They're batfuck-insane if they think they're going to sell many at that price. For me, people talking about the ps3 is about as relevant as someone bringing up the Veyron when I mention I'm looking to change my car. |

By playing their hand first, the 360: a) sold the most units last christmas due to being the only one available b) will sell the most again this christmas due to being older and thus being able to lower the price Do you HAVE to use motion sensing stuff in the wii and ps3- Or can you just use a normal controller if you want. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
wii also has a standard controller that looks like a cross between a snes and gamecube pad. not sure about the ps3. guess itll depend on the developer. |

Yes, the Wii's "classic" controller is a great deal cheaper too; £15 compared to the £45 for a movement detecting controller (plus "Nunchuk") I've not had a go on one yet, but a mate of a mate has had one for months (Nintendo employee) and loves it. Apparently it really is good for playing with non-gamers and when you're half cut after a night out. |

not interested. wii on the other hand. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
most games that are designed specifically for the Wii are designed to be used with the remote, though - making use of the remote and/or nunchuk mandatory. then again - why buy a Wii if you don't want to make use of the remote/nunchuk thing? the graphics aren't that much better than on the Gamecube and as far as I know Nintendo games have never really been about 'great graphics' anyway. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
actually, they were pretty focused on graphics for a while, but i think their whole focus shifted somewhere around the n64 to gamecube era. |

If I was in control of xbox 360 sales, I'd seriously consider lowering the price to like 99.99 for christmas only. That move would completely take over the market and they'd probably more than make up for it as industry leader, either through selling the vast majority of games or being in control for future consoles (reverse compatibility with 360 that everyone would now already have). Christmas is when they all get sold. |

im looking forward to the next game from the ico/shadow of the colossus people. perhaps a gta. other than that... |

Got my Wii on release day. You actually don't need the Classic Controller - GC Controllers work as well as a substitute. So far, Zelda and WiiSports are both amazing. Trauma Center is excellent, and Red Steel is solid once you get a bit into it. Worth every penny. We had 30,000 of the 400,000 PS3s coming stateside recalled. And Sony sent a message to retailers saying that the systems "will likely be defective." |
||||||||
|

Yes, they are focusing more on gameplay. I haven't had this much fun playing games in a long time. |
||||||||

we had drive-by's on people waiting in line for a week straight to get ps3's.. nutty. |
||||||||

I've bought seventeen PS3's off ebay; they are just too excellent to pass up |

360's were the same price last christmas. Parents of fat kids buy them. I'm gonna get an xbox 360 soon though I think. Out of all the reviews I saw on youtube for all the new systems 360's were the best (and I'm very interested in the live arcade or whatever where you can download more old school games for a cheaper price. see youtube 'geometry wars' review. looks cool) |

I'm going to go play super ghouls and ghosts now. I stopped following consoles back when the playstation 1 came out, so I really don't know. its graphics are really sufficient for me. |

the ps3 launch price isn't that outrageous considering the prices of previous console launches. also, it is a blu-ray player as well which is a brand new technology. i think ps3 will reign supreme as ps and ps2 did because of all the good support they get from companies and the capabilities of the machines they release. nintendo is good and all but i feel they have been rehashing the same old mario, zelda, metroid, etc franchises for too long even if there are good games in there. nintendo themselves seem to release the best games for their systems and lose a lot of 3rd party support. at least playstation gets new franchises from time to time from their better publishers. also, the wii looks interesting and all but the lack of much graphical upgrade seems weak if you are releasing a new console. i'm sure they could of added motion sensor capabilities to the gamecube. that said i still want to play the wii because i'm on the fences now as to what i think of how it will play it. xbox and microsoft can go suck a fatty. too many stanky FPS for my taste. |

I think Microsoft is going to take this gen. Obviously they've gained ground, and I don't think Sony will catch up. Halo 3 hasn't even hit yet. Gears of War is killer, Lost Planet, Mass Effect, all the important PC games (Bioshock), whether or not you like these games, these are heavy hitters. Plus losing timed GTA exclusivity takes away another of Sony's trump cards. I'd rather Sony take it, but I don't see it happening. They're making mistakes. Most recently, the absolutely ridiculous revelation that the PS3 doesn't have a hardware scaler. If they can't fix this with a firmware update, then... uh, damn them. I do think Sony will beat out Nintendo in the end, even with this sluggish start. Aside from the control input, I don't see anything being done on the Wii that you couldn't do on the 360 or PS3. And this means that the Wii is going to get some shitty third party support. All the good stuff is going to make it onto the other consoles (GTA, games like Oblivion and Assasin's Creed and Alan Wake and Bioshock and whatever), and the Wii will get crap like Red Steel. PS3 and 360 get Resident Evil 5, which will surely blow minds, and Wii is getting an afterthought side-story RE. That is not good. PS3 is stumbling out of the gates, but it will eventually have a shitload of great exclusives, first and third party. Metal Gear, Final Fantasy, Famito Euda's new game, Devil May Cry, etc. PS2 had a slow start too. I'm still psyched to get the Wii, because I love Nintendo's first party games, but that can only take them so far. They'll still make the biggest profit of course, so it's no sweat off their sacks. |

Fumito Ueda all the way. I really cannot wait for this. The improvement from ICO to Shadow was massive, and with a whole new console plus time and awesome creativity, theres no way him and his crazy crew won't do well : ) |

I had Ikagura on the Dreamcast. Fantastic game. |

XBOX360 is the key... even if blu-ray takes over.. you can get an external MS BR drive... plus GOW and DR look sick as hell... |

consoles are for wusses. hardcore gamers use PCs. |

ms is doing hd-dvd, not blu ray |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
err yeh... MS is doing HD-DVD.. and Sony is doing blu-ray... soooo... even if blu-ray becomes the major winner in the HD wars.. you can get an external blu-ray drive for your xbox360 (where-as your ps3 is a $600 paper weight worth camping on concrete and getting shot over). |
||||||||
|
|

Honestly, I think the PS3 will be what I'm craving. I mean, last gen I got an X-box because it was more powerful, so I don't have any kind of brand loyalty. But with a drastically increased storage medium, free online gaming, plenty of games comin, and more power under the hood, Im leaning towards a PS3 They do cost $1000 here in Australia though, so I might have to wait a while... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
eh, wasn't it so that the 360s internal drive was a dvd driver or something and then the external one you can buy is a hd-dvd drive? I bet they'll make it so that you can't play blu ray on it just to try to keep it from becoming popular. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeh they have no plans to support blu-ray (that'd just be like saying sony has a superior product), so theyll hold down the blu-ray.. but if sony pushes hard on blu-ray.. microsoft will just make an external drive.. and still take the money. The war is on HD-DVD vs Blu-ray.. not like we havent seen this before.. beta/vhs .. dvd/laserdisc .. |

You'll barely ever have to use the PS3 motion-control. In fact, you can outright disable it in games like Tony Hawk and Warhawk. Good news for Silent Hill fans, SH5 was officially announced. SH4 relatively sucked but hopefully the Resident Evil renaissance will push Konami to try hard on this one. |
