First and foremost let me start out by saying this. I do own both consoles as my sig indicates so my opinions are totally unbias. First and foremost let me say that I think the console that will have the most sales in the end is the Wii, me personally I lost interest in Nintendo since the N64 so I personally dont ever plan on purchasing a Wii. While the Wii will come out on top of sales I honestly dont place the Wii in the same category as the PS3 and 360, this console war is really all about PS3/360. I mean the Wii is only $250.00 and is targeted to a younger audience Please note that is no way speaking bad about the Wii whatsoever, I respect Nintendo and think the Wii is perfect for the audience it aims for Ofcourse the Wii will have more sales. So getting back to the real console war which is PS3 VS 360 I think the PS3 in the end will come out on top and heres why...

I really enjoy my 360 greatly, infact I play it a lot more than my PS3, i havent played my PS3 in almost a week while I play Ghost Recon, Halo 2 and Gears almost on a daily basis, so yes im very big on the 360 and enjoy it greatly HOWEVER I personally think the 360 hardware on top of using just DVD9 will really hurt MS in the long run. At the moment it might seem that blu ray is highly unneccesary and honestly judging by the current PS3 library it does seem unnecesary because lets face it Gears right now blows anything on PS3 out of the water and its only on DVD9 BUT on the same token While Gears looks and plays fantastic it still is only 8 people on screen at one time with very enclosed maps. After watching the recent developer interviews on Lair, that game really has impressed me greatly and is really providing that true next gen look which honestly I dont think it could be possible on just your average DVD9 format.

Another reason why I think the PS3 will win is simply having to pay for xbox live. Does Xbox live right now surpass PSN?! Absolutly, for right now yes xbox live owns PSN. But, do I think once home is released PSN will exceed Xbox Live? Most likely, yes. And also with it being free that will be a huge advantage over the 360, The thing that really bugs me about microsoft's xbox live service is.. A.You have to pay for it which does add up over time, B. on top of paying a monthly fee you have to also pay for extra arcade games and such and C. You have to pay a whole $10.00 for just new maps on Gears?! That really disappoints me as a Hardcore Gears gamer, I mean we pay $60.00 for the game already on top of a $50.00 a year xbox live fee and NOW we have to pay a extra $10.00 for just more levels in a game?! I mean seriously when will it stop?

And last but not least I want to touch on Hardware reliablity. I mean after a year and a half the 360's are still breaking down, I mean there is really no excuse for that. And despite what "they" might have you believe, the defect rate is much greater than 3% and I really think this will really catch up to MS in the end, the bottom line is if 360s keep breaking and they are going to continue to charge for just something as simple as just extra maps, I really see people flocking more toward the PS3 in the end once the great games are released for it.

So to sum up what im saying is.. Right now the better gaming console is the 360 overall. I think the 360 will continue its momentum with titles such as Forza, Halo,Mass effect and bioshock on the horizon BUT I really think it will slow down after that and the Hardware limitations and format limitations of DVD9 will seem dated compared to what the PS3 will be capable of in the next several months. So in a nutshell.. The 360 has won the battle while the PS3 will win the war. Again im a very proud owner of both consoles and enjoy both greatly, all this is through my experience since owning both consoles, not based on blind fanboysim.

No your misunderstanding me, I said that the reason the Wii is selling so well is because its the cheapest of the consoles and is targed to more a younger audience. Im talking strickly between 360 and PS3

Interesting. You own both consoles and Play your 360 95% of the time. And yet you seem to think that the PS3 is better! Just because of Blue Ray and Live?

You are incorrect. The Wii is suprisingly garnering the attention of adults and women alike. Your assumptions and opinions are flawed. You have no fact to base your argument, and you are pulling facts out of your rear-end. I am not misunderstanding you, you are misunderstanding the gaming industry.

Oh come on man, take of the fanboy glasses for once. Name one Great game the wii will have that will actually appeal to adults? Ill wait, keep thinking...  Mario Galaxy, Paper mario, Wii sports, SSBM, zelda ALL appeal to the younger audience. I said the Wii is a great console for the audience its targeting but to honestly say the Wii is also targeting adults is just blind fanboyism. Even nintendo admits they are targeting toward a more younger audience, why cant you admit it

Once again, you are pulling "facts" out of your rear end. You are obviously not aware of Nintendo's true goals. You obviously do not realize that Nintendo is trying to appeal to a larger demographic. I can't believe you have the audacity to call Wii Sports a game "targeted to a younger demographic": that statement is absolutely appalling.

Wrong again, most people I know who play these games are the same age as me, 23, or maybe a little younger, around 19-20, still far from kiddy. Nice try, but you lose.

Dude, you'd have to be off your rocker to think that Wii Sports is a game targeted towards kids.

Other than the Wii comment, very good post. I'm glad to see someone went through to the trouble of making up good solid opinions instead of just slamming down a text wall of mindless rants.

"Unbiased Opinion" is an oxymoron, you silly fool.

I stopped reading after that. Come up with a legitimate argument before you cry "fact". In fact, don't cry "fact" at all, it makes you look foolish.

 Good post BrutonNYC.  Don't listen to these tarts that only read you first sentance and then respond back to that.  They don't understand that you want responses back to your message that your sending out.  The bigger message.  Anyways I think the 360 will follow the Ps3 with the blue ray format.  I dont really like how the 360 is makeing differnt console upgrades in the same generation.  Can't they make up their minds?  But what if PsN de-sides to make it cost?  That would suck, huh?

And despite what "they" might have you believe, the defect rate is much greater than 3% and I really think this will really catch up to MS in the end, the bottom line is if 360s keep breaking and they are going to continue to charge for just something as simple as just extra maps, I really see people flocking more toward the PS3 in the end once the great games are released for it.

So to sum up what im saying is.. Right now the better gaming console is the 360 overall. I think the 360 will continue its momentum with titles such as Forza, Halo,Mass effect and bioshock on the horizon BUT I really think it will slow down after that and the Hardware limitations and format limitations of DVD9 will seem dated compared to what the PS3 will be capable of in the next several months. So in a nutshell.. The 360 has won the battle while the PS3 will win the war. Again im a very proud owner of both consoles and enjoy both greatly, all this is through my experience since owning both consoles, not based on blind fanboysim.

Good post BrutonNYC. Don't listen to these tarts that only read you first sentance and then respond back to that. They don't understand that you want responses back to your message that your sending out. The bigger message. Anyways I think the 360 will follow the Ps3 with the blue ray format. I dont really like how the 360 is makeing differnt console upgrades in the same generation. Can't they make up their minds? But what if PsN de-sides to make it cost? That would suck, huh? Shomb22

Thank you, im glad finally someone took time out and read my post and saw it wasnt just blind fanboysim

First and foremost let me start out by saying this. I do own both consoles as my sig indicates so my opinions are totally unbias. First and foremost let me say that I think the console that will have the most sales in the end is the Wii, me personally I lost interest in Nintendo since the N64 so I personally dont ever plan on purchasing a Wii. While the Wii will come out on top of sales I honestly dont place the Wii in the same category as the PS3 and 360, this console war is really all about PS3/360. I mean the Wii is only $250.00 and is targeted to a younger audience Please note that is no way speaking bad about the Wii whatsoever, I respect Nintendo and think the Wii is perfect for the audience it aims for Ofcourse the Wii will have more sales. So getting back to the real console war which is PS3 VS 360 I think the PS3 in the end will come out on top and heres why...

I really enjoy my 360 greatly, infact I play it a lot more than my PS3, i havent played my PS3 in almost a week while I play Ghost Recon, Halo 2 and Gears almost on a daily basis, so yes im very big on the 360 and enjoy it greatly HOWEVER I personally think the 360 hardware on top of using just DVD9 will really hurt MS in the long run. At the moment it might seem that blu ray is highly unneccesary and honestly judging by the current PS3 library it does seem unnecesary because lets face it Gears right now blows anything on PS3 out of the water and its only on DVD9 BUT on the same token While Gears looks and plays fantastic it still is only 8 people on screen at one time with very enclosed maps. After watching the recent developer interviews on Lair, that game really has impressed me greatly and is really providing that true next gen look which honestly I dont think it could be possible on just your average DVD9 format.

Another reason why I think the PS3 will win is simply having to pay for xbox live. Does Xbox live right now surpass PSN?! Absolutly, for right now yes xbox live owns PSN. But, do I think once home is released PSN will exceed Xbox Live? Most likely, yes. And also with it being free that will be a huge advantage over the 360, The thing that really bugs me about microsoft's xbox live service is.. A.You have to pay for it which does add up over time, B. on top of paying a monthly fee you have to also pay for extra arcade games and such and C. You have to pay a whole $10.00 for just new maps on Gears?! That really disappoints me as a Hardcore Gears gamer, I mean we pay $60.00 for the game already on top of a $50.00 a year xbox live fee and NOW we have to pay a extra $10.00 for just more levels in a game?! I mean seriously when will it stop?

And last but not least I want to touch on Hardware reliablity. I mean after a year and a half the 360's are still breaking down, I mean there is really no excuse for that. And despite what "they" might have you believe, the defect rate is much greater than 3% and I really think this will really catch up to MS in the end, the bottom line is if 360s keep breaking and they are going to continue to charge for just something as simple as just extra maps, I really see people flocking more toward the PS3 in the end once the great games are released for it.

If the PS3 was really guaranteed to win, you would not have to make 30 threads a day trying to convince all of us.

[QUOTE="TrueReligion_"]So just because you own 2 out of the 3 consoles, you're not biased?BrutonNYC

No your misunderstanding me, I said that the reason the Wii is selling so well is because its the cheapest of the consoles and is targed to more a younger audience. Im talking strickly between 360 and PS3

I'm sorry, for a moment there I thought you were talking about the gamecube, I almost lol'd.

I got all the systems and I kinda like the ps3 because believe it or not, it's helping me save money. Since X-mas, the only game I got is resistance and that's $60 excluding that cost of the console, an extra controller, and an HDMI cable. For the 360, since around X-mas I've bought: Lost Planet, Crackdown, GRAW2, R6, Guitar Heroes II, Amored Core 4, Dead Rising, Def Jam, Splinter Cell DA, Hitman, Viva Pinata, CoD3 and Symphony of the Night. Which equal =  too much money!!!

I wasn't aware there are only two consoles out this gen.....Hmmm.... I recalled 3, maybe I have mental confusion from my Zinc, calcium, vitamin D, K, E, and A, and Iron deficiency, I think there's crazy game system called the Wii, no, I think I'm just experiencing hallucinations, because your topic title(Since it's unbiased) is reasuring me, that there are only two consoles.

I don't agree that Wii is aimed solely at a younger audience.

Anyway, I too think the PS3 will win this gen. I think it has the best upcoming lineup and that's the main reason I see it winning, not because of Blu-ray. 360 will probably come in 2nd with Wii close behind.

So...you actually think that the Wii will win? Isn't your title somewhat misleading?

E is for everyone not just for kids. Besides, the people I know who are most geeked about wii are all adults, without children. Your opinion is not fact. Sure we may be older, but we still like fun games even if they are made for everyone.

Cow and lemmings just cannot get past the fact that everyone doesn't want to play gory shooters.

It is so much easier for them to label it as kiddy.

some of us (I'm 22, male) want to play a game that is simply fun, or maybe to learn something, or to laugh with freinds. All of which can be done on the 250 dollar little package of goodness called the wii. When I do wanna shot/kill, I play redsteel. I can play zelda. I can play godfather. Soon I can play manhunt 2.  Just because 90% of the games doesn't target the 10% of gamers in thw world doesn't make the system kiddy.

 

Also, trying to use the wii's economical price as a shortfall is downright hilarious.

The only fact you need to concern yourself with is that at the end of the day, the wii is taking sales away from the ps3 and 360. That means they are in competition.
