Sorry, must ask. Which one: 360, Wii, or PS3?

Question

X360 is out already, but already feels ancient. Halo is a great thing for the system, but that is the only great hype about it & is sad. All the other games are trite & bore me. Will it melt into my carpet if left on for too long.

Wii is soon to debut, but will I be inclined to buy it? I love the new controller & ability to dowload "older skool" games of retrolutionary history, but the surge of kidde games turns me off. I prefer Nintendo action adventures like MP3: Corruption, Zelda: TP, & Red Steel.

As for the PS3, why is it a inflated piece of hardware? The newest PS2 model is small & sleek. But the next-gen Sony will be bloated like the 360. Also, will PS3's quality beat PS2's? I won't buy the "next best thing" if it doesn't beat its uncle. It too; will it melt if it gets too hot?

Answer 1

Wii, hands down.

The PS3 has the best tech. specs. overall, but at $600? The blu-ray format will hold a lot more data than the current gen or any of the next gen, and hints at future innovation in the amount of data put into games. It most definitely "beats its uncle," but at this time the PS3 seems full of unnesecary frills that dont' do alot but raise the price tag.

The XBox 360 is anything but ancient. With graphics that will compete (though they are weaker) with the PS3 and an already impressive game line-up and an HD enhancement on the way, not to mention XBox Live, which is the best online support for a system thus far, the 360 is a strong, yet far underrated competitor. The price, though high, is still less than the PS3, and with most of the hardware glitches worked out by now, it will be a much sturdier bet for the price.

And now to the wii. The line-up at launch is to say the least incredible. There are games such as red steel and Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess for hard-core gamers,the "kiddie games" for the lil' tykes, and other titles that meet in the middle. With full motion sensitivity, the wii is a true innovation to gaming. The design is compact (about the size of three DVD cases stacked atop one another) and it will fit in tight spaces thanks to the slot loading device. Though it is somewhat prone to breaking the wii is reinforced with steel plating on the inside(thus it is three DVD cases, not two). Now we come to the all-important price tag. At $250 the wii is by far the cheapest system, and with a game included, is the only system that is bundled with one. Once you spend alot of money on the console, how much are you going to want to spend on games? Unlike the other systems, Nintendo has guarnteed that all first party(games produced by Nintendo) will not cost more then $50 before taxes, though second and third party titles are at the discretion of the producing company.

Seeing all this, you might be able to make your decision more easily. Though the 360 and PS3 have more power, the wii will be cheaper now and later, and will is more innovative. It is a breath of fresh air that the stagnant gaming industry needs.

Answer 2

All three of the systems have their strong and weak points, but I think the Wii is the best overall. Of course the rarphics don't campare to the xbox 360 or the PS3 with it's blue-ray DVD player, but they are getting better and with a price tag of $250, it is a lot cheaper than the other two. Also, with its innovative new controller with motion sensors is just plain awesome! Many of the games are great and I'm especially looking forward to the new Zelda game. Many people refer to Nintendo games as kiddie games, but why is that such a bad thing? Many of the games are great anyways. The Wii will also have online capability and downloadable games of past Nintendo games.

The PS3 is nice, but many won't want to dig that deep into their pockets and pay the price tag of $600. It really has some sweet graphics but with only 400,000(maybe even less) available at launch, and many Sony fans out there, it's pretty unlikely you'll get one this year. Nintendo has 1 million ready so there's more of a chance to get the Wii. The PS3 also has problems already since they recently found out that it doens't support some of the older Playstation games.

Overall, if you're willing to pay for the PS3 it will be worth it. The 360 had a nice quality but not many of the games interest me. The Wii really thought of everything with the new controller, downloadable classics, a sleek design, and great launch titles. This is juct my opinion, but I think the Wii is by far the best

Answer 3

You moron, hopefully your husband didn't tell you that or else your husband is completely retarded. The xbox games ARE compatabile with the 360 you just need the harddrive(and xbl account for the update) smarty pants. If you were a gamer you would know that. There are certain games that aren't, but microsoft is expanding the list at all times.

And with this melting this, that's such bullshit. You can buy an intercooler from gamestop, it happens to computers as well. If Microsoft would have just put in more fans in the system there would be no problem, and I bet Sony will have the same problem.

The 360 has good game selection there's going to be halo 3, halo wars, there's gears of war, cod3, vegas, etc. No one can ever look aside of halo.

I will always stick with the 360 just because the game selection fits to me and then the wii because it's fun. But the ps3 just doesn't appeal to me, gta already went to the 360 so that covers me. That's the only thing I liked on it. It's too overpriced for no reason other than a shitty dvd player in it and everyone's getting ripped off on it. Then Nintendo's coming in and also ripping you off for $250 since the other prices are up so much just because they can.

Yep.

Answer 4

The Xbox 360 is anything but ancient, its the best of the three systems. Xbox Live is better than ever, great games, awesome graphics, comfortable controller, and most of the bugs have been worked out. The PS3 isn't worth $300 much less $600, at E3 the system had tons of problems, including that the controller didn't live up to the hype and the system would overheat in less than 4 hours. It had many problems and I doubt if all the bugs were worked out in 6 months. Plus when the 360 had its overheating problems(for consoles made only in 2005) Bill Gates paid for the repairs out of his own pocket, when Sony had problems with the PS2, Sony said pay up or get another console. And the Wii is worth $350, so the $250 price tag is a steal.

Gears of War VS. Resistance VS. Red Steel=Xbox 360

$400 VS. $600 VS. $250=$250(Nintendo Wii)

HD-DVD VS. Blu-Ray VS. None=HD DVD(Xbox 360)

Processing Power=PS3

Accessories=Xbox 360

Halo 3 VS. Killzone 2 VS. Zelda: TP=Halo 3(Xbox 360)

Controller=Nintendo Wii

Xbox Live VS. PS3 Online VS. Wii Online=Unknown

Xbox 360=4
PS3=1
Nintendo Wii=2

Winner: Xbox 360
Runner Up: Nintendo Wii

In my opinion the only 2 consoles worth picking up are the Xbox 360 and the Nintendo Wii. The Wii is all about the controller and old school games. And the 360 has power and great games and online play on it's side.

Answer 5

ps3- Many people are saying that this is the best console that there is going to be... Me I say not. The ps2 did not have many good games that were only for the ps2, and many of the ports were better for the other two systems. Unless you are a high-definition freak with $600 to throw away than it serves no purpose to you. Only reason for the high price is their stupid blue-Ray dvd drives, I don't know about anybody else but if I buy a game system, I'm going to use it to play games, not dvds.

X360- The older of the next gen. Would have been a better marketing strategy for them to release halo 3 around the same time as the release of the Wii and ps3, but anyway... This is the better system if you are a high def freak, that actually likes good games even if the graphics are a tad worse than the ps3. Possibly better online system, but this has not been proven yet.

Wii- My favorite of the three, mainly because I'm biased because I've been a Nintendo fan for a while. Revolutionary game play with the new WiiMote. Although from what I read its not as good as PC with FPS, it still looks great. For the not so high def freak, that prefers standard Nintendo quality video games such as Zelda, Mario, and SSBB.

Answer 6

My husband and Son (the son is 16) say that the PS3 will outshine the 360 AND Wii.
My husband thinks the XBOX was a piece of garbage, from the get-go. They, both, are gamers and my husband is in the Computer Industry. (NOT gaming end, tech end)
They both agree that the PS2 graphics are higher quality and that the PS3 will, most likely, be as good........probably better. The only draw-back, to the PS3 will be cost.
Also, the XBOX games are NOT compatible with the 360. This means that you spent upwards of $60, per game, for games you now find are useless.
The PS2 games will be compatible with the PS3, thus making the $60+ for the games worth the cost of the new unit.
Their favorite games are 'Halo','Samurai Warriors' and 'Silent Hill'.

Answer 7

U are retarded. PS3 is cheaper than it should be it has BLU-RAY player, which are going alone for no less than 800$.Now i will point out why u are a frickin moron retard crap eater for saying the other stupid comments u made. Wii? Kiddie? Now i like every zombie killin, blood squirting gore fest just as much as the next guy, but if games like Mario and Pikmin Animal crossing game because they are quote "cutesie", or "childish", than u are missing out. U wouldnt be gaming right now had the NES and Mario not single-handedly saved the gaming industry. Now for the 360. First off, if u are not a total idiot ( like I know u are) and leave the 360 on for 16 hours straight, it will not blow up. Now i will list 10 awesome 360 games.Gears of War, Elder Scrolls, Ghost Recon, Lost planet, Mass Effect,Dead rising, Call of Duty 2, Call of Duty 3, Blue Dragon, and Halo 3. thank u for ur time

Answer 8

I believe I answered a question very similar to this yesterday. I am going to sum it up by telling you the ps3. The nintendo yes...way too many kiddy games. XBox360..i own one..but will still be buying a ps3. I want the ps3 more than i ever wanted the xbox360..yes i love the halo. But when you have games like grandtheftauto metal gear solid need for speed. Also..rainbox6:vegas is also coming out for ps3. The fact that ps3 has bluray is a hugeee deal. ITs hd-dvd. It is, will be, and will continue to be the cheapest blu-ray player for quite some time. The ps3 will destroy ps2..you can play all games from ps1, ps2 on the ps3. I heard you can even play psp games on it. To sum it up..ps3 hands down. C'mon people. Be serious.

Answer 9

PS3 all the way!! Im going to wait in line for this buy. I think this should be a hot seller due to the long 4 year wait, but also the new rendering bodies and tons of new featured games. The Nintendo i believe is going to be reaching a much younger crowd with games and graphics. Either way both systems are going to be new and improved from other systems on the market. The PS3 should he a hot seller. The size of the hardware is due to size increase in everything, fans, memory, processors. I think it should kick the ps2 to the curb. check out gamespot and goto ps3 videos. You will be blown away with the rendering capabilities. Way too cool.

Answer 10

Dont get the 360, that things sucks. Its very expensive, The Playstation 3 my couisin just got he put it down on the table followed all the instructions to put it togther and it never worked. I just bought a Wii yesterday and it is excellent and for its low price of 250 (In America) But its great. I reccommend it if you are going to get one. Good Luck!
