Sony: “Wii could be considered an impulse buy more than anything else.”
Blogged in Consoles, Games by Matt on Wednesday January 31, 2007Dave Karraker, a spokesman for SCEA, claims that the Wii does not belong in the same category as the Playstation 3 instead insisting that it’s merely an “Impulse Buy”.
“Wii could be considered an impulse buy more than anything else,” Karraker said. “The frenzy we saw at the holidays has subsided a bit.”
While I’ll admin the Wii isn’t the flashy piece of hardware that the Playstation 3 or Xbox 360 is, what it does do well is bring a whole new style of gaming to the table. Perhaps Mr. Karraker is a bit pissy since his flagship Playstation 3 has bombed out in the market so badly. Then again most consumers don’t want to pay the $599 that the Playstation 3 costs. Hopefully we’ll hear a response from Nintendo in the next few days!
