For me I have now played all of the next-gen consoles at stores and apparently a theme park. I first played the 360 in 2006, then the PS3 in a store this year, and finally a Wii at a theme park. What I think of the next-gen consoles after I played all of them is summarized in three words... THEY ALL SUCK!!!! They do! Here's why:
PS3: It's a powerful console with a Blu-Ray player but it's priced at freakin $600! On top of that the games aren't all that good. Some of the exclusives went to the 360 and that's not good at all especially if your multiplats look better on the 360(except Oblivion). Oh yeah and the console is heavy as heck and the controller is cheap as heck. And when it launched, it launched with not enough systems. Not a smart move especially since some poeple were gunned down for one. Sony, you promised a better next-gen experience, when are we gonna get it? When will you stop lying to us? When is a price cut comming?!?!?!?!?
360: It's a powerful console too and has a great game which is Gears of War. It also has a great online experience so what could possibly go wrong? Well to start, even though it's cheaper than the PS3 it's STILL pretty expensive. Also, even though it has great games you won't be playing them for long. Why, because the 360 will either A) Murder your precious game by scratching the $#@! out of it or B) Reenact the "Lord of the Rings" and by reenact I mean give you the freakin "Red rings of Death". So you'll have to pay for a warrenty or pay it to get fix'd. But if you also want to get the most out of the games you'll have to pay for Xbox LIVE Gold because trust me, after you beat Gears about 5 times you won't want to play again without online. Also, the 360 launched with a pretty much useless Core system and the Premium system that everyone has now. And with the Elite comming at an even more expensive price, what will we do now? Microsoft, when will you stop milking our money for all it's worth? When will you stop putting add-ons to the 360 to compete with the PS3?
Wii: It's a fun little console with MOTION SENSING controls. It's just too bad that you won't be playing this for long either because you will get tired eventually. Not only because of the game but playing it as well. Come on now, you aren't gonna be swinging your arms all day aren't you? Also during launch this system murdered a lot of good T.V. sets because of the wimpy strap. This SHOULD be the players fault but when you see the warning signs to put on the strap and fasten it you suspect that your T.V. and people around you will be safe. Well it's a surprise that when in the zone playing Wii Tenis, swing really hard and BAM!!!! There goes your T.V. and a couple of hundred bucks with it to replace it. Nintendo fix'd the problem but it doesn't change the fact that it happened. Oh and last part of this console not being good is that YOU CAN'T FIND ONE ANYWHERE!!!!! Come on Nintendo, when will Wii get to buy and play the Wii? And when will Wii get to play online?
So that's my conclusion on the next-gen consoles. But enough of what I think, I want to know what you guys think of the next-gen consoles. Do they rock or stink in your eyes? While you guys answer, I'll be changing my sig.
EDIT: Sorry I have to adjust the poll because it's not showing up.
