Lame excuse people use to bash next gen consoles

lets face it, everyone uses a lame excuse to bash another console just to make themselves feel happy about their purchase.

here are some of the lame excuse people use, feel free to add. I will start of with the PS3 because its the most bashed console even though it rocks !

PS3

#1 it has no games

seriously when I hear this excuse I just pity the guy that says it, I mean what does he think MotorStorm, RFOM, VF5, Ridge Racer, Oblivion etc etc are, Lemons !

#2 PS3 has lost the console war

I don't know why people say this, I mean its perplexing ! the console war has just begun and you are already counting PS3 out !

#3 Xbox live is better then PSN

Well duh, its been out for longer and has more content, PSN will get more content as time progresses and it would prove to be a formiddable oponent.

#4 PS3 is selling poorly

Last time I checked a console priced at $600/£425 selling 3 and a half million in five months is astonishing and once more big hitters (games) come out it will sell better.

Wii

#1 Wii is for Kids

sure the core market for the Wii is youngsters but assuming that all Wii games are kiddy is just plain foolish

#2 Wii is not innovative

Yeah you play the game exactly how you would with the PS3 & 360, right ?. Face it guys the Wii is innnovative, thats why its selling like crazy. also the price.

#3 Wii wont have games that will trump PS3 & 360

I assume people say this because they are graphics crazy, the last time I checked the main selling point of a game is game-play. Wii will most definitely have games in the near future which will be just as good as the later on PS3 & 360 games regardless of graphics.

360

#1 360 only has shooters

shooters maybe the most enjoyed genre for the 360 but its silly to presume that 360 hasn't got games in other genre's. games like oblivion, N3, Dead rising.

----

feel free to add :D

p.s. This does not mean I have gone nuetral towards all consoles, I will still bash the 360 and sometimes the Wii :wink: you know considering this is system wars.

Xbox 360

#2

4/5 360`s blow up from heat exhaustion! 

Wii #3

Purely debateable and its not even about better graphics. PS3 and 360 can produce bigger, better, more realised gaming worlds and experiences through more powerful tools in developers hands.

the wii isnt even a next-gen console

Yet it's still selling like crazy, leaving the PS3 behind, and will probably soon catch the 360. Pretty impressive for a new 'last-gen' system, eh? :P

#1. They say it becuase they never played the PS3.

#2. They say it because they fear it.

#3. They say it to brag about any advantage point 360 has

#4. They say it because the Sony is number 1 and it's standard of selling well is far off than what it's doing now.

#1. Teenagers say it to act like they're grown.

#2. They think Innovation is something that comes in a Cracker Jack box.

#3. I say this because the graphics are inferior to the PS3 and 360, but doen't mean it's not fun. 

#1. "shooters only"? no, but "shooter console" yes. They have different types of games, but the main point of the 360 is FPS, TPS games that appeal to that crowd. 

You need to use a better example than N3! :lol:ironwarrior2

lol, agreed. The list should be- Oblivion, Dead Rising, Guitar Hero II, and Blue Dragon.

Yeah, seems like people like cheap, last gen systems better, which is why PS2 is still #1

And Nsync outsold Jimmi Hendrix, Led Zepplin, Nirvana, and many other bands.   Titanic outsold Reservoir Dogs, Pulp Fiction, The Matrix, Lord of the Rings, etc.

Using sales to determining anything's value is silly.

By the way, ANY comment used to bash a system is lame.  These are machines made of plastic, metal, and silicon.  There's absolutely no reason to be a fan of an inanimate object.

He said 2008-2009. That`ll come quicker than you think. We are already 1/4 done with 07.

Except the PS2 has 60+ AAA games and a heck of a lot of AA/A titles. Still getting some new ones, too. Hence why I referred to the Wii as a new 'last-gen' system, it doesn't have the advantage of that massive range of games......yet. Should be an interesting generation, this one. Whatever the result, seems the gamers will win regardless of the outcome.
