I love Sony and Playstation, I have a PS1 and PS2. i dont wanna miss out on any of the games. Im not being funny, but I dont want a 360 because of the failure rates. But back to my question, I really want to focus on getting my Wii collection up first, with Brawl coming and Mario kart Wii hitting too this year, I fear I have no time for PS3. But then on the other side of things MGS4, GTA4, Street fighter 4(which may not come out on Wii) and some other PS3 games I wanted to play. I also feel that PS3 might pull ahead and be number one. So should get PS3? If im still also working on my Wii collection?

BC is not a Big issue, since I can hook up my PS2 anytime and play. I just dont want to miss out on PS3 games, and I hear that they rarely break.

Well if there are lots of titles that appeal to you then pick up the cheap version (relative). For me it is my least used system as console multi's always get bought for the 360 (clever MS and their achievements) and I spend most of my time on PC.

There will be good things for the PS3 i'm sure but it is my movie player and photo viewer as of now.

Most PS3 & Wii owners agree with you as well. Wii is good, but it's outclassed by PS3.

Thats not neccessarily true I have a Wii and 360 but I still like playing my Wii as much as the 360, even though I played the 360 more it is just that I don't have money and my Brother only buys games for the 360.

yes thats what im scared about, i mean money is a big problem, and i would hate to crunch when I stuck between getting that New cool Wii game and that new cool PS3 game. I mean I wouldnt stop me from playing Wii because im more of Nintendo fan, but I still like Playstation.

well basically on PS3 uve got heavenly sword, R&C and uncharted as the big PS3 exclusives out at the mo. so if those are really interesting u then a PS3 might be worth a look. im assuming u dont play games on PC so if thats the case then theres also loads of other great multiplat games that arent on wii like COD4, Oblivion and so on.

however if ure having probs keeping up with the wii and are happy with it then i wouldnt worry about getting a PS3 at the mo. when u do decide to get it, itll still be there (and possibly cheaper) and those games will still be waiting. so no pressure.

Stop worring about who will be number one and just game for fun. But let me tell you what I noticed, you named TWO games you wanted for the Wii and you named THREE games you wanted for the PS3. That might be something you need to think about.

You might as well wait. The games out right now will still be there by the end of the year, you can see how 2008 turns out for the PS3 and maybe you'll get a price cut on both the system and the older games.

Yea but you said you play 360 more then Nintendo and you name is NINTENDO OWNES...lol. I have a PS3 and Wii and I am happy with both but of course my PS3 gets alot more play, not only does it have addictive online games like COD4 but solid story cinematic games like Uncharted, Rachet, and DMC4. Then I use it to watch HD movies too, the poor guy doesnt get a rest.

So Gamespot determines how you games and what you classify as good games. Not to mention on GS a 7.0 is considered GOOD.

I know my name is Nintendo_Ownes7 and I don't like having this name because I made it when I was extremely Biased and now alot of people don't take me seriously even though I have a 360, Wii and planning on getting a PS3 for InFAMOUS, Little Big Planet, Haze, FFXIII, and Versus XIII.

Sure, PS3 has good games, no doubt. That's why I bought 2 (well, mainly they're used for Blu-ray in seperate rooms, whatever). But Wii has great games.

If you're counting multiplats, Wii still wins and has better AAA's. Hell, SMG is the 2nd best game ever made.

Look again, Wii on average has the worst games. Which you will say Wii has more titles. Then I will say even with more titles PS3 has more "good" or "green" rated games than Wii.

Metacritic-

Wii games rated 75% or above = 25 titles

PS3 games rated 75% or above = 63 titles

Links below:

http://www.metacritic.com/games/ps3/scores/

http://www.metacritic.com/games/wii/scores/

Also SMG is Not the 2nd best game ever made.. Scores don't say that. All scores say is it's the best game ever made on Wii. On X360 or PS3 SMG would score 7 maybe 8 tops. It lack of graphics, it's lack of online, it's lack of community features, etc. those are all considered standard on PS3 and X360. Lacking those features would kill it, but it is a great Wii game.

The PS3 and Wii came out the same time so you and billions of others made it clear which one you would choose and that's the Wii. The Wii a console that really focuses on games and how to play them, while the PS3 seems unfocus with gaming and tries to do everything but.

I'd wait on the PS3 mostly due to price and features (such has 20GB, 60GB, 80GB hard drive). PS3 is only going to get cheaper, and maybe even more so since Blu-Ray is winning the format war. Plus, Sony is more inspired to move consoles, so good deals are more likely in its future.

The Wii is not getting cheaper any time soon, and the best Nintendo games hardly ever go cheap.

So I would get a Wii first (especially this weekend since its in both the TRU ad and Target ad), and get the PS3 when the price comes down. IMO.

So AAAE has to be stamped on the cover before you play it?

Check yours again. The ps3 still has more AAAs then the wii does, and more AAs, way more quality games. The TC dosnt have a 360 so exclusives dont matter

Wii games rated 75% or above = 25 titles

If the gameplay is so superior then how come they are scored so low?

Gundam cross fire> SMG? your logic is flawed, also by that reasoning every single last gen game(or from previous gens) are trash. Since when where the ps3/360 next gen? graphics didnt save turok, or Lair, etc. A grest game is a great game no matter the system, as shown by the GAME OF THE YEAR awards on gamespot, GS seems the think SMG was the best game of last year.

Your fooolish reasoning and blind fanboyism are astounding.
