Stand Back! There's a Hurricane Coming Through

OK, like some, I have yet to get a next gen console. I know we have had tons of threads about the specific brands, but I'm trying to bottom line it. I found this good review online.
So according to the reviewer, basically, if you just want a new fun system, get the Wii. If you are into better graphics and want to step up, its the X-Box 360 vs the PS3. If you are into online gaming your choice is the 360. If you want a home based console, it's the PS3. Do you guys agree with that? For those that have one or more of these systems, bottom line it for me. What do you think about them? What do you like or hate about them? |

I have a 360 and easy access to a Wii. For me, the 360 is potentially the best system in terms of gaming yet. I really don't care about all the extra stuff that usually a computer does because, well, I have a computer for all of that. And I really don't care about Blu-Ray nor do I see the point in it unless you're a technophile. And seeing that those two things are basically what people keep promoting with the PS3, despite that it should be a gaming system first, I have no interest in the console. The 360 has a fantastic layout, easily accessible online play, good customizability, some very good games, very good graphics (which aren't the most important thing, I think), e.t.c. Plus the 360 isn't being promoted by jackasses like Sony who would better serve their product by not saying anything at all. The Wii can be fun, but I find it ultimately boring. I felt it was too gimmicky before it was released and I still do. To me, the concept just gets old fast. Not to mention the controller seems to steadily drain batteries (while I've had to change my 360 batteries for the first time in a month or more despite many hours of play). The system really is a family system, so it's not really the system of choice if you prefer darker or more violent games - unless you prefer the violence being tamed down and perfromed by an italian plumber. The 360 basically has almost all of the best games out of the PS3 or 360's library. Many of the games that are awesome for the PS3 or will be awesome are available for the 360 and many are only available for the 360. The only three game titles that ever stick out in my mind that I wish the 360 had are Tekken, Metal Gear Solid, and God of War. Everything else is forgettable or already available for the 360. With the 360 and the Wii, Microsoft and Nintendo seem to let the console sell itself. Meanwhile, Sony is practically begging people to buy the PS3 by making all sorts of promises and bold claims that may all amount to little or nothing in five years. |

BURN IT DOOOWWNNNNNNNN!

I want them all, to be honest. I grew up with Nintendo, but that doesn't make me a fanboy, I'm a fan of all the gaming consoles. Though, if I had to pick one, I would go with the 360 since it's geared to more online gaming, which is essential here in college. Wii would be a close second, since it has a few one player games I'm dying to play. PS3 doesn't have a strong library for my taste just yet. |

I'm still waiting and I'll tell you why. I don't play online. Not a fan of it. So, I don't need that feature. I have a lot of PS2 and PS1 games. My debate is between the PS3 and 360. But, with all new consoles, it's always the 2nd run of the game that is better than the first. For example, SD! on PS2 sucked. Then, the 2nd edition was a lot better. So, I am waiting, not only on another price break that usually comes after tax season in April, but also for the PS3 library to grow. I don't have to be the 1st to get the new hot gadget, so I don't mind waiting. I guess right now, the 360 has a better library, but I wonder if, in the long run, the PS3 will be a better system for me to buy? |

That will probably depend on whether or not Sony will decide to put out more than a handful of great exclusive titles rather than boast about how powerful their system is. |

A lot of this comes down to how a specific game company *uses* the ability of the system. Looking at graphics on a tetris-like game will be much different than viewing the graphics of Oblivion or Gears of War. I found 360 graphics amazing on Oblivion. I equally found the PS3 graphics quite impressive on Genji's cut scenes (no enemy crabs in sight). Since both are high definition, I think that both have the same potential in real life terms. Both really shine in terms of fluid motion, precise detail and realism. I've seen it on both systems, on certain games. I've also seen junky graphics on both systems. Both are much better than the Wii.
