PS3 - Xbox 360 Wars

[Axolotl]

Sorry i didn't include Wii in this discussion, but as stated already, there aren't many fanboys for it, and i've never personally had a problem with any

I can attest that there are die-hard Wii fanboys, it's just that they spend free time playing games as opposed to arguing on message boards.

The Xbox 360 is so much better than the PS3 the grafx is always better. Halo 3 and Gears of War and Gear of War 2 are officilally the best games ever. Xbox live pwns PS3 home n00bs, wat is that like 2nd life cos u dont have one cos you have the Ps3 harhar! Mass Effects is best science-fi ever made and way bettar than sony could ever be, all sony has are RPGs about stupid idiots and sqeaky voicing. Xbox 360 has better games and controllers and monies is cost less.

I have a Xbox 360 and I love it. But you have just embarrased anybody who bought a Xbox 360. I bet you are one of the 8-year-old Halo idiots.

EDIT : I just discovered that was sarcasm. Sorry. It just really gets on my nerves when people act like this.

lol np. I hate it too, was just putting one of those comments in for fun. I guess the bad spelling, grammar and punctuation is just accepted behaviour with that type of post

Noooo! Ur so wrongs! PS3 iz best consolse eva. Blu-Ray means better films and can store like 500TB of data so it can run like 32k textures and everything. And sund is so much bettar. In fact, the cell processor can calculate the chances of it outselling xbox 360 and wii cos sonfy defense force said so. Halo and gears are already beaten by Resistance 2 and will be even more beaten by Killzone 2 which looks better than Crysis on the best settings. HA! PS3 will rule 2009-2025! And ur gonn be so jellous u haven't got one and theyr gonna check ur xbox live account and then Sony wont sell u one and u'll never play the best game ever MGS4.

For the love of all that is holy, PLEASE tell me you're being sarcastic or ironic cause otherwise I'll cry.

Personally, my preference is Xbox. For all it's flaws, I much prefer it for the control and the games. As good as some of the games on PS3 look, I don't like how long they take to make because of Blu-Ray. It's kinda over-rated. But that's just me.

Hoe could I not be sarcastic when I put contradicting viewpoints!?

I prefer the Xbox 360 for the games and the online service. I hate it for the ridiculous peripherals they keep pumping out and the slightly lacking hardware; no built in wifi etc.

I hate the PS3 controller too. I might get a PS3 though as it has some good titles and is a good media player. It's Blu-Ray is still better than most dedicated players as far as I'm aware.

Even though i have a PS3 and love nearly every bit of it, i'd kill to have online as good as xbox live. I did have it for about a year on the Xbox (first one) and i loved halo2's online play.

So i can see why Xbox have such a big fanboy army, probably much bigger than ps3, but then again all wars are conflicts of interest. I got a ps3 coz i liked it better than xbox at the time, if that means someone is going to come upto me and say that my ps3 is rubbish just coz they have a 360, then as far as im concerned they can shove their opinion where the sun don't shine. I like both consoles, therefore im nutural.

Nintendo has abandoned its original fanbase, and has given up releasing any games aimed at that group

The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess, Metroid Prime 3: Corruption, Super Mario Galaxy, Super Smash Bros Brawl, Mario Kart Wii, Wario Ware, Wario Land and an entire library of retro games would like to have a word with you, good sir.

And how many of those were released in the last year? Just SSBB, Mario Kart Wii, an Wario Land. And I wouldn't really consider that Mario Kart Wii was aimed at long-time fans. It seems to be more for families now, with mothers making up the largest share of purchasers.

Also, rereleasing games from 10 years ago doesn't count. "Releasing" means in the present day. And have you seen the games in WiiWare? Most of them are party games and the few that aren't are simple, pick-up-and-play type games. Hardly for the long-time fans wanting a challenge.

Ive always bought the console that my friends have first, this of course being a pc.
I then buy a console once I see a few good games come out for it.
naturally the Xbox won the second pick and the ps3 came last(but not least)

It really is just a preference Im a big fan of playing w/friends so the format with the most friends is the one that gets purchased. I find gaming Is substantially less fun when I cant share experiences or play with friends.

 

[McClaud]

I don't have a problem with the PS3 or XBox as much as I have a problem with their respective makers.

I dislike Microsoft for selling defective console machines, and I dislike Sony for selling one that is so hard to make games for that I have to wait 3 times as long for a good exclusive to show up.

Kaz and Major Nelson should be put in a cage to fight until one survives, and then we the gamers get to kill the survivor slowly.

"Just"? They fucking released a game in all their major franchises for the Wii in the span of two fucking years! Games that usually have a 2-4 year development cycle! Do the fucking math!

We're still very early in the Wii's life cycle. Remember how many games Nintendo released in their main franchises on previous consoles? Let's just have a look at the Nintendo 64, since it is usually considered Nintendo's most recent successful console (not counting the Wii)...

N64 (1996-2001):
1 Super Mario
1 Mario Kart
1 Super Smash Bros
2 Zelda (where one was a spinoff)
1 F-Zero
1 Star Fox
1 Kirby
1 Donkey Kong

And then let's look at the Wii...

Wii (2006-2008(-????))
1 Super Mario
1 Mario Kart
1 Super Smash Bros
1 Zelda
1 Metroid
1 WarioWare
1 Wario Land

See that? That's 9 major games in six years, versus 7 in two. Any objections?

And I wouldn't really consider that Mario Kart Wii was aimed at long-time fans. It seems to be more for families now, with mothers making up the largest share of purchasers.

You know what? My mom's been playing Mario Kart since the MK64. Coincidentally, Mario Kart 64 is my favorite game in the series.

On the other hand, I hated Double Dash, but with only a few annoying flaws I've absolutely loved Mario Kart Wii. I just wish they'd fleshed out the singleplayer and local multiplayer modes a bit, like they did with Mario Kart DS.

And you know what? Mario Kart is always for the fans. The people who find enjoyment in Mario Kart over realistic racers or generic party racers are to a great degree people who like the Mario universe, which makes them fans.

Also, rereleasing games from 10 years ago doesn't count. "Releasing" means in the present day.

That's funny, because it is the present day today, and they've been releasing a lot of sweet "hardcore" games I'd never played before in the last two years.

And that's not even counting games that never made it out of the Japan and the US on their original platforms (such as Super Mario RPG and Sin & Punishment).

Regardless of how you choose to discriminate against the titles, they're very much hardcore releases, and they're being made availible in the here and now.

And have you seen the games in WiiWare? Most of them are party games and the few that aren't are simple, pick-up-and-play type games. Hardly for the long-time fans wanting a challenge.

That's funny, because I find a lot of other "hardcore" games that are very void of challenge to me, since I've been playing video games for 20 years now. But that doesn't matter, since I can still enjoy playing them for other reasons than just difficulty. On the whole video games are about stimulance, in one way or another.

But, yes, WiiWare is basically an outlet for creative game development. For titles that can't be developed for and released on the disc format due to the risk and higher costs involved. But for a low price you might just find yourself a very unique, although short-lived, experience.

Also, one member of this group can often be seen wearing an actual Wii-mote around his neck. In public places.

No, you're joking. How old is this person? Are they followed round by a camera crew?

I swear I am not joking...I wish I was. I honestly wish I had thought to take a picture with my phone. He sort of looks like Fogler/McLovin, so just imagine him with a Wii-mote around his neck.
