^you're kidding right? DS outsells PSP 5:1 worldwide

 

and time will tell in the console arena

 

Nintendo Sucks Hard :D It was cool when I was twelve 20 years ago, now it is junk. The WII is a toy and the PS3 is a machine. WII is targeted toward kids 13 and under. It is under powered and weak compared to the two other consoles. The DS is their bread and butter, just like the GameBoy. It only out sells in Japan. I grew up and so did my PlayStation. Have fun with your toy :gun:

^i will... video games are supposed to be fun. if i wanted a "machine" i'd game on my pc. and like i already said, nintendo opted out of the hardware race on purpose. why? because good graphics don't = good gameplay

 

as far as the wii controller, it doesn't need to be adapted for gamecube (or other nintendo system) games... there's a nifty port in the bottom that accepts the "classic controller" a traditional style controller made specifically for playing gamecube (or other) games on the wii. even nintendo's "wavebird" controller is said to be compatible

 

and as far as wii not being HD, i can't afford an HDTV right now, so it doesn't matter to me. and i'm hardly the only one. if i can afford one by "2011", great... but by then, there will be a whole new generation of game consoles, and nintendo will probably include HD in it, becuz by then it will become cost effective (typical console lifespan is 5-6 years)

 

what's the point of including a feature (HD) if only 50% (or less) of your audience has the required peripheral? better to keep costs down... and since wii costs less than half of what a ps3 will cost, and will be out first, nintendo already has 2 advantages. add in the innovation, and there's 3 advantages

 

if you can ignore the logic in my diatribe here, enjoy your ps3 :P

 

ps- and i don't consider the gamecube a flop. true, they didn't have much 3rd party support at first, which sucks. but they had some killer titles nonetheless, and in the last couple years, some developers that didn't want any part of the cube at first came back to make titles for it... Square is a good example (final fantasy anyone?)... for wii, nintendo has garnered tons of 3rd party support.. face it, developers are EXCITED about wii

Nintendo will be dead by 2011 :o The price is not a factor for me. If the WII was better, thats what I would get. HD is a huge factor for me and 1080p is remarkable. The PS3 is a computer and I want to treat it that way. Sony is welcoming home-brew on it, it will work back and forth with my PSP, and I will stream music and movies wireless where ever I want. BluRay and 1080p are the biggest selling points for me, and the price for those features alone is incredible. The WII will FLOP, I promise you :P

yea, ps3 is a computer... i already have a computer. as far as "factors" ..well, affordability is a factor for me, as it is for many people. for $500+ spent on a ps3, i could build a computer, or buy a cheap one, and stream music and movies on it's wireless wherever i want

 

i want to buy an affordable GAMING machine. leave computer stuff to computers

 

i'll say it again. good graphics don't equal good gameplay

chill, lets just discuss this, everyone who doesnt agree with dark4181 keep it nice, please, these are opinions so tecnically no one is wrong....

 

 

well.... i game on my pc, and even if you dont own an hd tv then you can still play the ps3, but if you do get one then it will support that too, if you allready have one, then you can use it... :) why dont you like hardware supperiority, oh, and what "hits" on gamecube? super mario golf, baseball, and anyother titles that they released that were horrible but they needed to release something for the cube... i think that the wii will be fun, but it will need to really {censored} and whine to get 3rd party support, im not talkin about porting {censored}tastic gamcube titles, im talking about the new titles that will be released in hd on the other systems with more standard easy to program for controlers xbox 360 controller -> ps3 controler = no problem xbox 360/ps3 controler -> Wii = oranges and apples, nothing in common other than their game systems... and if the games are anything like gamecube they will have one m game in the life of the system... i dont know how old you are, but i know that i dont want to be stuck walking a dog on my Wii because "this is better than a real pet" (aka, no for the last time we wont buy you a dog, heres a game to shut up little 11 year old Johny.... ) oh, and good graphics sure helps, I have refused to buy games because the graphics are blocky, bad, or not good enough to wow me, no at least 2x aa then its a no go.... oh, and on the hd thing, everyone will have to move to hd soon so slightly less than 50% now is silly, thats like saying why make cpus x64 compatable, vista compatable (i dont like the os, but less than 50% of people are using it rightnow), why would you include blueray in the ps3, less than 50% of movies are in blueray atm... but that could be where its going (but hd doesnt have a competitor like blueray/hddvd) tell me thats not logic.... you make bad arguments and infact sometimes prove my point. i wouldnt want you as my laywer...

good gamecube games~> legend of zelda: wind waker, final fantasy: crystal chronicles, super smash bros melee, mario kart: double dash, pikmin 1 & 2, baiten kaitos 1 & 2, prince of persia 1, 2 and especially 3, wave race: blue storm, mario sunshine, metroid prime 1 & 2, star wars: rogue squadron 2 & 3, sonic mega collection, sonic heroes, resident evil 4 & 0, tales of symphonia, super mario stikers, geist

 

there are other good games, those are just ones that have sold 1 million+ as of july 2006... most are closer to 5 million sales

 

"m" rated gamecube games ~> mortal kombat: deadly alliance, mortal kombat deception, resident evil series, hunter: the reckoning, prince of persia: the two thrones and others... though it's true that mature titles aren't as profuse on the gamecube

 

as for the controller porting issues, i believe i already mentioned that wii has a port in the remote that will allow you to attach a more traditional controller. so that argument is toast

 

as for hardware superiority, i'm certainly not against it, but i'm not gonna pay $500-600 for a launching system when the price is likely to drop to half that after a year or so. especially when i can get a system that's within my means at it's launch

 

honestly, i'd rather have excellent gameplay than photorealistic graphics. it enables me to save money for things that really matter. gaming is, after all, just a hobby

 

wii games i'm looking forward to ~> legend of zelda: twilight princess, red steel, metroid prime 3, far cry: vengeance, call of duty 3, final fantasy: crystal chronicles, fire emblem: goddess of dawn, prince of persia, smash bros brawl,

 

but, time will tell if it flops or not... and gamecube didn't flop. nintendo never had a fiscal quarter in the red with gamecube... which can't be said of xbox 360 (2 billion in the red) granted though, ps2 did dominate the market

... its because nintendo fell back on the $ it made off of the n64.... and xbox 360 is released at a loss to m$, they make the $ back off of software sales, same with ps3.... oh, and alot of the "hits" you listed, came out for other systems too.... and the rest are kids games, there were like 2 that were good 1st party releases in that list, but i can live with out playing another mario game.......

since mario 64 was the first true 3d platformer, the genre wouldn't be what it is if not for nintendo.

 

Thats the first Nintendo statement in this thread that I agree with :censored2: All of console gaming can take a bow to Nintendo, they paved the way to mass gaming as we know it. I would never forget the systems I had before it, ColecoVision being my favorite, but yes Nintendo did bring a new era, until Sega and Sony came along and kicked their ass :lol:

That video was creepy.. with that bgm that is.

 

my fav highlights

 

PS3: .. and by the way my vibrating features have been disabled.

Wii: .. I'm just as cute as a button.

PS3: I'm multilayered, well rounded for multiple players.

Wii: .. All you have to do.. is touch me and you'll have the time of your life.

 

Youtube comment highlights

 

"wow the wii is a dirty bimbo {censored} i'll take the ps3 at least she's intelligent"

 

"Both of those chicks are annoyng as hell. And those Mac commericals are the stupidest things I ever saw, they are basically outright lying to people about thier competetors products. f*** apple, f*** wii, f*** fat chicks, and f*** blondes."

 

"Yea...f***...blonds....yea!! Don't f*** fat chicks though."

 

"well said."

fair enough. but since mario 64 was the first true 3d platformer, the genre wouldn't be what it is if not for nintendo. and as far as "kid's games" ....if it's fun, i'll play it

 

 

no, I was saying n64 was great, but they messed up after that, dreamcast pwned, then ps2 killed that and the other, and the cube.... need i even say anything other than that..... no. goldeneye 007 on n64, tom clancy, etc, good stuff, and then game cube.... grr, although teh ironicism is that teh wii strikes me as a cross between a child's game system and an adult simulator.... (no i dont like pixel porn, at all, people who like that {censored} should get a life, or sumthin like that.... ) but still..... ;) maybe it will be fun, maybe it will get people to dev, your only as good as your last hit (witch has been a long time in coming for nintendo, and dont even utter the words nintendogs)

ever notice that sega makes games as a second party nintendo developer now? hmmm, yea, that's kicking ass

 

and i've never played nintendogs, no interest in it

 

"legend of zelda :wind waker" was a great gamecube game. only bad thing about it in my opinion, is that it was too short. i enjoyed the artistic style, it was like directing a movie

 

personally, i think nintendo needs to reacquire the RARE (killer instinct, DK country, goldeneye, perfect dark, conker) liscense. nintendo gave up a lot of sweet games when they let them go... and RARE's new games on xbox and ps2 have sucked (perhaps due to losing nintendo's influence in the design process? hmmmmm)

a Thread of 3 ppl only?

 

hahaha

'

ok im an xbox owner, i wouldnt have buyed it if couldn't be moded, now it has a 200 Gb HD with like 60 games inside, a complete media center it can connect with my MCE2005 computer and stream live tv like a tivo with life pause and etc, also can play any kind of dvd dvdix etc, and yes it play games, usually halo and tennis.

 

I was thinking on buyinmg the 360 coz PS3 is too costly for me, i can sell mi xbox now and get some 300 or 350 dollars (im sure of it dont disagree), and recently i saw the video of Asassin's Creed and was Omerized!... i mean WOW!

 

but really it wil be launched on pc too, soooooooo.

 

What i would like of the consoles? what them give to me i could not find in a PC?

 

Fast and easy fun with friends and family, is the answer i think.

 

So wich console appears to be the funniest to use... Wii, and it isnt pricey..

 

About the games, yes, we will not see portings easily, but i think this control really is a revolution, and real decent and fun games will be tailor made specifically to get all the juice from this controls, unique games you will not see in the 360 or the sony behemut. No, its no time for Hyperrealist, its time for fun for me.

 

Sony Homebrew? hahaha i would love to see the Giant corporation doing that. BTW havent u noted PS3 will not be out Nov 17 as announced?

 

And im 37 have a family and kids, so i look forward to use the Wii with all of them.

 

And i really hate mario's games. :censored2:

Its already done, their even going to let you create your own games :censored2: You can burn games for the 360 now so it would be a good upgrade for you, and let the kids play the XBox. By the way a thread could consist of just 1 person, and the PS3 will win whenever it comes out :tomato:
