Sony disdains Nintendo's fast-selling Wii


Nintendo Corp.'s Wii game console has been a runaway success and has outsold Sony's PlayStation 3.

But, Sony Corp. said the two do not belong in the same category.


"Wii could be considered an impulse buy more that anything else," said Dave Karraker, a spokesman for Sony Computer entertainment of America, "but we believe the PS3 will be the console to attract hardcore, committed gamers, while Wii will do little beyond satisfying new and casual players."


However, Perrin Kaplan of Nintendo claimed that the Wii has turned video game market "all upside down," and dismissed Sony's suggestion that Wii only appears to be in high demand because of fewer shipments.
