The Designer's Notebook: PS3 versus Wii - The Designer's Perspective
,----[ Quote ]
| Both have the advantage of being made in Japan, so they'll crowd the
| Xbox right out of that market. In the US and Europe, it's harder to
| say, but I see the Xbox's early start as more of a liability than a
| benefit. They've racked up several million sales, but they can no
| longer claim to be the latest, greatest thing ? especially as the
| PS3 plays Blu-Ray disks out of the box, but HD-DVD is only
| available for the Xbox as an add-on. The Dreamcast got an early
| start too, and look how that ended.

| Sony's embrace of the PS3 as a computer rather than just a console
| and the availability of supported Linux distributions for the
| console will also develop and will likely bear entirely unexpected
| fruit in future.

Sony's PS3 Could Still Outsell Microsoft's XBox 360 in 2006
,----[ Quote ]
| Should the Playstation 3 end up in second place this Christmas season,
| Sony shouldn't feel too badly. The #1 selling console at the moment
| remains the Playstation 3, which sold nearly a million units in
| November, and will probably sell nearly double that in December.
