PS3 vs Xbox 360 Vs Wii!

[Kane Hart]

Ok lets go at it. There will be no pull this will be just plain old argument on whats better ;)

I pick Xbox 360 for few reason. So far they beat down all hackers and even last patch bricked a lot of there machines :P owned lol. Also was into ps3 more and more till they started to reduce some of the promised features then they made worse when almost all the games coming out were already out or coming to 360!

I will still buy a ps3 later on I'm interested in using it for programming and running servers that require very high CPU usage and low memory.

Wii is it even HD? lol

wth.. no pull you say? you didnt even say anything about the wii...

wii = LoZ, SSBB, RS i say best games ive ever seen

[NoPeace]

Wii can't be compared to the x360 or PS3. It's not a raw power whore like the other two are but relies on old out dated hardware that's easy to program with and utilizes user interaction for games and not a controller.

So it's in a whole new class of gamming.

Out of the PS3 and x360. In terms of power they are equal. x360 has more grapics power while the PS3 has vastly more CPU power. What does this mean? Their strenghs get off set and they are in the end equal in performance.

So then it's down to content, price, avaliability and special features.

Content the x360 wins out right. More then 90% of the upcomming PS3 games are also on the x360 where as the x360 has tons of killer x360 only games where as the PS3 will only have a handful over the next year, Resistance Fall of Man, Devil May Cry 4, Final Fantasy 13 and maybe MGS4 but that is predicted for end of 2007/beginning of 2008. Where as you got Dead Rising, Dead of Alive series, Halo series, Gears of War, Project Gotham Racing and many more x360 only games and series.

In terms of price we all know the x360 is the cheapest at base. Only being $300 and soon to have a price drop. Even the premium with the HD hookups and 20gb HDD is $400. Sure it doesn't have HDDVD play back but you can buy the add on if you wish to have it. Thus causing it to be much affordable. With the PS3 at $500 for the cheapest unit it's just not reachable for the average person especially when most of it's games is already on a cheaper system with the same quality. Also the $600 one is just stupid in terms of price. You spend $100 more for a wi-fi card and a larger HDD. So what? You can get the same on the x360 for much less (MS is planning to release a 120gb HDD for $99). So when it's down to it. The PS3 is just a cheaper BluRay player (since they are $999) that can play games.

Now with the avalibility. The PS3 wont be around for anyone to really own. By the end of the year there wont even have many systems around. Where as the x360 is easy to get and the Wii is also expected to have over 4million units in the US alone by the end of the year. Sony will be lucky to have 1m units world wide at the time. So that will futher jack up the hefty price already.

Now with special features. The PS3 does come with a BluRay player natively and support for HDMI. They do win in that department as the x360 is yet to have HDMI and the HDDVD is just an addon. Then again the x360 has a nice and easy to use interface with PC connectivity and a mature xbox live platform.

So out of the 4 basic things. The x360 pretty much wins 3 out of 4 out right. The last one is pretty much a tie. That is if you have a large HDTV that supports the top of the line 1080p (now who does have a $2000 TV?).

NoPeace - out

o thats right... US is freakin tons cheaper than australia.. the xbox 360 is like $650 or something so thats why i aint gettin that...
plus PS3 is freakin stupid at being priced at over $1000 and i dont even think it has that many great games.
and because the Wii is an affordable price of $400 im going for that....
but call me biased because ive got n64 and gamecube although i admit gamecube STANK

[Kane Hart]

reason i added the wii is I'm not here have the post powerful system. Only reason I would not get wii cuz If I recall has no HD and it would not look good on my HDTV. Only reason! I think wii has some best games out there cuz there no frigan real looking people or cuz the explosion aint 100000 miles wide does not make it a bad system.

also the latest update for 360 added 1080p support ;)


Oh yeah Don't forget Gears of War ;)

1080p support means nothing with the current HD cables. =P

To make use of the 1080p support you'll need to wait until they finnally get around to releasing the HDMI cable for it. Which should be out soon as the system does support it and the HDDVD player comes out next week.

Now we just need to wait for 1080p patches for games. :D

PS3 = Metal Gear Solid 4

Enough said. :P

pshh I agree with No peace on saying Wii is defferent but that doesnt mean ps3 and 360 r automatically btr

Nintendo has a certain idea in mind when they created the wii whcih some people lack the research to know. They could have headed towards the graphics side of things but they chose not 2 u kno y?
Because the leader if nintendo mr.iwata believes that gameplay is a FAR more important thing then graphics will ever be and thats why he decided to take that step and make a console like no other knowing that at least some people would understand its defference and revolutionary capabilities. It doesnt stick to the same old graphics controller dark room enjoy concept ,though they are osme multi player games on the other consoles Wii leads the pack and has the MOST BEST multiplayers and versatile and involving [physically] games and personally have already ordered mi Wii and ill tell u im not the only one.

where else can u play tennis/base ball/AND bleach ^^

[Blitzer]

Wii defintly who need HD on a gaming system i mean i spent like 2 hours today playing Super Mario Bros just as much fun

omg you are kidding right?
the prices nopeace quoted are USD, its basically the same in aussie $. only significantly different prices are between japan and the US, where you can save up to $100 by buying em in jap.

p.s- GC stank? are you insane?

the 3 diff consoles... in theory, its actually a gameplay VS cpu power VS gfx comparison. and just by looking at that, gameplay wins hands down. Wii is gonna be awesome, gonna preorder mine this week hopefully. its afordable, has great remakes of the classic games we grew up playing, and much easier to use. wow omg it doesn't have a huge hdd!!! so what?

[Ramuthra]

well would you look at that, as soon as some adult arguements are put forward in a thread all the little ps3 fanboys run away.

back on topic, i own a 360 but i don't own a hdtv (cba) so HD compatibility means nothing to me. i despised the mgs series and was no great fan of ff series, so thats ps3 out of the window since other then that they got nothing going for them. 360 has lotsa great games hell it even has sonic now, so thats why i have that. the wii i love the games legend of zelda, pikmin (LOL), super smash bros. all of them are excellent games and its likely i will get one of those for round my grandads (where my gamecube currently resides).

[NoPeace]

Aint going to do much if it does or doesn't when there is no HDMI support. You need it for the full 1080p effect. >.<

It did stank. Worst system Nintendo ever made. There was only a handful of good games on it compared to the other systems.

Look at the NES? It had so many revolutionary games. What a damn good system it was.

Look at the SNES? It has to be the greatest system of all time. There was 100s of damn good games for it and the quality of thoes games are at times better then most newer ones. FF6 anyone?

Even look at the N64. It was no where near as good as it's predecessors but was still a damn good system. Doezens of great games for it which you can always go back and play. GoldenEye, Banjoo Kazoi, Mario 64, Mario Party, Mario Kart 64, etc.

The GCN just failed to live up to the Nintendo legacy.

I wont say the Wii wins out right in gameplay. The x360 has some great games for it with great gameplay. Just the gameplay of the x360 is best on your own or over the net unlike how the wii's gameplay is more centered around a group of people. Wii is really going to shine the most with it's on system multiplayer. Can't wait to see how silly the new Mario Party is going to be. O.O

NoPeace - out

[Genryu]

Nopeace! Don't forget Zelda for the N64 you noob!
It was the best of the best.
BTW Im not gonna buy any of them, sticking to my PC.

[Pieman]

Personally, I dont feel like playing serious games anymore, so WII is going to be awesome for me =p

[xeLJoYo]

If I'd get anything(not for a year at least...), I'd get the PS3, solely for the purpose of Gran Turismo.

You do know theyre going to be charging money for cars and tracks, right? I heard you only get 30 of the 500 cars available with the game...

As for my vote, its for the 360. One word. Achievements.

[NoPeace]

Achievemnets is such a great thing. Gives you something wierd and something stupid to do and then you see if you can actually do it. Have you seen some of the acheivemnets for Dead Rising? It's like. "Wow... You can actuall do that!?"

It also gives you somethign to work to. Gives you a guideline on what all there can be done and such. Pretty great idea I think.

[SWITCHBACK]

... Have you seen some of the acheivemnets for Dead Rising? It's like. "Wow... You can actuall do that!?"

Haha.

I was so close to buying it, but decided to rent. Thank god I did coz the achievements were so hard!

Sony tried to copy the Achievement idea, by renaming them Entitlements... just shows how low they were going to go. They pulled the plug on it, though.

[ElMarshal]

Well the xbox 360 tbh has some great games on it, tons of gameplay to be spent online and off. Its getting cheaper now and when it gets lower its probably gonna attract some ps3 boys that are still waiting for the ps3.

The ps3 on the other hand i was going to think of purchasing but thinking about it, its going to be slaughtered by the wii probably.
Think about it, the ps2 had the same kind of control the wii has as standerd (remember that) and i dout many knows what it is, i can't even remember the name off the top of my head but its a waste of time since the ps2 is dead towards the xbox360 atm and non has bothered with it.

The ps3 only has a few games to look forward to and that on its own will probably bring the loyal ps fanboys to buying it but i still think the wii is going to be the best.
Its quality tho, its even gone online now and that alone make me wont to get it (SMB online, freaking awesome).

Rishwin already said it,

Wii is gonna be awesome, gonna preorder mine this week hopefully. its afordable, has great remakes of the classic games we grew up playing, and much easier to use. wow omg it doesn't have a huge hdd!!! so what?

- Afordable
- classics

what else do you need. Outstanding gfx? Pah gameplay wins.

That imo sums it up.

[SWITCHBACK]

Also, with PS3, the games you play are locked to your console... no borrowing games from friends!

[ElMarshal]

The xbox360 and Wii have already won, unless sony can think of something fast, they aint going to sell alot.

Its the same reason why the GC didn't work out good, they didn't do alot of it except hope there classics will keep it alive. But this time they have put feature in it enough to keep many pleased at a cheap price.

The xbox360 even has the addons that will make it at least somewhat close to the ps3 stats so it really comes down to what sony can pull out the bag. At this time i aint planning on getting a ps3 anymore.

They shouldnt of pushed the release date to much.

[Dandune]

PS3 = Metal Gear Solid 4

Enough said. :P

MGS4 Is the only thing that makes me want to get a PS3, FF's are just getting old now and there doesn't seem to be any other good titles, unless they announce another Silent Hill. Got the Wii pre-ordered though :P

NoPeace - out

to me the n64 was their console flop (CG had alsmot no decent third party support...so that comes next) and I'm not talking about the games, the console was awful. Why the hell did they think a max reolution of 320x400-something was smart? sure the textures looked smoother than the playstation, but the damn thing was 3 times more powerful; that's just embarrassing (minus the video support). The controller made it worse, hell it was worse than the playstation contoller.



When people say the Wii isn't in the race for the consoles anymore because of the choice nintendo made tells me one thing; it's already at the finish line waiting for it's competitors to finish.
