought long and hard about this and have decided to write my ideas down in a series of blog entries, the first 3 parts are going to give the reasons why and why not for each console (Wii,Xbox 360 and PS3), three for each for each console, I may have my own personal bias, but I’m trying to be fair here so each console will get 3 points in each and I wont hold back where I think something was wrong (as you’ll see in this one).

Note: Out of the three consoles presented here I only own 1 of them, the Xbox 360, one isn’t out in my country yet (PS3) and I haven’t got the cash or even found a Wii. I do however own all 4 of last generations (I’m counting the Dreamcast in the last Gen, though it was too early to really be concidered) and envision owning all 3 of this generations consoles.

We start with the Nintendo Wii.

Why it might Win

• Nintendo
• Price
• Waggle

Why it might lose

• Novelty
• No HD
• 3rd Party
