If the new HDMI builds will be reliable I'll prolly get an Xbox 360.

With comments like these..

"1. Because we all know lacking choices is great for the consumer, right? You don't see any other company making only one model of a product.

2. it makes no sense, since PS3 is just as reliable as Wii.

3. ...or like how Nintendo focused on Wiimote but with 2 of their biggest games, people rather play them on old controller?

Honestly, those are some of the worst reason to pick up a Wii. It's almost as bad as my ex's "Because it comes in pink" reason.

The reason to get a Wii:

1. Nintendo first party games.

2. completely different way to play games.

3. it's less expensive. "

He should just change his name to kingofphail..

I find that funny, since there have been 8 mario paries, over 20 mario sports games, over 10 pokemon games, over 5 metroid games, over 10 zelda games, over 5 wario games, I MEAN YOU CAN GO ON FOR LIKE 4 MORE FRANCHISES AND THAT'S ALL THEY've DONE IN  28 years.

all consoles have reasons not to get them. they all have too many to count.

that being said, they are all great buys and im soon gona be pswii. brawl and sony franchises ftw!

 it is easy to tell which franchise you like

hence the name!!!

agree: the exclsive games and all

plus the unique controller scheme. 

glad you like you Wii, i love mine too

I would recommend you to get a 360 too, microsoft offers 3 year warranty on xbox 360's, it also has the best library of games this gen, its cheaper than the ps3, and it haas the best online service.

Has all intelligence left thee internet? This thread started out nice enough...

I think the OP was a well-thought-out presentation of a reasonable opinion, and I'm glad FaithRaven is here to share it with us. I hope that the reactions of certain members don't give this new member a bad impression of us.

However, I have to say that the OP could have been better articulated. For instance, although Point 3 itself was perfectly understandable, the title is nonsense to me.
"3. Straight Orietantion. I still laugh at Sony when they said that rumble is last gen and then they've added it to the PS3 controller a few months later."
What the heck does "Straight Orientation" mean? Are you calling the Sixaxis gay?

I'll say I hope you enjoy your purchase.

- Right now on PS3 there isn't much your missing, this year that will change with the great games coming. Theres like 100 topics on the great games coming, so i won't name them. You should buy the PS3 around the start of 2009, that would be perfect cause most games would be out and FF13 would be close.

- On 360 your missing it in its prime. Halo 3, Gears of War are out. After GTA4 it will only go downhill (imo), with a few speedbumps on the way such as Fable 2, Too human, etc. to slow down its downfall. I'd say buy it now before its too far past its prime.

- Wii I can't really say. I think with SSBB and SMG and others out already its hitting a peak. I think it will be slow till Mario Kart comes around.
