Forums - Gaming Discussion - Anyone else starting to feel they won't need a HD console after all?

The Wii has no games that interest me at all, let alone the exclusive ones, so the console i won't need this gen is the Wii!

ya, skip the HD consoles, next generation play the UHD consoles.

I know your being sarcastic, hehe, but really HD consoles are awesome. You don't "need" any console, but if you can get the money together and you only own a Wii, get yourself a HD console, they have some great games and experiences.

Same goes for the Wii. If you only own a HD console, don't miss the Wii, it's vastly under-rated on the internet, and it's actually quite a great machine if your just picking one up. Especially if you missed the gamecube era.

 

I think that is a significant reason the HD consoles don't sell at Wii levels. Most just buy one or the other, PS3 or 360. The PS2/Casual/Broke/Young audience only has the Wii as an option. Not to say the Wii only sells because it's cheap or casual. As a hardcore gamer, I know many, many people bought the machine to play Galaxy, Brawl, Kart, NMH, Zack and Wiki, and a few other really fun hardcore games on that system, and it's easily worth owning.

 

 As for which HD console to own? Well if you don't own a gaming PC, I'd take a 360 over a PS3 anyday. If you buy a PS3 now, you'll be marginally dissapointed.

NO NO, NO NO NO.

i quit pc gaming too, and i dont need it, i got a ps3. I use to like pc gaming because their games always looked better, but now there's barely a difference.

 

 Not much of a difference? If you don't see any now, wait until the end of this generation.

Buy a PC next year then. You will once again see a major difference even with a standard range PC, this is how it is every Console cycle.

it's a whole different experience playing on a PC, console-gaming feels different..

I'm with you! At least I like knowing I have my PC available if I want it. I haven't had time to get involved in a PC game since COD2, but it's there if some fantastic game comes up. I suspect in six months to a year we won't believe we ever talked about a lack of any type of game on the Wii. Money talks and the May NPD was hollering for the slow learners.

So I'm with Parokki too, so far the really intesting 360 games are on PC, or eventually comes to PC, and the PS3 exclusives are kinda meh, maybe at the end I will get a 360 or a PS3 but only if there is some great games only for it...

Well I think the PS3 in particular offers the type of exclsuive you'll never find on the PC .

I also like the idea of all the software I buy being optmized for my console as opposed to upgrading my rig every X years to avoid a mental break down.
