Wii Wars

[Joker Boy]

This thread should probably be in the Crossfire board but oh well:

There is so much rivalry about all the different gaming systems such as Sony's Playstation 3, Microsoft's XBoX 360, and Nintendo's Wii.

Post what you think is your favorite and if you are not too lazy post why it is your favorite too and maybe a pic of one of them. Can't wait to see the Wii!!

*moved* and idk, the PS3 from what i've seen is pretty nice, but way to expensive for any normal person, the xbox 360 is pretty sweet, and the wii looks awesome, and very within a budget

 

[Derek]

Ill buy the wii because the ps3 cost too much and same with 360. but i might get the 360

 

[Spartan Erik]

Definitely the 360. Wii looks too.. childish, and the PS3 is way too expensive. I wouldn't spend $700 to just play video games..

 

[Rufio1]

The Wii all the way for me. To me graphics are secondary to game play. the Wii introduces a new type of playing system which IMO looks pretty awesome. The other two consoles are just to expensive for my taste.

anyways...y is the DS up there in the poll. its not really a console...

DS is nintendos and the DS LITE is the new one.

Wii > 360 > PS3

 

[Joker Boy]

Wii > 360 > PS3

What you mean? You mean Wii owns the 360 and PS3 or PS3 will pwn Wii? Explain plz. :nuts:

 

[Chris Z]

i believe he means Wii is better than 360 which is better than the PS3

 

[HyDr@]

DS is nintendos and the DS LITE is the new one.

Erm... Dont act like people are damn stupid, NDSL is NOT a console, its a portable.

Looks like you're the stupid one, its NDS LITE not NDS LIGHT :nuts:

Also, you never heard of the "Greater than" sign?

 

[Chris Z]

HyDr@, please do not flame other members, that was an inappropriate comment

 

[Rufio1]

DS is nintendos and the DS LITE is the new one.

i know what the DS lite is (i have one), but all the same its still not a console, and nowhere near in the same league as the PS3 or the X-box 360. If you were to compare the DS to anything it would be the PSP.

Hydra yes he was wrong, but i dont think you had to tell him off so harshly:happysad:

 

[Marky]

I vote for the PS3, just a shame that it's so expensive!
And backpacking isn't really a well paid job )

 

[Rufio1]

problem with the PS3 is that...well everything. graphics are great and all, but there's something wrong with the hard drive so it can't be backwards compatible and i heard the there's something wrong with the fan so its overheating easily. I also heard that no more PS3 will be shipped to USA until march

If you want a PS3 wait until the rerelease, so its better, actually works, and probably smaller.

 

[ZeptOr]

Wii all the way. I am looking forward to SSBB and Redsteel looks pretty sweet

It's simple mathematics, Wii is better than the 360, which is better than PS3.

As others have pointed out, the Wii, PS3, and Xbox 360 are "next-gen" gaming consoles and the DS Lite is a portable like the PSP. Due to that, it doesn't really belong in this poll but it would fit perfectly in a PSP/DS Lite poll.

I don't have any of them yet, and might not ever get one. I like the PS3 because you can install another operating system from the menu. Instead of discouraging people from doing this, they make it easier for them. They seem supportive of GNU/Linux and actually sold a Linux kit for the PS2, which is cool although they don't sell it in the USA anymore, which is said to be because of lack of sales.

It's hard for me to know what console is the best until I've actually tried the consoles I have to choose between. I'll probably end up liking the PS3 the most, but I didn't vote for it.

Instead, I voted for the Wii. The Xbox 360 and PS3 aren't bad or anything, but they're the same thing we're used to, just with better graphics. The Wii is the only console that introduces us to something that's unique, and different from what we've had with previous consoles.

There's also a motion sensor in the PS3's controllers, but it seems more like something added on as an extra feature and not something that Sony is completely focused on. The Wii is designed around the single feature, and Nintendo has chosen to make games that are based on that. The PS3 controller is nearly identical to the PS2's, and wouldn't be very good for playing tennis. Pretty graphics seem to be the PS3's main selling point. That's not a bad thing, but I can get pretty graphics on the PC and with the advantage of something more precise than an analog stick: a mouse.

The Wii still gets my vote because it's unique.

i prefer XBoX 360...

great graphics.. and that's what i want to play .. i'd like to live in the game not just play a game

 

[apple19]

I dunno.......I guess Wii is cool........................PS3 is way too expensive, and 360 is cool.......I dunno though......I may need to go with 360

 

[Spartan Erik]

Haha wow I'm suprised by the results; why did anyone vote PS3? Sure, it's got great hardware, but it will be YEARS until gaming companies put that much money into developing games with graphics that will even utilize that much hardware power! PS3 games are rather lousy too (unless you love RPGs); I on the other hand love FPS games, like Gears of War and the Halo series, which is why my vote goes to the 360.

If I could make an additional vote, I would vote the Wii. Yes, it is a childish console, but it does provide easy thrills. However, I do believe the Wii is overpriced, since all it really is is a motion sensor. Seriously, if you play Wii sports, there is no base running or manual catching when it comes to the baseball game; all you have to do is swing your arm! It gets boring if you're only with another person, but it is amusing if you're at a party of upwards of 30 people. IMO the Wii should be priced <$100.
