Now i myself own a 360 and like it. I think it is the Best Combination of Grahics and gamplay on a console. The Wii on the other hand is lacking on the Graphics but makes up for immersing you in the gamplay with the motion-sensor controls. Then we come to the PS3 and boy i hate this part. Seeing as sony thinks the majority of people would rather look at a pretty menu or true 1080p graphics they make the biggest leak in money ever.They think hey lets make a System that costs the most and will have the worst launch and probably worst games.

 

Now according to sales

The 360 is leading it (no suprise its had a year headstart)

Second comes the Wii (Proving that most people want a good game over a pretty one)

Then Third Comes the PS3 (Proving Sonys theorey didnt work why? ZOMG!!! YOU NEED GAMES TO SELL A CONSOLE!!)

 

Ok so lets say that All Systems just launched today.. You knew nothing about the Sales before just about the first Paragraph of info. Now what would you pick? 360? Wii? PS3?

And also what would you say is better in a game Grahpics? or Gamplay?

Hmmmmm? gameplay, or graphics. That is really hard to answer man. I mean I like graphics, I wouldnt mind playing a game that had great looking graphics. But at the same time I want to be able to have some nice gameplay. I know the Wii is selling because is something new, and to lots of people and it seems easy. I bet even adults are playing Wii. So I really dont know, I think gameplay would beat graphics. The graphics attrack the player, but the gameplay will do the rest.

Now about "if the 3 systems were out at the same time, who do I think would win". Here, It probably would be 360, Wii, and then ps3. In Japan, Wii, Sony, 360 .... (IF the 3 systems came out @ the same time).

If I knew nothing about them. Because Sony has had lots of expirience I would buy the PS3. But, Since I do know alot about all of them, I would (and will be) buying an Xbox 360

I think the only time that graphics override gameplay is when the purpose of the game is to showcase the graphical powwer of the system specifically or the game has a specific art direction which is the focus of the game.

The whole gameplay vs. graphics is the stupidest thing people say. It's not like there's magically some trade off to how good a game looks and how well it plays. I mean most all Wii games have no gameplay depth and are way too simplified..... which by my standards means it has crappy gameplay in addition to poor visuals. Most big budget games have fantastic gameplay. Only exceptions are games like Doom3 where visuals took priority. I don't know where this crap came from but it makes no sense and is completely arbitrary.

I have recently purchased Morrowind and Buldurs gate 2, it's really not hard to overlook the graphics and appreciate and enjoy the games for what they are.

How about graphics and gameplay? Why should one be compromised over the other?
