PS3/360/Wii Which One Is For You???

[in5AYNE]

Ok I already own a 360 and I am really excited for the Wii what do yall thuink and what do yall want???

[alecs36]

Already have a 360, wich i pretty much bought for xbox live and halo 3. Since i loved and still play halo 2. So far halo 3 looks amazing, and xbox live has great downloadable content so i'm satisfied so far. And then there are some great games on the way including gears of war.

[wootoow]

I'll buy them all.

[in5AYNE]

I'll buy them all.
Im with WOOTOOW

[sarb]

never was fan of the xbox, so i dont have a 360 nor do i plan on getting one.

PS3 and Wii have my attention, i have both a PS2 and GameCube now. PS3 is a bit too pricy tho, not to mention we all know how buggy ver1 consoles can be.

if anything, i would be getting a Wii cuz despite what anyone wants to say about Nintendo, i still love their games. i just bought a DS Lite this week, gotta love the new super mario game.

PS3 maybe in the future when prices drop.

[DeadCRAP_]

xbox 360 all the way.. i love my 360 oblivion rocks

[BigFinger]

ps3 when the price drops....GTHD ftw


.

[[3MD]A|Pvt.iTrek]

none i dont want any of them i got my pc and bf2:)

[Boss_HoggHB]

i want to get the PS3 but its to damn expensive so i think i'll wait till the price drops . I'm saving some money for a new pc first so it'll have to wait .

[L3adcannon]

PS3, great games coming out n ****.

[coolbho3000]

PS3, great games coming out n ****.
Oh and don't forget your giant enemy crabs!

$599 US DOLLARS!!! $599 US DOLLARS!!! $599 US DOLLARS!!!

I apologize for the fanboyism. I am such a hypocrite. :(

[Grey Fox]

Currently ps3 has the most amount of exclusives I like, but since the 360 is easier to develop for and will most likely sell more because of it's lower price, in the end it will probably have more exclusives I like. But then again sony is one of my favorite software companies.

The Wii seems to be the best harware wise for me, I do not think the enormous power of the other two will offer as much to improve games as the new controller is, although I can't be sure. The cheap devkit is also wonderfull, and could encourage devs to take more risk. Although the new controller might mean they will not take the story and and other things seriously enough and thus there is a risk that there may be more original but also more shallow games. Where as with the ps3 and 360 since they do not offer any real controll improvements there will be more games that focus that much more on the story, and the whole viritual world in general.

I personally dont think the graphics are anything special. Merely mediocre, considering some of the titles that will be coming out in the next year. And also, one of my annoyances of the video are how alot of xbox users are talking smack about how it has hdr, and high textrues. Ive been playing hdr enabled games (farcry, HL2 Lost coast) for over a year now, and those textures on master cheif? Ive seen things on par with that in COD2.;) I never bash on them, but i have to say something when they start talking crap about how their 360 is better than my comp. My friend brags about how he can download videos and demos off live. Wow. I wonder if my pc can do that:rolleyes:

[alecs36]

I've been playing games with hdr enabled aswell, but this game graphically is amazing considering of how much they put on screen.

All of this is real: (you could walk around everywhere you see)

And it still holds up the amazing graphics with hd textures, the lighting, hdr ect. To say these graphics are mediocre is stupid.

Showing off the pics wasn't really about the graphics though, the guy was talking about exclusives so, where else are you going to get halo 3?

It looks much better than any ps3 game i've seen so far.

[DeadCRAP_]

come to my halo 3, and yes ill be up at E.B. at 6 in the morning waiting outside in the snow and rain and i will still get it!!!:D

[alecs36]

lol same here,

oh and i forgot, whens the last time you've seen such good real-time reflections?

PLAYSTATION 3 WILL SMASH ALL OTHER PLATFORMS. halo 3 looks cool, and u can sword fight wit the wii, but PLAYSTATION 3 WILL ANNIHILATE THE COMPETITION because it looks cool.

true that i don't think the ps3 is going to be much better anyways the reason why there internet is free and i don't understand why they all brag about ****ing free internet is that there is no marketplace no friends system no gamerscore its gay. Xbox live all they way

PS3 is the only next-gen console i will get.

With my PC i can play almost all the xbox 360 games. Halo 3 is over-rated. If that would come out on PC only. it wouldn't be a big deal. Even when halo 2 come out for PC no one will buy b/c there are just too many better fps...ex. BF2 :laugh:

If you have a good PC you really don't need the xbox 360. :cool: I can't wait to OWN these xbox 360 gamer with my PC. Thanks MS for letting us play on the same servers!

[CommandoOps]

PS3
for me
but if i had million Dollars
i would buy them both.

lol, you think you'll get all or even almost all of the great 360 games on your pc... uninformed at it's best. Maybe that's why you've chosen to get the ps3? Halo 3 over-rated? So far nobody has even played it. :laugh: I'm just wondering though, so what games are you going to get at launch? In november, when the ps3 actually comes out? Metal gear solid 4? Heavenly sword? Ut2007? Killzone 2? Eight days? Tekken? Resident Evil 5? Of course not! I don't know about everyone else here, but i buy a console to play games on it. Not for a blue-ray drive. Oh and yes RE5 is also comming out on the 360, and killzone 2 / eight days so far has been shown in CG.

Yeah that is a FACT. Most the good xbox 360 games are coming to PC. Just last week GoW was announce for PC. That was the killer app for xmas. ;)

Halo series is over-rated. Over hype just b/c its a good fps for the console. If it was on PC it would be average at best. Even bf2 will kill it. :laugh:

You will see very little PS3/wii games ported to PC. At the PS3 launch a will get warhawk, fall of man. f1 racing and some other games. I plan to spend more on game than the hardware.

Its okay xbot, the xbox 360 is a good system for people who can afford the best.

[alecs36]

1- GOW is being made by Epic, of course they'll bring it to the PC, just like we can all get UT 2007 on the PC when it comes out. And GOW is comming but what? 6 months later is what i heard. The fact is you won't be getting 'almost all of the good 360 games', games like too human, forza 2, fable 2, mass effect, perfect dark, saint's row, dead or alive, PGR(3), halo 3, chromehounds, ect. (i can't think of to many, those were just on the top of my head). But, overall PC games comming to the 360 is a great thing. 3rd party support that the ps3 might never see. I can't wait to play GTA 4 on my 360 :)

The halo series over-rated? If it were on PC? Wow, it is on PC already. Halo PC? Ever heard of it? Halo on the PC still recieved great reviews, such as a 9.0 (superb) from gamespot, an 8.2 from IGN, an 8.6 from gamerankings, oh, and here are the player reviews from the PC gamers: http://www.gamespot.com/pc/action/halo/players.html Only 7.44% lower than good from over 300 people. (363).

http://www.gamespot.com/cgi/game_score_piechart.php?id=291594

spent over three days stuck on level (the flood) keep coming to same room one way in and out. no hint no help from web site or game mfg boo.the disc is headed for coaster ville. frist four levels were cool but hard to drive tank need better driving controls, same for aieln one man ship hard to control and frie. The graphs were good and smooth almost all the time.
the sound was vrty good like the squeal of aielns. controls were all right except as noted above.story was good as far was it went. needs a better support group at web site.

Yup, must be a bad game.. lol. That's from somone who reviewed the game bad.

It's a bit sad the games that most people are even buying the ps3 for won't even make launch. One of wich that is making launch isn't very interesting (your usual shoot em up, but this one doesn't even have real next gen graphics). I can't believe some of what the sony fanboys take from sony. First it's CG all through E3 05, no real gameplay footage (if some, a tiny bit), then some of the games that were CG don't even make it to real gameplay footage for E3 06 (killzone), and then most of the games the fans are really waiting for don't even make launch for the console. And you still pay them $600, because it has blue-ray right? You're spending more on games than on hardware? $600 for your ps3, and (if the games are not above $60), $180 on games. Mmm nope.

I mean, atleast Microsoft and bungie give us actual good looking gameplay, that's actual gameplay. Not CG... (Example)

Killzone 2 (CG)

http://ps3media.ign.com/ps3/image/article/614/614722/killzone-ps3-20060113105049144.jpg

Halo 3 (ingame)

http://i53.photobucket.com/albums/g56/halo3pics/Halo334.jpg

Why do people go to sony.. when they're lying do them so much and taking ideas from everyone else? (The controller idea from Nintendo's Wii for example) Then again the ps3 controller doesn't even have rumble, but that's another story.

[KB-smoker]

Why do you think halo 3 looks that good. MGS4 straights OWNS it. ANd that game was running on a PS3 beta kit.

Games that are not even close to being done on the PS3 look better than all the games released on xbox 360. PS3 just has much more power than it. I don't even think you could be a bigger fanboy if you can't see that the PS3 is the more powerful system. So i want the best and that is why i'm getting the PS3. Also that is why i buy games like Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion. COD2, AND GRAW for the PC. Those are just the better version. Those games are just about all the good xbox 360 games out too.

Like i said the xbox 360 is a good system for wannabe PC gamers.

[alecs36]

LOL! Lets do some comparing.. if you say these visuals are so good for the ps3.. (lol)

The medias3 much more powerfull? LOL

Face it. You're paying $200 more for the blue-ray drive and the 60 gig hd. Wich were forced.

I say do yourself a favor now and buy a 360 instead.

Theres no way you can be making such accusations already. The ps3 hasnt even come out, and very little gameplay footage is out, so just stop trying to prove your points. The only true thing we can compare, is that the hardware specs for the PS3 are much better and more powerful than the 360, mostlikely because it had a whole year to improve on its microsoft counterpart. And we all know, that more powerful hardware equals better graphics and smoother gameplay. And on another note, whenever i play my friends 360, games like (perfect dark zero, halflife 2, oblivion, halo 2,) are very often laggy, glitchy, and they freezeup so **** much. Screw consoles, in 1-2 years, the graphics will be outdated and the PC will come out on top again. These seem to be the only consoles in history, where when at there release, they were already behind the technology of the PC.:laugh:

[alecs36]

halo 2 / perfect dark zero laggy / glitchy / and freeze up? Lol, sorry but do somthing about those disks or tell your friend to get a better internet connection, i've had no problem with my games. The ps3 does have better hardware, but where you guys are wrong is saying much better hardware. Sure, a bit larger HD (wich i can still just get 2 more 20 gigs and even it up), cell processing, and a blue-ray drive. That's it. Lets look here, the processor in the ps3 is hard to develop for, as john carmack said. (Notice how long developers are taking for the ps3, most games arn't even making launch), but does have a higher peak preformance (if you actually work hard enough and long enough, you can get good looking things running) And if i wanted an hd drive to watch hd movies i'd buy the hd-dvd add on that will release from microsoft. Also, the 360 does had a better ATI GPU in it than the nvidia GPU in the ps3. (again, notice better graphics in the 360 games)

Also, the 360 can already handle the games the ps3 has right now, such as MGS4.

[alecs36]

Heres an article to back this up:

http://www.msxbox-world.com/xbox/features/article/179/PS3-Hardware-issues-Teething-troubles-or-a-deeper-problem?.html

So, what are the issues some developers are having with the hardware? Well reports have been abound that the PS3 is having problems with slowdown with this being linked to the number of objects and effects being displayed at any given time. With next generation graphical effects and techniques such as HDR lighting, HD resolutions, shadows, antialiasing, parallax mapping, and even normal mapping which thus far have posed no problems for the Xbox 360 the PS3 seems to be having many issues with these. Coding these effects into games is what is expected from developers to be incorporated within next generation titles and the assumption is made that the PS3 will be able to handle these effectively; however reports surfacing and received by us are indicating that the PS3 suffers immeasurable slowdown and unsteady frame rates which are not a result of poor coding but in fact the fault of the PS3 architecture and Nvidia graphics processor.

It's widely reported amongst those who have had hands on experience with both the Xbox 360 and PS3 that the Xbox 360's graphics processing ability is superior to that of the PS3 and it appears that there may be some issues here. Some have gone as far as estimating that the PS3's graphics processing ability is about 75-85% of the Xbox 360's. However the validity of the claims is questionable since there are simply too many variables to consider. On the surface it would look like ATI's Unified Shader Architecture which is used in the Xbox 360 is paying dividends and allowing developers to get the required results from the system.

Looking at programming for the PS3 and on the general processing side of things it has the multiple processors which according to a few reports are a pain to work with in general. On paper the PS3 has a massive amount of power available, but in reality this is proving difficult to hook into and a lot of the raw power is simply unusable. As always it’s clear that once developers become more accustomed to using the PS3 and the development tools/profilers improve then better results will be accomplished. However the same can be said for those developers working with the Xbox 360. It’s a learning process which hasn’t been aided by the fact that many development teams received their PS3 final dev kits late and doesn’t bode well especially when big name companies are also reported to be having the same problems with the PS3 with Sony engineers being unable to resolve the extensive list of the problems developers are experiencing. We are now hearing insider reports which go as far as claiming that a tried and proven game engine and graphical techniques used within a game currently available for the Xbox 360 is unable to sustain performance on the PS3.

[KB-smoker]

lol you believe that stuff. lol

BELIEVE!

Why does the PS3 games just look better? GEt some help kid.

I think somone needs an eye check-up though, ps3 games look better? ^

You did look at the pics in the last page right?

[TehFunk]

Just wait until we i revive this server in November and prove you wrong;)

[alecs36]

Just wait untill november when all of the launch games look the same and the most anticapted games (that didn't even make launch) look the same aswell, wich barely or don't even compete with the 360 games, lol. I cannot believe how much crap sony fanboys can take from sony, yet still go with them without question. If you are the gamers who don't care if a company shoves fake CG gameplay into your eyes while you are told it is real, and a forced blue-ray drive down your throat, then so be it. But this is another factor making me not spend any money on any of sony's gaming products, because it is ruining the industry and how it should be ran. Gamers are supposed to see games, not fake videos. Sony is just an arrogant company all togethor, i remember when they said somthing along the lines of ''gamers will buy the ps3 regardless of it's launch titles, they are the same people who bought the 360 and are going to buy the Wii when the first launch.'' So what? Sony says you can launch a console without any games to play on it? Again, this is ruining the industry. Yes i know i'm ranting, but this is true.

[HoodyHoodRat]

I donno, I will end up getting all of them within a few months of them coming out. But have you seen Stranglehold gameply for PS3? It looks like alot of fun and all kinds of destructible enviorments.

[in5AYNE]

Sony has no idea what they are going to do with the PS3. If u watch G4 or AOTS you would know that. Everyday they say BS. They say stuff that they even know will not happen and the are just slowly digging themselves a big hole. Sony is coming out with the most bizarre and stupid things like just about a day ago they tried to make an excuse for there prices by saying it will be like a cpu where u can buy more better parts for it BS. They are just trying not to get hurt by the body slam by the 360/Wii Tag Team. And u have to admit Microsoft is the best they have the best internet gaming best everything and they are promising alot in the near future and with GTA 4 only for 360 Microsoft will slowly kill everything. The wii is what i am really excited for and I have already got the money for mine. Great business decision for Microsoft and Nintendo to campaign together to show the pure BS said about PS3. Sony needs to stop making up lies and actually show us some gameplay and to answer the questions Killzone 2 is soooooooo pre-rendered

Preach My Brother, Preach LOL I agree with everything

[BigFinger]

the thing tha makes me laugh is you wii and 360 supporters berating a console thats not even luanched..

you really have been brainwashed havvnt you ... wait till its out then make your call.

.

[in5AYNE]

lol, you think you'll get all or even almost all of the great 360 games on your pc... uninformed at it's best. Maybe that's why you've chosen to get the ps3? Halo 3 over-rated? So far nobody has even played it. :laugh: I'm just wondering though, so what games are you going to get at launch? In november, when the ps3 actually comes out? Metal gear solid 4? Heavenly sword? Ut2007? Killzone 2? Eight days? Tekken? Resident Evil 5? Of course not! I don't know about everyone else here, but i buy a console to play games on it. Not for a blue-ray drive. Oh and yes RE5 is also comming out on the 360, and killzone 2 / eight days so far has been shown in CG.
You Need to send me a friend request i agree on everything u have said please show us gamers real games. I dont need a console with a coffee maker, with an added cell phone. I admit the music and videos on the 360 are cool but come on Sony u are really F*^&%$# UP

[alecs36]

the thing tha makes me laugh is you wii and 360 supporters berating a console thats not even luanched..

Are you seriously saying you can't judge somthing before it launches?

Like it never happened to the 360 right? Xbox 1.5 HARharhar. :rolleyes:

I'll send you a friend request though insane. :)

[coolbho3000]

I'm getting a Wii. I have enough money for the 360 (but not for the PS3 lol) but I have decided my money is worth spent on something better.

The only reason I would want a 360 is because of Halo 3. That's not even out yet.

I want a Wii because I want something new. I think of Halo 3 as a spoofed up Halo 2 with a different story.

Yet I think of all the Wii games, even the sequels, as totally different ways of playing a game - a step I think the gaming industry should take.

I may marvel at the Xbox 360 and PS3's specs, and I may stare at their awesomeness longer than the Wii, but will I have more fun with them than the Wii? Probably not!

Besides, the graphics aren't that bad. ;)

[DeadCRAP_]

xbox 360 by for reasons

1) THE GRAPHICS!!!
2) the xbox live marketplace:)
3) wide choices of maps (alredy listed 20 maps for xbox live marketplace for halo 3:DDDDD)

[Justin B.]

yea halo 3 is gonna be sooooo sick
and the 360 owns all

[alecs36]

The Wii graphics arn't that bad actually, Red Steel looked good, and really fun.

Plus are the Wii developers even working on final hardware?

[cloakster]

l have no idea. I was leaning towards the PS3 but they arent thinking enough about that it is mainly a gaming console. Instead they are working on to many extras. The Wii looks really fun and it is at a very good price. So i dont know.

[Quack!]

I'm going with the PS3, and plan on avoiding XBox like the plague. Why? Several reasons:

1) Screw Microsoft
2) Halo is not that great of a game, also for a couple reasons:
a. I am not into that sci-fi crap
b. Console-based first-person shooters are never fun for me. I'll stick with PC.
3) yea halo 3 is gonna be sooooo sick
and the 360 owns all

I'd hate to end up like that.;)

I must add, though, that Sony has dissapointed me. They're still in that pattern of making promises they can't deliver. Either way, I'm waiting for MGS4, then I'll buy a PS3. Hopefully by then the price will have dropped.

I also want to say, please stop saying that PS3 won't have any good launch games. That's a ridiculous thing to judge a console on. You remember PS2's launch titles? Yeah, me neither. You see what the end result was; PS2 is still a monster, and tons of hit games have been released. Besides, the more I see 360 fans insisting that their console is the second coming of Christ, the more I am willing to wait for my PS3.

It's obvious Quack that you've ignored the fact that there are fanboys for every console. I could easily say aswell that i've seen ps3 fans insisting that their console is 'the second comming christ' with it's 'amazing blue-ray drive' and 'cell processor', so to take a side over what one or two people say from the other, is pretty stupid. You've seen the playstation forums right? Fanboy alert. Wich i can say the same for the xbox forums and nintendo forums. And the 360 isn't all about Halo3.

[Quack!]

And the 360 isn't all about Halo3.

It isn't? I've seen it brought up several times in this thread, not to mention you went on quite the spree posting screenshots of it, along with saying:

Already have a 360, wich i pretty much bought for xbox live and halo 3.

And I understand that every console has its fanboys--I was making a joke, hence ';)'.

[BigFinger]

Are you seriously saying you can't judge somthing before it launches?

Like it never happened to the 360 right? Xbox 1.5 HARharhar. :rolleyes:

I'll send you a friend request though insane. :)

did say it didnt happen b4....

what im saying is...

wait till its launched and other people have bought it then youll get real appraisals of the console, not jargon laden pre-rendered interviews and demos designed to whip the media into a feeding frenzy..

i will say you cant make a fair judgement on something that hassnt been launced.

like most sensible people did with the 360..

[Sparty88]

I own a PS2 and a PS1 before that so i'm gonna have to say PS3. I'm a Playstation gamer all the way when it comes to consoles.:salute:

I agree with BigFinger, the PS2 was garbage when it first came out (Summoner for example)

[SciFiMan]

I don't plan on ever getting another console, unless one gets designed into a LCD or Plasma monitor. Have a PS2 that doesn't get much use. PC's are much better for gaming, and the consoles and their games are no longer a good value.

Yay:D Someone finally says it!! No matter how much the console people b****, the pc will always, quote "ALWAYS" be one top. Who gives a **** if its more expensive, your buying PWNAGE!!

And obviously doesn't understand '' all about ''. lol.

And also there are some great games on the way including gears of war.


Oh yeah, and good job cutting out this part. Noob.

[Quack!]

You don't get it, man. You really shouldn't take everything so literally. If I don't understand "all about," then it's clear that you don't understand the subtleties of dialogue. What I obviously meant was Halo is a huge selling point for the XBox. I don't like Halo, so that takes away a lot of the glamour of the 360 (for me). To take me so literally is a pretty cheap way to go about a discussion. I mean, if I said I look forward to buying a 360 when pigs learn to fly, would you rip on me for being an idiot who thinks pigs can learn to fly?

Either way, my original argument stands. There will be great games for each system. Some will be exclusive, for example, MGS4 and Halo 3. Halo is not my cup of tea, MGS4 is. Why should I buy a 360 when one of the major exclusives is a game I have no interest buying? And please, feel free to answer these questions, they're not rhetorical. I'll throw in one or two more, as I'm curious: isn't Halo 3 the most hyped and eagerly-awaited game coming out for the 360? If not, what is?

[Fakesound]

PS3. Never wanted an xbox, and now really only prefer playstations. Plus, it should sh*t in xbox 360s face soon..
Halo is only fun for 2 hours single player (finished night of release). Then at a friends place with 2 TVs and 8 players. Else.. Yeah I really don't have much for xbox in general. No other games on it I like that aren't on ps2 (originally too). Jade Empire looked tasty, but nevermind, never ended up playing it.

I WANT TEKKEN 6!

Are you suprised i answered the way i did, because you didn't just shove it out there that you're kidding through all of what you say. If that's what you're trying to get out to me, wich is stupid to say why i don't understand that you arn't being serious, when most of this thread has been quiet serious. So don't get on my case for that. I'm judging the system also on the system, (suprise) and the company it's comming from, not mainly by it's games. Sony is arrogant, and think so highly of themselves. It is not a company i'd like to be speaking to when i'd have to. While as you can see from microsoft, they think much more about the customer. Not like sony '' our this, we've that '' '' Oh and here's a price of $600, a blue-ray drive you may or may not use for movies, even if you have an hdtv to really use it on, alot alot alot of cg videos, oh and the main cg video we said was real 'killzone2', we arn't going to show it at e3 06, and we still will be showing cg videos at e3 06 anywase, also, we did steal nintendo's controller idea and our developers only knew of this add on weeks ahead of e3 when we showed it, that's because we are getting afraid and we have to steal our competitors' ideas. '' No thanks sony. Also, for your last two questions:

Halo is liked by many xbox gamers, it's truely what brought us all togethor online with the xbox and halo2, and yes many of us are looking forward to halo3 to continue the great story, and gameplay. But, yes there are also xbox gamers who don't like halo that much. They say it's, alright, but arn't 'eagerly awaiting' it. As you said, for some it's being quiet hyped, but for others it just isn't their 'cup of tea'. ;) Those people are most likely looking forward to more of gears of war, forza 2, fable 2, mass effect, lost planet, ect. All of wich are equally hyped.

[Quack!]

You're right, it's very difficult to judge the tone of what someone says through text (at least I think that is what you were getting at). This would be a much more interesting conversation, I think, if it was carried out in person. Unfortunately, we only have this forum.

It's sad, but I have to agree with your assessment of Sony (Don't get me wrong--it's not sad that I'm agreeing with you, it's sad that Sony is acting the way they are). They are being quite arrogant, but it is justified (kind of). We all know that, no matter what, Sony will sell millions of PS3s. For some reason, Sony thinks that gives them the right to do what they're doing, and that could alienate some potential buyers. Unfortunately, when it comes down to it, I am willing to choose a system based on the games, and PS3 looks to have the games I want.

At the end of the day, it's just entertainment. You'll have fun with the console you choose, and I'll have fun with the one I choose, right?

[alecs36]

Of course, i'd actually like to play MGS4 aswell, but i just don't have the money, lol. They'll probably have demos up and running at best buy (and other storess) like they do with the 360 so i'll try it there lol.

[Fakesound]

Anyone checked out the video's for Killzone2 and MGS4 ? MG looks incredible, and Killzone has a physics/playability I can't wait to try out

http://media.ps3.ign.com/media/748/748466/vids_1.html
screaming like a booper at a westlife concert.. thing.

[i made you]

I doubt Sony will sell even close to the PS2. They've managed to **** up in just about every way. The only reason to buy one now is for a few games that Sony owns. MS has done just about everything right this time. There is no reason why they won't crush the PS3.

[in5AYNE]

It all goes down to who likes what. I would say that each system is for different people. I would like to own both the 360 and PS3, i was just saying that the Sony is promising to much. It all comes down to what kinda games you play and how big your wallet is. I will probually get the PS3 about a year or less after it's release so all the bugs will be out and the top games will already be released and hopefully the price has dropped. Lets switch discussion to the Wii. Personally I am really EXCITED about the system. I think it will be for the most true gamer. Nintendo is great they don't focus on all the graphics and special features and all that jazz they just want to be revolutionary and make great games. I already have my money for the Wii and I think it will be a huge step in the gaming industry. Plus with Red Steel witch takes full advantage of the Wii's revolutionary controller the Wii will really show companies who's boss. Just imagine gamers playing over the internet with a sword fight with the controller that you can move. What are yall's thoughts on the Wii.:D

[BigFinger]

personally:-

dont like nintendos games myself i find them too childish and slanted towards the asian market (the manga look on many of thier titles) mario also really really annoys me for some conpletely illogical reason. ill admit unreservedly they are king of the handheld. and ill admit that a lightsaber style game or even a golf game with some tutorials in to inprove your swing etc etc has peaked my interest but i dont think that will 'swing' it for me.

we did steal nintendo's controller idea and our developers only knew of this add on weeks ahead of e3 when we showed it, that's because we are getting afraid and we have to steal our competitors' ideas. '' No thanks sony. Also, for your last two questions:

ALSO it not ****ing rocket science to work out that that was the next step for controlllers now is it......

saying sony stole the idea is like saying nintendo and sony stole the idea of HD gaming for consoles from microsoft ffs.....by your logic you could say that pepsi/mountain dew etc etc etc stole the idea of a fizzy drink from coke. or that bf2142 stole the walkers from mgs4 or c&c.

Ever played Metroid Prime? Or perhaps seen trailers or footage for Red Steel or Disaster: Day of Crisis? Red Steel is third party, but Metroid Prime and Disaster are first party.

They say Disaster is going to be the first First Party M rated game of Nintendo. :laugh:

Nintendo is trying to shed their kiddy image.

Besides, all these FPS games you people are talking about, they're really pretty childish, because the average adult wouldn't pick them up and they're really geared towards teenagers. The average adult would probably run to the Nintendo DS and pick up Brain Age. :laugh:

And that purple dancing hippo is kinda annoying. That's why I don't have a sig or avatar.

*Yawn* Back in 99 a group called Pelican created a controller that's supposably 'revolutionary' from sony (for the ps3), wich ALSO included vibration, wich sony says they couldn't add because it would 'get in the way'. More Sony BS.. Sony stole the idea, they completely forgot about motion sensing, if they hadn't lost that case with immsersion they wouldn't have looked at nintendo's idea with the motion sensing and took it, i mean, they needed somthing. A design that nobody liked, the banana (lol), and no vibration at all? Ha. Oh, and this was from PSM, playstation magazine. http://www.kotaku.com/gaming/warhawk/warhawakps3-controller-nothing-new-182473.php Getting owned by your own magazine blows :rolleyes: Also, don't even talk about nintendo swaying more to the asian market, look at playstation..

ok little 'man' ill go through what i mean again slowly ....

people (all console manufacturers) have OBVIOUSLY been looking at motion sensing for a long time to say one stole the idea off another is silly and to illustrate this point i simply googled and found some evidence to debunk your argument.. go and google and youll find some to debunk mine (do it about motion sensing if you like this time to stay on thread ;) )

immersion ? im going to ask this off the top of my head as i cant be arsed to google again as i want to play some AF... does nintendo and the 360 have an eye toy 'motion sensing' camera thing ? they may i dont know but as far as i know they dont.

btw the banana 'a design no one liked' was dropped as guess what ... no one liked it.. thats not a thing youll see microsoft do i think.

lastly .. ill talk as much as i like about them swaying towards the asian market as thats a personal opinion based solely on my own perception of the brand and not based in anything else but my own opionion... LIKE I EFFIN SAID YOU NOB !

oh yes... *yawn*

[Quack!]

By "Immersion" he means the company (he forgot to capitalize it). Sony had a little legal trouble over the DualShock. I think that's why they dropped the rumble feature, because, as that video shows, it would have worked with the motion sensing.

Did you get even one point across in that post? Towards me? What i said was all true. GG. Little man. :rolleyes: Grow up. Sony could have put in vibration, but they didn't because they didn't want to pay Immersion. And you said I KNEW NOTHING OF SONY'S BATTLE FOR IT'S CONTROLLER? How did you not know that? Eye toy? Who even started talking about an eye toy? Sony looked around at the competition and saw motion sensing, because they needed somthing. Don't kid yourself to think this was a plan from the start, as developers for the PS3 have even STATED that they knew nothing of this 'motion sensing' untill a couple WEEKS before E306. Playstation is just as 'asian' as nintendo.

Ok, i just saw the 'room temp iq' please mods, can we get this immature baby banned? So what if i didn't capatalize the I in immersion, i thought you understood what you were talking about? But if i were to get on your case, i'd just say start capitalizing the first letter of the first word in each sentence, but you should know that becuse you're and 'adult' right? We learn this stuff around the 1st grade, i don't know about you guys in the UK. Start acting your 'big boy age' or gtfo out of a good dicsussion. Not to mention all of the 'kid' remarks from him.

Here: http://www.businessweek.com/innovate/content/may2006/id20060519_077964.htm?chan=innovation_game+room_in terviews Immersion themselves are certian it (rumble) could be added along side with motion sensing. Hmm i don't know maybe because it already has. Just a little more backing for me. Sony didn't want to pay immersion, so they stole nintendo's idea for this generation. This was a LAST MINUTE idea from sony.

I've proven myself i don't feel like arguing with somone like you anymore, you're just making sony and it's fanbase look even worse than it already does. And this forum, the way you construct your posts btw is god awful to look at.

Ps3:d

[KoryPyro]

Have a 360 may buy a ps3 i dunno i personally think it will suck and wii no i won't get because there are no good games

[Mr Tough Pants]

PC + PS3 for me.

PC- BF2, Diablo 3, Crysis

PS3- MGS4, GT4, GTA4, SOCOM, Heavenly Sword looks fun too

PS3 is more expensive but the BluRay trade off isn't so bad plus you get 1.3 HDMI. I also love the PS2 controller. :)

[afierymisfittrio]

Wii and PS3 (once i get the money). I love the controller on the Wii, and taking into consideration how well the Gamecube controller felt and worked, i imagine the Wiimote will do just as well. Red steel looks like too much fun.

[in5AYNE]

I say that Sony did not want to get left in the dust so they put the MoCap on their controller. I wouldn't nessesarly say they coppied Nintendo but I really do not think they will be able to pull it off. Today Sony had another press conference which they said that the release date for the BlueRay DVD player will be pushed back. A price was also given. A thousand FU*^%$# dollars that's how much. And if you pay attention to Sony like me and my good friend Adam Sessler (HAHA) you would see that the PS3 also will have Blue Ray in it. If you haven't caught on yet the PS3 has many different functions plus a BlueRay DVD player and it's 600$. But the BluRay DVD player alone is 1000$. Somethings fishy I just really don't think Sony knows what their doing. They also kinda admitted that the BlueRay DVD player may not be that good. I will bet money that there will be a numerous amount a bugs when the PS3 comes out. :mad:

[alecs36]

Hmm they're losing alot of money per ps3 sold.

[Khan Project]

i want the wii, for zelda and i know there is going to we a soul caliber with the motion controler.(i also hope there is going to be a starwars game, i just want wii lightsabers)

[DaRkNeSs]

I'v been saying this from the begining and I will say it again 360 owns the PS3 I support Alecs36. All you ps3 fan boys are all like "waaaa but MGS4 this and killzone 2 that." you know what the Metal Gear Solid series sucked, the game play was crappy and the whole story was just plain boring for me. Just look at the screen shots on the page that alecs put up just look at the 360 compared to the PS3 the 360 has way better textures.

the only thing I would ever buy the PS3 for is Assasins Creed but there is a rumor going around that it is being made for the 360 to so I might save my money.

[Quack!]

You're right. I'm a complete idiot for ever wanting a PS3. Every MGS game was crap. What was I thinking!? Those games sucked. Thank you, Darkness. Your post was insightful, well thought-out, incredibly civil--in short, the perfect contribution to any discussion. It must be delightful to converse with you in person. In fact, you're so persuasive that I've got half a mind to go buy an XBox 360 right now. Hell, you know what? I will.

[alecs36]

Quiet ironic Quack, it seems i could post the same thing about your post right there. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion. I guess Assasins creed is supposed to be making it to the 360, but yeah it's only a rumor :hmm: Hopefully it makes its way to the 360, i'd buy it. Diggin the whole medieval fighting.

[Quack!]

Aren't I entitled to an opinion? Wasn't my post simply expressing that opinion? Where do you get the nerve to infringe upon my right to share my opinion?

Now, if you don't mind, I am going to play some super-awesome games on my new XBox 360.

[TehFunk]

rofl, your saying MGS is crap, and i guarantee your a worshipper of Halo. Thats like comparing the quality of Saving Private Ryan to Starship Troopers. you probably get off to master cheif every night.
Yes, alecs36 makes good points and all, but the finished product isnt out. They have the ability to make many changes between now and release. HTF can you go around saying that the 360 owns the ps3. Sure they each have theyre pros and cons but for what i want in a console, from what ive seen, the ps3 suits it. Its got HDMI 1.3, 1080p support, a 60 gig hdd, better hardware specs, and compatibility with my psp(via wifi and mem stick) To me, the ps3 seems to looks like a much better console for the media centered person, such as myself. And also from what ive seen, the 360 is going to be better for online services and playing with xbox live and such, but im not all about playing online console games and microtransactions with Live. You may be like that, so i guess its whatever floats your boat.

And for the record, the PSP is SOOO much easier to use as a media storage device than the 360. From my experiences, the 360 is a big pain in the a$$ to just do something easy such as copy over a video or sync some songs.

[DaRkNeSs]

rofl, your saying MGS is crap, and i guarantee your a worshipper of Halo. Thats like comparing the quality of Saving Private Ryan to Starship Troopers. you probably get off to master cheif every night.

No I am not a really big fan of Halo, I think its a good game, but I wouldn't say im a really big fan. One game that im really into for the xbox and the xbox 360 is the Brothers in Arms series and Hit Man Blood Money.

Look I'm not saying the PS3 totally sucks I'm just saying some of the game arn't that well thought out its always the same stuff. I really did like some games though like Socom, Tenchu Rath of Heaven, and many others. I just like the xbox becuase the old xbox had some kick a$$ games the ps2 games were just really plain (for me). Yes, I am kinda just labeling that the PS3 might suck becuase I didn't like ps2 all that much. Hay, I might be wrong but I just like to label stuff, then wait and see if im wrong or right. lol

My bad. Its just that there are alot of xbox and 360 owners i know that say that Halo series is better than the half life series in every way, and i just cant fthom that. And also my stereotypical 360 owner is someone who copies all the sayings from pc, like "owned" and "boom headshot!!", but has never even played css, or wont even glance at a game like FEAR because there to busy playing halo 2

[alecs36]

Well, i'll have to admit this, i recently started saving for the ps3.. (waits for flames) lol.

[stilla-killa]

ill probably go with nintendo b/c it is cheaper and ill probably wait on PS3 to make sure it doesnt have any bugs on release date
