II've got to say, I love my Wii, but it's started to collect a little dust. There just aren't enough good games coming out for it. The 360 has been getting all the good games and is in use constantly. I have no intention of buying a PS3, not for a while anyway. So I'd say best system for games and fun is the 360 fot right now.
With all of Sony's big system sellers going to the 360, is there any way that the PS3 will survive? Games like Metal Gear 4 are being ported to the PS3. Sony has lost exclusiveness on FF XIII. Army of Two is coming to the 360 and supposedly has a much better frame rate. What is causing all of these franchises to jump ship?
It's all in the game. While some games have tacked on multiplayer which is about as much fun as watching paint grow, other games are centered on the multiplayer. Games like Battlefield 2142 that have no single player are a ton fun when you're playing with 63 othe people online. Then there's all the MMO's which I love because you're not isolated by yourself, you're with a comunity of people. It's hard to say, but more often than not, I prefer multiplayer.
Brawl is gonna be kick ass, but letting me pwn people instead of computers will had some serious game time. Once you beet the challenges Melee and could take three lvl 9's, there wasn't much more to do. So yeah, online would make it great.
My only problem is that for the way I have my TV setup, I have to be sitting at the right level for it to be as accurate as it should be. I messed around with all the different options and ended up puting it below my TV. If I stand up while playing, it occasionally misses it. Maybe a slightly bigger bar would solve that problem for me.
PS2 had the best library by far. There were so many kick ass games for it that I have to say it was the greatest. The worst for me would have to be the Xbox. I say that because I'm still bitter that I have a broken hunk of plastic that lasted only eight days longer than it's warranty.
You definitely don't need an HDTV to enjoy the 360. While the graphics are significantly better, they are still beautiful on a regular TV. Also, graphics are definitely not the most important part of a video game. If all you want to do is see pretty animation then get something like FF VII Advent Children. It's pretty graphics and you don't have to play a game to see them. Seriously, some of the classic 32-bit games are the most fun I've ever played.
I never intended to downplay Nintendo, I want to point out that many third party developers are just lazy. Also, you do own the best games for the Wii currently. Those games are examples of what the Wii can be. And notice the games you have mentioned. Half the games are made by Nintendo, Trauma Center is a port from the DS, allowing the companiny to spend its time changing DS pointing to Wii pointing, and Madden is another port which I'm glad to see that they actually spent their time on. With more games like these, the Wii will kick ass.
