"The reason for this is that the original Fortran got so convoluted and extensive (10's of millions of lines of code) that no-one can actually figure out how it works, there's a massive project going on to decode the original Fortran and write a more modern system, but until then, the UK communication network is actually relying heavily on 35 year old Fortran that nobody understands." - Flipside

Testament to how badly Sony pwned the competition last gen.

Regardless, what still gets me is how Sony can still be taking a loss on every PS3 sold even with the massive price!? That's just poor design right there.

360 has been out longer. There's no real accurate way to compare the sales of the two.

Its all the fancy features they tossed in.  Unless I'm mistaken it supports all sorts of memory card types, wireless stuff (Bluetooth as well I think?), Blu-ray madness, and all of the R&D and production costs for the really super fancy Cell processors.  I think they went a little wild...PS3 and to a slightly lesser extent the X-Box 360 are meant to be all in one (or nearly there) home entertainment units.  The Wii is just a game console with wireless and a unique and intuitive control system.

Suddenly the parallels seem so fitting...

Too bad Nintendo games are about as much fun as Sean Penn the Birthday Party Clown.

Glad we agree.

Re: PS2 outsells PS3, Wii pwns both
To each his own entertainment, I suppose.  Though a ton of people seem to think that a Wii is more fun than a PS3...

I'd have a Wii if the ****ed retailers in my town would actually stock some for more than an hour at a time. They're still selling out that fast.

this line of consoles is good news to pc gamers. maybe the suck factor will make them go back to their computers. then the games will follow.

Now do you honestly think Microsoft, Sony, and Nintendo would let that happen?

every console is sold with loss... but when you buy a console game, 10 euro's go to the console maker (in this case, to sony), thats why console games are more expensive then pc games

I always wonder why people actually buy Console's.... They are hopelessly outclassed by pc's, and you can't play FS2 on it.

Because the games are equally as much fun (more so in certain cases; I've never seen anything to match Zelda on PC, for example), it's more accessible (sit on sofa, switch on, play), more sociable (perfect example - Mario Kart or Wii Sports), there's no costly upgrading path every 12 months, and the controllers are better for many, many things (especially footie games; and also with the benefit of having games designed to fit them).  It's horses for courses, basically; certain genres work better on consoles than they can on PCs, and you'd have to be some strange & hopelessly blinkered idiot to honestly believe there was some clear cut platform superiority.

Incidentally, the Wii is being sold at profit.  So was the Gamecube, before it.
