THE OFFICIAL PS3 vs. XBOX360 vs. Wii thread

lol yeh in England its a religion no joke, if football was banned Saturday would be taken off the calender. There were some Americans murdered in London and MAnchester for going to the game and english fans over hearing them call it soccer, so just a lil tip if you come over, try to avoid the word "soccer" anywhere in the country

*GASP* Someone referred to a sport by another name! Someone call the police! Really, it's like killing someone because they said 'pop' instead of 'soda'. Hmm...Does this mean I should start saying 'piebol' instead of 'futbol' when speaking Spanish? Ok enough off-topic randomness, back to the console debate.

PS3 seems like it's not doing too great right now. Not only did Sony eff up the shipment numbers again, they now have the problem of the PS3 not being fully backwards compatible like they stated. I remember when Sony promised a worldwide release of the PS3...

If that is true then those fellows are truely sick and need to be placed behind bars for the rest of their lives.

Regardless , lets not get off topic too much.

I bought zelda with my wii, and then rented madden 07 and tony hawk downhill.

The tony hawk game took a bit to get used to, and I am still toying with it. Madden on the Wii, IMO, is way better than on the xbox 360. Mainly, because football games are becoming too complicated. Once you get passing and juking down with the wiimote and the nunchuck is actually is simple and great game play. You don't have to memorize to press so many buttons, with the wii is all one button, plus one motion gesture.

I think I am going to buy madden next paycheck. Tony hawk may end up just being a renter.

Zelda is amazing!

So madden is really good? Its gotten good reviews, just wasn't sure if I wanted to pick it up.

Its way fun, just takes a bit to get used to. I'd rent it first to see if you like it. I just rented it the other day, and I think I am going to buy it next pay check.

I can't wait for tiger woods to come out after playing around with wii sports golf game. Wii sports is like a demo to get you used to the system, so once a real developer comes in and hones in on one game it should be tons better.

Ya I'm excited about Tiger Woods, but we have to wait until march

May have to get fight night too after playing the wii sports boxing, that game could get intense.

I'm somewhat of a Nintendo fanboy, so I side with them on practically anything. I got the Wii and I must say it lives up to every single one of my expectations...well...actually the graphics are Gamecube-par for the most part, but who cares about graphics?

It's all about the games, and Nintendo's lineup seems to be working out fine.

The graphics will be gamecube like at first but the Wii is actually fairly more powerful then the gamecube. It is certainly capable of much better graphics.

true. My friend pointed that out, actually, today. I'm just saying this about the ones out now. Also, I've only played Wii Sports and seen videos of the other ones, and SSBB's trailers definitely are something a step above GCN, so this is only holding true for, maybe, a month

Ya right now its not so much better, but once again that is all up to developers

With the xbox 360 it seems that the first gen versions where pretty bad off. My brother in-law have had nothing but trouble with his. Has sent it back 3 times to have repaired now. I just don't know why they don't give him a newer model. When I do eventually get my 360, I'll definitely get the extended warranty (and I never buy the extended warranty).

I belive most of the 360 that were sent back to MS is those over heated. My 360 is perfectly fine right now(I got 3 red light before ) after lol god 2 week of work to get my water cooling system install into this box . xbox is more like trouble box :O and I heard MS is now working on the xbox 720 .

Hmm, I haven't seen that and I am pretty up on my new technology. I hope they dont name it Xbox 720.

Was it hard to install the water cooling?

It ain't really hard but just takes time to figure out stuff. while I have work to do on week days, I can only work on it at the weeken. Thats probably why took me two weeks to completely installed the crap into 360.

Games exclusive to PS3 and Wii will be their only selling point, as opposed to multi-platform games; they are hard to convert to wii playability and ps3 hd. Many gaming manufacturers are putting the pressure for a ps3 pricecut. Its not like theyr losing 300$ per system...oh wait, they ARE... In this sense, PC gaming may die out somewhat unless the use of the internet is stressed, and many new console games will be exclusive to systems, with a few primary design PS3 games with backed down xbox360 graphics

 

[DCIScouts]

Hmm..., that looks like nothing but heresay and the rep for MS saying, yes we are still doing R&D. So, no big shockers... They have about as much of an idea of what it will look like as any of us do at this point, I would say.

nintendo wii or xbox 360

Im thinking of buying a new games console and im abit unsure which to get
ive decided on either the Nintendo wii and the xbox 360 which one is better and which should i buy?

 

[jjsevdt]

Comparing those two you have to consider what you expect out of the games. Do you want something that's better graphically or some thing fun and interactive.

The 360 is more of a conventional console game but the Wii features interactive game play which makes you more of a part of the game.

Hi jeorge . welcome to Computer Forum.

I'm not sure if you noticed the "THE OFFICIAL PS3 vs. XBOX360 vs. Wii thread" but you will find allot of peoples opinions there.

Now as far as those 2 systems go... It really depends on what you are looking for. The xbox 360 is more of a next gen console in terms of graphics and horsepower. The Wii is more "next gen" in terms of "innovation". I personally would love to own both. I own neither at the moment but my first purchase will be the Wii. I look forward to playing with the Wii-mote and Zelda is a large title not to be missed .

In the long run... It really depends on your tastes and interest. I feel the Wii will become a second console in most households. It is just a matter of what you would like to buy first .
