They're calling for the Wii to be first, followed by the PS3 and then the 360. Nothing unusual, but they wrote an article about it so it gives you something to read and or discuss.

I wonder if this factors in any price cuts for 360 or (probably not) PS3. Honestly, I really don't get why people have changed their tune about the PS3. Best I can tell, it's just the Blu-ray drive. I absolutely HATE the controller...cannot say this enough. Whoever designed that damn controller is an idiot. It forces you to use the "claw" grip if you want to use both analogs. Then there's the whole loading issues...that annoys me. Plus, all the asinine statements their execs made...I didn't forget about all that. I'm actually quite curious why peoples' opinions have changed...anyone?

I haven't heard this claim before, I wonder if it's really true? If so, it would put some merit into their speculations. That the 360 is for FPS and PS3 is for non-FPS is largely a misconception, which both parties seem to address. The Wii racing ahead on full steam seems like a given fact. That too might change, although not likely. In many ways the Wii has the same target audience as the DS, and that won't stop selling.

Yeah, it's not like they aren't TONS of non-FPS games on the 360. This notion that it's only a FPS console is kinda dumb. True, it has a good number of AAA FPS titles, but so what...it's got plenty of other great games, as well.

Sounds about right... the Hardcore are starting to get peeved at the unreliability of the Xbox 360, and PS3 is the cheapest Blu-Ray Player and has a similar library to the Xbox 360. And Wii is of course the hot product.
