Why do Wii Owner feel the need to Attack PS3?

fender13 · 12-20-2006, 02:10 AM

[quote=DarkDepths]I think that the main reason people that like the Wii attack the PS3 is because we are insecure. We love our console, but we don't really know how it functions. We haven't seen anything eye-popping, even on the gameplay side. I think alot of us, (Not me!) are worried that we "made the wrong choice." We all want to see the Wii win. We want Nintendo to reign supreme, but there is one obstacle. That obstacle is Sony, and its infamous PS3. To deal with this, we attack it. Me must make ourselves believe that we don't want a PS3, because we just spent so long hyping ourselves up about the Wii and punching our cousins because they mentioned the word playstation one day. So Wii do the only thing Wii know how to do, Wii fight to defend ourselves against the pain of the millions of particles emmitted by the Playstation 3, and the ever evil, Ken Ku.... Sony!

I 110% disagree with you and your views. What are you a psychologist? You obviously like the PS3 better... Some people actually are just "Nintendo" fans. Some people are just "Sony" fans. You're sitting there telling me that Sony is better and we are in some kind of denial over the Nintendo Wii. Haha, this is such a funny post I can't stop laughing. Seriously though, are you a console psychologist? LOL

psychono2 · 12-20-2006, 02:21 AM

First, please learn how to use the quote feature before actually using it. Second, when did I ever say that the PS3 was better. Anyways, what I was saying was that the PS3 is good, but so is the Wii. It's just that maybe some of us are just now realizing that the PS3 may not actually be those horrible things that we once thought they were. So these people attack it to make it seem worse. It is like when people make fun of each other to make themselves feel bigger.

And finally, I am probably one of the worlds leaders in hating Sony. I have nothing made by Sony, and I refuse to buy anything. Nope, Ill stick with Nintendo, as I always have. Afterall who can refuse a nice little round of mariokart, or maybe settling in for a long night of Zelda. Sorry my friend, but you have marked me wrong.

And psychologist? Nah... I'm just a kid in grade 11. And I don't know about you, but I have been saving my money for a Wii since January 1st 2006.

insecurity is the only answer i have for the people that bash other consoles lol, i own a wii and love it, it's awesome and really compact and have always liked the games on the nintendo systems. the nice price compared to other consoles and the thought of more motion sensing within games sounded a lot cooler than the other traditional controllers and the backwards compatability all the way back to the games i played when i was really young got my attention over the others.

Here's the thing.

I have read about every post on this forum. Even though it's a Nintendo Wii forum, there is also large support for Xbox 360 here too. The support for PlayStation 3, however, is not so large.

Why is that?

The PS3 fails in a few strong points:
1. The graphics capabilities aren't significantly different than the Xbox 360.
2. BluRay is forced on consumers, many of which don't desire to have nor need that support (except for the fact that games are unnecessarily on that format).
3. The HD upconversion scheme fails to meet many consumers' expectations for a $600 console.
4. The interface is full of bugs, like when you select something and it doesn't let you enter that function, then you have to exit and re-enter the menu.
5. The console isn't truly fully backward compatible with old games, as promised.
6. The SIXAXIS controller is not motion sensitive -- it is a clumsy, last-minute addition to try to sway a share away from Nintendo. Ever played NBA 2k7? Shooting a basket is a nightmare! They might as well have added a couple more buttons instead!
7. Aliasing is HORRIBLE on the console. Not only does it have issues at 30 degrees like the Wii, but 45, 60, 120, 135, and 150 degrees. This may be due to first generation games, but if it follows in the footsteps of previous Sony consoles (PSOne, PS2), it will always be there.
8. The controllers have no force feedback ("dual shock").
9. The console runs much hotter than Xbox 360, and even that isn't the coolest running console.

However still, the PS3 isn't a bad console. It's just pricey for what you actually get.

The Xbox 360 controller is considered to be "perfect" by many. The fundamental difference between the Xbox 360 controller and the PS3 controller, is essentially that the joystick and d-pad have been switched positions. The PS3 controller still fails in comparison in first and third person shooters, due to the unergonomic reach for the left joystick.

Personally, I find it to be a retarded position. They just copied Sony's design, moved the left thumbstick and merged the four shoulder buttons into two. How the hell is it any more ergonomic? You're still sitting there for hours getting carpal tunnel syndrome, but your left thumb is in a mystical slightly further off center position.

Whenever I go over to my friends house I just say "**** it" and use the D-pad.

Note: I'm a long time Nintendo fan, and short term Sony fan (just for the PS2, since I couldn't bring myself to get a Gamecube). Yes, I'm definately biased against Microsoft, and I have my reasons.

SuperH · 12-20-2006, 04:01 AM

See, the thumbstick is a long stretch and is almost painful after several hours of FPS on the Sony controller (pimples, anyone?

)

It really should be where the D pad is on the Sony controllers. Also, the sticks move easier on the Xbox 360.

There are still four shoulder buttons on the Xbox 360.

Wii Addict · 12-20-2006, 04:02 AM

I can burn at the PS3 all I want.

My friends and I call it the "PS1 with a 3 painted on the side" I find nothing really advanced about the hunk o' junk. It can't even play games half decent let alone "Become the media center of my home". The Wii got the 2006 technology award, and is all wrapped up in a neat package. So have fun with your "PP3" as it can suck my Wii

3mpathy · 12-20-2006, 04:05 AM

Who really cares who wins?? i mean come on the wii has ensured nintendo enough money to pump out another console eventualy and thats all i care about .

I brought a Wii not because it had motion sensing or its graphics but because it had Zelda and metroid... i will buy a xbox360 for halo eventualy, and when they come down in price i will get a ps3 not because of the HD as i dont even have a tv that supports HD, and not because of the blu ray as nobody in aus can even tell its anything but a type of fish....but because the the ps3 has metal gear solid and devil may cry..

Each console is unique and everyone is going to have there favorite, Comparing them doesn't go anywhere and just ends up with a lot of pissed off people. You think a console is better than another console hey good for you, it no doubt is since each console focused on different things!!

Zomg wii has better controlls than the ps3!! i didn't see that coming ...

Ps3 has blu ray and wii doesnt z0MG its better!!!!
xbox 360 has xbox live NO WAY!!!!!!!

Each console has something the others dont, comparing what you know was left out of a console against what was included in another is just stupid... Of course wii doesnt look as good they focuses on the controlls to provide great gameplay so why bring up the graphics... Boohoo ps3 costs alot but they made that choice so they could include bluray...its obviously not big a deal since there still selling....and xbox 360 of course it's graphics are fantastic....that was the point, theres no revolution in the controllers, no big changes, they just took what they knew worked and built on it, making a great console but nothing new.

So what it really comes down to is what console has the games you prefer and how do you prefer playing them. Do you love games that look great and controll like the last game you played. Or do you not care about hd and billionxbillion resolutions and are focuses on having fun and swinging your arms around like a madman? Or is devil may cry built into your dna so the ps3 is all you can think of....Everyone preferes different things and always will.... So stop making comparing threads.... label the thread "My completely biased opinion on the wii and ps3 *dont open if u have an open mind*" That way you can have your opinion and you wont get a whole bunch of people coming into the thread expecting something new but getting pissed off by the same old points and arguments that wher made in another thread only an hour earlier and wont end up flaming the crap out of you :P

For anyone that actualy got this far in my post excuse the spelling and giberish that it was :P just woke up >.<

Wii, is a great system that gets people involved, physically. It may lack in Hi-Def and realism, but excels in sheer entertainment and interactive fun.
PS3, delivers unparalleled realism and Hi-Def supremacy but does not have the interactive factors that the Wii has.
In other words, both systems rock the Nex-Gen world on different fronts. To see post after post of why one is better then the other is a lost cause, simply because where they differ on all fronts, it is like comparing Apples to Oranges, they will never be on the same playing field, therefore never deserve to be compared to one another.
Unless you have both and can add some proven facts or personal opinions then stay away from bashing the other console, your swinging in the dark. Let’s praise the Wii for its entertainment factor and fun, and leave the PS3 out of the equation, your mealy sounding stupid when you try to compare the two.

Did you ever think that maybe by making this thread would make more people attack the PS3, because you are defending it on a Nintendo Wii Forum?

COLDshiver · 12-20-2006, 10:41 PM

All three systems kick ass

I own all 3 including a great gaming PC. It's just that this is a Wii forum and obviously we'll want the Wii to win. If you want maybe more balanced opinions, go to a non-console forum or a console forum in general. There, you'll find less Wii praise but of course, more PS3 praise

Stubborn idiots who think their console is almighty

Hybrid · 12-20-2006, 11:14 PM

Sovieto · 12-20-2006, 11:24 PM

It does matter that a console wins because the money that the company make goes into its games(some). We all remembered the days were nintendo flurished and they made great games because there was no war with the systems.Its also just personal opinion like u said though
