Wow... why not just play all of them... each has their own advantages

Hey, we don't like your "logic" and "reasoning" here. We prefer to let our fanboy goggles do the thinking here thank you very much.

your opinions are not fact, the real fact is that the Wii is the best console to have and you should respect Nintendo while doing yourself a big favor by going to buy a Wii for yourself Rigga911

No really, IMO, I see the Wii as a gigantic pile of junk, the worst console for the past 3 generations, even the Gamecube was better.

And so what you said is no where near "fact", learn what a "fact" is.

If I went out a bought a Wii, I would have to go in my room and cry, cos I failed hard. Thats my opinion.

So no, its not doing myself a favour.

I would get a wii I have a PS3 and my friend got money and she promised me she was going to by me a system so I was deciding between wii and xbox 360 and well most multiplatforms are xbox/PS3 and most xbox games came to the PC so wii was the best option it has alot of games that are not on xbox/PS3 /pc like mario, zelda, metroid.

even if that were true (and it's not), it still has the biggest number of high scoring exclusives out of the consoles.

But remember that PC/360 games are NOT exclusive.

That's an opinion, if it was a fact why do I disagree with it and so do many others? I own a Wii for your information, and its collecting dust.

so? some people disagree that the earth moves around the earth, does that make it an opinion? NO...doesnt matter what you say Dust off your Wii and start playing it

:lol:

No it doesnt make it an opinion, cos its pure fact.

EVERYbody disagrees that the "earth moves around the earth" ..not some people... but anyway, doesnt matter what people say here, the earth revolves around the sun.

So now..

"The wii is the best console" is NOT fact. Its opinion, so it does matter what people say.

And in My opinion, its a hunk of junk = a waste of money.

I own both and my 360 is treated like a Halo 3 arcade :P I really only play Halo on it, sometimes a little forza 2, gears was a dissapointment and I rather get multiplats on my ps3 cause I know I'll always have online up and running and it much less likely to break down on me. If you money isn't a problem then I say go for it, but if it's a big purchase for you I'd advise you to make sure there are enough exclusives you want.

well at the time I had Mass Effect, Gears of War and was getting Left4Dead on PC.

and it still had more high scoring exclusives than the ps3.

Well at that time people who didn't have PCs were playing those games on their 360's. What's your point? If your case is the PS3 is better, it's unwise to use the PC to prop it up. By doing that you are just admitting that the PS3 library doesn't hold it's own.

hey guys ive been having an urge of getting a 360. i have a ps3 with over 30 games including COD4 resistance etc. and im really happy with it, but i really want to play halo 3 and both gears of wars along with a few other titles. so do you think its worth getting a 360 at this time period of the gen for games like halo 3 gears and other games that are soon gonna come out for the 360? thanks for any responses.soccer_fan93

Why not? If there are games you want to play, then go for it. The 360 arcade model is only $199. That's the cheapest system on the market right now.

Its only money you cant take it with you when you die,is how i look at it. But then its not that way for everyone.Some have families to consider.djsifer01
i agree with you, i do have my family to consider (not a parent, but my family needs my help for these economic times), so i begin to doubt i will buy another console this gen....depending on if the PS3 goes down in price.

As a stand alone console the 360 beats it. Not by a huge margin but it does. People here need to grow up a little and accept this. Just like people need to accept that the PS3 does have more features than the 360. Or that the PC has the largest library. Or that the wii does infact have some good games (well some...)

NO. The PS3 is there to cover all your multiplat needs and apparently there aren't many games that interest you on the Xbox 360. And the PS3's line-up in 2009 is in a league of it's own.

This is how I view PS3 fans bringing up the PC in arguments against the 360.

PC Skirt

Using the PC in arguments against the 360 to support the PS3 only weakens your point. Think about it for a second. If you truly need to bring up the fact that you can play some former 360 exclusives (and please, don't say all of the 360's best games are on the PC, you only end up looking foolish) to gain the upper hand, then what does that say about the PS3 as a platform? It makes it look pretty damn weak. If you need to use two platforms you bolster your support of the PS3, then that just proves that you think (key word there) that it can't stand up to the Xbox 360 in its own merits.

And before people automatically assume that these are my views...stop. I own a PS3 and I greatly enjoy it as a system. I'm merely speaking from an objective point of view.

It doesn't hurt the 360 at all. I have a really powerful PC and I played all of those games on the 360. It's a really lame argument. You are blathering on about exclusives but none of those games are on the PS3 AT ALL. And the average person looking at a 360 for gaming against the PS3 probably isn't going to have a PC powerful enough to run those games properly.

no, not really. the price of a 360 + PS3 is less than the price of a gaming rig + PS3.

tek91

you're still wrong. despite having lost a few exclusives (and really...it's only a few), the 360 still has more high rated exclusives than the ps3.
