Predicting winner of video-game war

Re “Back in the game,” editorial, Dec. 2

I disagree with the sentence in this editorial stating that the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 are more likely to win the video-game war than the Wii. The Wii will win, and here’s why: When it was time to work on next-generation systems, Sony and Microsoft were playing the same old “better graphics, more media” tune, whereas Nintendo decided to be experimental as far as actual game play is concerned. Now, every video gamer I have talked to is on Nintendo’s side. What’s more, the Wii’s demographic is much more expanded than other systems’. Now much younger siblings, parents and even grandparents can get into video games. From where I’m standing, it looks like the war is pretty much won.
