Ok, I'm a bias Sony fan, but in some ways the ps3 will be as fun if not funnier than the Wii. Why?

Well the Wii has a remote and Wii fit and some now Karaoke games -

Sony has sixaxis games (ok not as great, but still make it fun), Eye toy,EOJ Card game, Singstar, buzz, home, lbp, Blue Ray, new school dlc like Flow, online gameplay (even with the psn games) Folding etc.

So in essence Sony has a broad base of entertainment which people have the choice to play with. Where as the Wii has the same old mini game, repetitive and dust gathering choices for people, that will get old after some time.

This is my viewpoint only!!!

@finalsquall,

i think its funny how the only way what you said makes any sense is simply because the only thing you said for the wii is that it has a remote, wii fit, and some karaoke games. you failed to mention that the wii also has a great lineup of games(including wii sports which might be the most purely fun game out so far this gen), online gameplay, tons of great VC games, next year will get new downloadable games, etc. And also you listed some ps3 things that aren't even out yet. i just thought your post was pretty funny in the way you proved your point simply by ignoring everything the wii offers.

 and to the motorstorm vs. excite truck debate. i played excite truck in a gamestop a few days before the wii came out and thought it was at best mediocre. that game proved that moving the controller to steer in racing games is not nearly as fun as using a normal analog stick (which is the one reason why i fear for mario kart). that said, i've played motorstorm several times in gamestops and i would say it is slightly better but not by much. i wouldn't really be too excited to compare the systems based off of mediocre games like those. those games are definitely nothing compared to the good racing games that have come out on past systems.

For me, they are more fun, I much more of an old school gamer thats all. Not to say Wii games arent fun, ill be looking forward to playing SSBB. But im happy with COD4 and Uncharted all the same :)

 

This was so funny, that i had to quote this. :) I'm not bashing you or anything like that, it's just that you are still so young. You see, even that Wii is the most modern console at the moment (or would post-modern be better word?), it offers the most old-school experience in the most modern way. And then there's Virtual Console, for real old-school experience, in real old-school way. @le_patriote&Outlaw: About parents buying consoles for their kids, some buy something instead, if they can't find what kids wanted, although most don't buy. Some buy console for their kids, without kids even asking. And then there's the other relatives, who buy consoles for familys kids, and who don't understand the importance of having a specific console.

yeah bdbdbd seriously when that kid said he is much more of an old school gamer i thought he was gonna say he likes the wii a lot more. silly young kids who started playing games last gen and don't know what old school means. i especially like when he mentions COD4 as though a first person shooter is old school. very funny.


 I see how me playing on the NES and SNES as my first consoles is me starting last gen. Well done making assumptions "old man". How is 17 a kid? Honestly.

Old school was the wrong term to use admittedly, but I think the point I was making was pretty clear without being pulled up over a technicality. Its called semantics, old school in terms of the console generation would look back at the NES/SNES standard controller interface, which isnt what the Wii provides. 

Plus, FPS has been an established genre for nearly 20 years..not exactly a recent innovation in gaming is it?

what is fun is relative to that person's tastes.

Also, if the wii is selling out; then parents have to get their kids another game console for Christmas.
Very true. I played Wii sports and didn't have any fun whatsoever. I just didn't get what the buzz was all about.

 


Try Galaxy...Metroid,Excite truck,zelda,mohh2 online...and may be you gonna understand what's the buzz is about.

On another side...i can understand you...i played LAIR and Motorstorm on the Ps3 and understood why the Ps3 was a lot behind.


thas just like saying Cruisin for wii makes ps3 fans think its strange the wii is in front because ps3 has uncharted


I was gonna reply with something along those lines but you beat me to it.

It's not my fault my friend only has Wii sports, what do you want me to do? Buy the games for him?

BTW Motorstorm >>>>>>>>>> Any racing game out on the Wii right now, you should've said Nascar 08 instead since that game does suck.


Its not your fault your friend only got wii sport...and its not my fault you say the wii its not fun only based on wiisport.

And...i got a LOT MORE FUN playing Excite truck than motorstorm....just the speed effect ...

WTF are you talking about? Listen I didn't have fun with the Wii, get over it. I haven't played Excite Truck first hand so I can't judge it, but based on media reviews, Motorstorm> Excite Truck

 


and reader averages say Motor Storm = Excite Truck

 


To each their own, I don't consider reader's average because too many fanboys screw and skew the rating, but if you like using that then that's cool too. I like looking at reviews from metacritics and gamerankings, sometimes IGN and Gamespot.


 and didn't the kane lynch debacle prove that professional reviews are absolutely worthless? face it they will always be influenced by advertisers as that is how they make their money

and frankly the number of  votes in reader reviews generally should give them plenty of creedence, just because it doesn't favor the games you want more to be better doesn't make them off.

I trust game reviews about as much as I trust orcs.

How many spins can you do in Motorstorm? I've done a 1440 in Excite Truck, and my buddy did an 1800.

Leo-j - As an owner of a 60 GB PS3 I am pissed off that I actually rushed out to buy one.. yes I mean it, yes I gave it it's fair shake and yes I highly prefer the Wii... believe me I'd love to like it and more than one game on it(Ratchet & Clank is pretty good) but I just can't even force myself to enjoy it beyond that.(Disclaimer, I truely hope that this fact changes in the near future.)

So is Uncharted infinitely more fun than Mario Galaxy?

Better graphics: Motorstorm Length: Both losers if you ask me Controller: Can argue analog over motion all you want I bought it figuring to use motion on both and Excite truck did a slightly better job of not feeling so loose.. -slightly-

I've enjoyed one game on the Wii so far - SMG. I enjoy Wii Sports drunk with my friends. Everything else IMO, feels like a PS2 but moving the controller instead of pushing a button. I have yet to try Trauma Center yet, but heard its good.

Oh well. I guess its one of those things that is really popular that I can't get myself to like - like Rap music or Halo for that matter.



"Naturally the common people don't want war: Neither in Russia, nor in England, nor for that matter in Germany. That is understood. But, after all, IT IS THE LEADERS of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is TELL THEM THEY ARE BEING ATTACKED, and denounce the peacemakers for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. IT WORKS THE SAME IN ANY COUNTRY."  --Hermann Goering, leading Nazi party member, at the Nuremberg War Crime Trials
