People spend thousands of rands on let's say a Mercedes that has the same features as a BMW. Doesn't make the one better than the other. A lot of people buy after the brand name.
 
Well that's not a totally on par comparison. It's rather like people buying performance cars - Some people are happy to buy a Porsche for the prestige, but it's outsold significantly by the BMW M6 which performs much the same but costs a lot less.

Well it was only an example. You get a lot of people buying expensive cars where they could buy a cheaper one which has exactly the same features, or even more.
 
Figures from market analyst NPD suggest that Nintendo has taken the upper hand in America's console war, with the two top-selling games machines in February: the DS Lite (with 485,000 units sold) and the Wii (335,000). The six-year-old PlayStation 2 came next, selling 295,000 machines, followed by the Xbox 360 (228,000) and Sony's PlayStation Portable (176,000). Even Nintendo's Game Boy Advance (136,000) sold more units there last month than the new PlayStation 3, which shifted just 127,000.

Numbers like this will make tough reading in Tokyo, and leave one crucial question up in the air: after the loyalists are satisfied, how many people will want a new PlayStation?

Having a decent gaming lappy and the wii i'm still sitting on the sidelines to see how ps3 vs 360 war pans out.

The Wii novelty wore off for me and still cant understand why the Wii titles cost on average £40 whereas 360 titles £24->£40. Nothing next gen about the Wii, fun when the mates are over but hard on the eyes...
