skarmachild Posted May 13, 2006 Share Posted May 13, 2006 I think Peter Moore is exactly right. I think Nintendo will be the second system consumers purchase after PlayStation 3." "I haven't had a chance to check out the Wii myself, but Nintendo has a great history of innovation and has always done great things for gaming and long may they do so. But as it relates to our strategy they are very much in a different market. Im not sure why he thinks Moore said that but okay. In short: Whatever you get, get a Wii too.

Hellfire Posted May 14, 2006 Share Posted May 14, 2006 So, Moore recommends Wii, Harrison recommends Wii. XBOX360 owner buy Wii as second console so do PS3 owners and so do intelligent people and Nintendo fans. Plus non-gamers. I foresee success.

Zero Seven Posted May 14, 2006 Share Posted May 14, 2006 Sony obviously saw the message that peter moore gave out "dont buy a PS3, Buy a Wii and 360 for the price of one PS3" and Sony generally just gave out a shittier version of what MS said for the fact that what peter moore said made sense in terms of price comparisons "Wii and 360 for the price of 1 PS3" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nards Posted May 14, 2006 Share Posted May 14, 2006 LOL! This is too funny now. Wii is soo going to be a success Nintendo has to be laughing at this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

guarana Posted May 14, 2006 Share Posted May 14, 2006 sonys press conference was SADDDDDDDDDDDD ........ sadness should be on ps3 not wii (it shouldnt really .. i just wanted to say that cus im a moron).. microsoft , in my opinion de-throned sony at its own game .... i see the market shares for the next gen consoles like this - wii= 45% 360= 30% p$3= 25% Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaijin von Snikbah Posted May 14, 2006 Share Posted May 14, 2006 Of course they are right. The Wii is something so different from Xbox and Playstation, that it warrants a purchase. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smiter Posted May 14, 2006 Share Posted May 14, 2006 Wow. I would never have thought they would say that. But, as everyone else said, it makes less sense than Microsoft's. The point of Moore's statement was to illustrate how ridiculously overpriced PS3 was. Nintendo's PR dept must be laughing! Imagine if they took Sony and Microsoft at their words and printed huge movie-style posters: A picture of the Wii, with two short quotes from MS and Sony bigging-up the Wii.

Sixfold01 Posted May 14, 2006 Share Posted May 14, 2006 MS and Sony have just both realized how delicious Wii is, so they're trying to be nice to Nintendo! BwahAhAHaHa I SAY!!! I prefer 360 at this point however... i could get a Wii and 360 for ONE ps3! Yay, Nintendo rocks my socks off! Looky my new sig!!! BwaHAhAha, ahhhh i'm so bored....

Cube Posted May 14, 2006 Share Posted May 14, 2006 Hopefully, they'll see some point putting some games on the Wii then. (to spark interest in games on their own consoles)..

DiemetriX Posted May 14, 2006 Share Posted May 14, 2006 Lets hope MS and Sonys plan backfires.MS lets Rare make something for Wii. And even sony makes somthing for Wii in hope to steal MS customers. In the end every one buys a Wii. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
conzer16 Posted May 14, 2006 Share Posted May 14, 2006 Nintendo must be laughing themselves stupid at the moment! This is only good news for the Big N! Only thing i'll say is that people WILL NOT buy botha ps3 and a Wii. How can they? It would cost over €1000 including games etc. If Sony fans (not fanboys) see a Sony exec praising the Wii, I can see them buying a Wii over a PS3 cause of the sheer expense of the PS3. (Look at this! Just discovered a typo!! Look what happens if you mistype PS3........PS£!!!!! Hee hee!!!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mario114 Posted May 14, 2006 Share Posted May 14, 2006 Nintendo must be laughing themselves stupid at the moment! This is only good news for the Big N! They must, great free advertising, their competitors are telling people to buy their console, it even fits into nintnedo strtergie, were they said, that there console makes a great second consoles. All this equals more sales. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All this equals more sales. Only thing is, Nintendo dont see Sony or MS as their competitors. The person that buys a ps3 or 360 is still Nintendo's terget audience, because everyone is their target audience. You could almost compare it to the person who walks into a tech store and buys a 300 Watt Stereo - he's still going to want to have a TV isnt he? The TV manufacturers and the Stereo manufacturers are going after the same person but for a different reason. This is exactly what Nintendo are doing. And the couple of days since the E3 press conferences have shown that Nintendo seem to have their strategy down to a fine art. Nintendo aren't directly competing with MS and Sony, but they are going to sell a hell of a lot of video games consoles! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The fish Posted May 14, 2006 Share Posted May 14, 2006 Well I'll be damned! Sony stealing a MS quote now? What else is there to steal? (In fact, I take that back...) What would you rather do? Spend $600 on an Xbox 360 and a Wii, or spend $800 on a PS£ and a Wii? I say this coming generation will split even between Nintendo and MS (about 40% each) and leave the PS£ in misserable last place where it deserves, with about 20%.

demonmike04 Posted May 14, 2006 Share Posted May 14, 2006 Well put both of their statements together, what is the common fact? Its buy the wii! So in both of their views combined, wii gets 2 votes, ps3 and xbox 360 get one. Who's the console every ones excited for? Even the creators? (Although it may just be the obvious 'screw your rival' strategy) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
