Forums - Gaming Discussion - IMO everyone needs a Wii and a PS3 or a Wii and a Xbox 360

This thread reminds me of the early Microsoft line about the PS3 -- that you could buy a Xbox 360 and a Wii for the price of a PS3.

If you want total game coverage, a Wii and an HD console will get almost everything out there worth having.

Those were examples

Motorstorm pacific rift(casual/core monster)

Resistance fall of man(co-op + local matches with up to 4 players)(core mosnter)

Gran turismo 5 prolauge(casual/core monster)

Soul caliber 4(hardcore)

guitar hero/rock band(casual monster)

Pixej junk racers(Casual monster)

pixej junk monsters(casual monster)

pixel junk eden(casual monster)

RAINBOX 6 VEGAS(casual/core/hardcore)

Battle field bad company(core)

Madden? NBA 2K? NBA LIVE? etc...

PS3 has alot of local games, and so does the XBOX 360, its stupid to say it has any less than the wii.

 

Once again, you missed the original point... there are very few local four-player games for the PS3 that are easily played by a general audience.  Many of the games you list do not support local four-player at all, let alone the distinction of being "core" or "casual".

I have war hawk - when you don't use the sixaxis that game isn't too bad, I wish the game had a bit more but it's really good though 6/10 in my book. What's Singstar?

I've always seen it in gamestop and it had some hippster with glasses that my friends always joked thinking it was some trashy variation of guitar hero/rockband and the guy on the cover was the developer because they were so cheap they couldn't hire actors.



I'm Unamerica and you can too.

You must have some "specialized" versions of GT5P, Battlefield: BC, Pixeljunk Monsters, and Rainbow Six: Vegas if they have local four-player support on a single system.  Many of the other games that you mention have not even been released, such as Soul Calibur IV (which is not likely to include a four-player mode in any case).

Yea it really is the best. And a handheld as an extra.
Too bad this thread got flooded with fanboys,really anti-socials and "Wii is only casual" shit.



this is what i'm thinking as well!!

everyone needs to have a Wii and Ps3/Xbox360 as those two are so similar where the Wii is different, i think that's why Wii is selling the most!!

also, i guess Ps3 is selling more than Xbox360 lately because of the price drop and the blu-ray, so i guess if nothing changes after the E3, Wii will have huge sales, followed by Ps3 and then Xbox360 far away from Ps3 as it seems.....

Hell yea!

 



I think the Wii is a nice console and everything, but I don't think i would ever own one but I've played it many time's before at my friends house and I just don't see myself owning JUST a Wii (even though I already own a PS3, but if I never did own a PS3 I can't see myself with just the Wii), I mean it's nice the way it is now because I got a PS3 and when I go to my friends house we sometimes play the Wii (haven't played it in a long time though?) so that's why I find it's a good mixture to have the two together, one for casual fun playing time, and another for hardcore crazy action time. 

But I also agree with some of you that is saying the PS3 is somewhat both a casual and hardcore console, IMO i find it to be a little more of a hardcore machine, but by the end of 2008 that might change a little.

(I don't have much to say about the Xbox 360, I don't know much about it, all I know is it's mainly for hardcore players that like FPS's, so that's why I'm saying it's a hardcore machine, I don't know maybe it is somewhat in the category of the PS3 where it's close to the middle of a casual and hardcore gaming machine)



I don't need a wii.
