NOTE: LOWEST MARK IS A D WE DO NOT GIVE OUT Fs
Xbox 360
Teacher comment: 360 was one of my best students, I was able to inspire effective online capabilities and connectivity, with a fair hardware output and fair price. He was the first one to come out into the market and apply himself. Everything about him is fair and fine. Good luck! 360 GRADUATED!
Price - B (premium package: good deal), C (retarded package: bad deal)
Online - A- (Xbox Live makes all online go poof!, but costs money)
Hardware - B (weaker than PS3, stronger than Wii)
Multimedia - A (Windows Media center connectivity, download and gameplay trailers, HD-DVD attachment)
First party support - B (good games, just not very often)
Third party support - B + (good games, a little sparse but good)
*Wii
Teacher comment: Wii was one of the more peculiar students. He always preferred to spend his time developing new ideas and innovations and he encouraged the class to think outside the box. He lacked the muscle to excel in sports as the others, but he was easily a cut above the rest in the arts. Change the world Wii, YOU'VE GRADUATED!
Price - A (you can't get better than the cheapest console on the market)
Online - B (good connectivity, a sparse amount of features, long friend code)
*Hardware - B (hardware is the weakest, but has the most potential in improving gameplay)
Multimedia - C- (miserable DVD playback attachment, seriously wasn't made for anything except games... no problem!)
First party support - A (Mario, Zelda, end of story)
Third party support - B (it's actually BETTER THAN the GC this time around, so we're seeing developers like Ubisoft step up to the plate to experiment)
PS3
Teacher comment: PS3 was one of our best athletes, he could render any amount of polygons lickety split. He was a bit greedy this time around though, as he required more money then necessary. *He was caught a few times copying from some of the other students. All in all though, he's a good student. PS3 GRADUATED!
Price - D (all fanboys let out a collective 'omg' when they saw it, unfair pricing scheme)
Online - B (might not be free, in any case you'll get cool friends lists and Xbox-like marketplace)
*Hardware - A- (Lost rumble)
Multimedia - B (Blu-Ray, support for music, pictures, and web browsing which you can just go on your dam PC in your bedroom to do, USELESS but just because Sony took the risk with a new format, I give them a B)
First party support - C (Sony doesn't make much, case closed)
*Third party support - A- (Not all of them are good, but hey, selection is for smart people, and they lost some exclusives) Coolblue2
