[QUOTE="MetalContra"] I will start out by saying that I am a PC gamer at heart, and my console gaming is casual by comparison. However, I have been consoling it up ever since the days of NES and Super Mario Bros.
Last generation the only console I owned was the Gamecube, which rocked with games like Tony Hawk 3, Metroid Prime, and Tiger Woods Golf. Also I have owned every nintendo console ever, so naturally I wanted a Wii, so I have been waiting for Super Paper Mario to come out to see if it blew away the reviews. The reviews were good, but not awesome, much like Twilight Princes.
My Favorite Game of last gen was Halo 2, which I played countless hours of on my freinds xbox. So I also wanted a 360 to play halo 3.
So I wanted a 360 and a Wii, but I ended up buying a PS3. Here is why; My favorite games these days for consoles are NCAA Football and NHL games, so I want to be able to play these games with hyper realistic graphics and sound. This rules out the Wii, because it is the weekest of the 3 in th graphics department with a max rez. of 480p. So why did I choose PS3 over 360 if PS3 doesnt have Halo 3? Well 1 game does not a console make, and I think PS3s exclusive content will eventually win out, with AAA games like MGS4, Warhawk, Lair, Heavenly Sword, AND GOD OF WAR 3 (most likely) !!!! + all the great multi plat games like Assasins Creed, and Orange Box.
As far as being worried about the PS3 being a failer?! HAHA, I think not. Look at how many people are still buying the PS2, six+ years after it is out. 280,000 in the month of March!!! More than any other non-portable console. Think about how many people will buy a PS3 3, 4, and 5 years from now, when the price is dropping into the 400 - 300 dollar range.
One day I may be forced to buy a Wii to play Paper Mario Galaxy etc. and I may have to borrow my brothers 360 to play Halo 3, but for now I am happy with my decision.
I give the PS3 a 9/10. Motorstorm and RFOM are a blast solo and online. The PS3 loses points right now for lack of software, but that will change. It gains points for being so sexy looking, all black and silver and shiny, and I love the controller.

While I enjoy the more thought out posts and do appreciate your effort in actually using grammar, I mustargue against some of your fallacious points.
The "one game for the 360" argument is retarded and ignorant. The 360 enjoys a diverse library of exclusives and multiplatform games and to say otherwise is a lame attempt at bashing the console. It was a tired argument in the past and it still is. Get over it. It can also be directed at the PS3 whose library of exclusives has been shrinking steadily. And it's too early to make brash assumptions about games that haven't come out yet or may come out somewhere in the future.
"PS2 did well so obviously the PS3 will do well". How does this argument work? If anything, the PS2 is stealing the thunder away from the PS3. It's a bad sign when the an older product is beating out a newer product meant to replace it. Let's not forget that they're two different products entirely and that the PS2 has more things going for it like a cheaper price and a much better library that is diverse.
And assuming that it will do better in the future does nothing for the present, at least for the common gamer. There really isn't much incentive to support something that may or may not be great some time down the road when you can have quality that is being provided now at a better price. PS2, the Wii, the 360, and so on.
But it's your choice and I really can't do anything about it. Nor should I because it'd be frivalous. I can, however, encourage you to make better arguments (assuming this isn't a joke or sarcasm) than this to support your claims. I could go on with more points but I think you get the point.
where did you find that word frivalous ? Oo first time i heard of it lol. Â
