I agree that the Wii is not a contender, with its cheap price it will not be somebodys only next gen console.

alot of single people will wait. alot of the guys in the 20's 30's. its the parents who promised and spoiled their kids who will pay anything just to get their kid to shut up rather than teach their kid to be patient.
They removed it for this reason: Try using the Tilt feature and the vibration in GTA4 when it comes out. You'll be running around, getting shot at, and with the guy freaking out on the screen from the bullets hitting along with the vibration from the effect in the game, your character will look like it's having a really bad seizure... granted it would be funny as hell to watch, but with this happening you would have almost no control over what is happening in the game...Originally Posted by 2.2L
I agree. I dont wanna work when I play games.
EXACTLY and that's why I'm waiting till first or second week in Decaember to sell my Two Wii's. Look on ebay, even now the highest Wii sold for $804+ and the PS3 $1900+. These items have ended by the way so you won't see them and no I'm not exagerating. Look on ebay now for the Wii and Ps3 and tell me what prices you see them going for. What do you think it will be like the first or second week in December when there's NO MORE to be found????? Oh the supply and demand game...how I love it!!

ps3 will win xmas 2007 and will own 2008
I disagree. The lower price tag, better availability, and fun factor will more than likely propel the Nintendo Wii to the top this year. If I had a choice, it would be a Wii, hands down.
Nintendo WII is still hard to find this month go look around how are ppl gonna buy itI disagree. The lower price tag, better availability, and fun factor will more than likely propel the Nintendo Wii to the top this year. If I had a choice, it would be a Wii, hands down.
Circuit City got in more units today and they sold out. Nintendo also has practically 4x more Wii's on the way then Sony has PS3's, expected before Christmas. The lack of availability will hurt Wii, sure. Yet the even greater lack of availability of the PS3 in addition to the horrendous price tag will have parents looking for a cheaper alternative.
MICROSOFT will win in the long run
any company that comes out and says hey we are ok w/ losing a billion dollars a year w/ xbox and laughs it off... they have way too much money. PS3 will own only in Japan + other regions not tapped by other game consoles... North America is slowing leaving Sony for other consoles... this season will definately show that.
hrm.. sony's losing more money than microsoft and shrugging it off.MICROSOFT will win in the long run

sony has a 16 billion dollar cash reserve.... that i believe was the figure after its battery mishaps etc.
the point wasn't who loses the most... shit they are losing 200+ on every system... but xbox has been in the shit since day 1... but w/ more $$$ then GOD you can do anything
thats true.
just from a retail point of view
the ps2 was released before the first xbox.
the ps2 is still in demand these days.. xbox isnt.
While the xbox and 360 are penetrating the market, its not near taking anything over. Perhaps in the next generation after this or the one after.
What will hurt the 360 is that the ps3 is alot more technologically advanced than the 360 by far. by end of next year the 360 will be at its maximum development, and in 2 years the ps3 probably wont be at half its potential.
the cell processor is a bitch to program from what i hear, but also sony/ibm havnt released a full development kit for it. Luckily it can be programmed as a single processor, or 2 or 3 or 6 *max* so in time you'll see everything improving ALOT.
i would hardly they they're "shrugging it off". sony as a whole, not just in the gaming arena, have been taking some heavy losses due to lagging r&d and other problems. more and more ppl are no longer referring to them as an industry giant and if you did a little research, you'd see that pretty clearly.
360, by far i'd say..... i want a wii, but as most i've already got a 360.... besides.. this will be the 360 second christmas.. it's available everywhere and at a decent price it's already hacking away at ps3 sales...
i watched a some show earlier this week and microsoft said there sales have sky rocketed since the release of the ps3... why?? cause everyone is now wanting a 3rd gen, and the 360 is basically the only one u can find anywhere....
oh, and online play is far more advanced with the 360 than with the ps3 or the wii....
gow, halo 2.. soon to be halo 3 and halo wars.....
PS3 and Wii haven't had the time to develop their online play yet. Give them a chance.
Also, Halo 2 sucked @ss compared to the first game. Halo 3 better get it's sh*t together.
you are mistaken, PS3 does have more power in very small marginal sectors considering they had and entire 1 more year of R&D plus they have been in this game alot longer.... see the stats below these were relased back in SPRING of 05... at the time PS3 didn't even have a shit together Xbox was the only proven box ready to launch... This puts Xbox at a distinct advantage b/c they are now set a full year ahead meaning they could do the same w/ the next launch. The hardware capabilities of both machines aren't even touched yet, and Microsoft has made it really easy for just about anyone to work w/ them.
399 > 599 any day... xbox has brought a console to the table quicker and cheaper then the LARGEST name in the industry.... everything else is HYPE and sony loyal fanboys.
I have had every system that has ever came out. But we all have to agree there are different aspects that we like about all of them. I still have most of my systems, but I like my ps3 better than all of them, The games just need to come out quicker. Ps3 will get to the top as more and more products become availible for it.
Resize sig area!
you would be crazy to think it wouldn't be at the top eventually... they are the leader in console market PS2 still out sells all makes; other makes don't even touch some of the same markets... but here i think they will take a beating due to price point, lack of availability and a year down in launch. From what i read many software makers are recommending Sony to drop the price in 07' to stay above Microsoft.
i didn't say they wouldn't be on top, I have a ps3 and I like it, when more games come out it will be on top. But so far I like everything about the ps3.
Resize sig area!
shit i really don't care who's "on top" as far as their #s go. i used to be rep the ps2 hard and didn't give 2 shits about the xbox but it's a diff generation now. i just got the xbox360 and i'll get a ps3 as well if they drop the price AND make it more reliable, plain and simple
for one, why the fuck would u want 7 controllers on one game system, if u have that many friends that can play all at once u are a loser. and how can u see seven people at once on a tv? thats just dumb.... and even with the blu ray disc the ps3 and 360 still look the same, i mean damn, u cant really get better than they are now, the next thing in line will be real life... jesus, the ps3 is a fuckin joke and a waste of time, and seeing how the american vp of sony switched positions the playstation is done, this will be the last one...
thats like 2 years from now by then they will be announcing a new xbox or nintendo or sony system
dell had the battery mishaps
Well for what you get from the ps3 theres alot out of it. Than Xbox u have to buy all these add on's to get full potential of the game let me know what you think heres a list.
I want to get a XBox 360 and possibly a PS3 down the road and compare the 2. I like the Wii because it is so interactive and you are not just sitting on the couch the whole time.

i think thats pretty cool u can use ur cell phone blue tooth for ps3, but still, i prolly wont be getting one... maybe when they drop in price, but i spend enough time on my 360, i dont wanna be in my room too much, and if i get a ps3 i know i will, but they have almost all the same games, so im stickin with the 360, i love it.
360 duh.
:boobies:
Shooting mutha fuckahs in the face and gettin paid.
only things that qualify as add ons are the hd and the hd-dvd player. and if u buy the premium and hd-dvd player that's still only $600 which is comparable to the ps3. not to mention u can actually go out and buy an xbox 360 right off the shelf as opposed to paying $800+ for a ps3.Well for what you get from the ps3 theres alot out of it. Than Xbox u have to buy all these add on's to get full potential of the game let me know what you think heres a list.
One why would you need HD player to play games? They aren't making games for that anyway; bluray/hd are both for movies... your not gaining jack shit from a gamers standpoint... what are they going to add killer cintematics for the people who like to watch rather then play?Well for what you get from the ps3 theres alot out of it.

2nd specs 60gb>20gb... xbox came out a year ago you can't even begin to compare the two considering there is a full year+ of R&D in the PS3... beyond that you have way more technology options for xbox then PS3; ever heard of media center or vista... i have my xbox connected to a 300+gb media tower at the added cost 0$ b/c most people already have computers.

yeah, and guess who manufacture those batteries?yep, it was sony

my mom called me yesterday at work and asked if me or my brother wanted a ps3.. I was like not really I'd rather have a Wii and my brother would rather have a 360.. but told her we'd take it no doubt.. but then i got to thinkin and I called her back and told NOT to get it bc alot have been tearing up and just to get my brother a 360 since I have one already.. she said ok Im takingn it back now.. she just so happend to be at walmart at the right time yesterday and she knew it was a hot item for christmas this year so she just bought it then asked if we wanted it lol
shoulda flipped it...
did not know thatyeah, and guess who manufacture those batteries?
Well, I played the PS3 today.
This thing blows the 360 and especially the Wii out of the water. It has endless options and features, and the controller is the best I have seen.
I already new it was more powerful, but after playing it its by far the better value.
no shit?One why would you need HD player to play games? They aren't making games for that anyway; bluray/hd are both for movies... your not gaining jack shit from a gamers standpoint... what are they going to add killer cintematics for the people who like to watch rather then play?

so you can play your music/movies/porn/etc.. from your computer to your xbox?

These discs can hold more which means bigger games, way bigger. Also, you can do all this with the PS3 also.One why would you need HD player to play games?
