Japan Votes Wii as the Wiinner
The readers of Famitsu in Japan have participated in several game-related surveys. The results conclude that 73% of readers think that the Wii will beat the PS3, with nearly 70% stating that the console they are most looking forward to is the Wii. A popular disappointment with the PS3 at the moment seems to be the price, with 88.4% of readers believing that the PS3 is too expensive.
PlayStation’s chief, Ken Kutugari, however, defends the PS3 price, stating that, “If you consider the PlayStation 3 a toy, then yes, it is an expensive toy. However, it is more than a toy. It is a PlayStation 3. And it is the only PlayStation 3. I hope that those who understand this will gladly purchase it.”
