Esp when you can get a HD-dvd player for $500 whereas the ps3 is $600 or a blue ray player is $1000. hmm no wonder ps3 no one wants it considering the performance isnt any better than HD-DVD.

1.) The PS3 hasn't sold so many because of manufacturing problems and not demand problems. The demand for PS3 is extreme.
2.) The Wii has sold so much because its extremely easy to make. The components are literally redesigned GameCube parts with double the clocks and a few extra instructions.
3.) What exactly do you mean by price? The price of the media is directly related to its demand. Neither of which are high for HD DVD or Blu Ray. Blu Ray is the superior format technology wise, but its creator is Sony and therefore I believe will fail. The prices are so high on the players because they are not being subsidized like Toshiba is doing with their HD DVD players. In reality they both actually cost basically the same to manufacture.
