Yeah, Nintendo is the only ones making a profit off the console itself. Which seems a bit selfish, but they are in the business of making money, and I suppose that profit does then go towards funding games I'll want to play. If anyone is 'money-grabbing', I'd say it'd be the microtransactions on Xbox Live.

I heard someone bought a PS3 and opened it up, and they figured all the parts together to be worth $800-900. They're actually losing money on the PS3s in the hope that they will make more on everything else, especially games. So, I'd have to argue your saying that Sony is "money-grabbing".

My gaming future? I'm getting a broken PS2 for Christmas. I'm going to get one with a disc read error, and try to fix it. There are still so many amazing games on the PS2, so its pretty stupid to forget about it with this new wave of consoles.

Ive got one for sale...

Xbox FTW.

[Ferret Overlord]

I just learned I'm getting a Wii for Christmas. Booyah.

[Troll]

Xbox FTW.

Xmadole, may you give me a big list of facts why the Xbox is better. Becuase first of all, the PS3 and Wii havent had a chance to show off there potential yet, and second the "Xbox" is last Gen now.

And to be honest, im thinking im gonna be getting a Wii first.

[Neraphym]

Super Nintendo FTW!!!

Heh, well it's not too difficult to see where the bias in that review is. I'd just like to point out that reviewing the three systems when one has been out over a year and the other two are newly released is a bit silly. You're basing quite a lot of the review off the games that are currently available, and there's no possible way that Nintendo or Sony could match the quantity of 360 releases in such a short amount of time. I haven't been following the PS3 release schedules very much, but there are some excellent games scheduled for the Wii in 07, including those aimed at hardcore gamers. The launch titles for the 360 were pretty weak, as most launches are, so don't judge things quite yet.

Discription- Ninttendo clearly knows that it is not able to beat xbox or sony so they did there own thing.

Statements like that lead me to believe you really missed the point of the Wii, and the direction that Nintendo has been going for years. If all three major players are focusing on graphics and processing power, systems will just keep getting more powerful and more expensive. Games will take much longer to make, and will become much more expensive to produce (and likely, to buy). For that reason, developers will not be willing to risk that money taking chances, and so we'll be seeing clone after clone of the current style of games, with very little innovation at all. Why bother creating something new when you can just make another generic FPS? Nintendo isn't trying to 'win', just create some new experiences and attract enough of a following of both casual and hardcore gamers that they can make some money while they're at it. If you're obssessed with the latest graphics the system probably isn't for you, but it certainly doesn't lose any points to the other systems on gameplay simply because it's less powerful.


Furthermore, the Wii's online system sounded fairly decent to me. The PS3 was possibly a little weaker in that department, but given that the 360 is the only system trying to charge money for its online services, I'd say it'd lose some points right there. You left off your 'price' score for 360, where it's clearly behind the Wii. And if you're not going to be using the entire scale of 1 to 10, it seems a little odd making it out of 10. Your lowest result was a 5, and you gave the mammothly expensive Ps3 a 7/10 for price.


Sorry if I sound harsh or anything, but figured I'd add in my opinions to your research.

Ok, first of all I know that the 360 has already been out for a yr but that just prooves it to be better then the Wii and the PS3 agin. Did you know the xbox team spent mopre money then ps3 and Wii combined? With that in there hands they had the same knolage of the Wii and PS3 a yr earlyer. Also you would think that with the Wii's and PS3's delayed launches that they would atleast have some good games out. But I was clearly wronge on them. Wii is still makingh tons of games featuring its now LOW SELLLING famouse carrecter mario. It just keeps making everything a huge story and doesn't whant to creat anything new.

Also when you say xbox live does charge money for its game play, do you actuly know how much they charge? They only charge 50$ a yr wich is nothing compaired to what you can get with xbox live. Also come on, one perscription to WoW (15$ a moneth) is more then 10$ a month then xbox live. And with xbox live you get unlimited gameplay and unlimeted games. Yes, I know PS3 and the Wii have online features, but they arnt the best online features. they are basicly the same as the PS2 features exept PS3 has a web browser (yay more things to screw it up).

Also yes I am clearly with the xbox360 becouse I think its the best choice.

OBJECTION!!!!!

I fell out of my chair IRL. I really did. And I was in the middle of a big conversation with Maxi.

No. The fact that the Xbox has been out longer does NOT prove it's better than either alternative system. Now, me personally? I'm an Xbox fan. I really am. However, I'm never going to stoop so low as to say it's superior to other consoles because I dislike others. (Which I don't. They all provide the same chance to throw my life away. <3)

But in your statement that the 360 is older meaning it's better? BS. Pure BS.

The PS3 is designed for more power than a 360. That thing is definitely the definition of power. The 360 may have more games out currently, but ffs dude, give the developers a chance. The thing was released what, not a few weeks ago, and you're already whining that it doesn't have enough good games out?

The PS3 very well has a chance to rival the 360 in terms of gameplay.

The Wii. The Wii makes me laugh, not in a bad way. I'm actually very fond of what their doing in terms of gameplay. Dude, for Gods sakes, the Wii is freaking genious in how you play the game. Zelda? Swing the controller, you swing the sword. Sounds stupid, but it's incredibly innovative.

If you're going to bash them, at LEAST have some information about what on earth you're talking about. I hate console fanboys. While I'm inclined to like the 360, I'm not one to put down every other system because Xbox is my personal preference of gaming time.

Microsoft has better games than Playstation and Nintendo? What world do you live in? I have played all three systems extensively and Microsoft only has one or two great games only available only for itself. Nintendo has Metroid, Mario, Zelda, etc., Playstation has Final Fantasy, Kingdom Hearts, Armored Core, God of War and so on. When it comes to great games, Microsoft was the only system that left me wanting. You're right about the other specs, though.

The Wii is interesting. It played out to be a lot better than what I thought it was going to be. Because of the great games, cheap price, and unique play style, I'd recommend the Wii first for those on a budget. If PS3 didn't cost a billion dollars, I'd take it over the pack. The 360 is last on my list, but only because I don't own any X-Box games (I borrowed an rented).

You may wanna look threw your game list agin. Xbox team has bought tons of new titles that is only for them. Trust me man there are tons of new fantastic games for the 360. I also myself choose better over more games. This is just my opinion.

Also did you know intense video games/1st player shooters work best with xbox360 :/. Even 3rd party games work best with the 360.

Also you guys should know the more you argue with my review the more I will change it.

Right. Xbox has more titles because it's BEEN HERE LONGER.

The Wii and PS3 haven't been out long enough to produce enough games to get good PR by sheer heresay. While Dead Rising and Gears of War are games everyone talks about. Give it a year. Developers will find a way to encorporate the PS3s power to make some of the greater games out there.

And I just want to try a Wii because it looks fun to use. Nintendo has always been about fun. Not blood, gore, or violence. They've always (To me) seemed like the system you sit down to play and have a good time. Not be competitive or Xbox Live Halo 2 noob.

Well, first of all I am not a fanboy of anything. I actuly own one system and that is the Gamecube. Also when I said that PS3 had bad games I ment this becouse I hurd about how great the PS3 was 5 years ago. There was just so much talk about how awsome it will be and stuff liek that. But when it actuly came out it was a pritty bad launch. It wasn't what I was expecting the PS3 to live up to.

Also, yes I did'nt give alote of creadit to the Wii about its controler. I actuly do think its pritty good but the only bad thing is the games. I realy like Zelda and Super Smash Bros. Infact they where the 1st games I bought and bought the gamecube becouse of them. I am just so unhappy the Nintyendo just keeps making up such long storys with its clasic Mario carecters. Also they dont have that good o games outside those 2 games. The Wii to me would only last me like 1-2months. That is why I agve it such bad ratings.

[Nate]

Mario and Zelda is the halo of Nintendo, Of course theres gonna be alot of games with them in it.

[Res]

And the PS3s launch resulted in death to a few people. People weren't looking forward to it at aallll.

5 years have passed since the PS3 was mentioned, and they've had time to improve upon ideas, and realize what statements were too unreal.

Sega Genesis ftw.

[Skyone]

Atari 2600 ftw!

[Neraphym]

Hoop and stick ftw!

[Jake]

I havent had the chance to even SEE a ps3 in person yet so I have no idea what the online stuff is like. And I havent been able to see what the online portion of a 360 is like. But the original xbox live is buggy as hell and most games on it suck... so stop acting like its god.

The wii seems like a fun little thing to mess around with. I hope it has multiplayer sword fighting games .

The ps3 is exactly what the xbox was 5 yrs ago, a computer in a box with its own software. Ever looked inside a xbox? Comes complete with a dvd player, 10 GB hd (both EIDE), a 40 pin ribbon cable, motherboard, a psu, and a fan... exactly like a computer without expansion slots, and it was the most powerful console on the market but its games were garbage for a while. Who's to say the ps3 wont be the same? Graphics and power dont make the games. If anything i'd be more sure of the wii's future than the 360 or ps3.

[Res]

It's up to the game makers to use the power the PS3 weilds correctly. The whole thing rides on that. If they can come up with some new, innovative games and make them look great as well, they'll rock.

Xbox 360, the online portion of it is pretty nice. You can unlock little prizes from playing games and get rewards in the Xbox Market place, like game downloads, wallpapers, music, stuff like that. And it's not buggy at all. At least when I played Halo 2 on it with LAN and on XBL. It ran the game on both setups equally great.

[Jake]

On the original xbl you...

Get randomly kicked out of BF2 MC servers
Cant normally see what game people on your friends list are playing when youre on halo2
Cant join certain peoples parties because of mysterious "connection problems"
Cant log in to BF2 MC
Cant log in to live at times
People with DSL get the connection host about 50% of the time on games with the connection host feature.
Get paired up with people from new zealand, france, and england during matchmaking

and the list goes on.







I want a 360 soo bad.

[Spikeout]

I have a 360 and I personally can't wait to finish the Halo storyline and put it all together in March
I also look forward to getting a PSP this Christmas and wasting my life on LCS, VCS, Medievil: Ressuruction, and a few other fun games that I might stumble into My brothers are getting the PS3/Wii
