Xbox 360 Vs Playstation 3 Vs Nintendo Wii

[speed101]

the ps3 will probably be better than the new x-box but we will have to see...

[Casper]

Ok this Nintendo console is going to be the BEST console IMO....better than ps3 probably. This console allows you to download ANY old NES super NES or n64 game onto it....The controller is wireless they think and it plays blu ray discs...Its is backwards compatible with gamecube games.

Oh good Lord, yet another games console thread! How many of these blasted things bloody exist? If it's not a Game Boy Advance, it's a PlayStation 2, if it's not that then it's a PlayStation 3 or even a PSP! If it isn't either of those then it's a Nintendo GameCube, an Xbox 360 or a what now, Nintendo Revolution?!

God, what is the world coming to, it seems to increasingly revolve around video games, as does this Fan Forum, I'm surprised I haven't logged into to find it called something else. I know I'm a moany git and I do love you all I promise, but it is all just terribly boring for people like me you see. Isn't there anything better to talk about....? I mean all that ever happens is that it turns into one big list of people saying it's either good or rubbish and that they're either going to buy it or not buy it, with the occasional post on how expensive it's going to be. :smt012

To top it all off, someone said to me that I reminded them of a white Derek from Big Brother tonight! I mean honestly, am I really that bad?! I sometimes think that this world would be a better place if I was the only person who lived on the planet, at least I know I'd be able to rely on myself to have a decent conversation with.

Oh well.... goodnight folks, I'm going to plod off back to my miserable life....

LOL well soo sorry luke.....this is the GENERAL CHAT board. If the MODS or DAN doesnt like it then they will delete it..just thought some people would like to know

No need to keep on saying MODS and DAN in capital letters, I know who runs this Forum, I'm not an idiot.

Once again, another example of people not being able to comment on something without insinuations about Dan and the Moderators running the Forum, I mean I do know that!

This place is becoming like a prison. Why can't I say I don't like something without having "DAN" and "MODERATORS" screamed at me, oh and not even by Dan or the Moderators? I feel that my post is just as acceptable as someone posting saying, "Yeah, it's cool, I'm gonna buy it when it comes out" or "No, it's rubbish, the PlayStation 3 is better, I'm gonna buy that instead."

Your Nintendo Revolution thread has been merged with the original Next Gen console thread. I've also added Nintendo Revolution to the Poll options as well.

We have had sooooo many console and game threads, I think all talk about them should stay in one place (where possible).

Yeah i was in work and i was actually thinking about this and was going to just say make an "official game thread" for all the upcoming consoles and games

[Dillion]

Playstation 3 all the way! Never bought all the other ones, just the playstation series, I even use it to play dvds, so no point in buying dvds.

Ok they finally released what the nintendo revolution controller looks like and it is here...

The entire industry has been clamoring for a taste of Nintendo's so-called next-generation 'revolution.' So have we. Every time Nintendo president Satoru Iwata has opened his mouth, he underscored time and time again Nintendo would not be following the traditional path of a new console. Rumors have persisted for weeks about touch screens, gyroscope functions, virtual headsets, and everything else under the sun.
Nintendo always emphasized they weren't following Sony and Microsoft, and boy, they weren't kidding. Nintendo decided Tokyo Game Show (an event the company typically forgoes in favor of Space World) was the right time to sit down with select members of the press and unveil their vision of gaming's future. And guess what? We were there.

We've seen the Revolution, touched and played with its radically different take on the game controller, talked with visionary designer Shigeru Miyamoto about the reasoning behind Nintendo's new approach and we're back with our lengthy, hands-on impressions.

Has Nintendo struck gold again? Read on and find out.

The Revolution Controller Basics: What The Hell Is It?
The controller for Nintendo's upcoming Revolution home console system is a cordless remote-control-like device designed to be used with only one hand. Two small sensors placed near the TV and a chip inside the controller track its position and orientation, allowing the player to manipulate the action on screen by physically moving the controller itself. For example, you could slash an in-game sword by actually swinging the controller from side to side, turn a race car just by twisting your wrist, or aim your gun in a shooter by pointing the controller where you want to fire.


An expansion port on the bottom of the unit allows for add-on hardware to compliment this "remote controller" (our word for it, not Nintendo's), like a second controller piece Nintendo demonstrated that comes equipped with an analog stick and two trigger buttons (currently labeled Z1 and Z2, for those of you keeping track). When the two controller pieces are attached, the so-called 'Nunchaku' configuration (the two bits are connected by a short cord) can work similarly to current controllers, just with the second analog stick replaced by actual movement of the Revolution controller. Nintendo also mentioned that the controller stick could be slipped inside other, more conventional controller shells, dance mats, bongos, or other peripherals.

A large "A" button sits in the prime spot under your thumb on the face of the controller, with a "B" trigger on the back of the unit for your index finger. Otherwise the button configuration is an interesting mix of old and new: standard D-pad up top, near the power button (to turn the Revolution console on and off), Start and Select in the middle, on either side of the intriguing "Home" button (Nintendo wouldn't go into detail, but sounds like it has to do with navigating system menus, which will be important given the Revolution's promised WiFi connectivity), and two more buttons near the bottom labeled "a" and "b." These last two may seem uncomfortably low for your thumb until you turn the controller 90 degrees and it becomes just like an old 8-bit NES joypad, with the D-pad under your left thumb and "a" and "b" under your right. (Don't forget-Nintendo has promised downloadable versions of their classic games for the Revolution's "Virtual Console.") Nintendo mentioned the button names and their exact sizes could still change slightly before production, but what you see here is close to the final design.

Elsewhere on the controller, the four lights at the very bottom represent which player it belongs to, and that hatch on the back is the battery compartment. (The prototype Revolution controllers we saw used regular batteries just like the GameCube's WaveBird wireless controller-and last a similar amount of time, according to Nintendo-but reps wouldn't say for certain if the final unit would use batteries or some rechargeable option.) The effective maximum range for the wireless controller is expected to be somewhere between 10 and 15 feet. A variety of different colored controllers were on display, including red, lime green, white, gray, black, and silver. Finally, rumble functionality is built in to the controller.

Well the idea of the Revolution is to out gross or perform the other two systems but to rather provide a cheaper, sensible solution. I reall like the Revoltuion. However its aimed for the younger bracket of players and not for us truly. I like the idea and will most likely buy. However I'm just giving a heads up.

i will probally getting PS3, (sony all the way!)

im not a big fan of Xbox, let alone microsoft, but im getting tired of Halo PC, so if i get PS3, and can get Xbox 360 i might get it, just for Halo and a few other games that will be coming out for 360.

[jo3max]

X-Box baby!

[darknessprincess]

to be honest, i prefer the Old Nintendo System



aww the good Ol' time lol

[jo3max]

^ Nothing wrong with Old School. I still have that one too

[XtReMeSwAnToN9]

i got the SNES emulator (s/p?)
its pretty cool.


i forgot to add PS3 is gonna have Sonic, Unreal Tourny 07, DMC 4. They all look pretty awesome right now, but the one game i cant wait for is RE5. Alot of the Gamecube exclusives are going to other systems now though, like RE. Now we just need Mario on PS3. The one game i miss though is Crash Bandicoot, the new games suck, hopefully they'll make a decent Crash game now

[DarkFireTaker]

..you know, the business world is always launching new stuffs, trust me, one day, something is gonna come up that`s better than these, and then, another thing will surpass that, and after, another thing will beat that, get it? It`s business..always new stuffs coming out, yep, unless you`re rich, try to think before buying something.

..but anyway, It`s amazing, all of these 3 systems are wonderful, I really can`t choose between them, I want all of them!

[RIP-shikhar]

Well I just like nintendo so I would go with revolution.But to honestly give my opininon,I feel sony will again establish a rocking console. :smt012

Wow, Long time ago! I remmeber when you'd have to blow air into the cartraged because the thing would fill with dust. Remember that? Haha. Pretty soon everythig will be on DVD-RAM. With the covers too preotect from everything. I still have my Super Nintendo mad fun at times.

Right, so you guys across the pond have Xbox 360's!! Do any of you guys have one by any chance (those who were lucky enough), i'd be very interested in some general reviews of the console and any games u have bought (especially Perfect Dark: Zero)
