The Next Generation Video Game Console Thread

Smile Guy · 08-28-2006, 01:56 PM

Just thought I'd ask all the folks what video game consoles they're planning on getting next-generation!!!

Glutgod · 08-28-2006, 07:22 PM

Ya know the Xbox 360s will fly off the shelves again before Halo 3 comes out and I'm gettin' one of em'.

depp · 08-28-2006, 09:57 PM

I'm a Wii type of guy. I love my DS and I think Nintendo is starting to do some really cool things. I'm not a serious gamer though. Only play a couple games a year.

Yea a WII Sounds cool but I heard that the controller flew off the people's hands and into the T.V.

ye glutgod you are right also the Wii controler dosnt work very well near christmas lights... so imagen all those ppl that got it for christmas and set it up near their tree :P... lol ooo the possiblities.

depp=noob=lol · 03-22-2007, 03:13 PM

the christmas light thing was a HOAX and nintendo recalled all old wiimote cord and replaced them.

at Cheesy dude

Sony is making at the moment 100 euro PROFIT at every ps3 sold, the price of blueray decreased and because of the backwardcompatibality chip that isnt included in the PS3 (will be software in europe, not hardware)

and the wii is defitinaly going to sell more then the ps3, because the ps3 and xbox360 are eachother concurents, the wii isnt a direct concurent, the price is lower (non-hardcore-gamers wont buy a thing of 600 euro, they just think that that is far to expensive, they DONT know the specs and 250 is a lot less) and the wii is inovative, like the DS (everybody thought that psp would sell better) I think the final standings will be:

1) Nintendo Wii
2) Playstation 3 (because this console will actually sell more consoles then the GBA in Japan)
3) XBOX 360 (a ORIGINAL GBA sells more then this console in japan. If you completly miss 1 continent (out of the 3 importants (europe japan united states) then you wont be the leader)

For me it was tough I mean all the systems are so awesome in their own way. I mean The 360's offers me Halo 3 and I am a hardcore Halo fanatic by the way so that is important to me. The Wii has the ability to play all the old games from NES and Super NES and the all mighty N64, which in my opinion are some of the greatest system ever created! Then there is the all powerful PS3! The lights of heaven shine-down on it's awesome Blue Ray technology!!! And the games on the PS3 are also some really good games such as Gundam World which hopefully will redeem the name Gundam after the horrible games that we have seen in the past. The final choice is the PC and though you see the Xbox 360, Wii, and the PS3, we cannot ignore the fact that the PC offers us some great benefits that the system do not, such as The easiest control to use in any RTS(this is only if you are an RTS lover) and FREE internet gameplay and with the right OS and the new Dell XPS you can do some serious gaming in such games as Rise of Nations 2, which is soon to be released! Go Big Huge Games!!!! So the choice is yours, either way your are getting something good! This year is the year of the gaming systems.
