  Not that I know ANYTHING about these boxes, but this was tres cool. Too bad they focused entirely on the 360, when the Wii is cooler in many respects (almost wondering if MS paid for the video).

  You’d think so, given their choice of closing shots.

  Still the funniest thing I’ve seen in a while tho’.

  I also suspect a Micro$oft endorsement hidden behind the funny, not that that makes it any less funny of course. Only one endorsement for the Wii though, which is a bummer.

  The Wii is mopping the floor with the P(O)S3 in sales. I see this every day of my work shift; for every one PS3 shopper coming in, at least a dozen Wii shoppers come through. We can’t keep Wiis in stock, while we have an OVERstock of PS3s! *LOL!*

  Yeah, this does seem like a MS made viral thing, but unlike a lot of other ones (look up the I want a PSP for Christmas debacle) this one is entertaining.

  While anything is possible, I doubt that MS made this video. The Wii is cool, and sells well, but it’s not supposed to offer the type of games that the PS3 and 360 do (graphic-intensive action games). With the failure of the PS3, the only alternative is the 360. For the cost of a PS3 you can get BOTH the 360 and Wii, assuming you can find them.

  Is the PS2 (7 years old now) still outselling the 360? It did last year. I doubt Sony would tout the fact b/c it doesn’t help them move the PS3 but it’s a telling fact when considering how many $60 games and high definition DVDs you are thinking about buying, and maybe having to rebuy, in the next 10 years. I still have PS1 games I play on my PS2 and I’m looking forward to busting them out now and then on a PS3 when I finally get one after some better games are out and maybe the price is down a little.

  I think the clip wanted to compare PS3 to a similar gaming console, like the 360 - Wii is just too cool and different

  Anyway… the morale of this video is “Dont buy a PS3″ and even though I got much love for sony for the Playstation 1 and Playstation 2 ( Witch I own and love very much because of all the good games and all ) I have to agree with.

  They litteraly fu’ked up on the Ps3. Maybe Sony will do the right thing and recall the unsold units and work some more on the product. I really hope so… would be fun to see the Ps3 make some sort of comeback in about 1 or 2 years with all sort of cool features that other consoles dont got.
