Though they get launch prices wrong, NPR has a nice little audio report on the upcoming PS3 vs. Wii launch suggesting Sony as the underdog and what the launches mean for next-generation gaming. From the synopsis: “The PlayStation 3 and the Wii represent different strategies for achieving big holiday sales. The stakes are especially high for Sony, whose PlayStation Portable was trounced by the Nintendo DS during the last round of format wars.”

I did listen to this story on my way to work in the morning…NPR is usually pretty objective in their reporting. I think this time around they were siding with the rest of the media: most journalists have been giving reviews in favor of Nintendo for its "all-inclusive gaming" strategy. Most journalists seem to be new to the gaming arena.But just so you know, journalists were also extremely excited about the Dreamcast, so don't view this trend as a good omen! (The Dreamcast was the first gadget to be nominated "Machine of the Year" by Time magazine!)
