Forums - Gaming - Is It Justifiable Comparing The Wii To PS360?

It is not justifiable because PS360 are getting thumped to heavily. It is a very unfair comparison. It is like comparing Brazil and Kenya in football.

^^Agreed. The gameplay experience of the Wii is far superior to the other two. Rubang is right. I never even thought about how the HD consoles can't even handle Wii Play.

We compare PSP and DS.

Why is the Wii not comparable to the PS360? Oh, cause then the 360 isn't doing that hot...

>_>

Yes but DS and PSP are vying for similar markets would you not agree.

As is PS360.

 

As are the WiiS360.

Pretending that they're trying to appeal to different markets is ignoring the fact that Microsoft pretty obviously (and desperately) wants a piece of Nintendo's pie.

I wasnt pretending anything really just making the point that out of the 3 the only one that is unable to play lots of games is the Wii.

Hence my question is it justifiable to compare the Wii to PS360.

 

"the only one that is unable to play lots of games"

Really? Ever considered how badly a PS360 port of Wii Sports would play? Or any other of the zillions of games that use the Wii's unique capabilities? 

 

 



Apples and Oranges.
Never mind the strength or weakness of one.
It's about appeal. Both are fruits.

It just so happens two are same fruit who are grown in different countries.

Just think about it.

It's true that the Wii is able to play more games but I still like my 360 and PS3.  Sure, they are lacking compared to the Wii bur they are all still in the same market.  The Wii part of the market is just a lot bigger.

Of course Wii is competing with PS3/360 just like DS is competing with PSP in the handheld market.
WII, PS3 and 360 are all videogameconsoles for homeuse.
They are all competing for custumers (believe it or not)
They are all competing for developers (you don´t think Sony and Microsoft would want Dragon Quest X and Monster Hunter 3 on their systems?)

They ARE competetors and they SHOULD be compared to each other.

Sorry about my rant here, I´m just so tired of hearing this argument. I´d guess that sony and microsoftfans would be happy comparing the three consoles saleswise if Wii lost the race.

Difference been if they were available PS360 would be capable of running them.

Now if gears or mgs4 to name 2 were made available Wii would not be able to run them.

 

I think you mean, the graphics would need to be made worse on the Wii versions and the controls would need to be made worse on the PS360 versions.  Surely you understand that games like CoD are done on the DS and MGS4 could have also been a PSP game.

In addition, it is obvious that HD consoles have better graphical capabilities than Wii. While Wii has motion/IR controls.

As Rubang pointed out, PS360 would not be able to handle Wii Play due to Motion / IR feature.
The same way in terms of graphics and environment on Wii.


What if HD consoles release a similar controller?
Well, the same argument could be said to Wii in the same principle that Nintendo can release an HD Wii, as they had originally intended to do so anyway.

Opinions are irrelevant in terms of your choice in gaming.
It's about appeal.



@op - Simply put, your next gen systems will be more like the Wii, so you might as well compare it, because Sony and MS are taking notes on how to cash in on success like the Wii.

Yes you are right. DS and PSP are also competing with the others as far as developers go. But they are portables and the point I was trying to make is that WII should be compared to PS3/360 since they are all consoles. I used the fact that WII has taken some pretty important titles (Dragon Quest, Monster Hunter) that traditionally would have gone to (most likely) Sony´s system that they are competetors. This shows two things in my opinion:

1. The three consoles are competing for developers and that WII is getting some traditional titles that used to be on Sony´s consoles and therefore Wii is going to be more than just a "casual console" (To me it´s not that even today but whatever....) 

2. More traditional "hardcorefans" are most likely gonna invest in Wii in the future, making the differences between the customers of the three consoles more alike.
