What Would You Choose? Options

Yeah......... PS3 owns nothing in system specs, well Wii but not 360. Do some reading on Sony's numbers, people have revealed the true numbers and its not impressive. Suffice to say PS3 IS NOT more powerful. Simple as that. Owns the 360, man your a n00b.

Well do you have any links to back up your claims?
I have a PS360 combo...for all you Wii60 people...
Oh and I am typing this in the PS3 browser...
Well lets look at the 360 and PS3 specs again
360=3 core 3.2ghz PPC
PS3=8 core 3.2ghz PPC64
360=500mhz ATI graphics 512mb shared with system
PS3=550mhz NVIDIA graphics 256mb dedicated to video
360=512mb DDR2? RAM shared with graphics
PS3=256mb XDR RAM dedicated to system...
they both have the same amount of ram, however they are using different kinds of ram and have distributed it differently. The PS3 uses a faster graphics card clock speed and obviously has a processor that is more powerful. The XDR Ram is considerably faster.

THE PURE NUMBERS ARE MISLEADING.
When you benchmark the systems or do side by side comparison, the 360 is better. Ps3 has larger numbers but it is a great challenge to develop in that environment and get the most out of it. it will be a rare example if you can find a game that will make use of the extra horsepower in a way that is impressive. for the most part, it will go to make up for the poor dev support by making room in ram for sloppy coding.

The development tools for the 360 are a godsend, and it uses GDDR3 ram, not DDR2...

The 360 might have lower numbers, but the hardware makes up for it. The GPU is the best out there, and it isn't limited to 256MB like the ps3. The lighting is why you will never see anything as good looking as Gears of War on the ps3, all you get is the cartoony Resistance: Fall of Man. NVidia Sucks anyway, even Nintendo knew that before building the gamecube.

No, the ps3 sounds more like a web server then a gaming rig. maybe someday it will come packaged with Solaris.

All of 2005 and nearly all of 2006 .. I said PS3 would be at the top because of the millions of people with Playstation 2's. If you're used to the PS2 and already have a collection, like their controllers, etc.. why would you want to switch? I had no doubt in my mind that Sony would come out on top this generation, even if they launched late.

Then the ball drops .. price.

Nobody expected it to cost so much. It literally changed everything. Just how much of the video game market is made up of HARDCORE gamers. The people who wait out in the cold or stay up all night or buy the newest video card and skipping lunch all week. Basic economy labels this as inelastic buyers. Those who would pay pretty much anything for a product.

Too bad for Sony, the video game market is elastic. The lower-end PS3 is twice as much as a Wii. What are parents going to buy their kids? The Wii.

Understand why the PS3 is so expensive, it's the BluRay drive. I don't know many "normal people" who have even heard of BluRay or HD-DVD, let alone know what it is. If I want a PS3 but have no use for a BluRay player, I'm still forced to pay for it. Sony deserved what they are getting. They got too cocky and thought they could force BluRay and the high-priced PS3.

i dunno i heard hideo kojima talk about how difficult it is to develop for the ps3 and he might be changeing his mind about mgs4 cause of this sonny just thought about themselves and bot about the comunity microsoft worked with development comapnies to create a great system to develop on. and sony messed up and you have heard they went with nvidia at last minute they screwed up big time. you know what i dont like sony dont get me wrong i love psp but it aint gonna cut it sony has alot of loyal fans and i know it i tell people sony isint as great as it once was. i deal with computers alot and the ones that give the most problems (brand wise) are sony and im talking about hardware. sony tries to get somethign make it look pretty and sell it i think. they just got soo big they care more about numbers than quality. as for the ps3 beiong stronger than the 360 its not much and as for the space on the disc what developer have you seen companing about disc space? and to top it off the blueray is slower loading. i think the ps3 is just a machine that sony tried too hard i will eventualy get one theres really no reason to get one cause it dosent grab my attention.

as for peopel companing about the wii not playing dvd's nintendo already comented on that and said it was makeing a premium version that played dvd's and well i really see no reason why microsoft and nintendo will be the leaders in this console war.

i will eventualy get a ps3. i dont care for a price drop like most people. i have the money to get a ps3. but i rather save it than spend it on a machine thats gonna give me soo little entertainment. ps3 isint really what im looking for. sony claimed soo much and delivered soo little. as for blueray great space but it would cut alot of the prices down if you make hddvd movies blueray is where sony is trying to make their money.

umm.... i dunno what else to say wii is awsome i recommend playing wario ware or what ever its called on it and for the kiddie games like people claim i have maybe one kiddie game but thats because its challenging and thats monkeyball i have metal slug and zelda and the wario one i dont htink its that kiddie of a system.


and for the people that are ps3 fans i guess they arnt really gamers.

Xbox 360 + Wii
Just picked up an Xbox 360 for the selection of games and price versus the PS3. The Wii has great fun factor and it'll keep my girlfriend happy.

[Probizzle]

i chose the 360 and the wii. the 360 manly because of xbox live and they have great games... the wii i picked up cuz of the controller and it looks fun to play. my dad loves to golf and i showed him wii sports and he started playing it with me. also the wii looks like a fun party game when your drunk.

-360+PS3

-The 360 is perfect for the price; excelent graphics, which are just as nice (if not the same... for those of you who are protagonists) or the same as the PS3, and you have the option of buying things YOU WANT. Take away all the different things you didn't want on the PS3, you'd probably have a $300-$400 machine.
-The PS3 because the wii looks like ass sorry, but I got to demo it for quite a while at another place during a party, and thoug the Wii is innovative, it just can't compare to the abilities of the 360 or PS3.
-"But it's got the numchuck controller..." and that's all it will ever have. I think nintendo is going in a half good and half bad direction.

"supergrafx" loves the PS3. He would burn the 360 and hates on the Wii. Seems to me he would hump his dog if it were wearing enough make-up. Name says it all.

XBOX 360 + Wii!!
First off, I've read numerous comparisons of games, such as COD 3, Fight Nights 3 and it doesn't surprise me that the reviews (Gamepro) state that the grpahics in the XBOX360 are slightly better...noticeable too.. some details.PS3 is overrated...all this big mean machine and it's being crappy right now. Xbox has delivered numerous fun games, including Gears of War. That game is insane.

The Wii in the other part has intuition to it. The remote is simply amazing...some games are not meant to be played on the Wii such as COD3 cuz it's hard but some others are very simple yet very fun such as the Wii sports. Game cracks me up.

So in conclusion. PS3 sucks for now. Price won't drop till next year since a price cut soon would hurt them since it was expensive to build that big piece of metal. LOL

-"But it's got the numchuck controller..." and that's all it will ever have. I think nintendo is going in a half good and half bad direction.

My thoughts exactly on the Wii and it's controller.
And I think Nintendo may be leaning too much to the half bad part of the Wii controls. I think they'll always work well with their first party games, but third party developers may have a harder time coming to a standard way for controlling their games. Little FPS and driving control discrepancies between games may frustrate the users.
If I was Nintendo I would be working VERY closely with third parties to ensure controls were as even and standard as possible for games doing the same basic things.

die ps3 die!

[clogicgmather]

voted for 360+wii, but heck who am i kidding? im a consolse whore and will probably buy a ps3 when they arrive in the u.k in march.

[eebeejay]

I'll take the Wii60 combo.

The 360 & PS3 are generally the same "type" of machines (high powered graphical powerhouses), so I'd take the one that's $200 cheaper, has a larger library, and more "exploitable", the 360.

The Wii is a different animal altogether. A new way to play, at an attractive price point.

lol
PS360 .
actually i was a sony/PS fanboy , but because of PS3 and screwed up things i turned to 360 . but i like many PS games that they dont have in other consoles (like MGS-Tekken-FF) thats why i chose PS360
