PS3 vs Xbox 360 Vs Wii!

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

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

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

NoPeace - out

PS3 = Metal Gear Solid 4

Enough said. :P

apparently already call of duty 2 has it

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 ^^

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

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.

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?

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).

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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,

- Afordable
- classics

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

That imo sums it up.

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

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.

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

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.

nv actually played anything pre-n64, but i had a 64 and a GC and they both rocked... the GC more so with the sequals to 64's great games (sequals with better gfx + gameplay + controls = better imho) :P

Everything about that so far is based on rumour; I've read dozens of different versions, many coming from renowned sites...

Worst version being that in order to get all content you'd pay up to $700.
(you'd have to pay for every single car n track...)

Best version being (and imo more likely), that everything is just in the game, only needs to be unlocked. Customers can decide to pay a small fee for a car or track to get it directly, while this can be achieved in the game itself too.




Besides, GTHD isn't a full sequel, it's a taste of the ultimate power of the PS3 combined with GT4 online. (And you ever read about the online futures, they're fucking amazing)

Few things not bashing them but ps3 is almost out had a lot of press on it not all at once. Xbox 360 well its out :P and well as ps3 more then 360 people checking out Nintendo. But also Nintendo usually takes like 40+% of the gaming industry.

Lol I agree Wii is gonna own but saying the nintendo 64 floped?? wtf it owned my friend it had at least as many games and ps1 even more probalby it had great control with it great Z button that made playing golden eye killer also how can we forget zelda which allowed you to roam hyrule field for hours on end. Its engine was satisfactory and i can still sit down and play a good hour of the original super smash bro with out wincing at the graphics guys , people still dont get it i dont think nintendo was EVER intrested in graphics they cared for gameplay and only gameplay and that why theyre so many good titles on the 64 rather then the ps1 which with its gems ,in my personal taste just didnt carry it like the catridges ^^

p.s. thanks for the praise guys i am a dedicated nintendo supporter and i dont play ragecraft though i am intrested in it

I know y'all disagree w/ me.

But I am a privileged white boy.

I can't wait for the PS3 to come out, and when it does, I am going to get the $600 one.

Can't wait. God damn it's gonna be leet.

My whole life i've been a playstation person, I had the Ps1, and currently I own a ps2.

But in the end, the fact of the matter is.

Computer Owns All

people with no real friends tend to like the computer gaming community. why have real human contact when you can type to some1?


and why are ppl so <insert smart word> that PS3 costs so much? they can buy a 3k pc but not a $600 system?

X-box 360 ftw its ownage i am gettin 1 4 Xmas. but my m8 has 1 lol i carnt argue bout it cos ps3 aint out yet lol but Xbox own an ps suck my 7 inch cock.

1.My pc is worth 1500,-
2.Cause you can do more on the PC.

Wow, intresting thread? I've just read NoPeace's posts as he always has a good understandable opinion.

I myself am only going to own a 360, for the pure reason i'm a microsoft man :) I love Halo and the fact of xBox Live and almost all of my friends have a 360 and xbox live we all have the same games and own a huge clan :P G.R.A.W on live is sooo fun ! Here are the facts of why I think the 360 will win with flying colours;
HD Movies / HD Tv shows on marketplace - 1000 Microsoft points which is about 8 pounds? 8 Pounds for a movie which you can delete and then download again and again and again?

Demos - These are free god damn, HD DEMOS FOR FREE what more can you ask for ? Try the game before you buy, if you didnt like the demo look for a review :P

HD DVD Drive - I'm still unsure if this will support HD DVD games? If not then I wont be purchsing. But god damn it almost lives up to Blu-Ray ! Thats the game quality matched.

HDMI Support planned - Well we've already got the update for 1080p so wheres our leads microsoft?

Great support - They'll take it in and repair it the same week!

Achivements - Sometimes these can be anoying as you dont have as much as your friend, but still you can spend some time looking for them !

Removeable harddrive - Can make bigger / Use XSATA lead to plug the hard drive into a PC via USB and get a whole 250gb of space!

Dashboard - Wow, this is the most easy to use GUI i've ever seen in my life.

Camera - One word, amazing. It rarley lags and the quality is amazing if tuned properly.

Faceplates - Omfg, these are wkd, mines custom by an artist who lives up the road from me and hell does it look good!

And much more...

The xBox 360 will come out on top for the pure factor of it being released first.

Bug OUTTERSDS!

With all some of those points it kinda depends what country you live in like great support in australia its shit dont ask why just is.

Oh nd it being on the top cos it was released first is pretty..dumb cos n1.its cost 1k when it came out now it is 700 alsosome people are patient and are not going to waste over 500 moola on the first console that comes out they bid their time and check out all the stats of the systems and the games on them like you can see in this thread.

I wouldnt mind buying a ps3 is it was good. If i wanted a PC id buy a PC, not a games console. So why are sony trying to sell my a PC that only plays games, uh no? If i wanted a HD film player, id go for the HD DVD personaly, costs ALOT less, why pay what &#163;300-&#163;400 for a ps3 when you can get a 360 and a hddvd for about &#163;300 anyway?
Sony fanboys seem to go on about bluray but 360 you can do exactly the same thing. Then theres the whole 1080p, when as of last update i think 360 can already support, the only problem is the leads suck :p
There are however bad points for the 360, why the hell have a better gfx card than the ps3 when it cant output enough data to TVs? lol

Personaly im planning on getting the wii purely because it seems to be the best this genertion, if i wanted a game with brilliant gfx id buy a PC game but for consoles i want something a PC cant give me. Nintendos games always seem to be a cut above the rest in gameplay. The new controller looks nice aswell but id be happy enough with upgrades of gamecube games tbh :p
