Why the PS3 will bomb and why the Wii won't.

[Abeguy]

Thats a safe bet, the PS3's wil probably be about as much as the 360's, if not more. But I'm not sure yet

Interesting discussion on gamasutra on whether Sony can convince developers and consumers of the PS3's dominance. Lots of well-thought out responses from people within the industry.

Sure, the PS3 will clash its shiny gauntlets with the Wii and its rainbow feather dusters....while the 360 exists as the middle man.

Does anyone know how much the games will be for it?

Wii= System $250.00- Games $40.00 some $50.00
$39.99 for the regular controller-$19.99 for the nunchuck- $19.99 for the classic controller

PS3= System $1,000,000.00- Games $60.00-$70.00
$50 for the regular controller.

On topic of the first post, The PS3 wont bomb it has a large fan base. Sure the price is high, but fans of video games will buy them, if they are lucky to get one-first in line-. The Wii looks like it will sell like crazy every one seems to be hyped up about the controller. I am going to stick with my Xbox 360, it has the games I am most into.

If the Wii had a controller instead of a gimmick and another 100 dollars under its hood I'd get it. Not now. I don't really care too much for Nintendo nostalgia. I had a Genesis and a Playstation growing up and I hate Mario. I hate Mario and all his friends and their pastel fagatronics. I also don't really care about Link, Samus, and Resident Evil so whats the draw? If you don't like that Nintendo stuff why even bother? Red Steel? Bah, 360 has better exclusives.

[Abeguy]

ehh...I don't care. I'm getting a Wii. All I got money for too.

[OANST]

Why is it that you hate fun, Statick? Why, damn you? Why?

[Statikk HDM]

I just guess I never understood the Link fanboyism. That franchise is major league boring. Mario blows compared to Sonic, and Samus is suppressing the Vectorman game. That bitch! Also, even though N64 was graphically more powerful than the Playstation I always thought the games on it looked very poor to Nintendo. Nintendo has a bunch of fruity stuff and ports out the ying yang, all powered by a system that can't bring the eye candy goods compared to the othet two systems. All this innovation is going to land Nintendo flat on its face. Again. Its not 1995 anymore, dammit.

[Abeguy]

Vector man was fun. But was not all that popular. Nintendo has a knack with making game series that stick

[Statikk HDM]

Just kidding about the Vectorman thing. Found my Vectorman games in my room and I've been playing them recently. Good times.
I wouldn't be surprised to see the order be...
360
Wii
PS3
I'm no fanboy, can't afford any of them!

heh they stole the X360 button too (didnt read pgs 2-3 but will now) x.x

yesh ps is teh failz. every ps fan in my school bar the select few (why did I have to know em? i feel dirty) who are stil gonna get it. my friend deans gonna buy a 1000 euro TV!? what the hell!

[Stephan]

Silver, yes, but you need Gold for online multiplayer. Although you can get a lot of stuff from Silver. I'm just glad that Gold can be purchased through pre-paid cards. No more creditcards! Yay!


Hmm, that reminds me, that last update of XBL, you are supposed to download stuff while playing a game now. That's not true. It actually pauses the download, until you exit the game! True, you can browse Marketplace, but still...

half truth, it only pauses when you go into online multiplayer ;p

[Mojo]

Hmm, I must come back at those words I said. When it was first introduced (downloading stuff), it paused when you played a game, whether you were online or offline. Seems that there was an update, wich I only recently got, since I'm not connected to XBL, by default (I have to share the cable with the PC). But last time I signed in, it updated. So now it downloads while playing games offline. Fine by me.

Now to get a router...

Now most of you don't know me but...
I'm going to wait and see. What if the ps3 rocks? Or the wii rocks? It is all a matter of strategy.
I do kinda agree with the 360 and Wii idea.
