eh guys...all system companies have admitted larger power cords.
btw i really dont feel like waving my arm around to play a game on the revolution. Thats complete garbage and i dont feel like playing games with a boomerang on the ps3

XBOX 360 will be the wost of all the next gen systems. I know this.

In the PS3's defense, it will have better hardware, if by better you mean better graphics.
For games, it will be the revolution.

I already have a $2,000 computer, so why would I want to play first person shooter ports on an xbox?

We'll see

you don't expect a huge power inserter?? These are basically computers, and rather than having a huge box on your entertainment center they allow you to hide the powers inserter and just show the small system.

Doubtful. What good games did game cube have? Few and far between. Res evil 4, zelda, thats about it.

i dont feel like playing games with a boomerang on the ps3

90% chance that the ps3 gamepad will change by release.

[Anton Djamoos]

You forgot Metroid Prime. But what he meant was that Revolution will have the best games because they will be the most interesting and fun to play with the system.

I am the one person that hates to say this most, but it won't be just because of the unbelievably high expectations put on it coupled with the delays and the unbearably long wait.

Um.......remember Ocarnia? The single most hyped object to ever be released at any given time.

And it more that lived up.

I'm betting on Zelda being top notch.

Ocarina was not hyped the way Twilight Princess will be/already is hyped. Do you remember when they first showed the trailer? My god, it was pandemonium...people were crying of joy. It's going back to the realistic graphics and is promising many different elements of play, while the director of the game is saying that they're trying to make it better than Ocarina. Ocarina of Time never had this amount of coverage around it.

Even if it's not the best game ever, it'll be the second best...behind Ocarina, which is just fine with me.

[Darren McLeod]

360 is NOT a small system by any means.

[SePaMc]

I dunno. Launch titles: First person shooter, another first person shooter with a crime story, a hockey game, a couple basketball games, a football game (most likely without midseason updates), a racing game, another racing game where you are a street racer...Thats my idea of a perfect launch. Oh wait I forgot about a WWII first person shooter. silly me.

You sure the revolution can compete with the 360 as far as game play and originality goes?

360 is NOT a small system by any means.

small by the means of comparing it to the first xbox.

A new Final Fantasy game will sway my vote from Revolution to PS3
Good point but it would also be released on PC 2 months later

[deja andyroo]

The loyalties here are hilarious.

Devoting your loyalty to a system that won't be out for at least a year and immediately disregarding a system that you've maybe played for fifteen minutes is silly. In the current era of gaming where several companies are releasing comparable systems, picking up one console means only this: you're depriving yourself of some great gaming experiences.

Don't let that come across as a sign of my own loyalty towards a particular system. I'll pick up a Revolution. But I'll also get a 360 and a PS3.

[FreshyFresh23]

No... only 3 FF games ever have been on PC. 7, 8 and the MMO 11.

Numbers 9, 10 and 10-2 were never released on PC. 12 will never be on PC.

Also, 13 WAS annoucned for both 360 and ps3 or just one or the other.

http://www.gamespot.com/news/6139901.html

[deja andyroo]

Yeah, it looks like the next-gen Final Fantasy and Dragon Quest games will be multi-platform. Like he said, I doubt they'll end up on PC, though. Anything's possible, but after VII and VIII, the single-player ones haven't made the transition.

Still, since Final Fantasy XII plays like a single-player version of XI, maybe they'll put it on PC to entice people to logoff XI and give XII a shot.

wow. sorry we cant all be loaded and get every console of every generation.

[pfleck]

its funny that people want the revolution, considering its just an extension of gamecube. regardless all 3 will be amazing. and why would i want to play shooter games on xbox instaed of computer? because i can get my console for under 400 bucks and you spent 2000 grand on a computer to play games.

[Jason Tate]

XBOX 360 will be the wost of all the next gen systems. I know this.
The revolution already has that award, and it's not even playable yet. The ps3 is the only one I'd spend money to buy, purely because I enjoyed my PS2. However, if my current PS2's DVD player stops working again .. I'll buy an xbox360 because sony can go fuck themselves for screwing me out of 2 PS2s that don't work.

You know there was a settlement from sony that you can get your PS2 fixed for free, plus 25 bucks and a free game off a list.

http://www.ps2settlement.com/Index.htm#5

[FreshyFresh23]

But, ya revolution will by far be the worst of the 3 consoles. Nintendo is facing the worst 3rd party support of any console ever so they were forced to announce that you could DL all nintendo games ever.

The controller looks absolutely awful...plus when it is released it will be last and least powerful of all. Nintendo has some great first party franchises as we all know: zelda, mario, etc..

But honestly, it is in last place in the current console wars for a reason..couple great titles, but doesnt really have what it takes to be among the elite.

Couple mario titles, couple zelda titles and that is pretty much the highlight of each nintendo generation.

[Rickywithoutyou]

ive had about 3 PS2's they are poorly made
i wouldnt look to sony for help designing a console
my xbox has held up quite nicely (despite not being able to lift it)
you all doubted the xbox a few years back ...... and it IS the most dominant console on the market today

[Talib Scottie]

I'm getting a Revolution over Xbox, because if PS3 comes out next year, my roomate is getting it. But if it doesn't come out until 07 I'll be able to buy it myself

I've had the same PS2 for years, that's very Case sensative.

The revolution will offer UNIQUE Games and ways to play them. That's something The X-box 360 will never do.

What a foolish thing to say Tate.

I don't think so.

Ocarnia was sold out everywhere when it was released.

Everyone was talking about it.

[Talib Scottie]

Honestly, I think the Metorid, Mario, and Zelda series are enough for me to buy the Revolution. Also, I will not buy an Xbox based soley upon the Xbox Live fees.

[Rickywithoutyou]

yeah, i agree on the revolution offering somethin the others dont and it bein a unique experience
but the gamecube was ignored ... so i dont see how they are going to change that with the revolution?
it will not be as sucessful as the xbox 360 and PS3 ...



which is a HUGE shame

[imirish06]

I don't care

I'll probably get 360 for christmas, and Madden.

I'll then jizz on all your faces in your sleep just because I can.

And I'll be content with all of that, I'm a simple man with simple needs

[Darren McLeod]

But honestly, [GameCube] is in last place in the current console wars....
Check your figures again. If you mean North America, then you are correct. But if you mean Worldwide, there is some fault in your assumption...

[Talib Scottie]

It probably will not be as successful, and that's the thing, I'm not going to debate that it will be more successful then PS3 or Xbox, but personally, I enjoy the fuck out of my Gamecube. The difference between the Gamecube and Revolution is that the Gamecube was just a system. Nothing to stand out from the rest. The Revolution features unique gameplay which will require unique games. I think I'll love it, and I could give a shit less if anybody else purchased it.

I actually looked some stuff and it turns out the PS3 is actually 2x more powerful than the Xbox 360 and 15x more than the revolution (on paper).

I think it's gonna either be PS3 or Revolution for me.

I'm anxious to see what kind of cool games than can make utilizing that crazy controller.

Side Note: They're rumoring PS3 games to cost like 70$? fuck that. I can barley afford 50$ games.

Don't believe him about 15x more powerful than Revolution. Specs have not been released yet for Nintendo's new console.

[Darren McLeod]

Don't believe numbers on paper. They are all lies. Sony talked so much bullshit about PS2's power, and it was all a lie. Sony's claims were about 10x better than GameCube's, and GameCube is the more powerful of the two, so wait and see for yourself.

dont you have to pay fees for some ps2 games? not to mention 50 bucks for the modem..

I'll probably end buying all 3. I'll probably buy a 360 in a few months, the PS3 the first day, and perhaps a Revolution.

[clevername]

Dude, I love how many of these pop up when I'm away for two days. So fucking A, I'm going into overdrive and I'm going to shoot myself tuesday. And after fiddling with the 360 more and more and fielding more frat boy questions then you can imagine, I have no interest in this system whatsoever.

As for prices I see it break down like this:

Revolution will follow in the trend of the GC. Keep it simple and cheap. I have a feeling no more than 350. And even that I think is stretching it a lot...

PS3...Well... It won't be less then 400. Not to mention, it's using flash memory. That means if you don't already have a huge stick... you'll be looking at another probably 100 bucks again. I hope this shit changes and there is a harddrive, but it's not looking good.

Oh... and lemme say, the PS3 controller, as someone else said, is almost a given. There may be a minor tweak, but it's done overall.

I want a new Smash Bros. So I know the revolution is my choice... but I will have a PS3 probably day of as well... Fucking Sony...
