Wii Online Play IS Free Despite Sony Claims

I all so think they are trying to get back at Nintendo because of the hand held war that Sony are losing in a big way like for every psp that is sold 3 ds are sold which is making the third party developers go to Nintendo not Sony and the same with the home console 360 and wii are getting a lot of developers make games for them and Sony has always been a bit spoiled and they can not cope with this
Bad luck Sony stop trying to cheat

Gah, -5 cool points for double posting.
And -10 cool points for basing a post on random numbers.

Your ass will be grass. These people here love their numbers. The DS is doing really well worldwide, but the PSP is doing well in Europe.

But to say Sony is pissed about "losing" to Nintendo. They took, what? 40% of the handheld market from Nintendo, which prior to the PSP, had 99% of the market. Technically Nintendo is still "winning", but they "lost" quite a bit.


Shame on Sony though for blowing things out of perspective. Honestly, if you have to start ripping at the competition like that, then what does it say about your confidence in your own product?...

Yeah, philneedsaclue...

Thats like saying MS "lost" the last generation console battle...

Sony came into Nintendo's home turf, and didn't embarrass themselves...much. Nintendo would certainly be happier absent the competition.

Is Sony displaying the moral turpitude of the Catholic Church covering for its pedophilic clergy? Yes. Do they need some ulterior motive involving handhelds? No, I rather think hawking the PS3 is reason enough.

i must admit, though, in a fair price comparison (not one dictated by sony, naturally) you really can see that sony are taking a massive hit financially selling these things

but personally, i dont need nor want hd-dvd or bluray films and ive seen no evidence that the blu-ray disc gives the ps3 any kind of gaming advantage so a premium xbox 360 w/o any wallet stinging, subjectively superfluous next-gen trojan horse will do me fine until theres a good enough reason or two to buy the ps3 without feeling mugged

ie. some brilliant exclusives and a huge price drop

Nope, I'm saying that on a feature for feature comparison between the two consoles, counting the browser as part of the on-line service is not too wild a comparison.

Otherwise you have to add another column into an already "too hard for store clerk to remember" comparison sheet to separate the web browser from the on-line service.

Of course, then Sony would be able to say that the 360 doesn't have a fully-fledged, official web browser. They seem to have missed that opportunity.

Basically, the point is that the comparison chart was aimed firmly at the 360 and the Wii was only added to slightly deflect the Microsoft lawyers if possible. This may turn out to be a vain hope, since there are rumblings from Redmond of legal action. Not that I think they have much of a case since all the prices are official and the only contentious issues are the use of the word "requires" without explanation and the aforementioned Wii on-line service note.

the word 'requires' is a niggle for me, the purposefully inaccurate 360 pricing and the purposefully incorrect Wii Online pricing is much more serious in its dishonesty

in the scheme of things its likely not a big deal but sony keep pissing people off like they can do whatever they want no matter how underhand, id love to see them get their pants sued off
