Sony Computer Entertainment Europe has hit back on the criticism On the PS3 suffering saying that it is unfair to compare both the Wii and PS3 when "The Wii is a sub £200 console and does one thing pretty well. Compare that with a £400 piece of hardware that plays next-generation games, allows users to access photo files and has built-in blu-ray technology". Interesting statement by Sony.
It also says Sony has a big plan during Christmas, which should make a huge impact on the sales market.
It seems its a combination of the PSP and PS3. It should turn out to be quite good for sony fans.
Sony Computer Entertainment Europe (SCEE) has hit back at criticism that its PlayStation 3 (PS3) console is suffering from sliding sales and revealed it is harbouring treats for gamers up its corporate sleeve to conqure the all-important Christmas market.
Nintendos Wii console is currently riding the crest of a wave in terms of market share, leaving both Sony and Microsoft in its wake. But Jonathan Fargher, SCEE representative, said it was wrong to pit the Wii and PS3 against each other.
The one thing we have always done with the PlayStation is stick to our business strategy, he said. We keep an eye on the competition, but it is unfair to put the Nintendo Wii and PS3 in the same category. The Wii is a sub-£200 console and does one thing pretty well. Compare that with a £400 piece of hardware that plays next-generation games, allows users to access photo files and has built-in Blu-Ray technology.
Many people have said PS3 is not doing well, but in nine weeks we have sold more than one million machines in Europe, which is faster than the sell-through rate of the PS2. The PS1 and PS2 sold 115 million machines worldwide, so we are confident of the PS3s performance in time, he added.

Yeah, I see why Sony's marketing scheme is eating up the competition this gen.
Truth is your p***ed because the Wii is wiping the floor with the PS3 GLOBALLY.
Cheer up 2nd place aint so bad.
The wii is lame they have two things going for them.
1.price
2.wii remote.
Other than that it sucks.
Oh and last time I checked. The DS was blowing the PSP away in sales and games.
Read my ending statement.Duh get it straight. Its the main reason and point of this article.
And the PS3/PSP are NOT failures, a failure is a system that cannot please the consumer at all so I ,for one, do not regret shelling out half a grand for it.
Of course, what fanboys always do is that they start comparing it to one another and the ego bullshit sets in, no console is a failure because they have all been able to please the user one way or another.
I was making a very broad generalization in an attempt to be funny while I got my point across. In more specific terms, Many articles, even if they begin by congratulating the Wii's commercial success, go on to doubt its staying power, comment on the graphical inferiority, or complain that it is one dimensional.
Jesus that sounds wrong..
