7th Generation Console Wars

[Gluey]

I ordered my Play station 3 on Saturday. it comes with Ghost Recon and rainbow 6 and a stupid Spiderman Blu-ray movie. I have a whole whack of other money I'm gonna spend on other games like Resistance Fall Of Man, Oblivion, Ratchet and Clank:Tools of destruction.

I can't wait until Home comes out in the spring! it's totally free right from the PS3 and has Sims like gameplay. I can invite my freinds from the Beatles forums to my virtual home and we can party to Beatles music!
thats just how cool the PS3 is.

To me Nintendo Wii is a novelty and has too much baby games and the Xbox 360 doesn't apeal to me because I had the original Xbox and was not very impressed by it.

I know theres a lot of bitching over the internet to what console is the best but I just think it's all opinionated.

PS3 has a free online network as long as you have an internet connection but with Xbox live you have to pay. The Wii is lots of fun but Nintendo is having problems with the shortages. Everyone is more exited about The Wii because it has the new revolutionary sensory remote but and its the CHEAPEST system out of the 7th generation consoles and appeals more to kids and parents can afford the system and have a choice of E rated games to buy for their kids.

In my opinion, PS3 will own. Not right now it will, l but when more amazing things like Home come out for it and the whole wii cabbage patch craze goes down yes the PS3 will be the best but still there will be many loyal 360 plays mainly because of the Halo trilogy.

I refrain from getting involved into petty console zeal -- it bores the shit out of me.

I grew out of that phase since I turned 14.

I remember when it was Nintendo vs Sega.  Sega had crap games; flashy, glitzy and devoid of character.

It had the monsters wrecking the
city one. I liked that.

Clearly you haven't played Streets of Rage 2, Shining Force II, Phantasy Star IV, Gunstar Heroes, Probotector (aptly titled "Contra: Hard Corps" in Japan & US), Alisa Dragoon, or Alien Soldier. If you did, you would retract that statement.

And Thunder Force IV was a Floly shoot 'em up.

Anyhow, here's some Probotector:

Anyone who says The Wii a Novelty and has baby games is immature. Enough said on that one.

Fact is, I'm 35 and I own the Nintendo Wii. The control system isnt a novelty, its bringing gaming back to human terms, you use movements instead of non-intuitive button mashing. Now its non-intuitive arm thrashing  

But seriously, you dont have to keep your hands cramped up together like with regular controllers, you can have them at a natural distance from each other.

The supply prob isnt that bad here is Australia, but as usual, advertising is crap and retail catalogues as usual are pushing sony and xbox and forgetting nintendo. Same with media.

Fun fact, I live down the road from Nintendo Australia. (You may worship me now)

I own numerous game systems. I would own a PS3, but they're too damn expensive with little games. Maybe when MGS4 is out I'll look into it. But it's online is pathetic at the moment too. That's why I own a 360.

Biased muppet. 

Why don't you try coming up with a good case before you act like an indifferent tosser who thinks his opinion on computer games is fucking gospel.

I played both systems, and I don't favour one over the other. You're missing a lot of priceless gems that way.

My point is that a super-duper console might have a shit collection of games, while an inferior console has some fun titles to play.

So while the Mega Drive has its share of bad apples, so does the Super Nintendo.

I have a Nintendo Wii

Was your "biased muppet" comment referring to my comments on PS3 or Peter's on Probotector?
