Sony sees Wii and PS2 as competing platforms
the wii is much closer to ERM ITS THE ONLY NEXT GEN CONSOLE IN EXISTANCE NON MOTION NON 3D MOUSE CONSOLES ARE OLD GEN

MOTION PLAY AND 3D MOUSE POINT IS NEW GEN its ps3 and x360 that are ps2 like gamecube like xbox like

there of the same out dated obsolete console concept

wii is new ALSO ON THE IN THE BOX THINKING WITCH IS GOING ON HERE ITS ONLY ABOUT GRAPHICS SONY HAS LIED AGAIN AS Wii IS CLEARLY CLOSER TO X360 THAN PS2 - HD

ITS ALSO THE FASTEST LOASDING STREAMING AND THE BEST CONTROLS OPTIONS OVER ALL AND BY FAR THE BEST BACK PLAY AND VIRTUAL CONSOLE SERVICE

bashing a dualshock is not next gen wiimotes next gen

waiting for ps3 to load is not next gen

graphally put ps2 at 0 and ps3 at 10 on a 0 to 10 graph i would put wii at least at 6 on that graph

and loading times and controls/gameplay wii BLOWS BOTH PS2 AND PS3 AWAY
