Serious discussion of Current Consoles (PS3, X360, Wii)

[Raytheon]

I feel the 360 just has no GREAT exclusive games that don't have you shooting everything. Gears is brilliant and so is Halo 3 but other genres are fun as well you know. The 360 has a lot of games but I find myself playing the PS3 more simply because I'm not afraid of it breaking every time I turn it on. I traded in my GTA IV on the 360 for the PS3 version as my 360 was heading towards death once more. My 360 has been sent off around 6 or 7 times now - it's ridiculous. I mean who here hasn't had the red ring of death? Software wise the 360 is brilliant but the hardware sucks. I also disagree when you say the 360 is aimed at all ages, I'd say it was infinitively for the older gamers with most of the better games being targeted at that age range.

I haven't had the red ring of death. Hey guess what little kids enjoy Viva Pinata no shit really.

And there a few games youve missed - the original Fable can be played on it, its getting Fable 2, Halo Wars is gonna be p. rad, Ninja Gaiden II is kickass. Just because the best games (or most of) on 360 are shooters, doesnt mean there arent any other good games. Really the good other genre games are getting shoved behind by the likes of Halo 3, CoD4, Gears of War etc.

I just don't like the Wii. I know it's not terrible but I don't like the "dash board" most of the games don't interest me (No More Heroes and Metroid 3 being some of the only games I've played to the end) and I still don't see what was wrong with a normal controller. Nothing on the Wii so far couldn't have just been done on a normal controller in my opinion. Oh but yeah, Mario Kart and Brawl are worth buying the console.

Brawl isn't all its cracked up to be. But I agree with most of what youre saying here.

The PS3 has incredible hardware and mine has never ever broke, crashed or needed to be sent back once. It's a shame that it suffers from a lack of games (though still has some great ones) and often suffers from broken ports (aka ones made by EA). I hope Ninja Gaiden 2 comes to the PS3 and I hope a new Monster Hunter comes to the PS3 as they were part of the reason I put the money down for one. With the PS3 I guess you either have to believe in the promises Sony made or see it as a great console lacking in games.

You're dreaming sorry.

I'd say that PS3 isn't going to win game wise. Sure the PS3 has good hardware and graphics, but the thing is there isn't any games on there, which is causing great massive damage to the PS3.

This is correct

Wii has some good exclusives and games that takes on good motion sensitivity, but the thing is that you can't get any other sort of media other then games and the lack of memory on the system itself is damn crap, sure you can back up data and channels to an SD card, but you can't back up certain games on there like Brawl, which only makes it worse if your trying to add more channels.

So wait which console do you prefer

360 is good, it has a lot of excelent games, not only that but has good media, but most of it's hardware isn't that great, and microsoft is just copying other companies ideas (Like the camera for Live, which was copied off Sony and there new avatar system was copied off of Mii from Nintendo). Next thing is the many flaws of the 360, such as the Red ring of death making it more uninjoyable, where you have to send it in to microsoft and wait about a week or so to get it fixed. And laslty I want to mention that why should we have to pay extra money for online play? that just doesn't seem nessescary to me.

As the stealing thing, guess what. Microsoft owns those little "mii"s for MSN, so therefore they had them before Nintendo, and Webcams is just a ported thing from Windows.
Honestly they just keep getting new features from their original franchise, Windows.

The 360 is great, though Microsoft is starting to show their greedy side more now. The monthly subscription cost for Live is annoying and I'd probably never buy one because of that.

50 bucks for a year comes with headset what are you poor living on the street.

It only costs that much if you devote yourself to an entire year at a time. Besides, I value my money, because I work for it. It's a balance, and the price isn't worth what minimal extra fun it could provide (especially since I don't care for most of 360's game library).

I can earn that much in a week honestly its not that much.


But really itt opinions, you are entitled to yours i'm entitled to mine.
