I’m just stating the fact that the PS3 came out first. But now that you mention it, after the short-term initial hype PS3s were far more easily available than the Wii, which was still hard to find in stores a year later while you could always find a PS3 on the shelf.
Perhaps, but the main thing was that the PS3 was too expensive to appeal to the masses the way the Wii did.
But, if both consoles were given away free, which one would most enthusiasts have chosen, in your view?
