Best Next-generation Console
Reply

What does everyone think the best next-gen console is?

The Revolution, XBox 360, PS3

I personally prefer Xbox over the revolution and PS3

The Revolution just sucks....

PS3 is too expensive.... way the fuck too expensive.....

What does every1 think???

It's the Nintendo Wii, btw. Revolution was it's project codename until about E3 '06, I think.

If you're going to say the Wii sucks, and the PS3 is too expensive, then back it up. Why does the Wii suck? Why is thew PS3 too expensive? Just the fact that you get everything in one console at one price rather than mini bits you buy and jack the price up, or what?

So come on, if you want an argument but some oomph into your opening statement.

well, for one, nintendo Wii, I don't like the controller setup, the PS3 does include everything, unlike the Xbox 360, but most of the games are already released on the 360!

PS3 Launch titles:

Genji: Days of the Blade
NBA 07
Resistance: Fall of Man
Blazing Angels: Squadrons of WWII
Call of Duty 3
EA Sports Fight Night Round 3
The Elder Scrolls IV Oblivion
F.E.A.R.
Full Auto 2 Battlelines
Madden NFL 07
Marvel Ultimate Alliance
Mobile Suit Gundam: Crossfire
NBA 2K7
NHL 2K7
Untold Legends Dark Kingdom
Ridge Racer 7
Tiger Woods PGA Tour 07
Sonic the Hedgehog
Need for Speed Carbon
Tony Hawk's Project 8
Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Vegas

21 games. 14 the 360 has, or is getting at the same time as the PS3. 7 that are exclusives.

The PS3 then has a little stack of exclusive games, somewhere in the region of 60, including gems such as MGS4, Lair, GT HD, Warhawk, and not forgetting the 3 FFXIII games from Squenix.

So, no, most of the games aren't already released on the 360. Perhaps 8 or 9 are, with a handful more coming out at the same time. We then see, over the couple of years after the PS3 launch, more and more titles coming out that are exclusive to the PS3.

I like the idea of the Wii controller, but think that this might soon blow it out of the water: http://uk.gear.ign.com/articles/740/740679p1.html

Of course the Xbox 360 is the best even if you have to buy 4 of them to get a working one.

Dont be a baby about the wii controller set up just because its something different. Yeah it might take some getting use to but it has the potential to be extremely fun. A very weak reason behind disliking the Wii. It looks like a very good buy for the amount of money you have to spend. Playstation 3 IS expensive but if you actually knew what kind of hardware they put into that bad boy you would see the reasoning behind that price.

I use to be a sony lover, had a ps1 since I can't remember (doubt it was at launch tho) and ps2 since it launched. Now I own 360 and love it. Like I said I sold my pos ps3 cause it sucks... the 360 has WAY more features than ps3.
The Wii is friggen AMAZING I want one so bad. Everyone that I've talked to gives it shit (the controller sucks)... The people that say this are lazy I think. Moving around and shit with the Wii will help the kids that are going to start console gaming so that they don't turn out to be fattys like 90% of zel =\

The 360 only has "WAY more features" than the PS3 because the 360s been out for over a year.

Go back to the 360 launch, and you wouldn't have seen half of the features it has now, then.

Give it a year or so, and Sony will have released a few hundred firmware updates and fixed all the problems with the software, as well as added in all the features people take for granted with the 360.

I'm leaning towards the PS3 atm, but only because of it's capabilities to at least play blu ray disks.

I'm probably not going to get either, as I've moved on to pc gaming.

Yeah with people making emulator's for every damn console out there, the pc rules over all, but purely discussing gaming consoles microsoft has done a decent job with the 360. There are some tweaks here and there that need to be applied to the 360, but overall it's not a bad console.

Umm, PC's cant handle emulating an Xbox360 or PS3 at all. To emulate, you need 3-4x the power of what you are emulating. This is especially since the games are programmed for the hardware of the console, when you emulate, it is software based, and in order to run the software that emulates the game engine, it takes a lot more power.

Consoles own.

X360 for the sole fact that it will have Halo3.

Fanboy.

To the guy saying ps3 is too expensive:

Sure PS3 is extremely expensive, but then it always was a system based for adults, not ment for kids to buy it IMO. They have always been easy to break if you drop them or whatever, where the xbox and wii are pretty darn sturdy.

But think about this... Sony is losing money for selling for that price... Hopefully that tells you something about how powerful it will be. If not then you are a fanboy tard.

It all depends on pref, and life style... ill explain

Depends on what type of games you like, generally the Xbox has games I like more than the PS3, now the Wii will always have my fun loving games.

Life style, well I have my PC and not much time to sit down on a console anyways so the only reason I'd want one is to take over to a friends house and have some drunken fun, and usually with girls not being very gaming... the Wii will provide those easy fun games like Mario Party, Strikers, SSB etc

so i'd go with Wii, then 360, then PS3. this has nothing to do with price, or how badass the system it is.

I would love to get a Wii and a PS3. But I have to wait until I have enough money and until any and all known bugs/glitches are fixed.
