Ps3 vs 360 vs Wii

[edmundomcpot]

however the ps3 has what the wii has

LIES!

how is it lies? the only thing the ps3 doesn't have is fully motion sense like the wii has....but how motion sensitive do people want....like if i want to play games, i don't always want to be standing up playing and have to move around, i want to sit down and relax a little bit.

It doesn't have:

1: Motion sensing
2: Rumble capability
3: Lightpointing (eg, a light gun)
4: The Virtual Console
5: Nintendo games.
6: A decent way to play FPS games

1. Sixaxis motion sensing controller
2. true - didnt want to increase price further by having to pay royalties to immersion
3. Its hardly standard for any machine..with all the acceserios and batteries needed for the wii it will quickly amount to a fairly high price...oh and the playstation originally had a gun usable for time crisis (dont know if it was available for anything else)
4. virtual console = downloading games....playstation network/shop
5. what sort of argument is that... most nintendo games i lay my eyes on seem to be very childish or shallow...so ill just say you dont have mgs,gta. ff etc.
6. i have never been able to imagine playing fps's with the wiimote.. icant imagine at any moment it feels like a gun

some points against the wii

1. Wiimote run with batteries
2. you have to pay if you want to play normally...leading to pay extra money when developers un out of originall ideas for the wiimote
3. doesnt have eyetoy
4. ive held a wii mote..it felt like my digital remote...far to easily lost down sofas
5.Nintendo rely far too heavily on never ending franchises with the same story line
6. terrible box cover signiture/logo..it has too be said...the look intruding


Hit game Zelda was originally planned for gamecube....which is beside the point i was about to make anyway my friends completed all the mission things that progress the game to get 100% completed he said he has to catch every fish or something like that

it took him 2 hurs to catch one common fish...he can no longer be bothered

5. what sort of argument is that... most nintendo games i lay my eyes on seem to be very childish or shallow...so ill just say you dont have mgs,gta. ff etc.

K, whatever about whatever else you said, but that is freakin bullshit. I'm tired of this Nintendo games are childish bullshit. Just because it's accessible to children doesn't mean it's not a great game, with lots of depth-see just about every Mario game ever.

Also GTA is incredibly shallow, once you get over the fact that you get to go round killing and doing other such stuff, you'll realise that the game mechanics aren't much good/varied, that they didn't put much time into refining the actual game, and instead just added a bigger and bigger world, which I'll admit is important, but not if the way you interact with is bad. At least that's the impression I got from playing GTA3, and whatever the one after that was... vice city I think. I actually like GTA2.

MGS hasn't been that good since the first one, the second was alright, but not great, and they were porting the first to Gamecube I think, before I lost interest in games.

FF... I like FF, though I didn't like 10 and haven't played any of the ones after that.


Briefly onto some other of your points-

some points against the wii

1. Wiimote run with batteries

-nitpicking

2. you have to pay if you want to play normally...leading to pay extra money when developers un out of originall ideas for the wiimote

-still costing less than PS3.

3. doesnt have eyetoy

- I never got the hype over eyetoy-similar software had been available packaged with webcams for years. Eyetoy just developed it a little more, made it a bit prettier and marketed it.

4. ive held a wii mote..it felt like my digital remote...far to easily lost down sofas

-more nitpicking this time very rediculous.

5.Nintendo rely far too heavily on never ending franchises with the same story line

-Yet all the games you mentioned earlier are of the same franchises... Plus the story line thing is just a lie.

6. terrible box cover signiture/logo..it has too be said...the look intruding

-nitpicking and a matter of taste, are we actually talking about the box now?

my friends completed all the mission things that progress the game to get 100% completed he said he has to catch every fish or something like that

it took him 2 hurs to catch one common fish...he can no longer be bothered

Can't comment, haven't played a Wii yet.

And I don't care how fat you are, you can move your hand a bit. That's all you need to do to use the wiimote.

Fanboys like you are laughable, really. I have a 360 and a Wii, and if Sony ever see sense about actually releasing the PS3 in Europe, and reducing the stupid price, I'm pretty sure I'll end up getting one of those as well, but I'll tell you now, the Wii is the most fun console I've ever had. And I've had them all, from the Genesis and SNES onwards.

It's brilliant, its the best toy I've ever bought, and everyone who's played mine wants one too, 55 year old parents included. It's new and fun and exciting, everything a new console should be.

Get over yourself. Sony have got this generation so very wrong it's funny. The PS3's WAY overpriced, overpowered and over-specced.. the blu-ray drive was a huge mistake. I don't actually want one right now, and I haven't not bought a console in years.

Wo wo wo, first off, im not fat at all....im average size, not toothipick skinny but not fat, and second im not a fan boy at all man, i just know the systems and find sony is the best one out of them all.

You say the wii has all those things, yes it does and thats cool...but any sports games or sword games you need to be standing to play due to huge arm movements....now shooting games...thats bin out for a long as time man for that style, they tried that style of shooting like 20 years ago i think and it failed...though this time it will probably suceed which is good.

Um im just not into all those kids games and shit nintendo puts out now, if i want a newer game, i would rather buy it for the ps3 or xbox because of better graphics and memory than buying the same game on a wii. And yes i still own a super nintendo and n64 and ps1. Those are great consoles back then and are still fun to play (i had to throw my nintendo out due to it broke).

Now for price man, if you honestly think ps3 is overpriced you should go and hide in a cave, if you seriously look at what your getting for the system at that price you would realize it is quite cheaper than you think. The wii, well it is cheap because its cheaper graphics and only thing new that nintendo brought was the remote, other than that same old shit, it has graphics of a xbox or ps2 basically....
For xbox 360, now thats more comparible to ps3 but still looses, you got to pay for online, pay for cooling problems, doesn't have HDMI, wireless interent for 360 costs $120ish i believe Canadian (not sure on this one but don't think you can plug usb flash drives into it) and if you want to compare the discs to each other, you would have to spend $200 for the HD-DVD drive which is still less than the blue ray...so thats $820 canadian for xbox 360 to be close to same stuff as ps3, but still lacking flash drives, sd drive and full backwards compatibility. So the ps3 is quite reasonable priced for what your paying for, remember more money it costs most of the time, the more quality and features you get.

So im not a fan boy, im just stating facts man thats all. And i do plan on buying a WII eventually also

Hit game Zelda was originally planned for gamecube....which is beside the point i was about to make anyway my friends completed all the mission things that progress the game to get 100% completed he said he has to catch every fish or something like that

thanks man for also helping me out saying ps3 is better, again not a fan boy over just sony system, halo looks great but im not going to buy a 360 just for halo, and for wii...well i only ever liked super smash brothers, perfect dark and mario cart, so doesn't look appealing at all.
The funny thing is, that everyone keeps going oh sony fan boys are complaing and bragging and shit..well i haven't seen that many sony fan boys, they are mainly just stating facts that beat other systems...it was same when 360 was realeased, all 360 fan boys came and bragged and shit...but now that ps3 is out and people are argueing over which system is better...the 360 and wii people have come quite since they have nothing to argue about that ps3 doesn't have...only think ps3 doesn't have is full motion sensor that wii has, but that doesn't make that big of a difference.....

oh and above i read ps3 came out with same controller and is same as ps2, you are right the ps3 came out with the same design as ps2 but just added the 6axis motion sensing, more trigger fire on L2 and R2 buttons, turn on system by control (same as 360) and believe joysticks have more direction to them.....and i also find ps3/ps2 controls comfortable to hold and all buttons easily accesible and in a logical place...i don't like feel 360 controlers and wii..can't say cause haven't tried but looks like my stereo remote..

See that's the problem with society today. We're too lazy to get off our asses and actually do something.

I make it a point to walk at least 1 mile everyday, more if I have the time, I go to Football workouts 2-3 times a week and I go to the gym every weekend for 3 hours not to mention the other activities Im involved in.

very nice man good job, well its winter now so i don't do much exercises, but i work out by lifting some weights and when summer comes start biking again...

[dcowboys055]

i have a 360 and i've only played ps3 once and wii never. to me, the 360 is great. price is right in the middle, it has the best online play, looks nice, etc.

[Fircoal]

the wii is the best, from what I've heard, is that the ps3 only addes better graphics. Even if they are really good, look at the price.

WIi rules, and it has the some of the best games

[Geographical]

If you are going to make fun of the wii, Don't make fun of the controller it's awesome. Here's a suggestion as for scratching your nose. Pause it, then scratch.

Im not being sarcastic. I like wiis. You have anything against it?

[P Gizzle]

i like 360 cuz it works for me....it's in the middle, for price range, has good games that I like, since i don't like Zelda, just mostly sports and shooting games, so it works....plus live is a big plus

[maniacmath17]

We can talk all day about graphics and prices and all the other stuff, but what it comes down to in the end is GAMES. I just finished playing through Zelda: Twilight Princess for the Wii, and it was great. In depth dungeons with several puzzles and entertaining boss battles.

I also can't wait for the other games coming out for the Wii including Super Smash Bros Brawl, Super Mario Galaxy, and the new Metroid Prime game. Also just games like Wii sports are great for family and friends that have never played video games before since there is virtually no time needed to learn the controls and it allows you to get up and move a little.

I guess if you just want to play some online shooters with great graphics then go with the 360 or the ps3. But if you want to play the best games out there and be able to play some unique and entertinaing multiplayer games, then go with the Wii.

[morph]

hmm.... im just gonna say this... x-box knew its best graphics early on... it never really improved... the same is gonna happen and is happening with the 360... that is the likely reason why it is cheap is because they didint invest really great or improved tech... the cheapness factor is the biggest selling point...

ps2.... game just came out, final fantasy (yes im a fan kiss my arse) you look at the graphics with that game and you compare it to other games within the ps2 for improvment in graphics in the games and compare it to the last time you saw a game with the x-box that seemed to have such improved graphics.. pretty sure it has been awhile... last game i heard was halo.. that had "kickass graphics" the new final fantasy game for ps2 has better graphics then halo as far as im concerned... and yes ive played it


i put this thought together and i figure the ps3 is gonna keep improving over and over, hence it being expensive... i wait for awhile, the bugs get sorted out... the price comes down and ill hopefully have a job and bam ill buy one for a cheaper price... im not in a rush to get rid of my ps2... i have great games for it and so far i have yet to see any games of the ps3, 360 or wii that interest me enough to rush out and do it..


i think the wii will be better then 360... for the pure fact of the controller and the games that go along with the controller... granted graphics may not be as great or whatever but nintendo was never one to sit there and go hard core for graphics and all the new stuff, they think about new inivative stuff, stuff that is not happening in the others... hence the controller... also their games have been fun as hell, non-violent, and thinking games (most give you a few thoughts to try and do stuff and figure stuff out) which is perfect for younger kids, meaning parents will buy it for their really young kids.... so ya...

[P Gizzle]

the only reason i don't like the wii, is that i don't like any of the games...i like a lot of the 360 games, so it seemed like a good choice for me

[edmundomcpot]

i just meant its hard for an adult/teenager to go into a store and buy the latest pokemon or mairo game. twighlight light princess is mending this image but its become less accesable to children, apparntly the twighlight zone is quite scary


Briefly onto some other of your points-

some points against the wii

1. Wiimote run with batteries

-nitpicking
this is my major complaint with the wii, its not nitpicking. X-Box and ps2 had wireless controllers that were recharchable, 360 and PS3 wireless have rechargechable batteries. Its annoying if your conntroller rns out of power and you cant just plug it in, its even more annoying if youve run out of batteries.

3. doesnt have eyetoy

- I never got the hype over eyetoy-similar software had been available packaged with webcams for years. Eyetoy just developed it a little more, made it a bit prettier and marketed it.
fair point but its still fun and the ps3 eyetoy is coming soon which will provide even more options

5.Nintendo rely far too heavily on never ending franchises with the same story line

-Yet all the games you mentioned earlier are of the same franchises... Plus the story line thing is just a lie.
i didnt realy mean sequals..i meant things that stray away from the original game..( i know its not nintendo but look at rayman ravaging rabbids)

6. terrible box cover signiture/logo..it has too be said...the look intruding

-nitpicking and a matter of taste, are we actually talking about the box now?

the labels on the games. i realy dont like it.. i dont know why, it just looks weird and my attention is always their when i walk past wii sections in stores

[KEYOGI]

I hate threads like this, every fanboy has an opinion and they're always misguided.

The way I see it, PS3 and the 360 are basically the same. When it comes to the same game on each platform, they're going to be virtually identical in graphics, with one having slightly better lighting or textures or frame-rate over the other. The only thing that seperates these two are exclusive games, online service and controller.

For me, I dislike the PlayStation controller, it is poorly designed and out of date. I just like the Xbox exlcusive franchises over the Sony ones. If I could afford both consoles I'd get both, but when it comes down to a choice, I choose the 360 because it suits what I want. Not because it's any better or worse than the PS3.

The Wii is in a totally different basket, and worth having alongside one of the other two. Nintendo exclusive's are always great but they are too few and far between and I feel that they're starting to suffer from a lack of imagination. The console is great, but the games aren't as original as they used to be.

[reverend_kyle]

I denied a horny ex girlfreind calling me telling me to f*ck her to play the ps3 it was that great.


All I wanted to have was sex over the headset while playing halo online... to compare and contrast the two consoles.

[Bertros Bertros]

Apparently the PS3 is going to launch at around £350 in the UK for the small version upto £450 for the biggun. Yup thats over $800. The price tag is going to put a lot of people over here off buying one.

Also, the news from friends of mine working for big players in the games industry is Sony aren't making a lot of friends in the industry either at the moment because they are making it increasingly tough for developers to get games approved for Playstation. If that leads to a drop in the number of games getting ported for PS3 then thats going to affect its appeal as well.

Why I would care is beyond me though, I haven't played a console in years. Tell a lie my friend brought his Wii over at New Years. It was great fun!

[qeee1]

i just meant its hard for an adult/teenager to go into a store and buy the latest pokemon or mairo game. twighlight light princess is mending this image but its become less accesable to children, apparntly the twighlight zone is quite scary

Well if you want a console for the image it'll give you...

[edmundomcpot]

not entirley sure what you meant but i buy the consoles for the games i can play

at the moment i have quite a few ps2 games im desperate to finish so im buying a ps3

[strike wolf]

Im not being sarcastic. I like wiis. You have anything against it?

Nope. I think all the new systems have awesome features. And I think the remote for the Wii is probably the best out of all of them.
