Wii or PS3?

[girlgamer1984]

@ Misa Misa. Did you even read my post? Or just decided to ignore everything. Firstly, you were the one to bring this whole argument into discussion. Secondly, I have asked you this at least 5 time now; what do you exactly mean about innovation?

As for the Wii it's just too childish for my taste, although there are some games I would like to try, Super Smash Bros. Brawl is one of them. The Xbox 360 is a good medium, it doesn't cost as much as the Ps3, as good games and it as HD. But between Ps3 and Wii, I would probably go with the Ps3, although it costs like hell and doesn't have many games, it as a more hardcore gamer feeling in it.

I fail to see how A $50 difference makes the PS3 "cost like hell." Don't even mention the Arcade because it's worthless. Less than the cost of a single game makes a system cost an arm and a leg? (you did bring 360 into this...again)

You said exactly the same thing as Tyrien, so I gave you exactly the same reply.

By innovation I mean the new features which are not currently present on other a games consoles, such as the motion sensors. Also, look at the Wii Board. It can detect exactly where you are standing and if you move it knows where you have moved to, which could be an amazing addition to future games. You could actually physically walk around, open door handles and so on. Actually be in the game. The Wii is undeniably more interactive than the other consoles, and that is of course the main point in it. The only thing that was ever sort of similar was the Eye-Toy which was really buggy and didn't really take off, also you could only do extremely simple things with it.

PS3 is brining out MGS and other great games, including Final Fantasy XIII, White Knight choronicles etc. As far as the games are concerned, then 360 is a failure so far imo.

Well, putting it on does terms the Ps3 is even more expensive with the accessories. I don't think Xbox 360 as failed in given good games, you have Bioshock, Halo 3, Forza Motorsport 2, Mass Effect. And you have many models that adapt to everyones pocket. It doesn't have all that fancy gadgets as the Ps3 does, but it as its high points.

Here, the difference between the Xbox 360 (389,99 euros) and the Ps3(399,99) is like 20 euros, but the difference was bigger.

Nintendo just grabbed an old idea, the motion sensors have been used on the cinema industry "since ages", and reduced so it would fit on the living room, so I wouldn't say it was innovative.
Still it is a good idea.

Eye toy was buggy? Care to give some sort of proof! Motion sensing! PS3 has sixaxis as well, so I really do not see anything extraordinarily innovative on Wii to be very honest. Also, the games that you mentioned earlier are only liked by the lobby of casul gamers, and no one else. Nintendo are the one publishing, and developing most of the titles... No wonder, they are not moving forward.

Gears, and Halo three are the only games that did good business on 360, and bioshock. As far as the accessories go, then I still stand correct. 360 is just as expensive as Ps3.

I've played Eye-Toy loads, it can't always detect where you are at all, thus making it shit. PS3's Sixaxis is just crap, and hmm funny how they only released it AFTER it was made obvious Nintendo Wii was motion sensored. I haven't seen any games where the Sixaxis was endorsed. Uhm, casual gamers probably make up the majority of gamers. Since when was The Legend of Zelda casual? Not to mention Mario Galaxy. I wouldn't say either of those were for the casual gamer.

The Cinema industry uses motion sensors for completely different things, and your right it is an undeniably good idea to bring this into video gaming. In a few years I reckon all consoles will have this kind of system, the controller is just getting old and I think it's time for something new and more interactive which the Wii has pioneered.

I don't say does are the only, Forza did pretty good, for example. And some of the games you named haven't hit the market yet, so for now you only have the multi-plataform games and some mildly good games, like Heavenly Sword. As for the accessories you don't need them all, and it also as native HD by components something I don't recall on the PS3.

But the base is the same for both and yes the controller is getting old but it will not be substituted by the motion sensors, it will probably be substitute by some kind of helmet that will allow you to play the game without the inconveniences of the motion sensor remote.

Well it's all speculation it could be anything. Though helmet devices are those kind of things you see on Sci-Fi films from the 70s

I'm really excited to see what the next set of consoles by Sony, Nintendo and Mircosoft will be. They just keep topping the last console they did. I reckon it would be awesome if Nintendo kept the motion sensor thing with the graphics on the PS3 and the online play of the Xbox 360. That would be the ultimate console
