Harrison said in a recent interview that the Wii should learn from PS3.. what do you think is wrong with the Wii what the PS3 did right..? and dont say online because obviously that is something the wii should learn from the 360... also i think the bold statement "Graphics" is kinda inappropriate, since the Wii sold well because of its pricepoint (which was only possible because it had **** graphics) Well anyway.. I think the Wii should have some original downloadable content the PSN has by far the best line up on that (overall the downloadable content on the wii is better IMO, but original content.. not so much)

More games? I know the Wii's got a great line up coming, but it's not quite like what the PS3's got.

PSN does not have the best line up, it only has a handfull of games.  But anyway, I think Wii should have been able to do hd graphics, hell, the Xbox could do that.  Ok, something that's not graphic related, more orginial games, less franchies

well the wii will have some good first party games, that will sell well regardless the question is whether Nintendo can lock up some solid 3rd party support like sony did last generation and is continuing to do

The games is the main issue. I don't want to sound fanboyish but I'm sure most would agree the Wii does need more "top quality" games if you will. They're getting SMG, SSBB, Super Paper Mario, MP3 but they need a few more.

There's a big drought too right after Super Paper Mario which is a little worrying.

the only thing that the wii needed to learn was to not cost $600.

I'm not talking about just 2007. I'm talking about over the life of the console. Sony has always been able to drum up great 3rd party support.

Here's that part of the interview. http://biz.gamedaily.com/industry/feature/?id=15342&page=2


BIZ: Can you name a few things about Nintendo and Microsoft that they may have done a better job at than Sony and a few things where perhaps they could improve and learn from Sony?

 

PH: Both companies clearly have great strengths and they've both done some wonderful things in their respective fields. What could they learn from us? I think Nintendo, although I am very respectful of the innovation in Wii, and I think everybody should be respectful of it, I'm not sure that it has the technology base to propel that platform in the long-term. So I think their platform lifecycle is inherently going to be shorter, so they could have learned from us in terms of the high technology approach.

 

Microsoft's approach I think is far too built around a single game IP, one IP, and they could learn the benefits of a killer catalog rather than a killer application. And having the broad software support in multiple genres, in multiple categories, in multiple age groups is what really propels a platform for the long-term. So I think those are the differences that we see between the platforms.

That seems to me to be an extremely reasonable thing to say, about competitors. I don't see it really as bashing in anyway. Of course his statements are arguable, but it is also opinionized

Uh... they made the PS3 shiny? Sure, the white Wii looks cool... but I guess it would have been better if it were shiny.

In my opinion
PS3 3rd party>>>Wii 3rd party
Wii 1st party>>>PS3 1st party

Both have many impressing titles to look foward to.

maybe they should run mario galaxies on a 360 like sony ran DMC4 on a 360 at TGS.

Sony franchises that have gone Wii: Dragon Quest(exclusively), Manhunt 2, Devil Kings, Resident Evil:UC, and Resident Evil 5, Guitar Hero (2008), Prince of Persia.

The only thing they need to learn is go opposite what Sony does this gen.
