I think we can chalk this one up to the DS Halo Effect. But similar to Apple and it's iPod halo effect, it may be a while before we actually see results…But these polls show promise, at lease in Japan.
I honestly think this bodes well, I don't think it will be the same DS Halo effect.I think this is a sign that even though there are a crazy amount of Sony Fanboys in Japan, even they can get fed up with being raped in the wallet.The Wii is an alternative for gaming that isn't trying to be anything else. I think that's why it's polling so high, no one wants to get wrapped up in something that could potentially flop.. The PS3 has the potential and I think a great many people are weary of it.
