At the moment, it's clearly losing the media-buzz battle - the New York Times savaged Sony's powerful system as convoluted and incomplete, while Time magazine log-rolled their exclusive first look at the Wii by dubbing Wii Sports, the system's entertaining pack-in game, "the best video game ever." (Uh, say what?) Happily, the pocketbooks of all those would-be PS3 Scrooges, uh, scalpers who camped out to convert a coveted launch-day purchase into a $2,500 eBay windfall have lost, too the flooded supply dropped bids closer to $1,000. The throwdown between Sony's $600 monster and Nintendo's $250 Wii has already given us plenty to talk about - shootings, people crashing headlong into metal poles in Wal-Marts and, predictably, a Bill O'Reilly meltdown on the decline of American culture. These days, the Christmas carol on every gamer's lips has a simple refrain: Wii or PlayStation 3? Frankly, the more appropriate tune might be: Xbox 360 or raincheck? The special holiday edition of System Shortages 2006 isn't quite as brutal as last year's Xbox 360 debacle, but most of the gamers down in Whoville are going to feel awfully Grinched when there's no new next-gen system lurking underneath their holiday tree.Īt least they can say they've been entertained.
