So it turns out to be that the "more powerful" console with the "more powerful processing powers" with built in wifi and blu ray drive produces inferior games while the "less powerful" console with defects and no standard hard drives for every sku produces superior games. I know both hardware and software can improve with time, but on the meantime which one can you live with, choose one?

As you can see, I did not name any console. I just want the votes to be based on hardware versus software/games. Which one really matters to gamers, all this extra special built in features that makes the specs look good or the software, games that plays well and look good?

As you can see, I did not name any consoles. I was just wondering what will gamers choose, superior hardware with inferior games or inferior hardware with superior games. Which one really matters to them. And so far gamers choose superior games, I mean it is suppose to be a gaming system right.

Kind of a stupid poll. I'll go with my own answer: Superior hardware and superior software. Just because the Wii is weaker, it's supposed to be some underdog with amazingly incredible software? Nah, the software is shovelware crap and ports from the Gamecube. 360 has a much better online service, much better looking and sounding games, and higher scoring and selling games as well. PS3 is just desperate to catch up to either one of them...kinda sad.

Every system has bottlenecks. The hardware is superior in my mind because of its reliability , quietness , blu-ray , better HDMI , wifi included+ethernet port , bluetooth. Graphics power is negligible at this point.

I choose superior hardware AND superior games.

It's the obvious choice.

Funny how people just assume this applies to that. The inferior hardware with superior software thing applies to me with my PC. I've never been one to pay a huge price to get superior hardware that outdates in a year. Doesn't matter to me if I can't run games on the maximum settings, the gameplay is still the *same*.

Silly question.

What good is great hardware without great games? Just bragging rights that you got more Mega or Gigga somethings than somebody else.

Its all about the games.

In the end it's pretty relative to what one would consider a Superior game. Games also work in tandem with hardware. Some things aren't possible on inferior hardware. Ultimately that can't tell you how crap or good a game is.

I'd have to side with RojAvon on this.

See over there in the next thread. Theres this great ******* match going on that is this riviting recital of numbers and letters as people snipe back and forth about which graphics card what system has. It doesn't seem like anybody even knows for sure and I'm not sure why it really matters anyway when any sensible chimpanzee would pick a system based on what games they like instead of being so apparently fascinated with a bunch of numbers on the side of the box.
