You won't be getting a PS3 anytime soon (ie before 2007) unless you want to pay someone on ebay for one. I saw a 60gb PS3 go for $15,100.00 CAN Dollars (13,137.00 US). Makes me wish I had camped like thousands of other ppl. But IMO the PS3 is better and will eventually have more software support than the Xbox 360 or the Wii.

Not neccesarily true. The Wii will have a lot more companys making games than the n64 or Gamecube ever had. Plus the Wii is going to have online supported games, the snazzy controller with motion detection for tennis and sword fightingish games.
Ill put ISK on it, that in two years, Nintendo will be a contender in the non-portable gaming industry again.

1. Microsoft has 30 billion dollars and they want to win.
2. Xbox has xbox live, ps3 has uhhhhhhhhhh, uhhhhhhhhh no service like live.
3. Sony has never won a format war (VHS/BETA), and they probally won't, so blue ray movies will became rare and uncommon soon.
3. Wow a 60gb hdd on a ps3? That is sad, I hooked an old 120gb to my 360.
The Wii has zelda, so I like the Wii, those controllers are weird, but cool. What ever I say is my own views and not of my corp. |

The only few things the ps3 has over the xbox is, oh and ill say now that my intel might be a bit old so i apolagise for being incorrect...
Blue-ray = Will be on par with the new hd-dvd thingy 360 will release so i hear
Bigger games selection (defunct) = It was mostly debated that there will be more games for ps3 but 360 has already bought and won over the devs.
bluetooth controller = oh yeah because its so much different from infrared
7 controller ports = Wait, how is that a good thing.
Great looking controller with force feedback/dual shock = Dual shock is microsoft owned (pwnt) plus great looking controller...yeah sure. (Controller was replaced with existing design and ripped off the insides of the wii deisgn)
Has more bigger numbers in the specs when i search up sites on googles = Shut-up

I already was planing on getting the Wii but now I have no choice!!! I must have it. Also I had my heart set on owning both the Wii and the PS3 and I will just will have to be in early 07'... But hey at least Sony is known for making an uber platform and then releaseing the good games 8 months later

1. sony revenue = 60 b microsoft revenue = 45b
"they want to win" so they're going to? lol
6th generation console sales:
ps2 = 111 million xbox = 24 million
7th generation sales:
ps3 = ~1million (400k in US alone) released 6 days ago in japan, 17 hours ago in us. 360= 6 million as of sep 06. their goal was 100 million by dec 06. released almost 1 year ago. lol. 2. ps3s online service = PlayStation Network Platform
3. sony along with philips created the most successful format in the world, rendering two other formats (vinyl, cassette tape) almost completely obsolete. its called the compact disc. its way too early to make blu-ray vs HD DVD arguements.
4. the xbox is now a relic. your external 120gb hdd arguement is irrelevant. this is a comparison of 7th generation consoles. the ps3 has two versions. one with a 20gb hdd, one with a 60gb hdd. the xbox360 has a 20gb hdd and thats it!. rofl.
Wow, a 20gb hdd on a xbox360? my ps3 has a 60gb hdd. =) oh thats right, only the premium 360 comes with a whopping 20gb hdd. the core system comes with no hdd. you have to buy it seperate.
i keep editing cause im remembering all this ****. sony dominated the american market, the european market and the asian market with the ps2. im not saying 7th generation consoles are going to have the same result. we need a couple more months once the wii's been out a bit. microsoft has been *****slapped out of the equation. they have no control over the most important market.. the asian market. any of you seen photographs of an xbox store in japan?

ill just address a couple things you posted ghoul cause i agree with some of what you said.
check out a history of video game consoles. 4th generation was snes, genesis etc.
if you have a more reputable source than cnn, id like to see it regarding # of units sold. 400k have been sent to the US. an additional 600k by christmas.
you're right, sony arent the licensed holders of the CD. philips is. to cut out all the bull****, philip invented the format then hired sony to polish it up and market it. nevertheless sonys contribution is immeasurable.
i agree on the HDD statement. 20gig, 60gig, 120gig. i dont really care. i just want to play games. i was just making a point. ill be purchasing a Wii in 2 days. ill let you know how red steel is. =P

Sony has been flogging the same old dying hores since 97 and now its even closer to death, Xbox360 has got the edge by being a yr old and its got sum stunning HD games and Xbox Live, Wii has great graphics, sum stunnign games on the cards and again Nintendo are changign the way u play videogames to go along with it.
sony foolishly went into the handheld market against nintendo and well we all knwo that wouldnt work, look way back to the original monochrome GB, gamegear and lynx as full color and backlight, where are they now? PSP is beign outsold 4-1 by DS simply because its different and the games ar emor eliek what "we used to play in the good old days" peopel cant wait for the monkey island type games to come out and anyone who's played Another code will know what i mean.
as for the actual consoles graphics have gotten just about as good as u can ever get them for a few good years until the next storage medium is determined u jsut have to look at wether u want to sit hitting buttons to swing ur bat/samurai, press left and right on ur analogue to steer ect or if u actually want to really PLAY ur games by beign more involved that what u could be before.
yes metal gear solid will look amazing but other than snake having 1000 more hairs per square inch on his chin the control is still the same, load up, hit buttons and blah blah blah, how abotu to use a strangle wire u manouver upto them and actually flip the wire over their neck and cros the pads over to do it. make u feel liek u really are snake for once.
i'm sure the peopel who read the lads mags who get paid nice bonus fo rpraising PS3 when they never even played it will go out and buy it fo rthe same old tat, the rest of us will be off enjoying ourselves in a whole new experience leaing the Ps3 guys behind just as DS users did PSP

First, no, there is no thread dedicated to comparing the three consoles to each other.
Second, the point of the thread is to determine which console is worth spending money on. They all seem to have good points:
XBox360: Released first, LOTS of computing power, setup for HD PS3: Market leader, large HD, unique and powerful BlueRay Wii: Revolutionary interface, lower price, different differentiation strat.
All three consoles have something unique, I'm just looking to see what each one has to offer. -- The universe is governed by the aggressive use of force. Hows this for a little note! Oh, and YARRRRR!! - Petwraith I prefer the term RAWR - Xorus |

I am getting a PS3 because I like immersive console gaming. The 'fancy controller lolz' camp are getting a Wii. The console FPS jockeys and 'must have first new console which comes out' zombies got an XBox360.
Value for money is down to what you want. There is no comparison to be made. ----------

If you're going to buy one right now, as in this month.
Xbox360 = Lots of decent games, would be worth buying right now.(Dead Rising, Oblivion, Gears of War, DoA Xtreme 2*Cough* <_< >_>)
PS3 = Has ONE decent game, and that is Resistance Fall of Man.
Nintendo Wii = Has a few decent games when it comes out.(Red Steel, Zelda, Wii Sports, Trauma Center*If it is as good as the DS one*)
Things will change in time, better games..Worse games..Etc.
Trying not to be biased or anything.

If by 'flogging the same old dying horses since 97' you mean 'wtfpwning the market with the best console since 95', you're spot on.

Never Forget! Sony are idiots. The things they do right are the exception, not the rule.

Well, I don't play games with bats or 'samurais' or steering, so I'm going to go with 'these are arbitrary examples of things which will be done better on the Wii, STFU'. The counterpoint being, when playing the cinematic immersion level games available on the PS, would you rather have a simple interface where you focus on the game world rather than how you interact with it, or have a hard line between things you can and cannot do by reenacting them in real life, thus breaking all the immersion?

Metal Gear Solid is teh suck, but aside from that, your idea is horrendous. Switching from standard controls to a gimmick for one particular action or set of actions will absolutely wtfpwn any sense of immersion. Now, if you are looking to create a game that is all about doing the physical actions in real life, like Red Steel, obviously this is what the Wii is designed for. But taking a perfectly good game and adding fluff like this on top is a Bad Thing.

Let's ignore for the moment that the games leaving people behind are on the PS for the most part. Silly little arcade games, even if they have been made an order of magnitude more advanced and brought into your living room, are the past. At best, they will become the present again, along with the games seen on the other consoles. No-one is being left behind.

It's important to note that due to VERY limited financial resources, I will not be able to buy another console until the next generation comes out, so whichever I buy has to be worth the money and have lasting power as far as new and great games are concerned. -- The universe is governed by the aggressive use of force.

X-box...correction... Halo-box is what it should have bin named.If it wasnt for this game the x-box would have bin flushed down the toilet.A boring single player game with repetitive scenery,online halo well that was much better.
OH and like microsoft is hurting for cash,forcing people to fork over more cash for the extra Halo levels which turn out to be crap as well.
But i give credit to x-box for halo cuz after all software is what sells hardware,like sega dreamcast.sonic the hedgehog...lol.Nintendo..paper Mario..to easy.
Sony will contunue to own the market like the the ps2 did/GTA/metalgear/grandtourismo..good choice for a launch console.
But sony had better smartin up with the online play or else

as far as i know, Sony only "won" the "format" wars on the CD media because it was Philips that actually did the work, and Philips are currently the 100% "winners" on all format wars there have been. and Philips are currently backing HD-DVD, not Blu-ray.
its not definitive proof that blu-ray is doomed to fail, but it shows a **** good chance.

i wouldnt invest in HDDVD or Blu-Ray yet. odds are both will get owned by the perfectly good DVD format that has a installed base bigger then the VCR and close to that of the microwave oven.
also the new DVD formats arent a major upgrade to DVD, DVD was a HUGE upgrade to VHS however HD-DVD and Blu-Ray are not huge upgrades to DVD. whoppdie do high def, and your typical home electronics consumer cant tell the difference other then the TV is bigger.
