Playstation 3 & Xbox 360 & WII

[Reiyoku]

On a website I found, I saw the Playstation 3 has been given a hard time, apprently the Nintendo WII is doing much better than the PS3 and people as always are complaning about the price, I don't have a problem with that because I don't really care about that, but here is where I got it from,

http://www.cinemablend.com/games/PS3-Gets-pwned-by-the-Wii-2134.html

Apprently they say it is a showdown between the Xbox 360 and the Nintendo WII but it my opinion I feel that the PS3 is more then stocked, give it a year or so before they release more powerful games, I feel Sony are biding there time.

Look at the titles that are due to come out in the next year or this year, we have titles such as Final Fantasy XIII, Metal Gear Solid. Grand Theft Auto 4.


There's only a matter of time.

the PS3 is awesome.. just far too expensive

[Neodude112320]

If sony cut there prices,Sony would be WAY ahead

[Reiyoku]

I agree Neodude

[Infin1ty]

I completely agree, I think that the PS3 is amazing, but honestly a lot of people wont be able to find that out for themselves because the price is way to high and it restricts a lot of people from buying it (including myself lol). As for right now I agree that it is between the 360 and the Wii.

10,854,918 - XBOX 360
2,291,134 - PlayStation 3
5,242,685 - Wii

Wii has about half the 360 does, but 360 has been out longer.

Wii in my opinion is BY FAR the best ,quickly followed by X-BOX but I really don't care for sony, Had a PS1 and hated it and now sony acts like there system is gold It really is outrageous for people to pay 600-1000$ on a game system when I could build a comp that could play those games even better than it can.But if they dropped the price It might be worth buying.

the only reason the ps3 is crap is because its too expensive. if it was cheaper then it would be worth every penny, just like the wii. over £400 is simply too high, especially for youngsters who have a crap job or no job at all.

The reason why the Wii is doing so well is because of it's innovation. The only problem is that Nintendo has to keep feeding the consumers that innovation and fun, or they'll end up last like they did with the GameCube. If they don't release a Nintendogs like game (the game that really used everything the DS had), they're going to slowly see receding sales.

As for the PS3, Sony can't risk biding their time. Why? Because third-party developers that once produced Sony exclusive games are now starting to switch to multiplatform in order to keep raking in the profits without a big loss because the PS3 isn't selling as much. That's why I wasn't suprised when Virtua Fighter 5 and Devil May Cry 4 were announced on the PS3 and Xbox 360. I wouldn't be suprised if Konami forced Hideo Kojima to port Metal Gear Solid 4 over to the Xbox 360 either.

Sony needs to wake up and give people what they want. A small price cut would be nice and the inclusion of rumble would be even better, now that they finally kissed and made up with Immersion. Or even BETTER would be the support for force feedback, because there is no way in hell I'm playing Gran Turismo 5 with no force feedback. :eek:

Sony also needs to cut the arrogant shit too. It's getting annoying as hell. First, Phil Harrison calls rumble a "last-gen feature" while wholly promoting the SIXAXIS and it's motion control, then next thing you know, they kiss and make up with Immersion and sign a partnership! :rolleyes: What morons. They also need to learn how to launch their consoles. Jesus...I could rant about that for hours.

So...
lets see here 250$ for the latest generation in innovative gaming ( Wii) , 1000$ for a console for a company that is just sitting there making money off its name and not the console or games it selling

I think the choice is obvious

I agree. I'm a Sony fan, but no more. I have a PS2 and was always playing PS1 at my friends house (parents wouldn't let me have it at the time >_>) and they are great consoles, but the PS3 is so overpriced. I remember my PS2 being $400 or something, not at launch, can't remember when I got it, was the bigger one.

I haven't touched a XBOX or a XBOX 360, but that console looks good and for me I would love to have a Wii60. (Wii and XBOX 360)

[freestyler105]

I'm gonna get a Wii60 eventually...just the 360 for now though.

[kchi55]

Well right now it seems the Wii is reaping the most profits right now since it's a cheaper system and more innovative, granted it doesn't have nearly as many features the PS3 has. The PS3 is still touting alot of features but the 360 is starting to catch up with their upcoming release of the 360 Elite. Sony needs to sort out their online play, which Microsoft has handled very well thus far with Xbox Live. I'm not a very big fan of console games so I really don't have much of a preference, but I think PS3 still holds potential and the Wii hype will soon die down (though there are some new things coming out for it in April with Pokemon Pearl/Diamond) as for 360, I know lots of my friends that are still craving to get their hands on one of these consoles so I think sales we keep strong with the 360. Sony just needs to give the public a reason to accept the hefty price tag and the fact that many people don't appreciate the Blu-Ray aspect doesn't really help them out.

This post really wasn't conclusive, but.. w/e lol.

[freestyler105]

IMO, HD-DVD is going to win over Blu-Ray.

Anyway, the 360 isn't really going to start losing sales, especially with Halo 3 coming. I bought an Xbox just for Halo 2 originally, so people will buy a 360 for Halo 3.

The PS3 has just been released here in the UK, and yes it's too expensive. But I think in about 2 months time the price will have dropped by £50-£100, ('Cos the initial demand has been satisfied)

I'd say it will be more than 2 months before it drops. :p

[Ahyoka]

no doubt the PS3 is the best of all the other systems...but i think since Micro$oft put their console out before nintendo and sony thats why they did so good with the 360, the wii is a good price and i think a really cool concept...but yeah if sony dropped the price i think they would do really well

[Anubis1980]

I saw the ps3 on demo yesterday, was quite impressed by the graphics. But then i saw the price ;) Why so much!! its madness.

[superman22x]

Yeah but the PS3 is so full of glitches. I heard from my friend that he was watching XPLAY and they were comparing tony hawk project 8 on 360 and PS3. Well on PS3 the charactor hit a curb went flying 300 feet or something, but on the 360 they fell down like normal. Physics problem on PS3? And Xplay also said that, altho Sony keeps releasing patches for the PS3 there has not been a patch to get a 360 yet...

[Infin1ty]

My only problem with the Wii is that they are nearly impossibly to find! We get 3-5 a month around here at the most and they are gone within 10 minutes of being shipped in.

[alvino]

Yeah, my sister only happened to get one because her boyfriend's friend works at Best Buy and she was able to reserve one for her once a shipment came in. :D

[Anubis1980]

Loads Of Wii's here ;) want me to ship one out hee hee
