Best Next-generation Console
 

What does everyone think the best next-gen console is?

The Revolution, XBox 360, PS3

I personally prefer Xbox over the revolution and PS3

The Revolution just sucks....

PS3 is too expensive.... way the fuck too expensive.....

What does every1 think???

It's the Nintendo Wii, btw. Revolution was it's project codename until about E3 '06, I think.

If you're going to say the Wii sucks, and the PS3 is too expensive, then back it up. Why does the Wii suck? Why is thew PS3 too expensive? Just the fact that you get everything in one console at one price rather than mini bits you buy and jack the price up, or what?

So come on, if you want an argument but some oomph into your opening statement.

well, for one, nintendo Wii, I don't like the controller setup, the PS3 does include everything, unlike the Xbox 360, but most of the games are already released on the 360!

PS3 Launch titles:

Genji: Days of the Blade
NBA 07
Resistance: Fall of Man
Blazing Angels: Squadrons of WWII
Call of Duty 3
EA Sports Fight Night Round 3
The Elder Scrolls IV Oblivion
F.E.A.R.
Full Auto 2 Battlelines
Madden NFL 07
Marvel Ultimate Alliance
Mobile Suit Gundam: Crossfire
NBA 2K7
NHL 2K7
Untold Legends Dark Kingdom
Ridge Racer 7
Tiger Woods PGA Tour 07
Sonic the Hedgehog
Need for Speed Carbon
Tony Hawk's Project 8
Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Vegas

21 games. 14 the 360 has, or is getting at the same time as the PS3. 7 that are exclusives.

The PS3 then has a little stack of exclusive games, somewhere in the region of 60, including gems such as MGS4, Lair, GT HD, Warhawk, and not forgetting the 3 FFXIII games from Squenix.

So, no, most of the games aren't already released on the 360. Perhaps 8 or 9 are, with a handful more coming out at the same time. We then see, over the couple of years after the PS3 launch, more and more titles coming out that are exclusive to the PS3.

I like the idea of the Wii controller, but think that this might soon blow it out of the water: http://uk.gear.ign.com/articles/740/740679p1.html

Need for Speed Carbon.

Of course the Xbox 360 is the best even if you have to buy 4 of them to get a working one.

Fanboy.

I'm leaning towards the PS3 atm, but only because of it's capabilities to at least play blu ray disks.

I'm probably not going to get either, as I've moved on to pc gaming.

Yeah with people making emulator's for every damn console out there, the pc rules over all, but purely discussing gaming consoles microsoft has done a decent job with the 360. There are some tweaks here and there that need to be applied to the 360, but overall it's not a bad console.

Umm, PC's cant handle emulating an Xbox360 or PS3 at all. To emulate, you need 3-4x the power of what you are emulating. This is especially since the games are programmed for the hardware of the console, when you emulate, it is software based, and in order to run the software that emulates the game engine, it takes a lot more power.

Consoles own.

X360 for the sole fact that it will have Halo3.

Call me a fanboy, I don't care.

well who knows, with the quad sli setups coming into play, I would think that, wow my space bar really sucks..... well back to this topic, so with AMD coming out with a line up of socket 940 processors who knows what can be emulated in the near future....

And Intel's Quad Core processors in 2008. Those should be fun. And damn expensive.

Yep, fun shit, intel and AMD both kick some ass in processors, now if they would just give them to me for free.... :D

Fanboy.

To the guy saying ps3 is too expensive:

Sure PS3 is extremely expensive, but then it always was a system based for adults, not ment for kids to buy it IMO. They have always been easy to break if you drop them or whatever, where the xbox and wii are pretty darn sturdy.

But think about this... Sony is losing money for selling for that price... Hopefully that tells you something about how powerful it will be. If not then you are a fanboy tard.

It all depends on pref, and life style... ill explain

Depends on what type of games you like, generally the Xbox has games I like more than the PS3, now the Wii will always have my fun loving games.

Life style, well I have my PC and not much time to sit down on a console anyways so the only reason I'd want one is to take over to a friends house and have some drunken fun, and usually with girls not being very gaming... the Wii will provide those easy fun games like Mario Party, Strikers, SSB etc

so i'd go with Wii, then 360, then PS3. this has nothing to do with price, or how badass the system it is.

360, also looses money for each one that is sold. I'd still go with the 360, since it has halo, and I already love my x box.

That wasn't the point. Well I guess that helps the point... The PS3 (like all consoles) cost alot of money to develop and put together. So if you are spending 700 and they are still losing money on it, then you know the performance of the console has got to be pretty high end... (Justification on price)

Bleh at Halo... Its the same game over and over.

New to Halo 3: 1 new weapon, 20 new online maps! All for just $50 and the cost of an xbox 360!

For me... I prefer longer games that are more in depth and the Playstation has always had the best RPGs (not including SNES) so yeah I'll be goin with the PS3 when I even decide to get it... Which most likely wont be for 6months or so after release, or longer.

You tell a die hard halo 1 fan that halo 2 is the same game and he'll kick your ass. You've obviously not played one or the other, they're pretty damn different.

I have... Sure they introduced Boosting for Cov vehicles, and dual wielding, changed the power of most weapons, and allowed vehicles to blow up, and be locked onto. But... What are they going to do for halo 3? Tri-Wielding? The way I see the game theres nothing they couldnt change without say a patch that you have to pay for... All Halo 3 will be in my mind is updated graphics considering the system its on. That and maybe another weapon.

But I'd rather not wait untill 2010 to play it. (Yes I know they pushed it up to be released in 2007 but seriously... Do you honestly believe that?)

Just not worth it in my mind to pay over 500 bucks for a system where the only game I'd most likely play would be Oblivion =/ I'd rather just save an extra 200 for a system I know I would play.

Microsoft lose money from the 360?

The PS3 hasn't been released yet and already Sony have predicted more than a $1.7 billion loss! They're having to make it up by taking profits from all the other divisions.

If the PS3 goes down in flames, Sony are goners.
