Cause just because you play on a gamepad, it dosn't mean it's not fun. There are a bunch of games I rather play on a 360/PS3 rather than on a Wii.

I always have a problem with systems that want to be more than what they are supposed to be in the first place. For me it's always been about the titles...games I've come to love overtime, zelda, mario, metroid, etc. So nintendo forever for me.

I'm building a $3k pc early next year with the latest dx10 nvidia cards that are out around that time, and the other good stuff from everyone else. I don't need a $600 console to get awesome graphics. My PC has served that role for over 6 years and will continue to do so.

When it comes to the format, B-R is not the winner of the format war yet, so why even bother at this point in time.

I have an LCD TV that supports up to 1080p, and I would love to play games at that resolution on the wii for example, imagine the beauty one could find in a zelda game that supports it...but nintendo is not there yet...when they do get there, and eventually they will ( cause as we all know HD is just getting stronger ) I'll be right there to grab that console.

I just saw a playable Wiis at Vaughan Mills (Mall north of Toronto). The first wasn't in the store, and had 3 Wii reps for the 4 wii's they had. I saw another at EBgames, but you have to put money down or a credit card to play (in case someone "nicks" the controller)

without a doubt those graphic are amazing. if pc game dev' pulled their finger out they could make games with better graphic. ive said it a few times, ive bought the wii for the controller, game play and nintendo titles. im not going to lie, i love good graphic', im studying to become a 3D artist and animator! but i already have my PC for good graphic games. enemy territory quake wars looks amazing. if the previous id games are anything to go by the game play will be amazing, the graphic is on bar/better than the ps3/xbox 360 and keyboard/mouse are still my favorite controls. not forgetting the online community.

wii=fun, innovative games sort of games with a fun controller
pc=better graphic, online sort of games with mouse keyboard

i dont need a ps3.

Wii or PS3

hi guys

ive been a nintendo fan since i fond the Game Boy Colour (i was born in 1993 so im a nintendo child) but i also played the ps2 and the xbox and others, i said to everyone at school that dont buy the Xbox 360 or the PS3 and buy the Wii. its brilliant i havent played one (im still looking for it god dammit! lol) but everyone says they like the PS3 how can i convince them Wii beats all

1. the wii helps with fitness (i think if you get yourself into the game you will get fitter and healthier)
2.ideas for the wii are way better than ps3 (everyone plays the Wii thats why its called Wii (we) but ps3 is just boring) iver seen old people play the wii and young people play the wii and adults (20-40s) which is amazing for my eyes because ive never seen an old person sit down and play a PS2 or Xbox its a revolution (what the original name for wii is they said.) i dont like nintendo for they dont bring enough stock out for consoles and games which is a bit pointless because i know that if they brought enough out my friends would have bought them instead of sacking it and waiting for the PS3

i live in the U.K so we dont have playable Wiis and that in stores the only things i have seen is a playable xbox when it came out.

There are predictions for a price cut within the next twelve months. If your not in Europe, and want to buy a PS3 - be thankful, they ( the Euros.) will only get the 60gig PS3 option... super expensive.

I played a Wii @ EB games in the Eaton centre - they wanted my driving licence.

everyones all about the PS3 n how good it looks... but i'm not so shure its as big a deal for people as they think... here is where i'm comin from

I realize most of the people that are into their gaming have HD but for those that dont.. they go to these ps3 kiosks n think omg this is so awesome, they buy one, then bring it home to their 27 inch regular old tube tv. Shure its still something special but no where near what i'd say 600 bucks is worth. Someday (if ever) the PS3 drops in price, i figure itll be a nice sturdy stand for my wii to sit on. But then I have a 61 inch 1080 HD w/ Bose system. Why anyone would get a PS3 just to put it on a "boob-tube" is beyond me.

hey now i had the ps3, i honestly liked it, but i gave it up because i needed more of a family oriented machine. don't bash, but yes it is pretty expensive, but if you look at Blueray players period its like 600 bucks anyways, why not have a ps3 at the same time. but all 3g systems are good. haven't yet bought a 360 yet :/, but with the wii my daughter and wife can play )

Just because a system has good graphics doesnt mean it has BAD gameplay. This is not a war or a fight, you dont have to pick SIDES. Jesus Christ. The games on the PS3 are very good, they have great gameplay. Samething with games on the wii. the wii just takes such a unique approach to gaming that it is fresh and DIFFERENT (being the key word)

Anyone who makes a statement like the one above is nothing more than a closeminded FOOL.

what about final fantasy? Metal gear solid? I dont think you will find those games on the wii gentlemen. I love the wii. but a comparison such as this is irrational and illogical.

Ummm I can't disagree with more... the playstation brand has not gotten to where it is just on graphics... the playstation 2 has sold about 200 + million world wide and that's just not on graphics...

Games like Okami, final fantasy, Onimusha, Metal Gear Solid, Shadow of Colossus, God of War, Gran Turismo, Devil May Cry, Splinter Cell, Resident Evil, Silent Hill jesus christ I can't even remember... seriously there are so many "GREAT" gameplay games in the thousands that unfortunately I probably never even played...

While I'll admit "right now" the games are a little scarce for the PS3 but the games I mentioned above will make an appearence on the system and they will be great...

If you have the cash I would definataly recommend the PS3

below is a list of upcoming games for the PS3... a mojority of them will have great gameplay....

Don't you abuse my Jesus !

But yea i do think that PS3 is a little before its time as well. But not too much... with all the big superbowl ads calling for people to ditch their regular boob-tubes n go HD. People are gonna start taking their video more seriously. But will it bring the PS3 sales up... maybe after years there will be a better demand for such power that is found abundant in the PS3

Everyone needs to understand that Wii vs PS3 vs Xbox360 is the same concept as rock, paper and scissors. There is no "one console to rule them all" crap. So cut it out.

I personally would not pay for a system that uses an inferior CPU due to it's in order execution and a GPU that is essentially a 7800 with a fancy name.

Not to mention there is no practical use for Blu-Ray other then HD movies which I personally find pointless.
