The Future Of Video Games

Written by Tim on Friday, February 29th, 2008 in Nintendo News.

“The numbers are startling: According to video-game tracking site VG Chartz, Nintendo has sold an astonishing 20.9 million Wii game consoles worldwide, while Microsoft has sold 16.9 million Xbox 360s and Sony has managed to move just 9.8 million PlayStation 3s (PS3).

“Yet before the PS3 launched in November 2006, many respectable gaming pundits were convinced Sony would retain its decade-long domination of console gaming. Sure, the PS3 was expensive, but it was loaded with features, like high-definition DVD playback and a hyper-fast 3.2 gigahertz processor.

“Nintendo’s Wii, on the other hand, was so pathetically underpowered that it couldn’t even display high-definition graphics.” writes Michael Noer of Forbes.com
