dislikes

-has way too many fps games, which are unplayable compared to on a pc, in my opinion that is, which means you can still like them.

-has few fun and innovative games like viva pinata

-should have dedicated servers for playing online games, like gears and other ms published games at least.

wii

dislikes

I don't really like the controller

there are really few games announced that i'm buying, maybe only 2 or 3 that has been announced now.

seems to be focusing to much on casual gamers, even though I think their success is great which ensures the continuation of nintendo as a company

likes

has a few must have games, like zelda, mario galaxy and re: umbrella chronicles.

Ps3

dislikes

focuses too much on 1080p which most people don't have a tv for

them cutting the emotion engine for pal release

confusion with the SKUs after E3

likes

the games, the features, the bluray player, free online, upscaling, the games, the controller and most importantly the value.

Likes:

* Blu-ray playback. Teh sexy.

X360

Wii-bad
Game lineup (i don't like it)
I haven't played it (for the above reason), so that's pretty much all I can mention at this point.

Wii-good
Super Mario Galaxy (i don't know if it's nostalgia, but this game looks like fun)

PS3-bad
Playstation Store (looks like crap and lacks content)
Games (i own motorstorm)
Controller (it's ok, but rumble and a more ergonomic redesign would've been nice)

PS3-good
The future (yeah yeah... but it's true. mgs4, gt5, ff13, uncharted, heavenly sword, littlebigplanet, heavy rain...)


360-bad
Hardware quality (tends to break in a variety of different ways)
Milking (microtransactions, xbl, accessories)
Noise (not that big a deal, but it can be annoying)

360-good
Games (nowadays it's guitar hero II, forza motorsport 2, the darkness and crackdown)

ProductNumber49

x-box 360

1. accecories such as wireless adapter to expensive

2.have to pay for online play

3. hardware breakdowns really suck

1. great games

X360

Dislikes:

- The biggest gimmick on the market: system with a lineup composed of PC multiplats and timed exclusives, made to breach the console market and lure suckers into buying a watered down PC by marketing it as "cool."

- Failure rate is unbelievable. Microsoft's lack of proper support is even more unbelievable (well, not really).

- Crappy online that still costs extra.

Likes:

- Nice controller... to complement my PC.

PS3

Dislikes:

- Price, and the forced multimedia that raises it to that price.

- Lack of quality exclusives at the moment.

- Tacked on motion control with Sixaxis.

Likes:

- Lots of fantastic games on the horizon.

Wii

Dislikes:

- Serious lack of online games.

- Too much shovelware; devs don't even TRY to utilize the hardware properly.

- SSBB is not out yet.

Likes:

- Awesome lineup (not counting the shovelware).

360

Dislikes:

Most of the Current games are crap

Most of its "great new lineup" is only a few games cause it has the least exclusives

It has the worst controler imaginable second only to the origonal Xbox controler

Likes:

Heats my house.

PS3

Dislikes

Lack of origonal games

Lack of current games

Price

Likes

Super rub-a-dub duck

Blu-Ray movies

Better future lineup than the 360

The controler is light, confortable, and has great button position

360

Dislikes:

Pretty much nothing but RPGs coming out for the rest of the year

Halo 3 being a dissapointment so far

Worrying about it breaking

Likes:

Xbox Live is awesome

Overthrow

i wouldnt exactly call Xbox 360 a gimmick especially when the Wii is still around

360:

1) Hardware failures

2) Charging for Live is weak

3) Forcing the customer to buy their HDD at a very inflated price

Likes:

Not being afraid to spend money to pry games away or get exclusive content. Oh and Halo is one of my all time favortie game series.

PS3:

Dislike:

1) the game drought

2) Sony's inconsistency with price and Sku's.

3) Sony not spending to keep certain games exclusive. Gotta make customers buy your product if they want to play those special games, e.g, GTA 4, RE5, etc

Like:

The diversity of the games coming. It's not all of one type of thing.

Xbox 360

HATE:

- Not being fully backwards compatible
- It scratches some of my disks
- Xbox Live is too expensive (and the xbox live arcade games are too expensive)

LIKE:
- The games coming out for it (Halo 3, GTA: IV, Assasin's Creed, Mass Effect)

Wii

HATE:

- Controller feels plasticy
- Bad graphics
- Lack of online

LIKE:
- All of the Nintendo games (Mario Kart wii, Smash Bros. Brawl, Metroid Prime 3, Mario Galaxy)

PS3:

HATE:

- No rumble / tacked-on motion support
- Too expensive
- Not enough good exclusives

LIKE:

- Blu-ray player

Xbox 360

Dislikes:

- Too damn noisy

- Frikkin' d-pad!

- High failure rates

Likes:

- Games, games, games, GAMES!

PC

Dislikes: I don't know how to build one, for a high-end one to play Crysis (which I really want to play) it could cost me around 1,000 dollars, Keyboard and Mouse aren't that great for sports games.

Likes: It has the best games and the best company backing them up. Blizzard of course!

360

Dislikes: Unreliable, the wireless headset picks up sound like crazy, when the disk starts spinning, the volume level is huge.

Likes: X-Box Live!

PS3

Dislikes: Bad games right now (note, the RIGHT NOW part), expensive, the dashboard is kind of cluttered.

Likes: The future of games for it.

Wii

Dislikes: Minigames and partygames, the graphics, the internal memory is too small for a VC lover.

Likes: Nintendo makes the second best games ever. With Blizzard being first.

Wii:

1) Old hardware being touted as "next-gen/current-gen" when it clear isn't

2) Charging such a high amount for old hardware

3) Focusing so much on the casual

Like:

Nothing really. I respect their sales and their business savy but, as a gamer, I don't think the Wii has anything to offer me.

Edit: Correction. Instead of anything to offer me I'll say as much to offer me as a PS3 or 360.

wii

dislikes:

game libary not diverse enough

too many minigame "games" and ds style games

controllers (strike me as being a bit naff when playing more conventional games)

like:

its original

xbox 360

dislikes:

apparent unreliability

not particularly innovative

having to pay for online play when its free on competing consoles (is it free on the wii?)

like:

biggest game library

ps3

dislikes:

high price compared to competition

uk (and other pal territories) customers getting jipped at every available chance

lack of big name third party exclusives

like:

good balance of power and innovation

pc

dislikes:

having to upgrade as graphics/length etc of games improve (with a console you can play any game released for it no hassle)

high price of gaming pcs and gaming specific hardware

dont know why you would choose to play multi-platform games on a pc over a console

like:

your one stop place for most of your entertainment needs

Xbox 360:

1) LIVE interface is too slow for me

2) Theme customization suxorz...only one picture for every blade unless we buy them? = lame

3) I don't mind the $50 price tag on LIVE, but having to pay $10 for every good piece of game DLC is lame since there's not enough good free stuff to compensate (ie. demos, gamerpics, themes, etc.)

What I like:

1) 98% of all the games I want are on the 360.

wii

crappy graphichs

crappy controller

crappy power

likes:

well....um..its..small

PS3 Bad: price... that's it

good: reliable hardware, free online

360 bad: hardware sucks, Live $50,

good: better games than PS3

I'll get a 360 the second Live becomes free. otherwise, I'm waiting for the $300-400 PS3.
