If you had to go out now and buy your first and only current generation console

Forget which one had a better 2007 or 2008.Forget the fact that 360 launch units were total fail when it comes to hardware(They have improved now),forget that at one time psn used to be teh suxoorz.Forget that wii had a f'ed up 2009.Forget everything.Just conecntrate on right now.Now psn has awesome capabilities and is free,live is still considered the best,ps3 and wii library is shaping up to be awesome in 2009,on the other hand another halo treat is coming soon.So if today you went out and bought your first console what would it be.Lets just forget the price for a while ok.So there lets play :D..

For me its ps3.1 year ago I wouldnt have imagined I would say that.But now that awesomesauce games like MGS4 and LBP are out.KZ2 is getting AAA all across the board.And games are finally looking pretty much the same on ps3(except for a rare few like fallout 3),ps3 just seems to be the better option.I always liked the thing it was just the lack of games which made me shun it,and the controller but I guess every system has its flaws

Edit:NO POLL every time there is a poll the cows flood it completely

Edit:Lets make this more intresting.Lets just say you can only buy 1 for the entire gen

Stuck between PS3 and the 360. 360 has a lot of great games, but its that RROD problem which really freaks me out... My 360 is like a dream machine strapped with a time bomb. PS3 also has some awesome games. Game wise they're pretty neck-and-neck.

Well... anyway, I like stability more so I'd say PS3. (the 360 being my second preference)

Great consoles.

[QUOTE="killerfist"]That's a good question. I'd probably go for the cheaper 360. -hells-

if price is not problem than (as you stated) than all 3_rpg_FAN

But seriously DOA??.With THAT controller??-hells-

Ah, sorry my fail. I'd still go for the 360 I guess. Halo 3, Ninja Gaiden, DOA, Forza and the controller would be my top reasons. killerfist

Ninja Gaiden Sigma is on the PS3.

I have owned all 3, I sold my Wii because it was just collecting dust and I currently play my 360 more than my PS3. So if I could only have one I guess it would have to be the 360.

I would had bought a ps3. The 360 have disapointed me all through this generation:

• Gears was cool i guess, but not a killer app.
• Halo 3 is noobified, casulized, noob friendly version of Halo: CE (the halo series is no longer a killer app in my eye. i would not be buying the next xbox for halo).
• Fable 2 was trash and over hype by that liar and terrible designer peter molysomething.
• Assassin creed was boring but for some reason i kind of like it. but was still disappointing.
• Mass Effect had a very good story but clunky terrible combat, it had big but EMPTY boring world.
• Fallout 3 was complete utter trash.
• I like gta 4 a lot. the multi was poop though.
• xbox live is overated. all the bull crap features that i read about 360 live either work like poop or dont work at all. still no dedicated servers. still laggy games. matchmaking taking over custom games/ a true optimatch. xbox live before halo 2 > xbox live now.
• Lost odd was okay.
• I subscribe to netflix. all the movies on netflix that you can watch instantly sucks.

Could have had a vote on this.

I'd choose a 360 premium, which I got for Xmas incidently.

If it was the first console I was getting it's a good package at a great price and has some very very good games at very low prices second hand. They would keep me busy for months alone and it still has great titles coming out on it.

As it is I got the Wii at launch first then the 360.

I would buy the 360 again.

Just can't go without NG2

360 for halo wars alone.anshul89

[QUOTE="anshul89"]360 for halo wars alone.-hells-

hmm .. i currently own a ps3 and have owned a 360 that rrod'd

Wii is out of the question despite how fun people claim it is i cant play something that looks like boxes on my tv

so between the 360 and ps3 id probably say 360 but im too cheap to pay for online so ps3

Wii. Zelda games are the only 100% must-play console titles for me.Cherokee_Jack

I got the 360 december 05 and im IMO its still the best system by far. These days with the $199 price there wouldnt be a contest!

I don't know. This is a hard choice for me. My only complaint with the PS3 is that it doesn't really feel like a Playstation console. For me, as of right now the biggest benefit of owning the Playstation 3 is the PSP connectivity, and the PSOne titles available over the Playstation Network. Don't get me wrong, I would definitely pick up Resistance 2, LBP, and MGS4. But because I wish too much with the Playstation it currently doesn't grab my attention fully.

I do have a Xbox 360 right now. My most played games are actually multi-platform(Skate, Oblivion, Fallout 3, and NHL). I would have to say that I can understand why people love Gears of War and Halo. I enjoy them both, but I am not into the attitudes on Xbox Live versus what you get in a online game of EA Skate. Therefore I don't really take advantage of the extended gameplayed offered. I guess it's people's competitive nature(or just being *****). At the sametime Xbox Live is a reason why I purchased a Xbox 360 in the first place. I like the large variety of content and the system supporting the community. And yes; I do use the video and game marketplace.

I'm going to admit that I've never really been a fan of Nintendo. When it came to playing even games like Metroid Prime 3, I lost interest quickly(I'm not saying it's a bad game though). I could have possibly been burned out on videogames entirely when I first purchased my Wii, I guess I can see why it was easier for me to lose interest. Not to mention that the 3rd party support hasn't been big. But I look at 2009 and I am REALLY excited for the Wii. Not to mention the announcement of Dragon Quest X made me bubble.

With all that said if Sony(and it's prominent 3rd party support) was more on schedule I would have already purchased a PS3. I honestly thought the idea was to get Final Fantasy XIII, Gran Turismo, Tekken, AND Metal Gear Solid 4 available in 2008 with new franchises like LittleBigPlanet. And if the majority of the games sill remained exclusive it wouldn't give gamers time to think about the oppuritunity of playing them on the Xbox 360. If I didn't have a Wii today, I would still choose it over the PS3 simply because I think the 2009 line up is more unique and it has variety. I do think Fragile, Little King Story, MadWorld, The Conduit, Cursed Mountain, and some others games will add the much needed color that was missing from the Wii in terms of 3rd party support.

Still, I love playing NHL 09 and Skate 2 on the Xbox 360 simply because it's easier to keep in touch and play with friends on Live. Speaking of getting time to think about the Xbox 360 versus the PS3; I can now play Final Fantasy XIII on Microsoft's console which will be released alongside of the PS3 version in North America. I'm definitely going with the Xbox 360 on this one.
