Problem for them with the Wii is that Nintendo will be able to counter a big name release with their own (Looks like MGS4 will now be released around the same time as Mario Kart), plus both WiiFit and Brawl will beat out everything in Q1 (plus WiiWare). The 360 on the other hand will have nothing to counter except for Gears of War 2 (since GTA is also going to be on the PS3).Nintendo_Man
Yes but nobody looks at the wii unless they are under 13 and if htey are over 13 they already own a REAL console like the ps3, or they got a rip off and got the 360...Wii is a secondary console directed at kids and babies but some adults like it if they have a real mans console.

[QUOTE="Popadophalis"]So I was wondering TC if I'm still classified as a man even though the only current-gen console I own is a wii? By the way I'm aged well over 13.

With sales this holiday season and sales of when MGS4 comes out. i Realize Halo "3" just came out and broke some records because of all the commericals and ads that just came out, which probably cancelled out any profit they made, but anyway. With great games coming out this holiday season and the NEW low price tag, mothers around the WORLD, including JAPAN where the xbox 360 is selling about as well as catsup popsilces, will have an easy choice with the 3 usp ports, the FREE online, 1080p, sixaxis controller, and potential of the cell when it's fully utilized....

The Halo 3 launch was the biggest event in entertainment history, and it was VERY profitable for them, profits jumped 27%, here's a link

o like reiterate that the 2 systems, 360 and PS3, are actually very evenly matched, the diffrence between the two systems is much smaller than the diffrence between the xbox 1 and the PS2, and the power of the xbox1 did not help it win the console war last gen, the Cell is not the most powerful thing, the athlon 64 chip in my computer is more powerful that the almighty Cell in the Ps3
360 has 1080p as well, it comes down to games, and right now 360 has, by far and away the BEST library of games, and MGS4 is not going to change that, 360 has 3 awesome games this holiday season that PS3 will not have, Halo3, Mass Effect and Bioshock
The PS3 has already set a world record in computing power (something that the PC hasn't done yet). The 360 has set a record as being the most unreliable console in history with mutiple kinds of failures (not just the RROD).jimm895
lol at the whole post.

I'm sorry, the PS3 alone is not nearly as powerful as any ordinary home computer, I know that the PS3's around the world are being used together in some science thing, and thats great, but it has nothing to do with how amazingly powerful the cell is
The 360 has set a record for the biggest etertainment event in history in Halo3, and it has not set the record for the worst console reliabilty, I went through 4 PS1's those were crap, I have replaced my 360 only one, and it has been going fine for over a year with lots of play
100 mil to 20 and 25 is clearly unbiased *eyeroll*
ps3 is riding at 5 mil in US
360 and wii are in the 12 mil range
thats after the price drop

Sounds like insecurity to me. But I digress. The wii is turning out to be a good console, with some great games coming out now. I own a wii, and I dont have the time or money to spend on multiple systems right now.[QUOTE="Popadophalis"]So I was wondering TC if I'm still classified as a man even though the only current-gen console I own is a wii?

What an absolute load of rubbish, ive never heard such complete and utter drivvle in my life. Owning a particular console does not make u any more or less of a man than anyone else.
I think the above is sad and angry kid that should be doin his homework rather than sat in here spitting rubbish and insulting anyone that owns something he doesnt.

yup because if you only own a wii you are a little girl (or girly man) that hates games like LoZ:TP, MP:3, SPM, SMG, and NMH and only likes cooking mama and brain age:roll:.

lol ya because "mothers around the world" are suckers for 3 usb ports and the "potential of the cell". As soon as they find out about that than the ps3 is an instant buy!
...good luck with the reasoning.
And wasn't MGS4 just delayed? That's awsome...I guess some people never get tired of waiting. The wait shouldn't seem too long though, because ps3 gamers have epic games like Heavenly Sword to keep you busy for MONTHS!

you are 13 aren't you, because that sounds like the insecurity of a pubescent teenage boy.
Bioshock in August (AAA). Halo 3 in September (AAA). The Orange Box in October (AAA). And Mass Effec in November (hyped AAA).
No other console can compete. All fanboys can say is "just Wait".

HAHAha a "real mans console" that is an extremely childish thing to say.I'm not saying there is a "real man's" console out there, but are people honestly denying that the Wii has the game library that is the most targeted at younger gamers? I own the Wii, and I found Wii sports to be great for the first little while, but after that the library really doesn't have much for me. WarioWare is there only AAA I believe...that should be telling people something. Zelda (a franchisethat I loved when I was 5) and Super Paper Mario (another franchise I loved when I was 5) are not far behind...and won't necessarily satisfy gamers who are looking for mature gameplay.

wether you like it or not i will be busy until mgs 4 comes out
besides you will be playing mass effect/halo3 until ng 2 comes out next x-mas.
The only record it will break is the number of exclusive flops in terms of sales and quality for one console.Jhung207
Quoted For Truth. Also, the PS3 will break the record for how fast they can discontinue a SKU and introduce a new one then discontinue that one.
ok fine a fps, fps, fps, wantabee rpg. im sorry but if your not a fps fan the 360 has crap exclusives.Bioshock in August (AAA). Halo 3 in September (AAA). The Orange Box in October (AAA). And Mass Effec in November (hyped AAA).

You know, if the TC had any good games to play on his PS3, he probably wouldn't be here.
To me, the PS3 came too late and doesnt offer anything (at the moment) that you cant get on the Wii and 360. Thats the biggest drawback, IMO. Yes, some people passed on the 360 and waited for the PS3, but most didnt. To me, it just doesnt do anything different. My 360 is great, and I have a lot of great games to select from. The Wii came along and offers something different and their properties (Zelda, Mario, Metroid, etc) that you cant get anywhere else. The PS3 would give me....
a very expensive paperweight. I guess I could always use it as a space heater though.
And dont give me crap about USB ports, cell, MGS4, blah blah blah. Face it, at this moment, if offers nothing new.
NEW low price tag, mothers around the WORLD Friendlyfire53
$400 isnt a low price tag for a mom thinking of buying a console for her kid.
