Wii vs PS3 vs XBOX 360..YOU Decide the Winner
September 17th 2006 08:40
Ok, I'm going to try little experiment here...
I'm opening up thegeekspeak to you guys. I want to know what your thoughts are on the three consols in the next-gen war (if that doesn't sound like a great title for a comic I don't know what does).
Which console are you going to buy? Which one would you buy? Will you buy two? Will you buy none? Why will you buy none....waitaminute...
Regardless, you get the idea. Post your thoughts below, and in a months time or so I shall collate all of the responses and decalre a winner.
(Of course if no-one replies, I may just forget I ever posted this as to not bruise my fragile male ego)
Let the discussions BEGIN!!! (Imagine I said that in a Shao Kahn voice)

And I can't wait to buy Zelda again. WOOOO!

This console launch from Nintendo is different than the others, because something new and innovative is coming out. I hope the Wii takes back a large chunk of the market share, maybe then those casual gamers with their XBoxes and Playstations will see some real gaming!

So far, looks like Wii is going to kick some plastic console arse...if there is such a thing...there isn't.

I will only get a PS3 if the price goes down and Metal Gear Solid 4 comes out.

Do you like the price of the PS3 as well?

The X-Box 360 seems like an updated version of the X-Box with roughly the same games.
Though, during this wait for the ps3 I may snap up the Wii depending on how financial I am and whether the ps3 is ridiculously priced or is plain insanity in a price tag.
That Link game does look awesome..

The PS3 was going to be a no-brainer... Then along came the stupid blu-ray drive.
Shortages of the new drive caused massive delays. I ain't waiting till March 2007 for a PS2, I'll be in line for a Wii.
Plus the Wii is different, and different is nearly always good.
Plus the PS3 remote does not have vibration, the Wii-remote has vibration and a small SFX speaker! Bring it on!
I'll also save myself $600 - amazing!

The PS3 really does look like an over priced hype machine.
Comment by Geoff
The Wii appears too kiddy, and as someone else said, you want to relax and play video games, not jump around the room.
I'm going to put my vote in for the xbox360.
When are the results of this thing going to be up?

PS3- 1/10
360- 4/10
Wii- 10/10
and the gamecube did have some good titles like the wind waker, ssb melee, starfox and paper mario. those games rocked my socks off!

the PS3 is way over priced i thought the PSP was pricey but i bought it anyway and i am not buying any thing with the PS name until there handhelds cost less than $150 and the consoles $300.
As far as Nintendo I grew out of the N64 6 years ago
These are the consoles I have had in the past so you will not think I am a fanboy. If anything I am defiantly not a fan of the original Xbox.
Nintendo 64
PS1
PS2
SEGA Dreamcast (big mistake)
Comment by Benjum
Now while I don't yet know how much Wii games will be, I can't see them being over $100
Anotehr blow for the PS3?
Comment by Frosty_the_punk
nintendo. for the first time in eight years i'm truly excited about console gaming...PLEASE don't let me down.
Comment by AA
wii should be rewarded with it innovation of gaming, and this is a first step for all future games. similiar to what I saw in gundam 20 years ago.

Firstly, you point out that the Wii isn't innovative as all it does is cut the control in two..I think you missed the point there son. You MOVE the remote to MOVE that character on the screen. That is something different, something that hasn't been done before, therefore innovative.
Try and have some facts before you pointlessly attack. Tell me, were you the type of kid who drew pictures of Sonic ripping Mario's head off and sent it into game magazines? If we are all 8, then that would make you........a cock.
Be nice next time.

also, the wii is a step behind the next-gen consoles in graphics, and the controller is the stupidest thing i have ever scene. who wants to play a game with a long thin remote, similar to the one you turned the TV on with?
...and what kind of name is wii? Revolution sounded waaaaaaaaay better.

I bought the 360 because a) It's less expensive than the PS3 will be, b) Its performance will be very comparable to PS3, c) Online play is proven and unsurpassed.
As for the Wii? I may buy one. I'll wait and see how well its received upon its release and go from there.
PS3 is somewhere between a maybe and a probably not for me. The online play and the success or failure of BluRay will decide that one for me.

Although PS3, Wii and 360 are all next gen.. Microsoft have only two consoles released..
PlayStation will have their third,
I've lost count with Nintendo,
Which means Microsoft will be due with yet another console.. which will defiantly blow the PS3 and Wii away.. So I'll keep my 360, tough it out until Microsoft raise the bar a little higher

And you know this how? .. How do you know there isn't something Microsoft is developing right now ? You criticize me for estimating how long it will take for Microsoft to bring out a new console, yet you do the same yourself without any reliable source of information.. Sorry to say, but you're the one who comes off 'stupid' here.
Microsoft already has a head start with the release of the next console, since Sony and Nintendo are still developing and releasing their next gen consoles now.
Even if it is five years before Microsoft develops a new console , the 360 will stay alive and competitive until the next console is released.

Wii- ITS A MONSTER!!!
Xbox 360- EVEN WORSE, ITS PS3
- I hope that PS3 is built to last. Cause if it breaks, ur really F*CKED lol.

the wiimote is a stupid way to play a shooting game, and uses a control as a gun is not new to the wii. the ps1, not that i like playstation, used a control gun, as has the ps2 and xbox. all the games that have used it have been fun at first, but the novelty of having to aim at the screen to shoot that place gets old very quickly.

If you have seen some of the game demos you will notice it is being used like a mouse, to not only point and shoot but also to move the camer around since it is an fps game.
I hope this has been enlightening.
Comment by person
it does not look good, and it has completely ruined the zelda franchise by giving it a more 'adult' look to it.
the original zeldas on n64 had a way better graphics style.

TP is no more than an advanced n64 zelda 'art style', the only time it has deviated from this development was from windwaker.
Whatever you might say though it is perhaps the most anticipated game of the year.

when they gave the new zelda a new look the took away the original graphics that made the game great. i thought zelda on n64 was the best single player game on any console, up until the xbox was released. (ps2 never had any good games) (neither does ps3)
the graphics are not the only downfall...
when they gave link the ability to turn into a wolf, i decided that the game was stupid and it was just following the kid crap that is going to be the wii.
