I’ve been following some of the E3 coverage on cnet.com and other sites. I’ve read that Microsoft has endorsed the Nintendo Wii. Microsoft says instead of getting a PS3 for around $500 or $600 get an XBOX 360 and a Nintendo Wii for the same price. Sony doesn’t have the same argument, but they think people will buy two systems – their PS3 and the Nintendo Wii.

So we’ve got 3 companies pushing Nintendo: Microsoft, Sony and Nintendo, themselves. Everybody says to get one. This is pretty interesting. I wonder if people who weren’t considering Wii are now thinking about getting one.
