No, this isn’t an article about the PS3 being a superior paperweight/doorstop/other household item necessitating a weighty object. I’m not here to hate on Sony’s console, especially since I own one. The battle for console supremacy has gone beyond having the best games. Now the quality of your add-ons, extra features and business partnerships matters.

Both the PS3 and the Wii offer a web browser as part of their functionality and this is where Sony is experiencing a small triumph. Both of their browsers support many popular sites such as Youtube but market research shows that the PS3 is being used more often to access the internet than the Wii. It’s a rather miniscule percentage difference, as the PS3 browser has four one hundredths of a percentage point of the total ‘internet market’ while the Wii browser only claims a single hundredth of a percentage point. This is probably attributed in some part to the fact that the Wii’s internet browser has to be purchased while the PS3′s browser is free of charge.
