Microsoft Corp. sided with rival Nintendo Co. Ltd. on Wednesday in the fight to unseat video game leader Sony Corp., saying many consumers will choose to buy both of their machines for the price of one PlayStation 3.

"Tell me why you would buy a $600 PS3?" Peter Moore, a Microsoft vice president, said in an interview. "People are going to buy two (machines.) Theyre going to buy an Xbox and theyre going to buy a Wii ... for the price of one PS3."
Moore then turned pitchman for Nintendos Wii, the latest offering from the Japanese company that once dominated the video game industry.
"People will always gravitate toward a competitively priced product -- like what I believe Wii will be -- with innovative new designs and great intellectual property like Mario, Zelda and Metroid," Moore told Reuters.

"We have 100 percent market share of the next-generation, and their job is to take that from us," said Moore.
"When I think on everything that weve got going right now that is real versus what Sony promises to do six, seven months from now, obviously we feel very good about where we stand."

The Wii is going to be a nice thing to own, for anybody.  Out of the 3 consoles ive yet to see anything actually revolutionary from Sony or MS.  That controller alone makes me grin.  Pass me me my sword, and let me play  8)

You know why its called a Wii yea?

Its a marketing slant.

Wii = We

"Wii will lead the gaming industry into the future"
"Wii will provide the gaming experience Wii feel will benefit you the most"

Its that crap.

And why Wii and not We?

Because of ii

ii = "2 player symbol" on arcade machines, it symbolises the coming together of people to play the games.

i = very similar to the actual controller.
