Tokyo – President of Sony North America Frank Newmark announced today that Sony would begin bundling a Nintendo Wii console with every PlayStation 3 system sold.
Recent sales figures have shown the Wii with more sales than the Xbox 360 and the PlayStation 3 combined.
Newmark hopes the new strategy will boost disappointing sales of the company's gaming system by pairing it with the hot-selling Wii. Newmark said, "By focusing on giving the customer what they want, the sales of the PS3 will improve dramatically."
I don't believe it! This has to be an April Fool's Day Joke or something! It can't be true! What sense does this make?

I really really really DOUBT THAT!! lol That will never happen anyways!
EDIT: Just checked the sorce and it says that Nintendo confirmed it!!!! Holy Crap!
thats what I said when I first read it! It has to be a joke or something
i highly doubt this is real... happy april fools everyone
Edit: rooster, you have just been duped... the site is a spoof web site, here is the about page

here's what it says
*Quote from about site*
"Called "the world's greatest tech humour site" by The Register, BBspot creates entertainment for the geekier side of the world. BBspot produces a variety of features like fake news stories satirizing the tech and political worlds, the BBspot Mailbag which pokes fun at the Believers (people who believe our fake news) and much more. BBspot was started by Brian Briggs in April of 2000 as a hobby to bring some fun to the web, but grew to the point where Brian "quit his day job" and made the site his full-time occupation in January of 2003.
Material from BBspot has been featured several times on Tech TV's The Screen Savers show, on The Discovery Channel, radio shows, major newspapers and books. BBspot has had five front page postings on Slashdot, and is very proud to be linked from the home page for Nethack. How's that for geek cred."
well, i hope this clears everything up
Oh thats a relief!!! woosh *wipes sweat off forehead*
there are still 5 days of March. very cruel April Fool's Day
I really didn't ever believe this. I knew that it would be fake. Just wanted confirmation. Thanx Cypher
Yea, it just sounded too dumb to be true anyways. But a warning to everyone... don't believe anystories in magazines/the internet during the beginning of april :o
Who would even believe this...
A) Sony are too proud to do this
B) Nintendo do not like how Sony do things
C) Its just plain stupid.
At least Mushroom Kingdom Hearts made sense.
I agree with LMx. The kingdom hearts thing did make scene but i just didn't want to belive it!
Uh, not to mention, Wii sales are NOT more than PS3 and 360 COMBINED. The rate of sales might be higher than PS3 or 360 was at the time of the launch of those systems, but that's a completely different statistic.
well, at least we have our own version of "The Onion"

well, it doesn't specify much about that. technically, Wiis are selling more a month than both combined, but total sales up to this point is a different story. all in the details my friend 
April Fools.......There's no other explanation.
This would make sense for Sony, but not for Nintendo.
A) Sony are too proud to do this
True, Sony would probably say, Nintendo wanted to do it, and paid us.
Welcome to upsidedown world, where everything you know is wrong, up is down and right is left!.....Oh, its a cruel April fools? WAIT TILL THE 1ST YOU IDIOTS!
I never believed this for one second. This is a poor attempt at a joke. Sony would never sell such a "gimmick" with their "superior" machine. Just look at all the great "sales," and how they are sold out "within minutes".
In case you didn't know, that last sentence was sarcasm.
I laughed when I read that. Does sound like something you'd read from The Onion. I used to love that site but it's been ages since I've been there and totally forgot about it. I changed comps recently and my favorites were gone. Gotta add it again.
