Well Today is my B-day and this person is willing to buy me ANY Next-Gen console which of the three should i buy? (PlayStation3,Xbox360,WII)

[Clix]

Um, it'd be hard to say because we don't know what you like, what you want, or what you're looking for. You know, games, abilities, third party support.

If I wanted to play online, I'd get the 360, if I wanted blu-ray, I'd get a PS3, if I wanted multiplayer fun, I'd get a Wii.

or jstu get the ps3
sell it and buy a wii and 360

Sad to say, this guys almost got a point.


Anyway, in my personal opinion, Wii reigns supreme. But it really depends on the types of games you like to play. Though in any case, I think that if you haven't already jumped at the chance to get a PS3, then you sure as hell can wait longer 'til a price drop or something. Again, just my opinion.

[4ever_sweet]

I would say the WII is the winner.

But I do think since the PS3 is worth more $$, ask for the PS3, return it....take the cash and buy the WII with it. ^-^

[MUGETSU]

Depends.

I'd rather get a Sony because I'd rather get the ability to play blu-ray and games.

Considering I don't even play that much games and the PS3 probably will have the games I like...MGS, Final Fantasy, Madden (for when all my homies come over)...that's all I need anyway. Blu-ray would be good for me because I have an LCD HDTV.

If you want the games on Xbox 360 or Wii then buy them.

sorry burst all of the "resellers" out there but the PS3 really isnt going over it retail price anymore...ebayers are rarely breaking even, some selling lower than what theyve paid, plus the fact that PS3s are more steadily stocked in the stores now than the first month of release...

one of the major reason to buy the PS3 and Wii are backward capability...360 is very limited in this area...PS3/360 are both very high end in their ability to display gorgeous graphics and would likely have a host of great games, the PS3's edge is the fact it has a Blu-Ray drive in it, while if you want the HD-DVD drive for the 360 youll have to buy a $200 addon (which will bring both system price to $600)...but the PS3 has a free online service (free demos, game/movie trailers, and youll be able to buy games made for it as well) while on the 360 online service youll have to pay a monthly fee, they have the same stuff as the PS3, just more and a whole lot better setup...as for the Wii, its got its controllers, gamecube 1.5 graphics, niche games and fun multiplayer...

i say its a toss between PS3 and 360, alot of third party games are appearing on both systems (Assassin's Creed, Oblivion, Saint's Row, GT4, Virtua Fighter 5), while some games are still exclusive to that system, (PS3: MSG4, FFXIII, DMC4, 360: Dead Rising, Halo 3, Gears of War)

[light]

Keep in mind, I don't have any of the systems. But my reccomendation, as well as the console that I'm interested in as well, is the Nintendo Wii. The Wii looks very promising and I have heard many good comments about the console. But in the end, the choice is all up to you. I have no doubt that all three consoles will do well. As others say, it depends on your own interests.

I haven't really been into gaming these days, but this console is catching my attention. I may wait, however. The future games for the Wii are what really interest me (Super Smash Bros., Mario Galaxy, Harvest Moon, Sonic the Hedgehog, etc...).

or jstu get the ps3

wut he said.........get the 60 gb ps3 and then sell it for retail value or trade it in


but if I had to pick, I'd probably choose either the 360 or the Wii. If you're more into graphics and action games, I'd go with the 360. If you're more into multiplayer fun games, the Wii is a good choice as well.

[johnny11358]

man this is so confusing -.- Well im really into RPGS/Shooters/action games

[beloved-shadowqueen]

Go for the Wii, that is what I'm going to buy first, later in a few years or maybe next year I will get a PS3. All the good games will be out by then, plus I bet stuff will be a little cheaper too.

True...but i bought the DS last time not the LITE the original FAT ONE cause i didnt know the Lite would come out so when Lite came out i sold it for a PSP and im enjoying it more than the DS.

[beloved-shadowqueen]

I have a Psp, but I never even use it. I'm getting a DS, for thoses new Final Fantasys, plus I heard FFXIII will be on there once it comes out.

we know that...but seriously a retail ps3 = retail 360+ retail wii price wise
so i say tell ur "friend" to buy the ps3 for u and get the wii and 360
im sure ull be happier with both than the ps3 itself

[MUGETSU]

True...but i bought the DS last time not the LITE the original FAT ONE cause i didnt know the Lite would come out so when Lite came out i sold it for a PSP and im enjoying it more than the DS.

i had a PSP and I sold it for a DS lite

I beat all the good games for PSP and there weren't any left that I liked. lol

I'm happy with my DS lite. I'm going to get an m3 simply soon so i can homebrew, roms, music and videos on it!

A lot of people have the misconception that the Wii's graphics are just not worth looking at...which is true when you compare them to PS3 and the 360, but keep in mind that in order to fully enjoy the wonderful graphical experiences set by the PS3 and the 360, you will definitely need an HD TV (if you don't already have one) because the HD is really what makes the graphics so beautiful looking in the first place. To even think about playing those two consoles on a standard TV is a serious insult to them. Wii, on the other hand, does not require an HD TV for full enjoyment of graphics, yet its graphics are at least twice as powerful than the gamecube's (the graphics are least definitely more powerful than the original xbox's). Almost 80% of the games out there don't even show the full graphical might of the Wii so far (probably because a lot of the Wii games are just ports anyway, and Twilight princess is unfortunately no different), so it's important to not dismiss the Wii's graphics completely.

Now, as I already have the Wii, I am now limited to choosing either the PS3 and the 360...and I would choose the 360. Microsoft was really smart in their strategies when the console war finally started. Before the PS3 and the Wii came out, I never so much as looked at the 360, because none of the games it had really interested me...until they started pulling out all the big guns with Gears of War, Lost Planet, Unreal Tournament 3, Guitar Hero 2, Halo 3...all as soon as the console wars started. Smart, huh?

As for handhelds...I have only been using the PSP to update the PSP . None of the games truly satisfy me. The one game console I have bought the most games for in the last month out of all of my consoles...has to be the DS LITE.

[<3goesDOKIDOKI]

happy birthday!

get the ps3!

you should also consider what type of games you like to play...


edit-- if you're into rpg, shooting games etc.. the wii isnt really for u
so far theres only, what i think are, kiddy games out.
sure its fun just to play but if its not your thing why even bother

[Nightmare]

Tell them you want a PS3. Then buy yourself a Wii.

[knockblock]

No love for the Xbob 360.

[dudeman]

For the PS3, I would recommend it...way, way, later on, as in SO later.

And I'm not just talking about price reductions (which actually are probably gonna start way later in life anyway).

The main reason to get it later is because of the cooler games coming out for it, like Metal Gear Solid 4, Final Fantasy 13 and Versus 13, Resident Evil 5, basically any major title that already stood out on the PS2 above all the rest. Those games that I mentioned are gonna boast graphics that would blow Resistance clear out of the water, especially final fantasy, because SE utilized a special gaming engine (called white engine or something) that makes it look really crazy. Not only that, but the later final fantasy titles will utilize the Unreal Engine, which was used to make the awesome Gears of War game look stunning.

Of course, that's only if you even LIKE those titles...(Not that you shouldn't have any reason not to like them anyway).

But until the awesome games come out...Wii first, 360 second. (if you don't already have them)
