Answer 1

The console war was over the minute they revealed the PS3 at E3. At this point in time it was only about half finished. They had it next to a 360 and ran the same Unreal graphics engine through both of them. Needless to say the half finished PS3 wiped the floor with the completed 360. If you could have seen the look on the Microsoft staff's faces......
The Wii will be the weakest of the three.

PS. someone has mentioned that the PS3 will be very expensive. This is untrue, the price has already been revised twice. Also Sony have in no way copied Nintendo. This motion detection system was already in place on the Resident Evil 4 Chainsaw Controller. Also the PS3 controller is a wireless version of the PS2 controller (the best controller ever!) so unless Sony have a time machine they have not copied anyone.

I think that Sony will always be the industry leaders as they always have always consistently released high quality consoles. The Nintendo Gamecube, in my mind is a great machine. Sometimes it even graphically beats the PS2 but whereas the PS2 has hundreds of great games, on Gamecube they can be harder to find (I should know, I have a PS2 and a Gamecube sitting next to each other) because of this and the use of mini-discs (which prevents it from running DVDs or CD's) it can be an inferior machine. Both X-Box's were riddled with problems when they were first released (just like Windows!). The 360 was rushed, and it shows.

Answer 2

The Nintendo Wii is winning and has been winning gained the console war. that is somewhat no opposition. only look on the gross revenues. that's no longer an opinion, it somewhat is a fact. The Wii has offered greater instruments in North u . s . and Japan than the PS3 and the 360. specific, the 360 and PS3 have great video games and greater efficient hardware, however the Wii trumped those structures as a results of fact it controlled to learn an charm for the duration of a much broader demographic of human beings different than hardcore game enthusiasts. What additionally helped replaced into the indisputable fact that it had this style of low base value whilst it got here out, human beings could purchase them as supplementary structures. i be conscious of a lot of human beings, who own 360s or PS3s alongside with Wiis. i'm no longer asserting that's the greater ideal gadget, besides the undeniable fact that it specific is the main commonplace and the main powerful, to that end making it the victor of the console wars.

Answer 3

Well they say PS3 is far superior than XBOX when it comes to NexGen technologies and works great with HDTV... but then something sinks in..

and you realize you are not insane enough to buy that cool HDTV you saw at the expensive showroom jus' coz you want to see your PS3 at its pinnacle.. RESULT: X360 and PS3 are even at this point

Nintendo WII?! Thats the kid-stuff! :P :P

PS: I aint a gaming guru or anything !!

Microsoft will be relasing an add-on in the form of the HD-DVD player for the HD experience some time soon.. RESULT: they definitely are even nOW!

PS3 is priced way too high! and for users in this part of the world (Pakistan/South Asia) where there would be no official launches it will be priced at somewhere around 800$ as the XBOX 360 piracy enabled edition costs around 400 - 500$ even now!

The BlueRay disc media is expensive than the normal dvd..

Sony might have got the top japanese game developers on its consoles and titles like final fantasy under its belt but EA has got some major share of the popular genres!

In short.. Sony might have got the tech edge but then again how many of us would be playing the games on our HDTV's !?

Answer 4

Unfortunately I think it will be XBox cos they have now exclusive on line gaming rights on the GTA games and GTA is the system seller.
Sony had first release before on these games and I personally feel that's what made them number one selling console.
Xbox had the better graphics and on line possibilities and still lost in sales to the PlayStation.In my mind due to the GTA factor.
It's the only adult game out there and I for one am not willing to buy a less version of the game just to stick with Sony.
I am not alone as a GTA fan.The game outsells all others hands down so it's a big mistake of Sony to neglect the GTA followers.

Answer 5

i think nintendo wii will win this round. sony is laughable because of their cost. yes, they put a lot of stuff in it, but few people are going to buy it at that price. 360 seems to break down a lot. my buddies' does anyway. but wii just seems like it will be more fun. and you can download those old games you loves but haven't played in a while. (not legally anyway, ROM freaks!) and the controls are totally revolutionary in design. i find it hilarious that sony decided to copy nintendo's motion sensing controller too. SO GO NINTENDO! it's time to retake the throne as king of games!

Answer 6

here in england, definitely the ps3, its being hyped massively, having said that sony will have to improve things a bit cos I am on my 3rd ps2, yet my old ps1 is still going strong after years of use, they will also have to bring down the price as their are rumours its gonna cost mega bucks!

Answer 7

My bet will be either PS3 or MS 360, but more on PS 3

Answer 8

PS3 won before it even launched

Answer 9

I'm still using me ZX Spectrum... I'm getting good at ghostbusters
