Console war!

---

PS3, XBOX 360 & Wii----> 3 massive new console releases, i was sega man, but its consoles died out and i converted to sony. The PS2 totally outclassed bothe the xbox and the gamecube, bar one or two releases (eg. halo, zelda etc...). I suppose i would have chosen PS3 without question had it not been for the massive pricetag its slapped on its console. Its games look good though eg. MG4. The 360 wasn't impressing me much, [its cheaper but it will cost £199 to get the HD thing, sony has blueray built in, so basically your paying the same for both consoles] then it went and released Gears of War which looks class. Then theres Wii it looks pretty good and fun as well as very original, its also a lot cheaper. Overall then its a tough decision one you'd hate to get wrong, any of you got any views on which one will come out best?

well so far the Xbox 360 has some technical issues that can get damn annoying, and i havent seen much for game releases, though tends to put out my favorites, NFS,Suikoden,final fantasy and so on, but the price is just ouch, but the Wii is actually lookin pretty good depending on how they put the virtual controller to use

Xbox360 just doesn't have any games I wanna play. Well it does, but I'm not gonna buy a new system JUST for DOAXtreme 2.Wii looks like something I could get. But sadly I think if I do, it won't have too many games I'll want to buy.PS3 will have most likely THE games I want to play so I'm just gonna get this and in the long eventual a Wii.

my boyfriend and I are both nintendo fans. we dont like xbox much, and the ps3 looks pretty damn close to the ps2, so its nothing we would pay over $600 for. my bf wants a wii so bad, and so do i i wanna pink ds lite too

My choice pick is either the Wii or the PS3. I'm a big RPG fan, particularily Final Fantasy which is PS3 (except for FFXI, Crystal Chronicles, and Tactics). I'm not getting either though until the prices come down and more games are out though. Some realy good stuff is coming out for all systems. Wii probably has the best multiplayer, because the fun of swinging a remote around while playing the newest Smash Bros coming out or whatever else sounds great, and the new Zelda game looks really fun. Halo 3 is coming out for the Xbox 360 and it has some other cool games like Gears of War, although not huge selection even though it's been out for around a year (still currently bigger than the other two though). PS3 is the most powerful and has the most potential for big graphics and all that, but you have to pay more because of that.Xbox 360 is turning out to be, expectedly, crap for RPGs. It's THE first person shooter system, kind of like in the older ones.The PS2 has so many more games than the other two systems (which are mostly backwards compatible for the PS3, except for a couple hundred out of however many thousand).The question is what do you like? Get the one that has the games you like. The other stuff is all secondary. Although the blueray thing with PS3 is nice, because currently blue ray players cost lots so the PS3 isn't too bad a deal in that respect.I like the PS3 and the Wii best, because they have the games I want, and the Wii controller is just cool.

As a big fan of all things gaming/console, I have to say, I really like my X-Box 360, though, I have to admit, unless you have a HD TV you won't notice much of a difference in the graphics, the reason when compared to other consoles (if you look at the small print) the 360 doesn't look as good as the ps3 is because, they use the 360 on a normal tv, and, put the ps3 on hd ... in this case "they" being the sony promoters.However, I must admit, if Sony can get their act together (there are a LOT of issues with the ps3 ... their inability to get full HD out of their console being the most prominant at the moment) it will be a great console, no doubt, but, because they're so far behind, they've lost the majority of their exclusives... time once was, you bought the ps for things like GTA, which has gone to Xbox now, though, I'm sure, when it finally gets off the ground, PS3 will be a great console, but, if you look at the insides of the machines, the xbox and ps3 are very very similar, it's just the blue ray drive that pushes the sony up a price band, so, as I don't yet have a HD tv, I'm sticking with my xbox, as you won't benefit from the better display unless you go HD, same for HD-DVD which comes out on Dec 11th over here for the xbox, it's pointless unless you have a Hi Def display unit.so, 50/50 between those two... whichever has the games you like, is the one to go for in my opinion... so, for me, XBox, as I love my shooters ... Gears of War is amazing, it really gets the adrenaline going!! Now, there's a reason I haven't yet mentioned the Wii ... well, here it is: it's quirky, it's fun, it's different... I really like it, I do want one... not sure I have room, but, I really think it's got a place alongside the new consoles, but, as a direct competitor? No, it's nowhere near as powerful, but, as proven by everyone's (including mine) love for this little system, it's not always the power that proves a system Anyway, gamerspot is one of the main sites I check out when I'm comparing things like this, so, maybe you'd like to check in there... some really useful views on things hope this has helped you somewhat Dan

I don't have a TV right now, but I imagine once the Wii's price has dropped, I will get one.I'm a giant fan of the old school nintendo games. I would LOVE to buy a Wii with a classic controller attachment and download all those old games I remember from back in the day. Also, the zapper attachment for the Wii looks really cool. If Nintendo creates first person acade style shooters (which this system is PERFECT for) then the Nintendo era will reign.Here's the main thought for me. Games are supposed to be fun. Nintendo concentrates on FUN.OH, and for you SEGA fans. Sega is allowing Nintendo to make old SEGA games available for download on the Wii.

I'd heard that about Sega, that'll be really good if they go ahead with that, for classic console fans, you can also download a program called Gens for the mega drive, and, all of sega's games are on there As for me, I still love Killer Instinct on my SNES!! lol Yes, I still have my SNES!! it still rocks... in all its 16 bit glory Well, anyway, have to say, definately looking forward to the Wii myself, wonder how long until the price drops... it's set to market at: £180 over here :SAnyway... roll on that price drop be down to about £150 by easter hopefully... I might entertain one then Dan

SNES = THE SEX! i still have it hooked up in my room, along with my game cube. ive got super mario rpg, chrono trigger, tetris attack, all the donkey kong games, and of course all the mario games, with yoshi island!!! god i love yoshi. and i sooooo wanna wii!!!!

lol i used to play super mario rpg, but my favorite on there was zelda a link to the past, other than that i loved shining force on sega, i had it back when i was like 8 or 9 and my brother lent it along with the console and every other game we had to some friend of his and we never saw any of the games again, i found the game again like 6 years later only to lose it again somehow sheesh

The Wii's look amazing. If I had the money I would definitely get one. Just be careful with the controller

In reply to: super mario rpg, chrono trigger, tetris attack, all the donkey kong games, and of course all the mario games, with yoshi island!!! I love you! All these games rock. In fact, I played tetris attack with all my cousins just this last weekend in a drunken challenge.

LOL. That is hilarious. I've heard of other people accidentally throwing the controller at their TV. People get a little too into it. Still hilarious!

Imagine this! Resident Evil 4 type games with the zapper attachment to aim with!!!
