Forums - Gaming - What the ONE major problem you have with each of the 3 consoles.

Wii - Friend codes, no voice-chat, and games do get boring time after time.

PS3 - Price and all of the "games" are delayed

360 - rrod , every1 i no that has one plays "halo 3" "all the time" and nothing else



Above I'm a proud Gran Turismo fan, not a Sony fanboy, and now a proud 360 owner, but sharing xbox live accts ATM

End of 2009 Predictions (made Jan 1, 2009): My predictions were pretty accurate, the 360 was over and the Wii was just under.

Wii: 65 mil (yea I'm crazy) 360: 35 mil (its getting there) PS3: 30 mil (the slim better do well)

End of 2010 Predictions (made Jan 7, 2010):

Wii: 81 mil  360: 47 mil PS3: 45 mil

360- Paying to play online is stupid and make it no better, RRoD

PS3- Lack of PS eye support, Lack of JRPGs at the moment

Wii- Worst online gaming setup in history. PS2, xbox and dreamcast all had better online services and support. After almost 2 years still weak third party core games in other words Shovelware.

Wii:
All the games that pique my interests are coming next year.
Casual stuff pisses me off (what it does, sorry)
VC titles don't appeal to me yet
No good wrestling game......yet
Wiimote can't let you play some genres

Xbox 360:
Trash hardware (straight to the point)
Anti-Street Fighter D-Pad
Saving games and profile maintenance is rocket science
Dashboard is Wack Juice
Fear of RROD (check trash hardware)

PS3:
No library,so no reason at all for me to buy it
Installations
Sony PR
Natural bias against Sony for last-gen's mauling
No Legend of Dragoon 2 (can't blame em' but still)
Too big, so it gets too hot
Dissolving of most good PS franchises (Tomb Raider, Syphon Filter)


^^^Just regard the ones that concern the systems, not the company

Two problems (well more than 2, these just are wrong) with your list. The PS3 doesn't get hot at all. It's a very silent and cool console.

Tomb Raider games have done nothing but gotten better. Tomb Raider Legend and Anneiversary were both great games, and Tomb Raider: Underworld looks like fun. On to Syphon Filter.

Have you played the PSP versions? They are both GREAT games and a HUGE step up in quality from the PS2 games.

Wii -- Storage space ... and I could go for a unified Friend's Code setup.

Xbox 360 -- Reliability issues. I don't have one and have been scared off by TRL/RROD.

PS3 -- Removal of backward compatibility. I had planned on getting a PS3 to replace my PS2.

Who feels that there are enough games on all systems to appeal to any gamer -- but there are certainly more of certain types on different systems.

I like to jump around, and would lead a fairly serene and aimless existence if it weren't for my friends always getting into trouble. I love to help out, even when it puts me at risk. I seem to make friends with people who just can't stay out of trouble.

Wii Friend Code: 1624 6601 1126 1492

Wii : Lack of storage (I have already moved countless Vc games back and forth from the SD card),online issues (would it really really be such a bad idea to have a universal friend code)

360: Really bad hardware fail ratio, too many immature people playing "Mature" games on live (you know the 12 year olds that call you racial slurs when you kill them)

PS3: Lack of depth across genres in the library, Sony's arrogance and buzzwords (10-year plan, "future proof", just remind me of the old days when Sega was saying the Genesis had "Blast Processing")

360... not so much paying for Xbox Live, but most DLC and Arcade games are overpriced IMO, oh and RROD of course.

Wii... lack of quality/hardcore games and good online multiplayer games.

PS3... overpriced Blu-Ray player and not enough AAA exclusives to warrant a purchase from me when I already have a 360.

You know I was always wondering why no one ever used the dollar sign for $ony, but then I realized they have no money so it would be pointless.

ps3- price, lack of rpgs, PS store lacks content

360- reliability, lack of third person adventure games, paying for online

Wii- software quality, focus on casual audience, lame online



PS3 - it doesnt like the hot weather. It struggles to breathe during this time

360 - it has 'reliability issues'

wii - Im bored of Nintendo just lumping out a slightly updated mario kart/smash brothers game and leaving it at that



I hope my 360 doesn't RRoD

Wii: Obviously the lack of memory (or should I say, the lack of ability to use an external HDD)... My Wii was fulled to the rim with save-data, channels and VC-games... And when my Wii broke, Nintendo deleted all my data and I wrote and called them to complain... But basically they told me to 'live with it'. So there I was, without all the stuff I had even Paid for sometimes. So: -Bring some sort of possibility to use external HDD's-

Oh, and bring more 'Core-games'. I think it's really not-cool to leave the people who stuck to you till near death when things go well once more!

X360: Start fixing the core of your problem with RRoD and the great number in % of consoles failing within the warranty-period. -Then I might actually buy one-

PS3: I think the PS3 is a rather complete system... Maybe eehrm; Make sure Valve starts developing their games for your console in-house again?!... Cuzz I really want Left 4 Dead on PS3! And not a crappy port done by EA ! Ty!
