So after christmas, the Wii is fast approaching 20 million and Nintendo still can't keep up supply for demand levels...

The PS3 is still struggling to hit the 10 million barrier although sales over Christmas look to have been very good, and the 360 sales look rather crap tbh, they dont seem to have improved with Christmas by any degree.

I notice the DS is still more then double the PSP, I wonder if the PSP will ever catch it, its surely not helping the fact that Nintendo have been advertising the DS heavily on TV over the last 6 months and yet Sony seem reluctant to advertise either the PSP or the PS3 at all on TV.

Mind you the thing thats probably pissing off Microsoft and Sony, is they are still selling all their consoles at a loss on each unit, whereas both the DS and the Wii are making nice profits for Nintendo, even moreso with their prices remaining stable and production costs lowering.

I got a DS for XMas, it is fantastic. Not really into mario myself, more of a zelda player.

heres the thing, why shell out for the higher spec ps3 (not available in the shops atm) when you aren't going to use its extra gizmos? the memory card slots, nice to have but i rarely use things that use them, other than my psp. you still get hd games, a great system with a blu ray player, but at a decent-ish price! (guess who bought a ps3, only the 40gb version though) also sony are selling a 80gb version in the us and japan at the mo, which we may see.

The 40GB doesnt have PS2 compatibility, meaning current PS2 owners arnt as interested as they might be.

Lack of USB ports is also a potential issue given the future expadability of consoles.

Is the difference in price between the 2 version of the console greater that the price of a second hand ps2?

I think so yes, the second hand PS2's are cheap in Game.

I find it hard to believe that the PS2 hardware costs more then a few quid to put on the machine nowadays!!
