Sony Europe's new president expects Wii owners will "upgrade" to PS3 soon...

Andrew House, the newly installed president of Sony Europe, has been throwing his weight around with the prediction that Wii owners will soon be upgrading to the PS3, due to the "greater wealth" of experiences on Sony's machine.

Speaking to Edge Online, House stated:

"If you look back at previous lifecycles, like PS2 versus N64 [sic], we have lots of data that suggests that lots of people bought into N64 as their entry level gaming device, and were happy to upgrade to a more powerful machine later in the life cycle when the price point was right for them. I think we're going to see this later on PS3, and the fact that it's a Blu-ray player as well and that there's a [greater] wealth of network based experiences than are perhaps available on the device they already have will add to the proposition. I think that will definitely be a factor in the marketplace."

Is the PS3's lower price point these days going to sway the Wii converts? Let us know your thoughts below...
