Wii/PS3/360

Holy shit... Im so sorry for the seriously nerdy post but it had to be done, I should be beaten with reeds and forced to eat glass.

Anyway which of the new consoles are you rooting for?

The one with the funny name? The overly expensive one? Or the one that breaks down all the time?

Im gonna take a Wii personaly (sorry) cos its cheap, you can download all the old Nofriendo games, cool controls and it has the new Zelda on it.

What about the rest of you loosers? :mrgreen:

out of the 3 I'll most likely end up getting a Wii considering my bro already has the 360, but if i was to put money of which would "win" It would be the ps3 because lets be honest thats what your average joe gamer wants even if they have to sell their mother to get one. They're going for like $12K on eBay what kind of a spaz pays that for a games console?

I had a go on the ps3 at a game design conference the other week, graphically I was impressed espically condering its only the first gen of ps3 games but that novelty wears off, gameplay doesn't.

Everyone should watch the latest two-part South Park cartoon in which Cartman freezes himself to make the wait for a Nintendo Wii go quicker!

:lol: One of the best things ever! The ending of part 2 is probably the best ending to anything ever.

Has to be the Wii I'm afraid, the PS3 just seems like an utterly overhpyed PS2 with better graphics (but not as good as my PC, so not worth the money).

The 360 possibly just cos it's so cheap in comparrison to the PS3, and it's games look just as good (twelve months head start helps), and does everything the PS3 does, apart from online play, which it does better. Really, other than like MG4, and above average graphics, what does the PS3 have going for it? The only one thing the console appears to do compared to the PS2 is have better graphics. Oh, and play Blu-Ray (just). It's just not worth £400 by any means. Bring on the Wii, £179 for genuinly new gameplay styles!

Have you got some sort of a super computer? The graphics on the PS3 are ahead of nearly all gaming computers at the moment, especially because the graphics are HD unlike PC graphics....

I'll probably get a Wii at first for the novelty factor and because its cheap but I do want a PS3 in the long run...

wii.

Props to nintendo for making a proper games console which focuses on gameplay and innovation rather than graphics and pointles features.

And its way cheaper :P

Yeah man, thats what im all about. Fuck amazing graphics if the games are shit. I have been playing Tetris (greatest game ever made) for the past two weeks and that doesnt rely on graphics ar a story line or killing or AI or whatever its just really good fun to play.

I watched a trailer on Youtube for the Ninetendo Wii, and all the games looked like really childish movement-based games like tennis, bowling, and fucking running! Surely there are better games than that shit.

Also, £179 or whatever is not a small amount of money for me! I hardly play any games anyway, and if I had that sort of money I would spend it all on music!

PS3 but way fucking pricey, second to that id say Xbox 360 then Wii. The Wiis idea is cool but just seems a bit unusual.

I'm not buying any of them, because I won't finish my Uni course.


I really want to play 'Dead Rising' though :(

Wii, probably.
It's cheap, whey. It'll probably have Poke-fuckin-mon, and Zelda is one of the best games ever.
But then again, Playstation will probably get Gran Turismo and various Wrestling games of higher quality than other consoles..

The decisions... I'll get whatever Boovidge doesn't, probably.

I said probably too many times.
