Respectfully, I disagree. The PS3 is hardly superior to the Wii in every way; the Wii actually tried to innovate with the new generation of consoles, the PS3 dropped its “boomerang” controller design in favour of exactly the same controller they had for the last generation of consoles, except for the six axis ‘motion’ controller which does absolutely nothing, and was nothing but a last minute attempt to copy the motion controlling ideas of the Wii.
The Wii can most definitely holds its own against the PS3, if not on a graphical/technological level, then certainly at a fun-ness level. While a lot of the Wii games are targeted towards a younger audience, that doesn’t necessarily mean they’re any less fun for others. Wii Sports has provided massive amounts of enjoyment for me, my brother, my sister and all our friends. Super Smash Brothers Brawl is awesome, Mario Kart is much more fun than GT can ever be, Trauma Centre is brilliant, and there’s a plethora of other examples for Wii games that are excellent. There’s also Homebrew, which means that my Wii forms the centre of a lot of my home theatre system.
Now, that’s not saying that the PS3 doesn’t have advantages. Its got some good IPs that are unique to the platform like FF (except they released the latest one for the 360 as well?), GT (except no split screen multiplayer?), MGS, Heavy Rain and LBP, to name a few. But despite the amazing graphical capabilities of the platform, the ‘battle’ between the PS3 and the Wii can’t be just ‘won’ on that level; the question comes down to enjoyability and fun, and I think you’ll find they’re equal competitors.
As for the Sony ‘Move’, its a blatant rip off of the Wiimote, to the extent that they’re not even trying to hide it any more. It doesn’t advance the industry any more than it just confirms that the Wii’s move was the correct one. I anticipate a wave of slightly graphically enhanced versions of Wii games.
