I don't see why "hardcore games" has anything to do with this argument.

Everyone is scared that when the wii overtakes the 360 in sales, the market will belong to a 'casual gamer system' and the 'true gamers' will have nothing.

[QUOTE="leadernator"]

PS3 has the most potential, with the latter end its 1st gen games exceeding anything possible on 360.

360's capabilities tapped out with Gears of War (like the Dreamcast tapped out with Soul Calibur).

PS3's online service is free and pretty much equal to XBL (if not, then better).

With both games and power on its side, there would be no reason NOT to buy a PS3 (if you're a gamer, of course).

The Halo series has lost it.

Screenshot comparisons are worthless, and will evolve to video comparisons.

No one will take the Wii's success seriously, and people would categorize it in the "family entertainment" market.

Everyone will be loved.

1: You wish.

2: Irrational thinking. Implies that devs on 360 suddenly get brain freeze and assumes that no progression is ever made again.

3: Seems unlikely. A server-based thing like that can't do stuff to the magnitude of XBL and remain free for too long. PSN, IMO, will most likely stay where it's at (plus Home), in its perfectly decent and serviceable state. I have no problems with that, actually: I do like PSN.

4: This statement assumes that the rest of the above statements are proven facts. They are not.

5: Bungie slips up for the first time ever, especially with how goshdarned fun that demo was? In that case, I'm calling it now: Starcraft 2 6.4. It's quite probable, by your logic.

6: Youtube is on the verge of breaking the internet already. As much as I would love streaming, embeddable HD quality low-compression videos for comparison, it's probably not going to happen that soon. Screenshots can be posted on a message board and viewed by everybody, so they're still the most convenient.

7: Already being proven wrong. The Wii's success has been built on the casual family market, true, but the same was with the PS2. Did the PS2 have problems with that? No, not really.

whoa. mass ownage. sorry TC you just go whipped.

I think you underestimate Microsoft, but I believe your right about the Wii. The best is yet to come with the 360, the PS3 hasn't even begun to tap it's potential, and I think we've seen as much as we're going to with the Wii. xboxdevil

You're knowledge of the wii and it's releases is about 10-15%. You know almost nothing about what is coming out on the wii...the graphics and depth of what is to come out on the wii. Just for a second, calm down that I'm semi-insulting you, and REALLY ask yourself..how much do you know about the wii and it's releases. Almost nothing, I'd bet.

"I think we've seen as much as we're going to with the wii." Lol I wonder if you remember the first 7 months of the 360 release..hmm. (Btw just to name a few: super smash brawl, metroid 3, no more heroes, project rygar, soul calibur legends, project hammer, battallion wars 2, final fantasy CB, and the list goes on)

And those games are more than likely to boost sales...further crushing the PS3, and inching it's way over the 360. Lol wait what am I saying..inching? The wii is overtaking the 360 with leaps and bounds.

I think they know their buying a Wii. Or are they confusing it for a toaster?Koolsen

LOL! :D ahaha that one made me laugh.

It's pretty hard to get a wii around here where I am (Toronto, Ontario; the heart of Canada) But I think most people are resorting to getting wii's on ebay for jacked up prices.

TC i really hope you're not thinking that your original post is full of insights and thoughtful opinon, and that it should be respected. Your post was 95% fanboyism, because you can't stand the fact that the wii is owning so hard.

Don't you think sales would have slowed down AT LEAST A BIT in 7 months because people who DIDNT KNOW what they were buying spread the fact that it's not a good console? People buy it because they want to, or because it's hyped right now, but either way end up liking it. The sales of the wii has just increased 10% btw.

There are some blockbuster games coming out...franchises that are older, wiser and more loved than anything the other plats can dish out Halo?More people are looking forwars to Mario Galaxy. Gears? Many more people would rather have Metroid Corruption. We don't even know for sure if Final Fantasy is going to the 360, but it's coming to the wii in full force with Final Fantasy Crystal Bearers.

The wii is not only the mos innovative and fun console; it's the cheapest. And it does all this while providing games that satisfy non gamers (Raving Rabbids, Cook Off, WarioWare, Wii Sports-- mini game collections) satisfy casuals (SSX Blur, Need for Speed, Mario Party 8,) and satisfy hard core gamers (Zelda, Mario Galaxy, Metroid 3, Project Rygar, Project HAMMER, Soul Calibur Legends, No More Heroes, Disaster Day of Crises, Final Fantasy CB, Battallion Wars 2, and moreee)

Now do you understan Mr.TC why the wii is ahead?
