Montgomery Markland Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 Between the PS3 and the 360, 360 wins so far... I suspect my vote might change over the course of the next 12 months. I haven't tried the WII yet. My favorite console game so far in this generation is on the PS3 though, Uncharted. Thanks for the awesome avatar Jorian!

Oerwinde Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 PS3 definitely has the edge on the hardware front, especially now that Blu Ray has won the HD format war. But hardware does not a console make. 360 has the edge software wise, with both a larger library and for the most part, better games. This gap is starting to even out though, and I see the ps3 catching up much like the psp is catching up to the ds. Xbox live marketplace is also much more user friendly than the playstation store. I currently only own a 360, but will likely buy a ps3 when I get an HDTV, as you get a cheap high end blu-ray player with a free video game console built in. The area between the balls and the butt is a hotbed of terrorist activity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tale Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 Where is my Nintendo DS and PSP options? Both are far superior platforms to any of the ones included in the poll.

Kaftan Barlast Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 No, they're not. The PSP have no games and the DS only has kiddy games like Cooking Mama or boring puzzle games. The PS3 has the best hardware, but the 360 wins because it has the best games. The Wii is a second-rate console aimed at younger and casual players, so it's completely uninteresting.

Zoma Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 No, they're not. The PSP have no games and the DS only has kiddy games like Cooking Mama or boring puzzle games. Ouendan series begs to differ. Apparently you have no hot-blooded spirit! Puzzle Quest isn't exactly far from boring either as a puzzle game with its sequel, Galactrix looking promising as well.

Tale Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 (edited) No, they're not. The PSP have no games and the DS only has kiddy games like Cooking Mama or boring puzzle games. Did it suddenly start leaking 4chan in here? The "PSP has no games" schtick died a year ago. Give it a rest. Whether we're talking installments of major franchises like Silent Hill, Grand Theft Auto, Metal Gear Solid, the upcoming God of War, the numerous RPGs that outnumber the offerings of the PS3 and 360 combined, or even fighters such as Tekken, the claim hasn't held merit for an age. What, not enough FPS and GTA wannabes for your liking? Edited February 29, 2008 by Tale "Show me a man who "plays fair" and I'll show you a very talented cheater."

Hurlshort Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 I would say the claim that the PSP has no games still holds a bit of water, moreso because its lacking good handheld games. FPS and GTA style games don't translate well onto a small screen, at least not in my eyes, and that seems supported by reviewers. The DS has been a lot more successful at making full use of the small screen. I also don't see how puzzle and tactical battle games qualify as "kiddie" titles. Sure, they don't have adult themes, but I don't need everyone of my games to be The Witcher. I've owned both handhelds, and the PSP never managed to wow me with a game. The DS, on the other hand, has a unique stable of games that you can't find anywhere else, including consoles and the PC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walkerguy Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 Odd that PS3 is suffering so far with 0%, especially with the fact that HD-DVD has had massive failure. I voted for the Xbox 360 and think the Wii is a lame attempt at not quite exactly, but you could say "virtual" gaming. Not at all, really- but you know what I mean.

astr0creep Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 I haven't played any new gen consoles except for the DS. However I do have my sights set on a PS3 for a few reasons: 1- Free internet features such as multiplayer for most games. 2- Blu-Ray 3- All good games on 360 will see the day on PC, which I also own(and prefer over any console) 4- The upcoming library of games, including FF13, MGS4, KH3 and many others, in addition to the multi-system games. 5- Sixaxis is motion sensored much like the Wiimote but not as good. Still, it's better than the 360 imo. http://entertainmentandbeyond.blogspot.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theslug Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 I think the blu ray argument is pretty lame. Blu ray isn't accessible by the vast majority of people and even those who own a ps3 I kind of doubt all of them have the budget to buy blu ray dvds and watch them on their giant 42 inch 1080i high def tv in their mansion sipping on pinacoladas and all that nonesense. Although I have little knowledge of it isn't it a broken technology? Touting to fit 50 gigs on a single dual layered disk yeah I'll believe that when my pr0n collection is on it and I'm selling them to make millions. There was a time when I questioned the ability for the schizoid to ever experience genuine happiness, at the very least for a prolonged segment of time. I am no closer to finding the answer, however, it has become apparent that contentment is certainly a realizable goal. I find these results to be adequate, if not pleasing. Unfortunately, connection is another subject entirely. When one has sufficiently examined the mind and their emotional constructs, connection can be easily imitated. More data must be gleaned and further collated before a sufficient judgment can be reached. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hurlshort Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 Eventually Sony's "home" setup could be great. But the PS3 has quite a few aspects that are going to be great "eventually". Eventually I'll want a Blu-Ray drive, eventually they'll have a stable of good titles... For now, the 360 is king though. They've got solid games and a great marketplace.

FPS and GTA style games don't translate well onto a small screen, at least not in my eyes, and that seems supported by reviewers. Good thing I wasn't saying it's a lot of FPS and GTA games, that was a rhetorical statement about how that's pretty much the only thing it lacks is a lot of FPS and GTA clones. As for your "supported by reviewers:" http://www.metacritic.com/games/psp/scores/ 4 of the 5 games I specifically referred to scored over an 85. This is all ignoring the plethora of games built around short bursts, including Portable Ops and Dark Ressurection There's a ton of high scoring games on the system. If you want to compare >= 85 vs the DS, you'll find the DS only has 2 more. "Show me a man who "plays fair" and I'll show you a very talented cheater."

Krookie Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 The PSP doesn't even belong in this argument. Handhelds are a totally different type of console and neither the DS or PSP were an option in the pole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
