Now as you all probably know, the new XBOX 360 is coming out this holiday season and the new Playstation 3 Spring 2006. Since I love everybody in the forums I would like to know your opinions. Should I buy the
new XBOX or wait for the PS3? I know its still some months to their launch but I need to start saving money! :D
-
Umm neither. They just made the xbox and ps2 stronger and threw in wireless controllers.
Nintendo Revolution all the way!

Personally, I dont think that the Revo can beat either of
the 2 other consoles. I mean the only good game for the
GC was Metroid and it doesnt compare to Halo or
Devil May Cry 3. I think that the Revo is like a PS2 with
new face, yeah you can play the great classics but were
in a new millenia and we need great new 3D games that only the new XBOX & PS3 can provide.

*laughs his ass off*
Metriod alone is better than almost any game released on the xbox or ps2. Halo was VERY repetitive with the combat, I don\'t know what people saw in the game. Halo 2 was just a sword and 2 weapons... nothing new...
Devilmay cry has gone downhill since the second one...
Zelda: The wind waker was probably the best game I have ever played right after Zelda: the ocerina of time. Nintendo never fails to be original with their new games. For example in the new zelda game link will be able to turn into a wolf.
On the other hand their games like GTA and Halo that change like 2 things and throw it out there for people who don\'t know better to buy.
Metriod beats the other games because 1/2 the time you don\'t know what you\'re doing or what you\'re supposed to do. Then when you finally come up against a boss the combat turns into the funnest thing ever.
So, please, tell me. Why can the xbox and ps3 offer \"great new games\" and the nintendo can\'t. Because if adding 2 handed weapons and a sword to a game then throwing it out there as #2 is the great new games you\'re talking about, I\'ll stick with nintendos old games that have something completely new with every release and add a whole new twist to the game.
Same goes with the systems. Whats new about the xbox360 well lets list it:
Xbox360
Wireless controllers
Stronger
New look
Faceplates (wow)
PS3 (IT EVEN LOOKS THE SAME FOR CRYING OUT LOUD!!!)
Wireless Controllers
Stronger
Nintendo
Stronger
New Look
Wireless Controllers
Backwards Compatable with all nintendo games released before
Free online play for all it\'s games (yes there will be an online super smash bros, look at #1 in the world it\'ll be me ;))
Can still take Gamecube controllers
-
i have been with nintendo since snes, and im not about to leave it.
Metroid kicks all ass.
Super Smash Bro\'s melee kicks all ass
Wind Waker was _INSANE_
Resident Evil remakes were really good :D
And you cant deny that gamecube had the most comfortable controller
-
I am a Nintendo lover myself. I games I love the most were on the Super Nintendo. But yeah.. I will buy the Nintendo Revolution as soon as it comes out.. just hope it has a few RPGs for me :).
-
that is my thing, rpgs, there really haven\'t been any good rpgs since the ps era, not to say all games sinc ethen suck, but alot of really good prgs were released back to back to back, now we have quality rpgs far and few in between
-
Well..I guess I\'ll say it....Nintendo Rocks!! I mean come on, metroid prime and metroid prime 2 kicked major butt. And Efflixi..free online for everything? \\o/ We\'ll see who gets 1st on super smash bros ;)
Though I will also be owning a 360 because my dad is a huge TES fan and wants to get the fourth oblivion game for both pc and 360 :rolleyes:

Everything nintendo makes at least. If sega makes a game and charges monthly nintendo has no power over it.
Oh and robin I\'ve never met somone who can beat me 1v1 on super smash bros. 1 of my friends comes really really close but I still win like 75% of the time against him. And hes no pushover, I\'m the only person we both know that can beat him. :)
So, once the revolution comes out we\'ll see whos the best. ;)

\"Easy expansion: A bay for an SD memory card will let players expand the internal flash memory.
The secret weapon: The console also will have downloadable access to 20 years of fan-favorite titles originally released for Nintendo 64, the Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES) and even the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES).\"
Wow, that\'s actually pretty cool. I\'m actually thinking of buying nintendo next console war, now. I\'ve got a PC, so I don\'t need an XBOX, and 400 kids I know will get a playstation and play all the fun multiplayer games.
I feel like a redcoat now :]

yeah that\'s my delima: i\'ve been with nintendo my entire life, and have always thought is had better systems and controlers (i hate those playstaion controlers, all of the buttons are in the most difficult places to reach. the x box controler is even worse, it\'s so big and heavy, and wastes so much space with useless buttons like the black and white ones...that right there was enough for me to choose gamecube over the other 2), but i want oblivion on a console so badly!
i think maybe ill just get the revolution and then buy oblibion for 360 and borrow a friends 360 for about a month.

NINTENDO! WOO!!!!
*Ahem* What\'s wrong with the controllers? No more black and white buttons on the 360.
And I like all 3 consoles and all 3 controllers. but nintendo rocks them all :P

Actually, if you have a high end PC, Oblivion is suggested for the PC...But if you dont/cant get a high end machine, heck.
-
See... it\'s cool that you all love Nintendo I also love it,
heck I still have my NES. But my question didnt include
the Revo. I want to know which do you guys think is
better between the 360 and the PS3.
:rolleyes: Lets put it like this, which is the second best.
-
I don\'t get why people want ES4 on a console. If I could choose for a game being on console or pc I would almost always pick pc.
Also, I hated the ps1/2 controller with passion. My hands are pretty big and I\'ve got long fingers so when I would hold a ps controller my ring finger would lean on the parts with the knobs that stick out. And after like 15 mins of playing a ps my ring fingers would be suffering the worst cramps.
Oh also Kixie. In my earlyer post when I mentioned backwards compatability with all the systems I was talking about the download thing. But you can still use GC discs on the revolution, and controllers, and memory cards, :)
Oh pretz if I had to choose between the xbox and ps3 I would get the xbox. Just becayse of ES4. :)
-
Hmmm. Tough choice. They could both do better, in my opinion.
Now, what I wouldn\'t mind seeing was that open source console that was pitched a few years back. Like a DVD player, any company could make one, any shmo with a little knowhow and their open source game engines could have made a game. And it would have used USB controllers. Any USB controller, including mice, keyboards, flightsticks, whatever. It was to be more powerfull than any of the new systems. Too bad the project was canned. :( I don\'t even remember what it was called anymore.
Btw, Halo is fun and all, but N64 still kicks its rump with Perfect Dark. Slap Halo\'s shiny graphics on Perfect Dark just the way it is, and you have a far superior game, hands down. And Metroid rocks forever. :)
-
I reckon Xbox wil conquer cos microsoft made it and microsoft make best computers. The thing is the ps3s will have way more games with way worse quality so i reckon evryone will get a ps3. Thats wat happened befor when xbox, ps2 n gamecube all came out at the same time. Anyway, even if ps3 is bettr its still 2nd worst.

id rather have it on console so that i can bring it with me on trips and stuff (i don\'t have a laptop, and i doubt any laptop cheap enough for me could handle high end games) and my comp sucks... and i can\'t afford a better one (if i get a console, my brother and my parents will help pay for it), and finally, i\'d rather use a controller than a mouse... not sure how pc controllers are compatible with elder scrolls series anyway, i\'ve always used mouse for my games because i can\'t get pc controllers to work...
and i didn\'t know about the rev being able to play gc games, that\'s awesome! thanks for that info efflixi, definitly getting the rev now, i have alot of gc games i haven\'t beaten yet...(both metriods, pikmin 2, moh european assault, top gun...eventually the new zelda game...)

Is it me or is it like heaven finding a thread thats not all GAMECUBE SUUXXXOZ

Microsoft don\'t make computers at all. They make mice, keyboards, joysticks and the Halo-box (well, you could count that one as a computer, since it\'s just a crap Celeron machine in a black box). And they tried making an operating system, but nothing good came out of that attempt. Last I heard is they are still trying though, I guess they just don\'t know when to give up and stick with making mice and keyboards :P

DUDE YOU FORGOT ONE THING!!!! original games like mario, zelda, metriod, and street fighter.

hmmm... i\'ll probably get the Revo and the PS3 for these reasons. The Revo has some awesome stuff planned for it, and I look forward especially to the next SSB game(my cousin is the only person who can beat me regularly of the people if manage to face, and I don\'t lose in the original...) On top of that I have every single nintendo console, excepting more obscure ones, like Virtual Boy, and I am missing two types of GameBoy...
The PS3, will, like the Revo be backwards compatible, and as my PS2 has just decided that it won\'t play FFIX once again, or any black disc for that matter, it can\'t stay around for long... On top of that Square Enix hasn\'t released a good Final Fantasy game for Nintendo, excepting Tactics Advanced, since the SNES. On top of that I have a fairly good selection of PS1 and 2 games (such as Battlefront... Yay battlefront 2 is coming out soon! Go Lucasarts)
-
Id probly have to say dont buy either...Just stick with your computer :P...Game stations are good but computers have a more wide selection of games and if you like xbox games wait a year cause theyl pop up on the computer soon enough....Thats just my opinion you dont have to care :P....Also computers have alot of other intersting options coming out..Like hooking you tv to your computer by direct cable and watching your favorite shows on the computer while someone else watches theres...And if you like the show alot or if its a movie you can burn it on to a cd and keep it for ever....Also theres the internet explorer...lots of music programs ect....
I heard of xbox thinking about doing something with an internet built in but i can guarantee theres gonna be a billion problems With it cause....HEy its xbox problems were ment for that system :P......But if i had to choose because if i didnt wed all be horribly killed id say the new game cube cause of ZELDA... Plus all the other Nintendo favs remixed with coo graphics and stuff....
Man im so bored....anyways thats my opinion :P

To directly answer your question, without any \'hu ha\'. my money is going into the PS3. Mostly on the basis that BioWare and Ubisoft -along with many others- are making cross platform games for the new set of systems.
I doubt that Microsoft will do very well with the educated gamers -the hardcores- given its current lack of good launch titles (Perfect Dark doesn\'t impress me and Gears of War may look good but what\'s it play like?) While the Xbox is currently surviving well with the Xbox live gig and sole property I fortell a shift away from those in the overall market.
Sony and Nintendo Corp. are both setting up Online services, having realized that that was one of the Xbox\'s major buying pros and one of their cons. While I am all about the Revolution, Nintendo Corp. is, as per usual, keeping a lid on the major details untill release. Remember the people that refused to buy the GC because they thought the controllers were either to small or looked fragile. I threw one off my roof at work and it survived the fall, that\'s what finaly convinced me that Nintendo Corp. had their engineers in line.
As for the Xbox-360 I\'m sure it will have a good amout of property that you can\'t get anywhere else but on PC. Note the PC part. If they had not bought Halo outright and made its Xbox release a full year and a half before its (much scaled down) PC release they would have had a hell of a time at launch.
I could be wrong. I have been before, and will be again but my money os on the PS3 being worth its cost ratio and the Xbox-360 having -once again- half as many games due to crazy high development costs...comparably.
I like to have options. Besides my friends and I always draw straws and share our systems (just the four of us so we know who to kill if somethin\' gets broken. Being as we don\'t live with our parents and can\'t have little brother or little sister \"accidentaly\" get at it.)
ps nintendo all the way
