1. Oblivion loads twice as fast and looks better on the PS3. It's a great game and not limited on the consoles. I'm a huge PC gamer and have played a lot of RPGs on the PC. Oblivion is excellent on the PS3. You can try to dismiss it as a PC port if you want, and you can then do that with a lot of 360 games, but it's still not on the Wii.

2. Resistance is a great console FPS. If you don't like FPS on consoles, I guess you won't like Metroid Prime 3. Oh, and UT3 will support keyboard and mouse on the PS3.

3. Has excellent graphics since it was completely redone. It also has 3 new levels. It's not just a port. It certainly added a lot more than RE4 for the Wii did.

4. If you think Virtua Fighter and Tekken are the same game, you are obviously not a fan of fighting games. That said, Tekken 5 with online play is on the PS3, Tekken 6 will be on the PS3 (exclusive), and Virtua Fighter 5 isn't out on anything else yet.

5. Play it on the PC then, but it's still a great port.

6. "Sports games are for casual gamers." Your opinions just became worthless. Not only is that statement false, but even if only casual gamers played sports games does not suddenly make them not count. Nice try, though, seeing as how most sports games will be better on the PS3 and 360.

15. Interesting you say the Wii version is better when it has received bad ratings because of its flawed control. In fact, the PS2 version is rated higher so far. It's 78 average so far on the PS3 based on 8 reviews, whereas the Wii version has 70, 70, and 60 review scores. The PS2 is 75, 70, 60. Go figure.

Finally, I'm sorry you don't like RR and Tony Hawk, because a lot of people do, especially Tony Hawk. RR happens to be my second favorite arcade racing game next to Midnight Club.

 

Now, to answer those of you that fairly said it was only my "opinion" that the PS3 has a far better lineup than the Wii, I was merely using gameranking.com (or metacritic) as my reason for this.  If you'd like me to post those numbers I can.  Games over 77%:  23 to 8, PS3.  Over 75%:  23 to 12 PS3.

Since the PS3 games are under attack, though: Zelda is a gamecube port with a different control scheme, Paper Mario was ported to the Wii and to screw over the gamecube owners not also released on the gamecube, and many of the Wii games are also on the PS2. However, I was merely going by the average reviews.

My overall point, and the reason I posted the original post, is that the PS3 does have great games to play already. It has more solid games than the Wii, it is catching up to the 360 by including many of its best games while adding perhaps (opinions will vary) the best FPS multiplayer going right now (Resistance...lag free 40 players) and Motorstorm, which also has lag-free online play up to 12 people (as does RR7). Motorstorm, btw, gets critized for only having 8 "maps" but there are multiple tracks per "map" and different vehicles go different ways. It's really an amazing racing game and great to play in first person with motion controls.

Anyway, we'll see how the $100 price drop works out.

We could argue opinions on games all day, but this isn't the board for it.  I think I showed you the opposing viewpoint sufficiently with one post.  If you want facts, the facts are that the games on the PS3 now aren't enough to justify the purchase of a $600 system to any more than 3.5 million people, regardless of what they got on gamerankings.  The Wii games are enough for the system to be sold out, however.  If you want a prediction, I'm going to be predict that PS3 is never going to get enough games over the Wii for people to want to pay far more for it.  The Wii will easily be able to compete with the PS3 in the present, and it's going to get more 3rd party support and be able to compete with it in the future.  I'm looking forward to the $100 price drop too.  If it does amazing things for the PS3 I see the PS3 beating the 360.  If it does nothing the 360 will beat it in the long run.  Either way, I think it's a good thing to have a good system that allows you to get some use out of HDTVs, the damn Wii looks better on an SDTV.  I'm going to make a wild guess though and say that the same people who didn't want a $600 system are not going to want a $500 system.  I'm also looking forward to E3, let's see which console has the most impressive show.
