PS3 Xbox 360 or Nintendo Revolution

Even if I was a Sony fan, I doubt I'd buy a PS3; it's just not worth it for $600, and the $500 version is naturally inferior. As far as I can see the only thing the PS3 has going for it is MSG4 and FF13. I must say, I don't see the logic in revealing FF13 when FF12 hasn't even been released yet. Way to play it up to the fanboys...in any case, I haven't been very impressed with the PS3 yet. Same goes for the 360.

Wii, however, does have me excited, even if for no other reason than online Super Smash Bros., and in addition to that there's Red Steel, FF:Crystal Chronicles, Metroid Prime 3, Animal Crossing, Project: HAMMER, and so on. Then there's the 20 years of Nintendo games as well as Sega Genesis and whatever the other system is games. Can you argue with being able to play Kid Icarus and Super Mario RPG again? I think not. I also don't believe that the theory of the Wiimote being tiring to the arms has any merit; Miyamoto himself said that it works best if you hold it in your lap like any other controller. 'Nuff said. Looking forward to it ^_^

I would say PS3, Even if its expensive its really a cheaper alternative to a high-end pc. Seriously for that new dell xps with everything top it goes up to 8,000 some USD, heck You could buy about 13 PS3s So for such amazingly beautiful graphics, great game line-up, I would say it is totally worth the price

PS3 - Ever since Sony entered the Console Market. No one has kicked it out in the top position. PS3 will be the latest to release but it will not fail. It contains very advanced hardware, software and graphics. Lot of games to choose from.
X-BOX 360 - Very good graphics but nonetheless, it wil never kick Sony out of the top spot. Cheaper than PS3 but suffers from the limited choices of games like its predecessor X-BOX. BTW, X-BOX games are the most expensive in the three.
Nintendo Revolution - Very good innovation, the controller. Gives the player full movement. It may not reach the top spot but it will be the a good buy.

I would guess that PS3 is going to be very good... First and foremost I would love PS3 because they released a lot of anime games (good for me XD) and Sony's concept for PS3 looked really promising... for now, I am just going to play with my friends Wii Laughing

Sony is going to copy everything that xbox 360 has and make it better than put it in ps3. but I'm going to wait till all 3 system are out before i pick one it mostly depends on the games that the system going to have and it replay value

One can speculate all one wants based on a console's specs, but it all comes down to the games. It's up to the games to take advantage of the hardware and make the player interested. No matter how amazing the console, it won't make anyone happy just sitting there and staring at it.

Therefore I think PS3will be the best. XBox really has had no truely outstanding game (with the exception of Halo) to speak off. Nintendo somehow has fallen off the map, the games seem to be targetted to a very young audience lately and there has been just too must Mario, I mean, you can only go so far riding the coatails of a character that's as several times as old as the players.

Playstation, however, has many long established games, such as Final Fantasy, Metal Gear Solid, and Tekken (and there's even DOA2 for PS2). It also has a healthy array of newer franchises: Kingdom Hearts, Grand Theft Auto, or Ace Combat, as well as its share of one-hit-wonders:Star Ocean, Kill Zone, Dead to Rights.

Therefore, PS3 isn't burdened with the process of setting up a core franchise line, nor is it burdened with the staleness of a single character dominating all the games.

no way in hell are ps3 games going to be cheaper than 360 games. The minimum price currently slated by Sony is said to be 59.99 thats the cost of a 360 game now. the maximum price which Sony has stated to "possibly" (but for sony if they possibly say a price that will be more than what they possibly hope for its obviously going to be that price) be for the "top notch games" is 99 dollars.

As for the whole kill zone thing... kill switch is there to and its on every platform, and its actually better than kill zone in my opinion.

Doa 2 is outdated maybe not by Doa 3 but definitely by DOA 4 which is an xbox exlusive like tekken to playstation.

Grand theft auto is not playstation exclusive anymoer so you can't argue on that. Dead to rights is not either.

Ace combat is and that pisses me off very much Razz

Basically put, there are MANY top games coming out for 360: halo 3 gears of war and many more. You can't argue the game factor in quality anymore against sony and microsoft, you can only argue quantity. And when you argue quantity youre argueing costs as well, microsoft defeats sony in price. Thus is general if people with a ps3 and people with a 360 had the same budget for spending on games, the quality and quantity of those games would be won by 360 cept for the couple of quality games ps3 will have over the 360.

I have no question that xbox 360 is going to drive the ps3 off the charts because it wont, but I wont be surprised if the ps3 doesnt do as well as the 360 in america.

No matter what, it all just depends on time so yeah.

Definitely Wii (Revolution).

Why? PS3 will have no good games whatsoever, besides a Final Fantasy game. That's one. And even then, Microsoft got the patent for basically every single existing work, so now all PS3 will have is movie-based games and wannabe racing games. Microsoft's XBox360 will be basically the same thing as XBox, no surprises there.

But Wii has potential. It can appeal to a wider audience as well as introduce new ways to play the games we know and love.

So this is basically an overview:
PS3: Amazing graphics, expensive, no good games, and a tilt sensor that's not even worth mentioning (i'm not sure if you people have all heard this yet, but they actually copied that from Nintendo's idea of motion detecting- no, i'm not a conspiracy nut, it's actually a known fact)

XBox360: Great games, but almost no new ways to play. Basically the same as all the systems we already have. Price will be in the middle of PS3 and Wii.

Wii: Cheaper than the other systems (confirmed to be less than $250), innovative game play, more third party support than GameCube had, and... Mario.

This is what i predict in the game market- XBox360 is already out, so they'll give us pretty good games. PS3 is predicted to be released around the same time that Microsoft is releasing Halo 3 (uncomfirmed). Of course, most gamers will be grabbing Halo 3 and completely ignoring PS3 (this was actually Microsoft's marketing plan). PS3 is out of the way. I'm not saying it sucks, but the odds are stacked against it. Wii will come out, and a lot of people, including people who've never gamed before, will think it's quirky and fun and will pick it up. Add that to the existing Nintendo fanboys (there's a lot of them, if you care to count), and XBox360 and Wii will sell approximately around the same range of units, maybe with Wii a little less (i don't think the whole "appealing to a wider audience" thing will work that well). So the order of dominance will be: XBox360, Wii, Play-Doh, and PS3. Actually, with Play-Doh's popularity with a young audience, it might outsell all of the consoles. Of course, Play-Doh's not a game system, but you get the idea.

well actually, it would kind of be better if the newer games didn't have any history to build on. Why? Because then we'll see entirely new games, with new concepts, and such.

You can't just judge a system on its past merits. Sure, Sony has had pretty much the best games ever so far, excluding old-school games like Kid Icarus, FFI-VI, and such. In fact, I could consider myself a Sony fanboy, because almost every game I play and love is from the PlayStation. For example, i'm completely obsessed with Dynasty Warriors, and I remember zoning out in front of the TV for a full week (my parents were in Texas) just watching the graphics and listening to the music that the PS2 made possible. But now, i'm not so sure if Sony is doing everything it can to satisfy us as gamers. The PS3's controls aren't a far cry from the original PlayStation, for example, which means that they're simply attempting to use what was proven to work. But what worked eleven years ago just isn't working so well now, especially since we haven't seen much innovative ideas coming from that direction.

Final Fantasy XIII seems to show promise, though. :] But i'm afraid that just isn't enough to make me want to buy the PS3.

"old/bad games"- WHAT!? You are DISSING KIRBY!? I am going to find your house and stuff a Kirby figurine into your mouth and make you suffocate!!!!! Kirby is not a "bad" game- go ahead and judge by its sales, that is where fact lies. Next you'll be saying that Pokemon is a failure. -.-' They may both be for younger audiences and seem to us lame, but they are both EXTREMELY successful and i would advise you to not consider something like Kirby a "bad" game. And as for "old," "old" is where most of the good games are. I thought you were the person talking about how it's good for a gaming company to have something to build off of?

Oh, I formally apologize for using an innappopriate analogy.[/quote]

oooooooh its hard to say!!!!
all of them looks incredible, each one with his advantages and stuff..
the only thing that bothered is the price that will come out with the ps3
im mean...
u can buy a xbox 360 and a Wii with the monney u would use on the ps3
so it just dont give me any reason to buy it
it got all that newest technology stuff but the only thing that changed seems to be the graphics, and not the gameplay... and i put more wothy on fun anyway Laughing

dude, stick with the Wii. it comes with great games and graphics. the games are nice, but i have difficulty why people like the controller so much. its like something from an adult simulation game -.-
guess PS3 would win if it wasnt so dam much.
resident evil 5 will .. be.. amazing...
its... worth it... almost...

THe reason why i havent included the Xbox 360 in this is because many of the 360 games are coming out for Windows Vista. If the games werent coming out for Vista, i would have gone for the 360. Its relatively cheap, and has realllly good graphics.
