DEBATE: PS3? Xbox360? Which is the greatest console of all time?"PS3kid" versus "360gearsFTW" in a clash of the titans!Our debaters take the stage. 360: Just flew in this afternoon, on a wireless aeroplane. PS3: As did I this morning, yet I really felt the tilt from my landing. As did you, 360gearsFTW? Hehe. 360gearsFTW makes a small groaning sound and consistently glares at his opponent. His shirt simply reads "Success is Key". The debate is yet to begin, and already the room is heating up. PS3kid rubs his well-shaved chin. He has showered this day. He is ready, but you can feel that he is not as ready as he may seem. 360gearsFTW is still locked in his stare. PS3kid shows moments of un-settlement in his posture.The lights dim. The man asking the questions, a man who holds the repute of "Gaming equilibrium king", enters the room. He sits down and views the debaters. GEK: Where is the Wii debater? The crowd erupts into a fit of laughter at this obvious joke. 360gearsFTW cannot help but giggle at it, while PS3kid forces out a strenuous laugh that sounds more like a cry. PS3kid: Hilarious as always, Gaming equi--- GEK: Let us begin shall we? PS3kid: Sure thang. For the first time the room is silent. In the distance, outside of the walls, the faint sounds of a protest can be heard. Voices of anger, but they are too far away to be heard. GEK: My first question is directed at you, 360gearsFTW. 360: Locked and loaded. GEK: Many people argue about the graphical capabilities of both the Playstation 3 and Xbox 360. Given that the PS3 is technically more able than the Xbox360, wha-- 360: That's debatable. PS3: I rebut! GEK: Please, please, let me finish the question. Given that the PS3 is technically more able than the Xbox360, what do you have to say for graphics in games for the future, compared to those on the PS3? 360: I've said it once and I'll say it again. Gears baby. Gears of War demonstrates the fallacy behind the idea that more power equals better graphics. You see, when you place a chainsaw through an aliens chest in that game, you don't just see the blood. You live it. From this we can hypothesize that in the future we will no longer have to fantasize about games where we can watch other people eat cheeseburgers, but instead we will reach out and think that we're eating them. It is apparent that most people at this point notice that 360gearsFTW is somewhat of a portly man. A few whispers in the crowd can be heard, he is not swayed however. 360: You will not find this sense of realism from the Playstation 3, but instead you will find false promises and flops all around. We're talking cutting edge technology with the PS3, but with the Xbox360 we're talking reaching out and eating a goddamn cheeseburger. And it's all thanks to the graphical realism that the Xbox360 will achieve in the next few years, while the PS3 will make no use of its power. GEARS FOR THE WIN!! GEK: I uh, wow, okay. And your rebuttal, PS3kid? PS3: Power. Equals. Power. Genghis Khan, Hitler and Captain Hook all knew this. They were all men in positions of power at some time or another, but where will you find them now? DEAD. That's right. D-F-R-H. DEAD. And why, you may ask? Why are they among the buried? BECAUSE THE PLAYSTATION 3 IS IN CONTROL OF THE POWER NOW, THAT'S WHY. PS3kid is loudly shouting by this point. He is starting to move about his podium and randomly pointing about the room. PS3: THE PLAYSTATION 3 WILL CREATE BETTER GRAPHICS THAN THE WORLD. IT WILL BOAST BEAUTIFUL ENVIRONMENTS THAT ARE ALL DUE TO IT'S POWERFUL INTERNAL FUNCTIONS THAT THE PUNY XBOX360 WILL NEVER MATCH. YOU HAD BETTER PLACE YOUR COPY OF "GEARS OF WAR" AWAY FROM A PS3, BECAUSE IT WOULD PROBABLY FEED UPON IT TO INCREASE ITS POWER. THE PLAYSTATION 3 IS NOT JUST A CONSOLE, IT IS A POWERFUL MACHINE THAT WILL DECIDE THE FATE OF GAMING FOREVER, AND HUMANITY TOO, BUT THAT ISN'T IMPORTANT. THANK YOU. Complete silence. Only the outside protest can be heard. 360gearsFTW is no longer glaring; he is surprised...and lacking nourishment. GEK: We'll take a short lunch break, and we'll be right back. The debate has begun strongly and both sides sound so convincing! Who has the upper hand? Who will win? And just what is 360gearsFTW going to order for lunch? WILL WE EVER KNOW? STAY TUNED?!?!? NOTE: Parts 2, 3, 4 and a super bonus spinoff are further down in this thread.
Ye godz! A thread in System Wars that actually has some thought behind it and blends with humor. We can't let this happen. Please someone post another list of unreleased games as proof of superiority of a game system or just some good old trolling.
DEBATE Part 2: WAR OF GEARSThe lunch break has ended and most people have returned to the room. PS3kid is staring downward and trying to memorize something. 360GearstFTW is angrily licking his fingers. He has not had his fill in the time limit granted. GEK returns and the debate resumes. GEK: I will direct my next question to you, PS3kid. When it comes to upcoming titles, how does the PS3 lineup top that of the 360? PS3: Hahaha!! Read the PS3 lineup and weep Microsoft: HALO 3, HALO WARS, BANJO-KAZOOIE 3, TOO HUMAN, LOST PLANE--oh crap, I'm reading from the wrong list!! PS3kid tries to adjust himself...he hastily grabs another sheet of paper. PS3: Ahem...METAL GEAR SOLID 4. A long pause. GEK: Yes... PS3: Metal Gear Solid 4. The Xbox360 can release any game it wants. It could release a thousand games and it would still not be able to top the superiority of such a powerful game. 360: You can't be seri-- PS3: Aha! Did you not forget what I stated before? POWER EQUALS POWER. METAL GEAR SOLID 4 WILL DIMINISH ANYTHING THAT THE XBOX360 HAS TO THROW AT IT. IT WILL KILL. IT WILL NOT STOP KILLING UNTIL THE 360 IS DEAD. GEK: Why is that? PS3: Well, you see, you underestimate the Playstation 3 and the way that games are played on it. You see, with a PS3 you can tilt the control and the game will react to it. This is a revolution that the Xbox360 developers can only dream of. Let me repeat what I just said. YOU CAN TILT THE CONTROL AND THE GAME WILL REACT TO IT. There is a god, it's name is Sony. 360: We could do way better things than that! PS3: Hahaha, no, we are the one's who are creating all of this innovation. We will diminish the competitors with such incredible new ideas. The implementation of tilt in Metal Gear Solid 4 will result in the demise of the Xbox360, nay, Microsoft, forever!! 360: I'll say it again, we could do way better things than that if we tried. PS3: Like what? Controllers that allow you too swing the control like a sword, or allow you to fish as if you were really reeling in a fish? Haha, yeah, okay. Perhaps in some alternate universe where up is down and left is right, you fool!! Tilt is as close to virtual realism as ever, and the PS3 delivers it to us in a neat package for a nominal fee! The fee aids its power. 360: It is how a game is developed, and what gameplay it actually delivers that decides how good it is...and how good the graphics are. PS3: Naive!! GEK: Okay, that's time. I will direct my next question to you, 360gearsFTW. When it comes to playing online, how is the Xbox360 superior? 360: Gears baby. Gears is a great example of just how capable XboxLIVE really is. You have not felt the beauty of life until you have ripped apart the flesh of another warrior...online with up to eight other people. XboxLIVE is the most interactive way of playing games ever. Gone are the days where we would have to sit there with four friends while our wired controllers constricted us. We can now play games with each other while one of us is sitting at home and the other is dancing among the Colosseum steps in Rome. You no longer need to make the effort of finding friends, either. I have discarded my relationships with all of my friends because I need bigger and better challenges, and I have found them on XboxLIVE. GEARS FOR THE WIN!!! A loud bang is heard from outside, it is the protestors. They've done something, it is not apparent what that is. GEK: And your rebuttal, PS3kid? PS3: POWER. EQUALS. POWER. GEK: Oh God... PS3: THE PLAYSTATION 3 WILL NOT LET YOU CHOOSE TO PLAY GAMES ONLINE. IT IS SO POWERFUL THAT IT WILL FORCE YOU TO PLAY THEM UNTIL IT IS SATISFIED. I SWEAR TO GOD IT WILL KILL YOUR FAMILY IF YOU DON'T DO WHAT IT SAYS. I SWEAR IT. GEK: Okay, next question: Given-- SMASH!! The doors to the debate room fly open as angry protestors pour into the room. It is now completely apparent as to who they are. PROTESTORS: Wii want a say!! Wii want a say!! Wii want a say!! From them descends a young man. It's...WiiLink500. WiiLink500: We demand that you allow us to have our say in this debate. The Wii is a console and it should be a part of this thing!! Everyone in the crowd erupts into laughter and points at the Wii protestors. 360gearsFTW is laughing and PS3kid is shouting something about power. Even GEK cannot help but laugh, and he takes advantage of the situation. GEK: Okay, okay...haha...wow...okay. We'll allow you to join this debate for a little comic relief...HAHA, THE WII SHOULD BE A PAR--AHAHAHAHA!!!! Everyone continues to laugh. WiiLink500 is handed a podium and he joins the other two debaters. He is already thrown off by the crowd. The protestors take some seats and start playing with DS's. The laughter slowly dies down. GEK: Okay, we'll have a short break while I get myself together. 360: GEARS FOR THE WIN!! Well at this point it could be just about anyone who wins this incredible debate. Now that the Wii has been thrown into the mix anything can happen!! Stay tuned for the all-guns-blazing final chapter!!
[QUOTE="GabeBlack"]That was freaking awesome!!! do it again! GabeBlack
Damn guess no one took the time to read it..it was really funny This post is great. One of my favourite threads next to the Crane Operator game thread. Great line... Power. Equals. Power. Genghis Khan, Hitler and Captain Hook all knew this. Did you write this yourself?
ha this is so funny i fell outta my chair when ps3 was talking about tilt being the closest reality oh and metal gear solid 4.... yes? metal gear solid 4............. You should definately make a website with these you could probably even make fan shirts if it got popular enough..... saying" Gears baby" or "Wii wan a say!" oh and " Power.Equals. Power".
Can't wait for the finale. Is 360 going to win with its GEARS FOR THE WIN!!! slogan Does POWER really EQUAL POWER for the ps3. Is the Wii going to get any fan support.

[QUOTE="Thrice_III"]POWER EQUALS POWER... there is no way PS3 loses with that.dimar19
You are talking about teh Cell or teh 4D graphics? PS3 has a lot of weak points, massive damage on its way !
Come on... the PS3 debater swears the PS3 will kill your family if you don't satisfy it and the fee you pay for it feeds its power. How can it lose and if it does lose, it WILL kill your family.

 I don't have a family so I'm safe.
 And I believe I can handle at least 5 cows at once (you know, Xbox famous of it's shooters, we have a good training)
One of my fav parts so far: "The protestors take some seats and start playing with DS's." LOL, they're protesting so much about getting let into the debate, and when they actually do, they just start playing on their DS's. :lol:
well he posted the first one at 10 am and the second one at 10 pm. thats a whopping twelve hours in between each one. it might be a while before we see the conclusion:cry:
DEBATE part 3: Second last clash of brains and brawn!GEK is going through some files and PS3kid is rapidly chewing his fingernails. 360gearsFTW turns his dangerous glare towards WiiLink500. 360: You don't know what you're getting yourself into. Wii: You have some chocolate sauce on your upper lip. 360: I am aware of this. I am going to savour it's majestical taste once I see the both of you in defeat, and the 360 as king. PS3kid is talking to himself, looking down upon his notes with trembling hands. PS3: Okay...uh...I've covered power, almost...there is also...um... GEK: We will now resume our debate. The lights dim for the last time. There are protests from the Wii fans on their DS's. PROTESTOR: Oh c'mon, I can't see anything now! The protests are ignored and the Wii fans put away their handhelds. GEK: Okay, I will ask this next question to you, WiiLink500. Nintendo has stated that graphics are of little importance and have therefore made gameplay their primary focus. Explain why gameplay is more important than graphics, and how the Wii delivers better gameplay than the other systems. Wii: Okay. Ask yourselves this. When you buy a game, what is it about that game that you want? PS3: Pow-- Wii: Gameplay, that's what I thought. The Xbox360 and PS3 may boast game worlds that are of indescribable beauty, but can you venture through those worlds? Can you drink from their rivers or kiss their inhabitants? Pfff, perhaps, but only by pushing a measly button! The Nintendo Wii throws you right into the games world. And while it may not hold the textual and graphical power of the other two systems, it instead allows you to interact with the world in ways never imagined before. You want to kiss a girl in-game? Then you can really feel like you're kissing her by gently rubbing your lips against the Wiimote in a moment of passion. Where is the passion in pressing a pathetic little button? Nowhere!! Nintendo is fueling all of our desires with the blessed Wiimote that can be used in many desirable ways. Be it pressed, pulled, tilted, licked-- PS3: Tilted? Wii: Yes. PS3: Hahaha!! And there you are caught out, my friend! The Playstation 3 has all of your tilting needs! It is the king of tilt! Wii: And what makes the tilt of the PS3 better than that of the Wii? PS3: THE POWAAAH!!! Wii: Ahem, okay...let me continue. An example of the capabilities of the Wii can be seen in "The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess". 360: More like "The Flop of Flop: Flop Flop." PS3: Yeah, nobody cares about that 8.8 floppy piece of crap. Wii: Who are you to talk, with your 8.6 trailing behind this "piece of crap". PS3: YOU UNDERESTIMATE THE POWER!!! Wii: And besides, Zelda is killing the competition on gamerankings, a website that gathers all reviews from different sources and gives an average score to a game. 96% baby. Look at these examples: "This game is simply amazing" --lakehylia.com "Twilight Princess redefines how games should be played" --zeldaworld.com "An apple inspired Newton, perfection inspired Twilight Princess." --zeldaislord.com "You can really kiss them!! It feels so realistic!!" --gamespot.com/zeldatp/playerreviews/wiilink500 360: Who cares about what a bunch of KIDDIES have to say about their KIDDY console? Wii: I'm 23 years old!! 360: Then grow the hell up and stop playing with toys!! Wii: Oh, I get it, you're going to start with this whole "Nintendo is directed towards children" thing, huh? Let me explain something to you, "dude". The Nintendo Wii is a family system that has already proved to get the whole family involved. Just last week I was sitting back fishing in Zelda with my grandpa. We just sat back and cracked a six-pack of beer while we reeled in some bass for supper. My only regret is that I forgot to alert him that you couldn't actually eat the bass. I need a new TV now...but that's besides the point. FAMILY. INNOVATIVE. STUFF!!! It's all really good and you know it!! GEK: Okay, moving on now... To be continued...
I must say, this is pretty halarious. I honestly couldn't care less who wins because it's just darn funny to read. I'd actually rather the debates to go on for a long time . . .
Why are the 360 and PS3 guys stupid? sure they make alot more ridiculous threads but.....some are smart....right?! anyway friggen hilarious.. WELL DONE 360 and wii should make love in australia AUSWII60
