    In tech specs and pure, raw power? PS3 is much better than both xbox360 or Wii

    games or support? personal opinion. It'll be another year where you start seeing drop dead gorgeous games for 360 and PS3. In about 4 years or so thats when you really start seeing what the system can do.

    Though it shouldn't take too long now. Xbox was always fairly easy to work with and Sony has promised PS3's architecture won't be as daunting as PS2's for progrmamers and designers.

    Look up White Night Story for PS3. WOW! Plus the FF series. Plus KH series. Plus every other good game ever. 360 has Fable and Halo, that's IT.

    Anyways the way I vote is I pick a choice that people will less likely choose. In reality i have no idea what the xbox 360 or PS3 or Wii got to offer...

    PS3: Will pretty much play everything except a frisbee. Aims to be a total entertainment center, beyond videogames.

    Xbox360: Will try to do what Sony does but with much more financial support behind it.

    Wii: Rely on hardcore fanbase and tried and true beloved franchises. Not aiming for technical superiority because Wii isn't too far from Gamecube when it comes to raw specs.

    I just hope PS3 doesn't go the way Dreamcast did.

    I don't believe the ps3 will fail. Although i have been hearing rumours about the games becoming more expensive, which could be a huge problem.

    Dreamcast was badly marketed and had one HUGE system flaw: The games could be hacked without needing any mod chip on the system. Also it had technical limitations and huge PS2 hype didn't help either.

    Why pay $40 for a game which can be downloaded for $0 off the PC!

    Nope. Too much brand loyalty, too much investments from thrid party supporters, extremely good in house development teams with well known franchises, Final Fantasy series, built in Blue ray dvd player (cheapest one on market now is 800+ dollars) and enough orifices to support assload of formats....


    oh, and it also has a pretty nice GPU under the hood. Gran Turismo 5 is going to be so fucking sexy.

    Yeah, Dreamcast was one of the better systems I've ever bought, Shenmue, capcom vs. snk, etc, etc. I was really sad to see it do so poorly. The PS2 was also one of the better sytems I played. It still is, FFXII from what I've read will have a very complex AI system, and as a real time game, it will be very interesting. Also can't you download any games online for free?

    Who cares, is there some prize for selling the most consoles? Obviously some prefer one over the other for various reasons. If both companies make money then they have both won.
     
  21. Let's put it this way:
    You can buy a Wii AND a 360 for less than a PS3
    (In England anyway)

    Sony's relying on their hardcore fan boys. Because the price is gonna put anyone else off.
    But at the end of the day it comes down to clever marketing, which Sony have got pretty much covered.

    This generation of Consoles are more or less specialised computers which gives Microsoft the definate edge. The endless list of bugs and faults as well as failed testing the PS3 has gone through has put me off.
    It keeps over heating and they had to scale it back a bit.

    At the end of the day
    The Wii is a FUN, Family Friendly Console
    The Xbox 360 is a Nice, Safe Option
    The PS3 is potentially the best thing since The Wheel

    Only time will tell.....

    I would say PlayStation 3 will likely be to expensive for anyone other then the most high-end gamers. It's also possible they would include a few naked pics of various sexy woman that worked on development, this would certainly be worth the money then!

    Maybe if the poll was who's gonna sell more consoles. Sure.


    But i'm talking about issues such as gameplay, pricing, and pretty much overall quality. I could give a rats ass who sells more, or who makes more money.
