This is BS without logic.

XBox 360

Strength- More games

PS3

Strength- Power

When games get better then perhaps the PS3's power will give it the edge but the 360 while being the weaker console has enough power to handle the games being released today.
There are a few titles for the Wii that are definitely not aimed at 'young kids'. I own a Wii mainly because I can play the titles on a non-HD TV without missing out. Unless you buy at ridiculous bargains (My friend managed to land a 42" for $750), you can still build a pretty potent PC for less than an HDTV.

That, and the nostalgia from playing older (NES/SNES) games that I have long since lost the cartridge/system.

For anything more, I just play around on my PC. Granted, the PC market is not what it used to be, but its still alive and well.

I guess I'm just not the gamer I once was, but the XBOX/PS3 don't really appeal to me. The only game I would even like to play on the PS3, inFamous, doesn't justify the price of the system/TV. And most of the 360 games I want to try are eventually ported to the PC.

Arguying about that is pointless, of course you are going to go for the one you got.

Even somebody with all 3 will go with the 360 cuz more of is friends are prolly on it.

My point is, it's all a matter of opinion and what fit your needs more.

I love my ps3 cuz it fits my needs, I could also have a 360 but I don't have enough time to play all the game I would like to have.

I chose my ps3 for one main reason, I am never going to pay to play online.
I was a pc gamer for many many many years, but having to update my pc every so often is hard when you have to pay for everything else in your life.

That's even why I don't play mmorgp that requires a monthly fee.


Blame the others!

I'm sorry but even if Wii has some games not aimed at kids, the ones who make it be so popular are those aimed at kids.

Also, backwards compatibility isn't a winning point against PS3 or XBox 360. Just give me a reason why should I buy a Wii? It gives me nothing new except some kids games. I want new experiences and games around my age, cool story and great graphics (yes graphics are definitely needed, people saying only story is important are hopeless).

I didn't think I was trying to convince anyone. Just giving the viewpoint of someone who does actually enjoy the Wii. Its a system that I can enjoy, and then yes, buy a kiddy game and let my niece have a whirl.

Backwards compatibility might not be a winning point for you. The market Microsoft and Sony are targeting with their console and games generally are not as interested in the older games. But some people, like me, do still like to piss around on old Zelda games. I'm not even old, these are just the games I grew up on.

I will agree with you that graphics are an important part of newer games. That's what I have my PC for; for when I want to play those newer titles.

Wow, this statement is completely false.
If that was true then explain the "PSOne Classics" section of the PSN. Explain why Microsoft is launching the "Games on Demand" which allows you to not only download newer games but older XBOX games as well.

SONY patented something a few months ago that would allow the PS3 to not emulate, but literally understand PS2 media. This fix is distributable through a rather simple firmware update. When SONY will release this is highly debatable, but it's coming.

When the 360 first release almost every "firmware" update was to help increase the backwards compatibility issues they were having with some of original XBOX games. It's rather funny, my friend has the HALO 360, but his console is incapable of playing HALO or HALO 2.

Backwards compatibility is an issue with ANY console




Microsoft is making computer's just like air conditioners; they work properly until you open WINDOWS.

We all know PCs aren't preferred for gaming as much as consoles. with all the upgrades you have to do, people get bored.

And like the other guys, backwards compatibility exists in other console.
