Official Console Debate Thread

What's with the graphics fanatics today?
Does no one care anymore about the story of the game?
Games can have good graphics and good stories too.
 
360 only has Live and a few good exclusive games going for it. Every game thats made for both consoles looks better on the PS3 too xD

360 is also, in my opinion, unreliable... I'd rather NOT buy one only to return it because it breaks or RROD like most of my friends have done. PS3 = quality, 360 = NOT

Turned on my PS3 for the first time in about four months, tried to play for a while and got bored very quickly. It's pretty much just a blu ray player with netflix for me. The only decent game I've played on it recently was Heavy Rain, and that even got boring after a little bit.

All in all, I don't see it improving. Ever.
PS3 = an Xbox 360 with a *censored.2.0*ty Blu ray and *censored.2.0*tier online that's free.
How can it's Blu-Ray be any different tell me?

And how's its online *censored.2.0*ty? I understand the no cross-game chat.
 
Okay, I'll give m full opinions here now.

Nintendo Wii: I received the Nintendo Wii as a Christmas present back in 2007 and I played it for 2 years after receiving it and I have not touched it since August last year.
The Wii is a very good console which I did have a lot of fun on but I prefer ''hand/normal controllers'' opposed to Motion Controlls or ''WAGLANN'' as some people here put it.
The Wii has a great variety of games to please most people (Hardcore to an extent and Casual). The 1st party games like Mario, Zelda, AC and Metroid are all great games, I never really cared for 3rd party games but a lot of them seem to be quite good.
Two new Wii games are coming out this year which I am probably going to buy, Super Mario Galaxy 2 and Metroid Other M.
The Wii doesn't have big hardware issues that I know of so that's always a plus.

PS3: Back in 2006 to 2007 I really didn't like the PS3 (probably since I was a Nintendo Fanboy back then xD) the games the had back then were not great, since then they now have a Fantastic library of games. I don't own a PS3 and I haven't played one in a while so there's not much more to comment on except the PS3 doesn't have many hardware issues.
Oh and the Blu Ray for PS3 is a good addition.

I haven't done Xbox yet because I just got out of bed and I'm tired and Xbox will take a while :P

They don't. Have you seen a side by side comparison of a cross platform game? They're identical.
The 360's and PS3's graphics cards are extremely similar, and run on the same technology developed by IBM. Their processing speeds are similar.

For me cross game chat is everything.

Blu-ray it's a joke. why does everyone care so much about looks? I'm quite happy with my regular DVDs no need to pay $10 more for a little better picture.

Blu-ray isn't a joke. More info can be put in a blu-ray disc. This is why the PS3 version of FFXIII is 1 disc while the Xbox version is 3 discs.

your really ignorant. blu ray is in no way a joke, the difference between dvd and blu ray is HUGE. blu ray is almost flawless, you can see every little detail. and liek the other guy said 50 gb of memory on one disc, thats awesome.

I've seen the comparison, someone wanted to show to me how different it was. And they weren't lying. I'll tell you now, the movie looked great.

The only thing stopping me from buying Blu-ray is that I don't have an HD tv in my room. (that and not having anything to play it on)
So because my tv is old and crappy, I don't feel the need to go and buy these. I'm quite happy to stick with regular dvds.

But just for gaming, blu ray is great, Ima use FF13 as an example.
On the ps3 FF13 fits onto 1 disk, with full 1080p graphics.
On xbox, it fits onto 3 disks, with roughly 576p graphics...

And it's upgradable, too, soon Sony will be puttin out a firmware update that lets you store an extra 30% more on there.

yeah thas understandable, not having the equipment, but i know most people by now do have atleast some kind of HD screen, im actually the only one in my house that has an hd tv :S but i always watched bluray on my ps3. ill probably end up buying a slim some day when i have extra money instead of buying a blu ray player. that way i can enjoy exclusives like uncharted and heavy rain.
 
Not going to read through 14 pages to see if im reposting someone elses opinion.
Mine stands as this

360 is what many "hardcore" gamers want in their console, but fails to be accessible for the most part
Wii is accessible, and as such appealed to casual gamers more, and hardcore gamers a bit less
PS3 was too pricy too early, and tried to be an all-in-one machine, once they got their price down to a level where they could penetrate the market, most people didn't see the benefit having already owned most of the PS3's good games on the 360.


As such, 360 wins for gamers, Wii is a close second, but wins overall, and PS3 would have done a lot better if they didnt take so long to penetrate the market.

And you are extremely stubborn I don't give two *censored.2.0*s over the "amazing" quality. FF13 is on one disk? Cool that is a plus for me I don't like FF13 it's a joke in my eyes, Maybe not for everyone but for me it is. I don't even have a HD TV.
