I myself own 2 of the "next gen", guess what they are? Yep you guessed it a Wii and Xbox 360. The Wii is a fantastic games consle it somes up nintendo in one word 'fun'. The use of the controller is a revolution in how we play games, Wii sports is a great example. Even though it is a free game i would gladly pay money for it, bowling is great fun along with tennis, but this game could not happen if the controller wasnt as accurate as it is. I think if nintendo keep bring out great games the Wii will be the winner of this generation of console. The Xbox 360 is also a very good games console. The graphics that can be produced are phonominal, not forgetnig the game play. Good example of good games on the 360 are gears of war, saints row, dead rising ect. Upcoming games are also very impressive including: Mass effect, GTA 4, Alan wake, Halo 3. Xbox live is also a very good reason to purchase an xbox even though i dont have xbox live i have used it and it is one of the main reason why people should consider buying an xbox over a ps3. And my thoughts on the ps3 well that is a whole othe subject.
