Are you mentally undeveloped? Thats the DEFINITION of a matter of opinion.  God your posts get worse and worse and the people on the forum get dumber just by reading them.

IF you like fast paced multiplayer fun then of COURSE you will think Brawl is better.  I have a feeling I will once they are both released (of course no one can claim either, as you both have, explicitly or implicitly)

How is this NOT a matter of opinion.

Are you insane to even think about getting a PS3? The wii is SOOOO much better, its not even a matter of opinion.

See how stupid that sounded? Well read over your post and compare and contrast.

BRAWL>MGS4.
They are not even in the same legue.

 


 

When I said that, I didn't mean to compare the games, but instead, would he rather play Brawl more, or MGS4 more. You can tell by his avatar that he likes MGS, so in his opinion (maybe) MGS4 > Brawl, which would result in him getting a PS3.

You believe Brawl > MGS4, so if you were in his situation, you would have chosen a Wii over a PS3, under the given circumstances

KH3 is coming to PS3, not Wii? Says who? You? Take that off the list because it's not announced yet for ANY consoles.

Well, considering the main guy and team that made KH1 and KH2 is now in development on FF13: Versus on the PS3, there's a good chance they will also put KH3 on the PS3.  They are also both action/RPGs.

I'm not sure why people post a thread asking for advice, because it is really going to influence your decision?  Maybe it does...

I'd get a PS3 but that's because I have to play MGS4 and FF13 as well as all the other games I've found out about since I got my PS3, including Little Big Planet.

Super Mario Galaxy is fun, I'm sure I'll like Brawl, and I'm having fun with Super Paper Mario right now, but there's only so much mario you can take in 5 years if you ask me.

Well guys it looks like twesterm can predict the future. Hey whose going to win the Super Bowl?

Did you play The Agency to know that its a crappy game because if you didn't then I can say the same about Ghostbusters. And are you overlooking the development for WkS, FFXIII and Verses and Killzone 2 since you know when the games are coming out.



I'll take the case!!!

I can undertsand why many people here say that if you have a 360, then get a Wii, as the PS3 and 360 are similar right now. I mean, they do share a lot of heavey hitters (COD4, Orange Box, etc), however, you can't overlook the 1st party titles. The only reason I didn't get a Wii is because, at this moment, it still falls prey, alongside with the PS3, of the "it has no games" category. Sure, people here will tout Mario Galaxy, and Twilight Princess, but I could talk about Ratchet and Clank and Uncharted.

Right now, I'd say that it's only a matter of price for you.....and like I always say, you pay for what you get. You can get your platforming, action, rpg, ect experience with the Wii for $250, but with lack of HD graphics, poor online, and a WIDE selection of shovelware.

Or you can pay $400 for an entry level PS3, get your action, platforming, adventure, etc experience, with HD graphics, a good online system, multimedia functionality, Blu-ray, etc etc

I know it looks like I just basically said "get a PS3 over a Wii" but look at the price difference. You pay for HD, you pay for the multimedia, you pay for high end technology. I'd say it's all about what you're willing to pay for, at this moment.

In 2008 when the heavy hitters for both consoles come out, then it becomes a matter of which games you want to play more. Brawl or MGS4? Mario Kart or GT5? It's a matter of preference then.

But as of now, depending on your take on the "HD era", that's the only factor when choosing between a Wii or PS3. If you just don't care, get a Wii. If your one of the people with a 42" Samsung HDTV, and a surround sound setup, etc, get a PS3.....for right now. I don't have said setup, but I do care about HD, so I picked up a PS3.

Just my take on things

 

Yeah, like R&C and Uncharted can stand in the shadow of Galaxy and TP. You've named the 2 best exclusive PS3 games and compared them to the best games on Wii, doesn't really look good for PS3, does it?

HD is not that important, play Galaxy and you'll know that.

Did you own a GameCube? If not you can buy some amazing games for a few bucks, since the Wii is backwards compatible. Tales of Symphonia, Baten Kaitos, Zelda Windwaker, Resident Evil 0 & 1 (must buy 4 for Wii), Fire Emblem, Eternal Darkness, Metroid Prime, Paper Mario.

And something to keep in mind if you want to choose between Wii and PS3: The wii has the Virtual Console: Old Mario's, Sonics, Zelda's, NES, SNES, N64, Genesis/Mega Drive, T16 and NeoGeo all downloadable. I love that feature.

 Wait wait wait...youre going down the list downplaying all the PS3 games (except Uncharted, wow one) and then putting NON exclusive Wii games up there cause they "might as well be". Im baffled.

 HD not being important is your opinion. To me it is important, thats why when I look at SMG and MP3 I cringe cause I stopped expecting to see graphics like that a few years ago. 

And Yes, personally, R&C and Uncharted CAN stand in the "shadow" of Galaxy and TP. TP was a major let down for me, i spent more time fishing that I did actually playing the game. Galaxy on the other hand was brilliant, albeit with incredibly short simplistic levels. R&C suffers from simplicity as well, but I enjoy it more than Galaxy because I like the style and prefer the unique weaponary.

 Uncharted as well is fantastic, just because youre a Wii fan doesnt make the PS3's games any less impressive. Also, the Wii's VC is impressive, but the PS3 does have the option of buying old PS games as well...
