Not really.. considering a Ferrari is about 10 - 20 times the cost of a Ford Focus.. Where as the 360 isnt even double the price of a Wii . :)

And ferrari's are reliable :p

Bit of a shock this one really. Didn't take them long to shift those units. wonder how long they will keep shifting for.
 
The Wii isnt a console its a toy, like a board game for a lot of people who are buying it. They only have Wii Sports and thats it and thats all they will ever have for it.

thats not true, it is a console, however i half agree with you, i think a large percentage of people that bought it view it more like a board game.

I honestly can't believe any real gamers could own just a wii (not a ps3, 360 or pc) i think its a fantastic addition to the consoles on offer and i'd love to get one to compliment my 360 for the occasions when i want a quick shallow game or have many mates over. Its an 'and' product for gamers imo not an 'or' product.

Something like that would be better :p

Not sure about the Ford Focus analogy, make is something like a Mini, which has waiting lists and you can't actually just walk into a showroom and drive one away.

Also, make the 360 something like an Alfa 159 V6, then you'd be about right. :p
 
But you can get Wii's in shops now (apparently) :). Hence the Ford Focus.

Though I'm thinking it needs to be a Japanese car against a US car :p.
 
I think a lot of people are missing the point.

Nintendo NEVER EVER said they wanted to compete with Microsoft or Sony, then NEVER claimed their console was going to change the gaming industry and they NEVER said the Wii would be for the hard-core gamers.

Their hopes, ambitions and stratergy was to allow people who hadn't 'gamed' before into a world of enjoyment.

And they have.

If people only own Wii Sports then so what. It's a fun game. For us hard-core gamers it will never be enough but for people who lead a busy lifestyle, having a fun little toy next to their tv that keeps them amused, allows them to have a quick look on the internet (again, not hardcore surfers), the Wii has proved an instant hit.

My mum (aged 61) has bought one, my boss (a busy exec aged 56) has bought one, the neighbour (39 year old guitar maker) bought one as well as Zelda.

Can you imagine those people going out and buying a Xbox360 or a PS3?

Sorry, but time to face facts here. Nintendo have NOT decimated the Next-Gen wars because they were never in it. But like Microsoft vowed to get a PC on every desk in every home (and nearly have), Nintendo vowed to do the same, and it looks like they may just do it.

True.

How about Nissan 350z vs. Caddy Escalade?

So why start a post thats comparing the two console sales and then state they aren't competing?
