Wii, PS3, Or 360?

[theKOT]

With another round of console wars upon us, which are you gonna get? Vote and comment!

[The Demented One]

I'm getting a Wii, though I really wish I could also afford a 360.

[UnrealTiger]

Wii all the way baby, that is of course if I get one of the next-gen consoles at all.

Ah who am I kidding, I'll most likely get it as soon as it comes out, I've been without my Nintendo fix for too long (by Nintendo I mean Zelda:Twilight Princess, I swear if I don't play it I'll go crazy after having pre-ordered it back in June only for it to be delayed again and again ;_;)

I wish I could get both, but for some reason they have to make me do this strange thing called "pay".... aigh...
At least the Wii looks fun.

[Nero24200]

PS3 here for me. Also I'm not sure about the wii, the last thing I want is to announce to my firends "Hey guys, guess what, I managed to get a wii!"

[Tormsskull]

Im really surprised by these results so far. I thought Nintendo was marketing mainly as a young kids system these days. I already have a 360, which is awesome (especially Oblivion) and a friend is getting PS3 so I don't see the point in getting one. I hadn't even looked at the Wii.

well considering you haven't even lookled at the wii then its not suprising that you find i the results surprising

[theKOT]

Very good answer Rumada.

No the wii is doing well cause this is a nerdy place it is using a new, fun system for video game control, and most people don't want to pay 600 bucks.
Ya know what? Don't listen to me. Just watch this. THAT is why the Wii is doing well.

And let us not forget that nintendo won this year's E3 while Sony failed miserably.
If you can believe it, there was even worse stuff than that.
RIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIDGE RACER!

[Crazy Owl]

I will probably get all of them at some point. I already have a 360 and I will probably get a Wii next. As for the PS3 that price as long way to drop before I buy it.

[theKOT]

Seriously though. This was a terrible press conference for Sony.

But lets ignore the terrible job they did at hyping their system. It is going to be extremely powerful, and they are selling it at a three hundred dollar loss. A computer with the same specs as the PS3 would cost at least twice as much.

But I'm still a Wii60 guy.

Sony games are gonna cost 60 dollars. The system is going to be expensive for a long time, and by the time it is affordable, the next Xbox will be out. Not to mention that I wouldn't get to attached to Sony. Their business model is doomed. Selling at a three hundred dollar loss and using third party games means a gamer must buy at least seventeen PS3 games before they break even. They are already hurting from the laptop battery recall and if the PS3 flops, they could very well go bankrupt.

[Alex Star]

I have a 360 and I'll be getting a Wii... eventually I'm sure I'll get a PS3 but right now the pricepoint on it coupled with Sonys arrogance towards the consumer is a little disheartening...

[Lawful_Stupid]

Wii. I must have my Zelda now.

If Sony goes bankrupt from the PS3, hopefully Square goes to Nintendo. KH3 on Wii, I say.

[The Black Prince]

I think I'll get the Wii because I currently own a gamecube and Smash Bros. whatever looks really cool. I just wish I coulld get all of them.

[Ebonwoulfe]

It's not just this listing - it's everything about it. The Wii is going to kill. Just like the DS is the premire handheld gaming device, the Wii is going to be the premire home gaming device. Sure, the games may not have cutting edge HD-TV splitting goodness, but they're still going to be better than the GameCube. We won't be back in SNES days just because the console isn't as powerful as a PS3.

Another thing is that Wii hasn't set itself as an either one-or-the-other system. If you get a PS3 or 360, you can still afford a Wii. However, I don't think that many people will be getting both a 360 and PS3.

Now that I think about it, I guess the retro gaming aspect means we will be back in the SNES days...

[neriana]

Wii. I must have my Zelda now.

Just imagine, a Final Fantasy in which gameplay and story take precedence over graphics...

I... I.. just can't do it...

A little fatalistic, even if they do suck at gaming stuff. Just remeber, Sony gaming may go out, but Sony itself won't they do things other than PlayStation y'know. Like, y'know, every other electronic device known to man.

And did you know that the Wii only has a 750 is mhz processor? Kinda wierd when you think about how much the background programs take up on a computer.

[neriana]

I have a computer with an incredible processor. I don't need a second computer. The Wii looks like a ton of fun, and that's what matters.

[Reinforcements]

I said it in the other thread, but I guess it bears saying again.

Wiiiii!

[LordOfNarf]

I said it in the other thread, but I guess it bears saying again.

Wiiiii!

Can you please explain how that at all relates to the wii?

[Sholos]

And now that the PS3's having problems playing older games....

Go Nintendo! Go Nintendo!

I already have a 360, so now I'm rooting for the Wii.

[Krytha]

As far as I can tell, nothing, but I did laugh.

If you want to stretch for an argument, the excitement the IE icon is experiencing is linked to everyone's favourite little console. Im sure we'll all be babbling idiots once we get our grubby paws on that... thing...

Wiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii

Okay, I was also initially quite confused with the amount of people going for the Wii. Then I saw that video of the guy playing golf with it, and I have to say I'm pretty much sold! That looks frigging awesome! Now me and my mates can get a round in even if its not the middle of summer! My only worry is does one need a decent-sized TV to really get much out of it?

Anyway, I'll probably also be getting a 360, cos from what I've seen of it it has a lot of good party games, whereas I don't know much about the Wii at all (clearly Nintendo's marketing efforts, if they even exist, have passed me by). Oh, and the 360 will also have Mass Effect, which I need.

PS3? Hah, sort the price out guys. I can't even currently afford either of the other two right now, so it'll be years before the PS3 comes close to even being an option.

[neriana]

A display PS3 caught fire in one of our stores. The PS3 in our store already locked up once. Heh.

I'm sure, like Microsoft with the 360, they'll eventually fix the system so it, like, works right. Maybe they'll even admit to problems sooner than Microsoft did. And get some passable games on it besides Resistance. But for now, it's rather amusing.

[Logic]

I bought the 360 a few hours prior to the official launch of the PS3.
I plan to buy all 3 eventually, in order to avoid missing out on the "Must Have" games each has to offer.

[Beleriphon]

Like I told the guys, I'm not paying $800.00 to play one game. Stupid Final Fantasy XIII and my obession with playing that game. I suppose I can just wait for the PC port.

[B-Man]

I'll be getting the Wii for three reasons:
1. Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess
2. Super Smash Bros. Brawl (even if Snake is in it)
3. I was raised on Nintendo.

Seriously, I've been playing Nintendo since I was four!

[Jibar]

Wii all the way.
1. Nintendo.
2. Something new.
3. Nintendo.
4. Twilight Princess.
5. Still waiting for a Star Fox game where I can order my wingmates about with a headset.
"Falco, cover me. Krystal, takes out the group to my right. Slippy, fly into that building."

Though I wouldn't pay for one, I'd gladly own a 360. Quality gaming console. Good range of games. Online play and what not.

But the PS3. Ugh.
I own a PS2. It's alright. Not exactly the greatest thing out there. I was pretty annoyed when I found out newer games wouldn't work on my console, and I had to wait for it to break down and then buy a new slim line one to play newer PS2 games.
But the PS3...ugh. I never liked the sound of it from the beginning, when I heard it was going to feature motion sensing devices in the controller I flipped, and then I read a review from a man I trust, considering video games are a minor part of his job so he has no real biases.
His review was pretty much comparing it to the 360. And he actually said there was nothing seperating the two but the extra features Sony added.
So, yeah. If I wanted a £450 360 with some added stuff that will mean nothing to me, I'd totally buy a 360.

[Ridi Kulas]

I'm going with a Wii, because I'm not rich. X-box costs less than a PS3, but they're both fairly expensive for something to play games on.
