"I've played a Nintendo Wii. I don't see it as a competitor," Stringer said dismissively. "It's more of an expensive niche game device. We're selling a lot of PlayStation 3s now and it's still the best way to buy a Blu-ray player."
As Don Kaufman points out, the Wii is cheaper than the PS3, and neither is it a niche system.
I for one am reminded of attitudes expressed by certain comics companies regarding manga a few years ago...

I'm reminded of last year's E3, when Stringer dismissed the Wii as "an impulse buy" as compared to the apparently more-real PS3.
At least he's coming up with new dismissive excuses each year...
