solidius23 Posted November 2, 2006 Posted November 2, 2006 im getting both but i will concentrate on my ps3 till after the new yr then i will get a wii i just see the wii running out of steam soon only so many times u can make similar titles using that controller. the only reason i would consider getting a 360 after november would be gears of war and halo 3 maybe.
Sybarite Paladin AxL Posted November 3, 2006 Posted November 3, 2006 Both. Wii is the king of good rumors, and PS3 for Final Fantasy. I won't buy either at launch, so I can avoid the type of problems that might come with the first versions (see joke console xbox 360). While I lack the money to buy either currently, or the NDS Lite for that matter, I just want them both really bad. I certainly look forward to stuff like backwards compatibility on both consoles, or methods of playing "backups" and emulators.
Elazul Yagami Posted November 3, 2006 Posted November 3, 2006 Wii It's the first console since the snes that i'm actually waiting for and excited for.
BlackKnight Posted November 10, 2006 Posted November 10, 2006 PS3. Itl have MGS4, Final Fantasy, Armored Core and whatever fighting game ports Ill be wanting down the track. The BD, HDMI Wifi and all those extra luxuries... not to mention PS backward compatibility... and are all I really want from a console. Wii.. yeh it looks cool and is cheap and all but all its got so far is the vague promise that this motion/ waving crap will actually turn out to be innovative and not just a gayass gimmick. And even then I dont really want to wave my arms about in an eyetoyesuq way or shift my gaming mindset for a cheap price tag and a few (so far) hollow promises. Oh and paying $5 for Mega Drive roms? Nintendo, go flock yourself. (Case in point, I already own all the PSX games Id want to play on my PS3... dont need to re-buy them). Either way, neither at launch and Im willing to see how things go.
CJ Jackson Posted November 10, 2006 Posted November 10, 2006 (edited) Nintendo Wii, because of the bad reputation of the PS3 blu-ray drive, I wouldn't want a console that will have a faulty drive. Edited November 10, 2006 by Hexter
Wizard Posted November 10, 2006 Posted November 10, 2006 The only fighting games you can REALLY expect on the PS3 are 3D ones now that Sony is *really* going to be saying what minimum is. But in end. I want VF5, therefor need a PS3. When I want 2D fighters. 360 and Wii all the way.
BlackKnight Posted November 10, 2006 Posted November 10, 2006 There arent any 2D ones Id want that I dont already have on PS2 (with the ostensible exception of Third Strike) and yeh if there is a Tekken 6 I wanna play it. And anyway thats just SCEA. Last month SSV, KOFXI and Neowave were all released at budget prices here in Aus. I figure in Europe theyll still get their business online or otherwise. Fighting game ports on the Wii though? Yeh it makes sense but I dont have a good feeling about that.
Wizard Posted November 11, 2006 Posted November 11, 2006 Ignition Entertainment is responsible for those ports. Not SNK They were already released in Europe. SCEJ is going to start their set of enforcement soon. Classic Shell + fighting games = FTW

Oh and did I forget to mention that the PS3 is an open platform? 1.10 supports homebrew so... hmm... that makes the choice even more difficult...
Jitway Posted November 12, 2006 Posted November 12, 2006 I will be buying the Ps3. Me and a friend are buying as many as we can get our greedy little mits on. Did the same thing with the Xbox, Ps2 and Xbox360. Then sold them on eBay for a nice profit. I would never pay the price for a new Ps3. But the rich parents of the spoiled brats out there will.

And that supports homebrew, is that, you know, legally?
BlackKnight Posted November 12, 2006 Posted November 12, 2006 And that supports homebrew, is that, you know, legally? ...what? But yeh 'sif I don't own the originals.
Nanook128 Posted November 12, 2006 Posted November 12, 2006 Well I am happy with my 360, but if I had to pick one of the options I would pick the wii. Sony just doesn’t seem to have it’s game together this platform, while Nintendo, after a LONG run of mishaps, seems to be back on track. With Sony only having 1 game that I want (and rumors flying that it might make it to the xbox) I see little reason to drop $600 on it.
iq_132 Posted November 16, 2006 Posted November 16, 2006 having actually played the wii (excite truck) and the ps3 (??), i still have to say that i like the wii much better. the ps3 really didnt impress me much graphically (though it may have just been the game), but i honestly think i saw better graphics on the xb360. the graphics on the wii are certainly sub-par for being next-gen, but nintendo has never claimed that the wii was next-gen, but rather something else entirely. excite truck was a lot of fun to play, but hard to get the hang of, i didnt know how to go forward at first, then i figured it out, and then i got the tilt on the wiimote, but it was too touchy (i couldnt adjust it, so i was s.o.l.). i really wish theyd put wii sports in that particular kiosk. as for the ps3 game, i didnt catch the name on it, but it was a dirt bike game with a lot of jumping of ramps and crashing into things. the blur effect was more irritating and the environments were very boring and uninteresting. the texture effects were very nice, and 3d models were very high in poly count, but still not like anything i have seen on the 360 thus far. also, the controller on the ps3, i dont think this was the sixway (or whatever it is called), but the L2 and R2 triggers have a small lip on the bottom of them to make them easier on the fingers, it was weird at first, but quickly became the norm. ps. sorry for the lack of caps, but using a busted keyboard atm.
