X-Box:

Had some cool games... ninja gaiden, halo, fable, elder scrolls... lots of these also playable on a computer. Never played much X-Box, but I guess it is worth checking out.


PS2:

I pretty much only got a PS2 for Final Fantasy. FFX, FFX2, KH, KH2. I tried other game series like Armored Core, but they've gone down a path I can't follow. Dark Cloud and DC2 were really fun. I got stuck on Xenosaga and never finished it... Dragon Quest was a huge disappointment. Star Wars Battlefront was freakin amazing, as was SWBF2!


Gamecube:

If not for Final Fantasy, this would definitely be my favorite. Windwaker, while a fun game, was a sucky version of Zelda. OoT was 10x better. Mario Sunshine.... sucked. I quit playing it in disgust. They will never outdo the awesomeness of Super Mario 64. Phantasy Star Online and Legends of Symphonia were 2 amazing rpgs. Skies of Arcadia was kinda fun, but the battle system sucked. It made up with a pretty intriguing story and neat premise. Rogue Squadren pwnz. Metriod and Echos were gods. Star Fox didn't live up to its N64 incarnation...



X-Box 360 is enjoying a lot of early success. The PS3 is making some interesting, but imo unwise decisions. I'd still get it if just for Final Fantasy games. Nintendo is still alive, and they come out with some pretty good NEW games. They totally destroy their sequels, though. Hopefully they will move away from this when they launch the Wii.

The Wii will still have much of the sequals. But I hate the WII becouse of there stuped controller.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA I would and am goin' after the 360, its gaming choices are amazing (I mean the got FFXI from sony so they own even more now!!!) and the graphics from what I have seen are still better than either, and I mean the WII just blows all around sorry no offense meant to you nintendo fans! PS3, well its an alright system, only thing that makes it any competition with the 360 is the fact that they were able to delay the release date cause all of us were blown away by the 360's gaming capabilitys!!!


Well, my two cents

Graphics is the least important aspect of a system. It can look great, but if it has sucky gameplay and a sucky plot, the game will flop. Seems Nintendo is the only system to actually realize that. On the flip side, games the take a long time to load or games that get choppy (slow processer) are annoying.

OoT: Sequel
Super Mario 64: Sequel
Phantasy Star Online: Sequel
Tales of Symphonia: Sequel
Rogue Squadron: Sequel
Metroid Prime 1&2: Sequels

I'm aware that PSO and ToS aren't Nintendo titles, but I think my point still stands. I think saying Nintendo destroys their sequels when every Nintendo game you listed was a sequel of an earlier title is a bit strange. bluetongue.gif

I just whanted to add that if the WII gets any sales it would be becouse its the cheepest new system. I do not like it at all. In my opinion the controller is the worst idea I have ever seen (even though I haven't tryed it out yet). Also the only real good titles for nintendo would be Super Smash Bros an Ledgend of Zelda. All there other games arn't that good.

I think dismissing the wiimote just because it's different is a bit short-sighted. Potentially it could give you a far greater level of control than is currently the case, we'll just have to see how well it is implemented. If it weren't for Nintendo you'd be trying to play Halo 3 with a d-pad and a handful of buttons, they've got somewhat of a history of trying out new interfaces.

Nintendo has always been the right brain thinker of the gaming Industry. They usually sell their system for a lower price because they dont want to get caught up into the HD-DVD and Blu Ray buzz. I applaud Nintendo for being in a class of their own. Sony and Microsoft are the guys you should watch out for. But until both systems launch and have a healthy set of games. You just might never know what will happen. Sadly sony is up the creek without a paddle. A lot of the statements they made about how they would have 2 million units by the Holiday season. They actually only have 500,000 units together. The Blu Ray is going for some $1,000. So until the Blu Ray player balances out and the price drops. Sony is going to be in a major rut. It is already an uphill battle for these guys.

With the cancellation of so many games and a lot of titles moving over to the Xbox 360. Their in for a rough ride for the next year or so. To make matters worse, Microsoft is releasing better and easier development tools for the Xbox 360. Along with the XNA platform where "supposedly" some games are going to allow players on the PC and the Xbox 360 to compete. So yeah...their up the creek without a paddle big time. Their going to need some serious revamping and hauling tail if their going to want to win the Next Gen war. eek13.gif

Xbox 360 - Xbox sucks, need i say more?

PS3 - After price drop, yes.

Wii - Yes, i shall get 2 so i can go Wii Wii! bluetongue.gif

Xbox doesn't catch my eye as being worth it. I like a couple of the games, but i can get them on other consoles. PS3 has Final Fantasy as well as other games i like. And i've always been a Nintendo fan, not to mention Wii is the cheapest, so i may just go for that. I like the idea of it being backwards compatable too. Not sure what i think of the controller yet, but i'll decide when i've tried it out. I'd rather just plug a GC controller in and play with that.
