What's this war all about?

fooflexible said: When you step back every system offers a satisfying game experience. To say any system just totally stinks is crazy. For example I owned a TurboGraphix 16 it failed on the market but I loved it. Back then I felt it was worth the purchase and still love it's games today.(Bonk on VC hoorah!) My brother owned the 3DO for the lousy system is was it still had a hand full of good games. Same thing goes for the failed Dreamcast which seems to have a huge cult following. And these new 3 systems are light years ahead of those systems. To say the Wii isn't innovative because motion sensing technology was being used in other industries is plain silly. They were the first to introduce motion sensing to a home console. If your only going to call a game system innovative if it has never ever seen before technology then your never going to see an innovative console period. Innovation is also defined by putting existing concepts together that no one had done before. Then you say the ps3 isn't doing what it's predecessors did, but you say ps1 introduced cd, and ps2 dvd with better graphics, isn't ps3 following that to a T with Blu-ray and even better graphics? Really what else could people ask of the ps3 other then a price cut. Also the 360 a console without a soul? how can anyone assume the 360 is the same thing as a PC and excuse all the exclusive games? Look at what's coming, have you seen shots of Alan Wake? It's the most amazing looking thing. Have you seen the sheer size of Mass Effect, and how amazing this game looks. Not to mention Halo 3, Blue Dragon, Too Human, and many more. You won't find that on the pc. You won't find it an coming anywhere but the 360. These systems are worth their weight in gold, and they deserve the fans they have.

Nice post. I agree on the PS3. It follows Sonys success patterns exactly. I agree on the Wii. It is new, and different. However I feel the controls are gimmicky, the pointer isnt precise enough, and the 'motion' sensor is crap, and it dosent have enough buttons for an advanced game. That's my beef with the Wii besides power. And I dont think power is everything. I think controls are everything. (why else would I buy a 250$ X-Box, and a 200$ game to go on it) The PS3 has the controls of a PS2, with added functionality. I loved the PS2 controller. How can you go wrong with a new and enhanced version of it? The 360, has the 'Slim' Controller from the original X-Box. I hated the big beast. But it felt good in my hands. The small one is just too damn small. My 'medium' sized hands just dont fit it confy. The new PS3 controller has actually enhanced the back finger buttons by adding some height to them, so it is easier to fit 2 fingers back there instead of just 1. I think the PS3 apears to be the market lemon right now. But I expect the Wii to get that title in 2008. With the 360, just truckin' along Halo's Success. I hated Halo2. It was nothing new, it was a copy of a GREAT idea. Same game, diffrent name. Blue Dragon looks good, and from what I have read Alan Wake is just a Crysis clone. As a rule of thumb. I have a 50% chance of the games I want on the 360, to either have the same game on my computer, or a better one in the same class. Now in another 6 months to a year... i'd say it'd be worth buying for me. Rember I can run oblivion @ 1080p on my computer and it be CPU limited on my C2D. Hard to top that on anything. The games that come for the PS3 are either. a) PS3 exclusive. or b) PS3/360 Games that come for the 360 are. a) 360/PC b) PS3/360 c) The rare 360 exclusive I'm interested in. My point is, The PS3 gets me stuff I cant get with the 360. My computer can do the stuff the 360 can do. Basically if I want FPS. I got my computer. If I want RTS. I got my computer. If I want RPG. I got my PS3. If I want action arcade. I got my PS3. If I want gimmicky cheap-ass games. I got a Wii. What does the 360 bring to the table for me? Because if you think Halo3 will top Crysis... Hah. I'll probiblaly get a 360 before Vista tho. I REALLY wanna play dead rising, and Viva.
