PS3 IS THE FUTURE
Xbox is the PRESENT
Nintendo is the PAST
Nintendo machines suck
Playstation is superior
and yes im expecting lots of sage and anti sony flames, or troll atempts dont fail me now
This place is generally too slow to allow for decent trolls. I'm not saying you shouldn't try, but it's probably not going to be very exciting.
the future is a dystopia i see
>PS3 IS THE FUTURE
>Xbox is the PRESENT
>Nintendo is the PAST
Therefore,
PS3 = Skuld: Technically advanced but seldom works properly
Xbox = Belldandy: Pretty and pleasant to be around, but nothing exciting about it
Nintendo = Urd: Sexy body, likes making you do weird stuff
Umm, ps3 is so expensive that the only reason it's "teh futur" is that by the time you can afford it, the console wars will be over.

Also, as I said to someone last night.
Wii = "We" as in togetherness.
XBox360 = 360degrees of lonliness, all your friends are on XBox live.
It's time to get together and have fun with video games!!
Flamebait does not a troll make. It's just boring.
personally, i don't see the problem with sticking to an old atari 2600... it's probably the best console ever developed anyway.

That video is lose and fail compared to the sisters.
What is the price of ps3?(in ¥ nt $)
>>14 Still pretty pricey compared to the Wii.
Xbox = Mikuru (hueg, but not used)
Wii = Yuki (alien controller)
PS3 = Haruhi (shiny but acts like a bitch)
lol blue ray.
$5999
As for "Must buy games", the Wii comes in as superior...

I mean, HOLY FSCKING SHIT!
<3 Wii
I actually have played a little of the Wii, even though I am a PC Gamer (PC ftw!) But, I think I shall purchase a wii now. Trauma Center is Hadoken. (Of course, I shall be purchasing a geforce 8800 GTX beforehand)
I want to try a Wii, but I can't find any dammned demo units. Are they only south of the border in North America?

The Wii is excellent.
Most of the people over in /v/ don't seem to get the whole "innovative gameplay" thing. But I'm a convert even though I totally mocked my roommates for staying up all night at Target to get one. Once I got a chance to mess with it, I was won over. Congratulations to Nintendo and the people who've jumped on the bandwagon for putting gameplay and fun first.
If I get new roommates at some point or lose these ones, I'm going to have to get a Wii for myself.
Wii revolutionizes gameplay. Now it`l feel like playing at the arcade centres in Japan.
I wonder if there`ll be similar controllers (not referring to the remote control shape, but to that motion sensor thing) for PS3?
I love the new gameplay for Wii, but some games I think people should go out and play--- I saw a demo game for Wii Bowling. People playing it were really into it, and was fun to watch them play, but there's a bowling alley about 2 blocks away...
>>25
You won't sprain your fingers and crush your foot doing Wii Bowling. I think, anyway. It's also easier and (possibly) cheaper.
Something to be said for the real game, but I'd opt for tennis instead. I can find the shit for that lying around my house and play for free at the local park. :p
>>26
You won't sprain your fingers and crush your foot actually bowling, unless you're shit. The appeal in Wii Sports is pretty much that you don't have to leave your house.
>>27 Or pay money, one payment for years of fun. And especially with winter upon us, staying nice and cozy.
i have a Wii.. it's fun to start with but if you cant afford new games it get's boring really fast. i really liekd the new Zelda thou and i have never been a zelda fan. anouther game that isent that fun at all is Red Steal, it sucked but it's new to me and a bit hard to play so im still hooked.
I've played the Wii at a friend's house, and am hooked. I'm not a console gamer (except for FF7, and Super Mario 64, back in those days). Right after I upgrade my comp (getting old now) I'll buy a Wii. I like Call of Duty, if you set the sensitivity down a bit.
>>24 iirc sony did patent a motion sensing controller or something a few weeks ago
I'm no sony-hater but geez they're not even trying to hide that they're copying nintendo lol
>>32
Durr. Add-on peripherals for consoles, unless they're drop-in replacements for something bundled, generally die a quick and lonely death; it's not worth spending the programming time to make games support them. See Nintendo's rumble paks, PS1's multitap, pretty much every peripheral Sega ever released, etc...
Actually, that might not be quite true in this case, because Wii ports may wish to preserve the original control scheme. I wouldn't count on this improving Sony's situation, though.
I have always been a die hard Nintendo fan. I do like Playstation and if PS3 wasnt half a grand, i would buy it. But i do have the Wii and enjoy it very much. What i like about nintendo is they are always trying new things with how to play video games, and they usually do well (not counting virtual boy which has its own little appeal) The most important thing about video gaming is to have fun in my opinion and Wii has that hands down.
My best friend just recently got a PS3, and it's been erroring alot. Also.. That thing is hugee. ˚Д˚
but really. I personally like the Wii better. Just 'cause I can move around and look stupid while playing a game. :3
599 US DOLLARS 599 US DOLLARS 599 US DOLLARS 599 US DOLLARS 599 US DOLLARS
then why is it that nintendo gains more profit than the playstation brand?
>>37
because playstations are sold at a loss and wiis are sold at a gain
>>38
therefor nintendo wins
I mean, doesn't it make you feel all fuzzy and warm inside to know that Sony would rather bring you the PS3 at an affordable price then make a profit?
...No, not really, because they're still more attached to their shitty blu-ray then to actual gamers.
I'd like to get all the 7th Generation systems at some point, so the only factor for me is money. So, I have a Wii.
Also, there's the fact that Wii has plenty of games I want for it that are already out or coming soon. All PS3 has is Resistance, and Xbox 360 only has Dead Rising and Gears of War (which I've heard is too short anyway.) So far, all the Wii games I have I enjoy (ever since I sold Red Steel. God, that game was awful.)
I have to get a PS3 at some point because of Metal Gear 4 and FFXIII, (seeing as I'm a tool) but that may take a few years...
SONY has run out of ideas, they just put everything they have into a black chest and say "It's sooo neeeewww, newgen!!!" I've read some hardware reviews of the PS3, and it comes out that the system doesn't even use correctly its apps and its huge capacity. BluRay? We are not ready for that yet, unless the prices drop and the BluRay readers/burners are sold at an OK price. The PlayStation Shop? I don't know where that's going, but it is awfully unfair for PSP users (such as me) to have to use or own a PS3 system to download PSOne games. Hopefully homebrew kicks in one day with those.
Nintendo opens a new type of gaming market. The games and the controller itself are really weird, but if you like it that's wonderful. I find that type of gaming really user-intensive: acceptable health conditions, notion of position, etc. Still, I think that something like that is amazing. What will come next after the Wii -__-? It's a little strange how Nintendo went from its common controller form to that little thing.
Final veredict: SONY: gb2 /b/!!! Seriously, such a rip off like the PS3 will cost you a lot one day. Nintendo: what else do you have in mind for us newgen gamers? Bring it on. But we'd like a somewhat larger variety of games.
However, I don't prefer any of those systems as I am OK with my PSP (F*cking updates!!!!) >.< I just hope for a PSP2.
Ok, if Nintendo is the past then..
Explain why the ps3 acts like an old fart? Breaks down all the time, slow loading, lag--all sounds fairly geriatric to me.
Whereas my Wii plays nice and smooth. These people should wait until they get smooth working technology before implementing it.
So really it boils down to--do you like your future innovative or shitty? If they don't improve the ps3, you fans of it are looking at a shitty future.
Anyone know where I can get a wii in the NY/NJ area? All the malls near me are sold out, they only have walls of unsold ps3s.

PS3 is the future. ffxiii devil may cry etc (just imagine it had no blue ray and you'd have allot less to flam about ^^ )
wii is new but once you twisted the controller often enuth it gets boring controler > games (i know, zelda -.-)
x360... has a lot of games but thay sumhow all suck. racig, shooter, bla no story based games (and sins i have to fucking work with the x360 i truly hat it, it has no future potential)

I don't know what you do in your country but civilized people on this board typically speak English.
If ps3 is really "teh futur" then why isn't anyone buying it? Why are there piles and piles of ps3s everywhere you go, yet people are still having to search high and low for a Wii?

Yeah Ps3 is extremely expensive, has a great game selection and a few bugs. The Wii has alot of bad games, but the originality, and operability is exceptional. If you ask me ARCADE FTW.
> Yeah Ps3 has a great game selection
whut?
> The Wii has alot of bad games
as does every other console. it's more the amount of good games which matters.
> If you ask me ARCADE FTW.
word. unfortunately they're dead and buried on this side of the pond, due to overprotective parents and rising profit expectations. time to move on.

I hear the Australian and European PS3 midnight launches were a major flop. Hardly any lineups beforehand and low sales. I guess everyone got nervous about the violence in the American launch and waited until the daytime, or stayed home with their Wiis.
People were queuing in London 2 days prior to release, I know that much.
>>56
too bad TFLOPS is a meaningless measurement
Good thing he didn't compare with actual GAMEING CONSOLES. Fanboys know better than to give out relevant information.
PS3 is a FLOP lol
Honestly, I'm impartial...I'm waiting for my 360 to be fixed so I can buy some new games for it. I am enjoying my Wii. I'm waiting for the price to drop on the PS3, and also waiting for some games I'm interested in to come out on it.
Well they are relevant numbers if you are gonna use your console to do number crunching all day long. Yes, the PS3 is in fact the console with the fastest CPU on the market. This is a moot point.
I own a PS3 because I use it as a media center box as well as a game console. But I can understand why someone would want to fire up an NES or SMS or SNES or Wonderswan for that matter and play the games with which they are already familiar.
Anyway those numbers posted in >>56 are Folding@Home numbers. They show that there are PS3s out there crunching the numbers to help the scientific community really well. They are not comparative benchmarks. The reason there are no consoles up there is that PS3 is currently the only console that runs the Folding@Home program.
>>64
TFLOPS isn't a measurement of how fast a CPU crunches numbers. It measures how fast the CPU executes instructions. How much the CPU actually gets done with each instruction is not taken into account, and is equally important when gauging its end productivity.
Moreover, the PS3 is only faster at doing a very specific set of mathematical problems, and a good deal slower for the rest. The Folding@Home client has been tailored to supply them with the specialty set. It's no PC killer.
Actually, looking at the top 10 list, 70% of the games on the list are X360, not ps3 or Wii. And 1 of the remaining games is a ps2 game.
Being that gamers follow the games, I think we have a good indication of who will win the console wars. X360 has the games, and X360 will thus get the gamers.
As a 360 owner myself, I have to say that the time gap between the 360 release and the release of the other systems is quite significant. I think it needs a little more time before we can clearly declare the 360 as the top winner. Volume of games doesn't necessarily mean a win, because often when a system has a lot of games, a good portion of them are cheap bad games or franchise milkers. Games do matter, but it's the third party game makers that matters most. The PS2 snagged Square, snagged Capcom (for the most part) and other very good third parties. That was what made it's success, not it's cheap dev kits which anyone who wanted to make a name could get. Quality games are what attracts gamers. However, an overly expensive dev kit can repel even the best and richest game studios.
However unless Nintendo manages to convince third parties to make good games for the Wii, the 360 most likely does have the upper hand. It was the first out, and it has an inexpensive dev kit. However it does seem the novelty of the Wii does attract some gamers, so it's really a toss up to see which climbs out on top, 360 or Wii.
Me and my computer science degree see no use in arguing about how wrong you are about this. kthxbai.
>>70
so... you're saying you know more about the folding@home software then the people who wrote it?
or is it just the first part that's BS?
The head start has certainly helped matters. No denials there. But since X360 has probably double the install base of the ps3 as well as a nice library for new purchasers to play with, I think if I was a developer, I'd at least port to the X360, simply because more people already have a 360. Without some good exclusives, ps3 pretty well dies -- if I can get Oblivion for X360 and ps3, I'd probably go for X360, not ps3 for a few reasons.
First, a decent size library of other games. With ps3, it's been 6 months and there's still no "must have" games. Heck, ps3 games take up only about half a rack at a VG store, as compared to 3/4 of a wall for X360. What that means to J. Random Gamer is that with a ps3 and Oblivion, that's pretty much gonna be it for a few more months, while X360 and Oblivion gives him the possibility of dozens of other games to try. Even if half of them are complete garbage, that's still double the entire ps3 library.
Second, a used Core X360 is $300. A ps3 is $600. That means double the price for a game system that will sit around for 8 months before the "good games" start dropping. Unless you're a Blu-Ray fan, there's no reason to buy a ps3. And unless there are a lot of GREAT games within the next 3-6 months, I think they'll start bleeding exclusives. No one will put a flagship franchise on an ailing system. Square might even switch -- FF sells more in the USA and Europe, two places that aren't buying ps3s in large numbers.
Im saying the first part is BS. I agree with your second paragraph .

"Please learn to words." EPIC IRONIC WIN
PURE COMPUTER POWER IS EVERYTHING FUCK SO CALLED "FUN"
Power helps, but remember these are game systems. No games, no one buys them.
I'm sorry, >>74 has a genetic condition where he isn't able to recognize sarcasm. Please excuse him.
The key to being the superior console:
Just look at the history of every console.
-SMS has better graphics, but a small amount of games unlike NES.
-Both the Genesis and SNES had boat-loads of games, and thus could compete.
-Neo Geo had superior graphics, great games, and was priced entirely too high ($650 in 1991).
-N64 attempted the strategy of having only good games and couldn't compete with playstation's endless amount of titles. N64 had far superior graphics. Even if it could have had FMV, it wouldn't have survived.
-GC shouldn't have survived, but carved itself a niche and somehow survived against PS2 & XBOX, who both had numerous titles.
http://www.ps3center.net/story-394.html
PS3 in memoriam.
Also, lol.
>>78
5. Marketing
>>78
-N64 didn't fail
-GC survived cuz even though it had fewer titles, it had SSBM, Metroid, and other high profile games continuley coming out.
-Xbox survived due to Halo. It never would of gotten off the ground if Halo never came out.
>>83
N64 is still a worthwhile console because of Nintendo's own games (and Mystical Ninja: Starring Goemon) but in terms sales, lifespan and number of decent games, compared to the PS1 it failed.
Playstation dominated the console market when the N64 and Dreamcast came out. It had more games and if you fix it up a bit it was capable of playing soundtracks and copies of dvds.
One of the reasons why even bought an N64 was because of mario and the zelda games.
>-N64 attempted the strategy of having only good games and couldn't compete with playstation's endless amount of titles.
Not to mention the fact that they were using an overly expensive media platform and were telling people what they wanted rather than listening to them. PS3 much?
>N64 had far superior graphics.
No.
>Even if it could have had FMV, it wouldn't have survived.
It did occasionally have FMV (such as in Resident Evil 2); it was just very hard to do consistently given the constraints of the cartridge medium.
ITT we compare a console against a corporation.
Go!
Anyone see the last Media Create numbers? The top 21 games are all Wii or DS. o_O Even in the mayhem of Golden Week, the PS3 didn't get a spike in sales.
yeah i bet they are. lol.
ummm..yikes. Fuck Nintenbabies and FUCK Nintendo. Sony is uber based.
WE WUZ KANGZ
what the guy above said, also fuck Bethesda.
