PS3 vs. Wii

CreepyPirate · **Posted:** November 16th, 2006, 5:24 pm

I'm reading over gamespot a lot recently, i like to keep an eye on these consoles, while i've preordered one, i like to keep my options open and wont think twice about canceling it if i think it's going to flop.

Such a large amount of money and it can be a big gamble. Biggest arguemnt i've seen so far is everyone basing the wii on it's specs.

I don't see why, i buy consoles for games..not all the other junk. I don't care to much how real the graphics look, it's a game..it isn't supposed to be real.

Half the crap sony was throwing at me, all ther ebragging about the ps3..i honestly had no idea what most of it meant. XD

It was all big numbers and specs on the hardware..that means..nothing to me. The games mean it all.

Excessively stupid name, kiddy games (Mario is old), to play on it you'l need to flail your amrs around like an idiot (the Wiimote is a joke for first person shooters. It's heck trying to use them to aim)

You are allowed to buy yourself a new remote that doesn't have the motion sensor in.

You can't discriminate against something when you have the option to change it, that's just stupid.

Also look at the new Wii game line up. Farcry for example, a launch title FPS which looks pretty amazing.

Sorry, but you're just wrong in your descision if those are your reasons.

There are no wrong and right answers regarding to this scenario. So please do not say who has right and wrong answers because all opinions are accepted whether you like them or not.

Please continue...

Sorry. What i meant to say was that the Wii's processor is 75% slower than the Xbox 360's and at least 150% slower than the PS3's

Eat that

I bet you can't tell me what a processor is until you look it up.

All these stats being thrown around, it doesn't matter. The ps2 was the least powerful out of the three yet was the biggest seller, sony can throw around there stats all they like.

The ps3 is a gamble, blu-ray could very well flop, that pretty much means the ps3 flops to.

The ps3 is also the most expensive console out of the three to develope games for, that again will put off people making games for them - because they cost a fortune now adays and if they flop, it can be big trouble for the company. The 360 is the second most expensive and the wii, has been designed to be cheap yet fun, for both developer and consumer.

Tbh, i do not know of a single child that has parents willing to shell out 600 dollars on a console and anyone that does has more money than brains - i mean that with no offence but that is a HUGE amount of money on something a child does not need, my parents would NEVER spend that amount on me, it's clearly spoiling a child.

Either way..all three consoles are going to do well.

I lost all faith in Nintendo after the GameCube, I'm defiantley getting the PS3 and 360. Wii may have Mario and Zelda, but Mario right now is just Mario Brawl. But the PS3 will have on release Call of Duty 3 and Resistance: Fall of Man (Most awaited PS3 game).

In Reply to Creepy:

The PS2 wasn't the weakest; it was the Gamecube...It had the worst graphics of the three.

Um, Call of Duty 3 will be on Wii also you know. I'm just looking on ebay for PS3s and almost all of them are going for $1500 and above for each! Insane.

Yeah, Call of Duty 3 will be on the Wii, but I don't want to play my FPS games with motion-sensor.

lol WII all the way cuz ps3 is to expensive and the WII controllers are awesome !!!!!! :wink:

Jaden · **Posted:** November 28th, 2006, 5:56 pm

well, after reading many specs and artcles I am really interested in the Wii. I do like the idea of the controllers. I like the idea of having to actually get of your lazy but and preform moves for controls. Great idea. Gets the kids moving instead of just sitting there. I do hope they have a regular controller like that still.

Read this, its an interview with the people who developed the Wii

I was debating weather or not I should get a ps3 or a wii, then I read most of this and my mind was made up, also that you can get wii points and play nes snes sega genisis(i know I spelt that wrong...) and I believe 64 games...

Its about the GAME not the GRAPHICS, thats how I see it...

Anyway, NexGen's statistics have really proved that Wii are the champions.

I prefer PS3,

I dont really like Nintendo. I think there too many ''kids'' games. PS3 have much game of my style. On Wii I will probally try Zelda,Super Smash Bros Brawl...But I still prefer PS3 as there more games that I like such : GTA,Devil May Cry, Hitman and some games like that.

Nintendo, kiddy games. Yay lets all go play Mario. Oh, that's all they have that's reputable, and even that's bad.

I've never had a high opinion about Nintendo. The poll should be between the PS3 and Xbox 360. Those are the only contenders.
