Ps3- Nintendo Rev- Xbox360

[BCLR]

I am going to attempt to buy all three, but my top priority is the 360.

[suicidalmuskrat]

I don't like first person shooters, so I have no reason to buy a 360. I don't have 400 dollars, so I won't buy a ps3 for a few years (i'll probably just buy a PS2, and there'll be enough quality games to keep my interest until the ps3 price lowers to what the revolution will launch for, 200)...I'll buy a revolution at launch. PS3 eventually. But I'm not going to vote because none of them are 'best'...and we still know very little about them, and even less about the games.

[magister_negi_magi]

I'd rather go with a system that delivers fun games, rather than a graphical monster that puts out incredible graphics, with almost no fun factor. There are obviously exceptions to this, but the Revolution gets my vote. They just better make a damn Kirby game for it. One that's not totally worthless.

[ndthatsme]

i voted 4 revolution cause from what i've seen it by far seems to be a "better" console plus disagree with me or not i realy don't care but i think nintendo is packing something realy big 4 revolution and not releasing it so sony wont copy them, or try to anyway

[Lightknight924]

Nintendo Revolution is my top priority.

[Killrodx]

For myself, it will have to be the Playstation three. Well, as soon as the price drops a bit. I own currently from the first playstation to number two. Best to keep it continuing.

[supamario198]

the PS3 look ugly as hell and for 400- 500 dollars? no way, so im with the revolution, its the most promising.

[vashthestampede0987]

Wow supermario, you totally just missed the point of videogame systems. Although I admit the PS3 looks pretty ugly it has a very promising future. The only big point that sony missed with PS2 was the graphics department. Seeing videos from E3 and it's graphical capabilities I'm pretty sure that PS3 has the most potential outta the 3 because Sony normally delivered on the gameplay aspect. The revolution is in a close second for me (I'm probably getting it though because I'm a Nintendo fanboy) because I was never disappointed by their gameplay, and they always came out with new, original, inovative ways to present their systems like controller designs, sizes and shapes of the actual console, and now they are going from the mini disc to a full size disc. Graphics weren't always the best on that game, but they are really good nonetheless and worth the price. I won't even go into XBox because I'm sure there are enough Xbox fanboys in the world to tell you about it. Oh and the prices won't be $400-$500(With the exception of the 360) but more likely around the Very high $300 area to the mid $400 area.

Edit: Holy shit people, Halo #(Whichever one you wanna talk about) ISN'T THE SECOND FUCKING COMING OF JESUS. I rate it as a very good FPS, BUT THAT'S IT. I'M SICK OF THE BULL SHIT I HEAR FROM PEOPLE GOING, OMG HALO 2 IS TEH ROXZ0RZ. YOU CAN'T COMPARE HALO TO SOMETHING LIKE FINAL FANTASY. My god, I would continue to rant but I'd rather play maplestory.

THIS IS GONNA SOUND LIKE AN ADVERTISEMENT

The specs on a Ps3 Blow XBOX360 to bits, and Leaves None-tendo to rot.
IF you look at the main picture, you want a system that has experience with ALL aspects of the gaming world (bye bye Microsoft)
and, you want a good game selection as well (bye bye none-tendo)
Sony, for years past, and years to come, has sprung hundreds of great games from the turf of their crazy heads, and entertained millions of people, even on something as pathetic as playstation 1!

Just Recently, they made a PS2 handheld. Damn near same graphics, and they are brewing up a brainstorm as is for some killer games as is!

Now, what has the revolution got? So far, a bunch of remakes and sequels. Nothing more. What has XBOX got?
...
......Halo 3 and Mechassault?
....okayyyy What about PS3?
THE LOST GOES ON AND ON GAMEWISE
Not only that, the memory in a Ps3 is integrated now. NOT memory carded. Ps3 has got wayyyy more memory than it needs. ON TOP OF THAT, The ps3 also has oustanding game detail. Has anyone else seen the trailer for PS3's Tom Clancy? Good game w/ good graphics. If you watch it, a guy gets knocked off of a bridge. As he's falling, he snares a treebranch, and it tears his vest. YOU CAN SEE THE THREADS IN THE TORN CLOTHING! ITS INSANE!!! Oh! Not to mention that the Ps3 has got WELL MADE WIRELESS CONTROLS, and you can DISCONNECT THE HARD DRIVE OF YOUR PS3 AND CONNECT IT WITH OTHER ONES!

I am getting too riled up about the Ps3. But Ps3 rulio trulio dominat3s

[magister_negi_magi]

You know, being a fanboy isn't good for your health. After realizing what could possibly happen during this second console war, I decided to become neutral. Instead of completely bashing the other competitors for Sony, you should try and think about it: Sure, you can see the threads in his clothing, but would you even care if you got the game, played it for a while, and then thought..."This game blows some major ass." I seriously doubt that it's going to be awful, or even bad; Most TC games I've played were pretty fun from my point of view. But what I'm saying is that graphics mean nothing if the game is awful. You don't want that. The Xbox 360 may not have as powerful capabilities, but you know what most people who own an Xbox are going to do once Halo 3 comes out? They're going to treat it as though Jesus himself touched the case. And what about the Revolution? You underestimate just how big the backwards compatability feature is. I know quite a few people who used to be avid gamers, but quit once all these "new systems" came out, and gave their systems to me. I'm sure, along with countless others, that these people would like to get back into their gaming roots and play Donkey Kong, for old times sake. Now I'm sure that everyone knows that the PS3 is far superior to its competitors, graphic-wise. But I have no immediate reason to shell out a possible 400+ dollars when there are no games I want right now. If they came out with maybe another Tekken, or another Final Fantasy, I'd probably rush out and buy it. The Xbox 360 doesn't have any games that seem appealing to me either, however. But the Revolution will have the new Super Smash Brothers Melee game out upon release of the system, and no matter how much of a fanboy ANYONE is, I doubt they can say they hate this series, unless they've never even played it and automatically assume that everything put out by Nintendo is worthless. For you out there who wonder about available-upon-release games, there's not much to tell, because not much has been released...however, all three systems have a large list of developers currently working on games for them. From the looks of things, the PS3 is far in the lead(as I suspected) with the Xbox 360 trailing...and the Revolution? Well...it's not doing so hot in terms of fanboy popularity, seeing as virtually nothing aside from console design and capabilites have been released to the publc. But in this thread, there's a popularity quiz for the new Next-Gens, and for some reason, the Revolution is faaar ahead. I haven't the slightest idea why. I wonder how things will change once all three systems have been released.


Also, I'm not buying any of these until I see which one suits me best; I have no preference at all.

The XBOX 360 is pretty much the joke of industry. Anybody that buys it is extremely uneducated about games or just a chronically retarded mainstreamer.

Wow. You just made me chuckle. I commend you.

The XBox 360 is the only system in the mix at the moment that knows what it's doing. Quite literally, too.

Just look at Nintendo Revolution. Currently, Nintendo has released some specs, thrown out a potential prototype (that looks like a black box, but anyway), and after that, it's sat down and watched the big boys play because they don't know how to appeal to the youth market while making a profit. Nintendo's going down the drain. I loved it back when it dominated the market, back when it had reason to.

Seriously, what games has Nintendo released lately that -haven't- been a complete disappointment? Sometime after the release of the Gamecube, the Nintendo guys went senile. They've released next to no good titles for the Gamecube, then released a handheld console that requires three hands to use properly and makes all of us non-mutants feel left out. Besides, it has no game library. I don't want to play dating sims thanks. But moving on to Sony.

I hate Sony. They're the corporate devil. Everything Sony I've ever had has broken down for no reason at all, because everything they release is something that looks like it's worth something but really is pure and utter crap. Their consoles are no different. All my friends who have had PS and PS2 have had their consoles break down to the point that they've had to be replaced within two years.

Besides that, PS2's games are good - only because they buy all the popular licenses. Just try to find an anime game for XBox and you will fail because they don't want to pay for the right to play games. GC might have a couple, but they suck thanks to Nintendo's lack of competence.

Now, what has Sony done with PS3? Little more than Nintendo. They've made a final prototype and, the part that annoys me to no end, they've released specs. All of them are better than XBox 360's - in fact, PS3 is twice as powerful. Since they've hired people to analyze the intelligence of the average gamer, they know that's enough to get a load of supporters. People don't seem to realize that if a system is fast, it doesn't mean that it's the best hands down. However, here's where the proof that Sony still sucks as much as ever: despite the fact that it has double the power, it has less memory than the 360. How does that make sense? It doesn't. It means the thing's going to crash like a driver that's had twenty too many, while at the same time raising the estimated cost to $600. Idiots.

What does 360 have going for it? Realistic specs - enough to make great games while keeping cost down and a system that doesn't crash. Online play remains the same for easy transition between the XBox systems. There are too many cool features to count, but they include wireless controllers as a standard that keep all of their pros and ditch the cons of worrying about battery life, and feature losses (like rumble), a "XBox Now" (something like that) menu that lets you access everything easily", among other things like USB controller ports. The game library upon release is absolutely great. Oblivion, the newest Elder Scrolls game after the superb Morrowind, Perfect Dark Zero, Project Gotham Racing 3, Halo 3 in the works, etc., etc.

Quite the contrary to what Moogy said, anyone who doesn't buy it is extremely uneducated about games or just a dunce that buys what has the best specs or has blind loyalty to a company that has lost its luster.

Guys, guys, guys, enough with the fan boy comments, it gets fucking old. Oh ho ho, choco, you're so fucking hilarious with your "none-tendo" joke, it was pure genious. I admit Sony has been making great games for the past few decades. They are the most promising from what we've heard. As far as the revolution goes, it is backwards compatible with the GC. Now does that fall under the category of remake or sequal? That's what I thought, and if you are classifying the fact that you can download the HUGE library of games coming from decades upon decades pure gameplay as remakes then you're just a fucking dumbass. Although, you do seem to be correct about the Xbox360 just being a fanboy console. Ahh and yes the trailers for games, have you noticed that trailers have a lot better resolutions than actual gameplay? And again, do you know for fact that it has good gamplay? Jesus, you are waaay too PS3 fanboy in your post. Tokzic, you are the kind of Microsoft fanboy I was refferring to. Moogy was absolutly right about that, and I never agree with moogy. Please, inform us on how the 360 is the only console with a mix-Wait, what the fuck did that sentence mean. It sounded like fanboy jibberished backed up with JACKSHIT. Nintendo hasn't released like, "OMG WE'VE GOT 3409290487239 PROCESSORS SO YOU CAN PLAY A GAME AS BIG AS ALL THE FF GAMES PUT TOGETHER TIMES 12" to appeal to you people who are basing it just by their specs. It has given a basic idea of what it looks like, what some of the capabilities are, and some of the games coming out for it. Also, your sentence that says:

it's sat down and watched the big boys play because they don't know how to appeal to the youth market while making a profit.

doesn't make sense. I admit, Nintendo's quality in games has gone down, alot. There are some really good games out there for the GC though such as Killer7, Zelda Series(Wind Waker, master quest, and the twilight princess), Metroid Prime 1&2, SSBM, ect. Nintendo appeals more to a party console than a solo rain day console. On to your bashing of Sony. Obviously, you don't take care of your things then. I have a sony TV that has been in my family for 23 years and it still works just fine. Pure and utter crap? What kind of thing have they released that was "pure and utter crap"? Your friend must not take good care of his items either. I have a Playstation(the big rectangular one) and I have had it since it came out, and to this day it still works like it is brand new. Ok, now honestly, I don't feel like bitching at you guys any more because I'm sick of writing this up. If you wanna fanboy at me then go on and fucking fanboy till you're satistfied but know that you probably will not change my mind. I am just as negi, I am neutral.

[blargherness]

Ah, this brings back memories of school. me and my friend were arguing.
him: The revolution is gonna suck. Xbox will rule.
Me: where is you're proof of that?
him: because Xbox kicked Gamecubes ass.
Me: and even if this is true, (I'm a fanboy so didn't want to accept that Xbox kicked gamecubes ass) what does that have to do with revolution and Xbox 360?
him: xbox kicked gamecubes ass! idiot.
Me: OK then....without referring to Xbox and gamecube, which do you think will win the fight of xbox 360 and revolution?
him: well let's see, Gamecube didn't have a lot of power...
Me: oh my god...

Thats a very close copy of the conversation. then my other dumbass friend comes up to me and says "Steve, you are an idiot. I've read in many game reviews in magazines and on tv shows that the revolution reeks."
Me: "What kind of magazines could have reviews of a console that won't come out for over a year? (which just reminded me now, back then we had almost NOTHING to decide which would be better. such a stupid argument.)
him: uh TONS. prototypes? stuff like that? ever heard of them?
Me: I'm so sure you've gotten your info from a reliable source.

So we went on with that...stupid....idiotic argument. neither of them would shut up. I told them to wait for the consoles, apparently they have no patience.
OK THEN! Back to the point of this post. I think PS3 will be pretty darn good, but too pricey for me. (yes that is all I have to say.) Xbox360 will be good as well, And as it is coming out much earlier, will be more of a hit. but I have my doubts about it. Revolution will probably be lacking in the graphics and power department, compared to PS3, but will have new games like always and new accessories. Also the point of the reverse compatability and downloadable games. I am very happy about this. it also reminds me that nintendo has been a running video games business for quite a long while. A lot of experience. PS3 and Xbox are powering up, but Revolution is improving all around. (I need to act like less of a fan boy......)
Well since I think I'm acting too much like a fanboy, I will say this. I have too little knowledge about ANY SINGLE ONE of these consoles to make a final decision. So I think I will just have to wait. Sorry for the non-future-console-educated post.

[-Fallen-]

PS3 and Nintendo Revolution is what I will probably buy.
