Forums - Gaming - For CURRENT Wii-360-PS3 owners only ...

Which console do you play the most? What are your thoughts on the consoles?

For me, the last console I bought was a PS3 in early 2008 to review games. I bought a Wii in May of 2007 and bought a 360 in April 2006.

I think the 360 is a good console - has a great game library and I use the software BC for titles like 'Counter Strike,' 'Crimson Skies,' 'Halo and Halo 2,' 'Fable' and other games. I had 2 RRODs in the past and both times MS repaired it. I have a 120gb HD on it and love the option of installing games or not. For the bigger, open sandbox games, I install them.

The PS3 is getting more attention lately. I play Blus more often, and I am trying more PS3 platformers - such as LBP and retrying MGS again. I like Motor Storm, F-1 Championship and think Home has mad potential. I like the Blu Ray player too. However, I am not a fan of the mandatory installs, and the lack of rumble sucks. I want to get a new Dualshock but not hyped about paying $50 plus for another controller, though I need one. The best thing about the PS3? The browser, the free online and the full BC, as well as the ability to use my Logi G-25 steering wheel.

The Wii is arguably the most neglected console in the household. I've had it for nearly 2 years and can tell you gamewise, I have a healthy collection of games. However, I will normally boot it up to show friends we have over. I have little desire to play games on it much more. I will admit - it's here but really no one plays it anymore.

Would I rebuy any of the consoles again? I would buy the PS3 and the 360 - but the Wii, I'm not sure. I would sell it, but I have way too many games and wouldn't get the return I'd want for it.

Ok, your turn.

PS3 is my most played
360 second most played
Wii played by little cousins when they come to my house other then that barly gets played.



most played, first one that I would "buy again": PS3
second: Wii
third: 360

To be honest, my 360's playtime only suffers because I buy most of my HD games for the PS3 these days. I'm not dissing the 360 by playing it less than my Wii... it just happened -- if the 360 and Wii were the only two consoles, I would definately buy the 360 over the Wii. ...and when my Wii's VC RPG lineup runs dry... the 360 will be back at #2.

I'd probably sell my Wii if my kids ever get tired of fiddling with their Miis, and playing Dokapon Kingdom or MK:Wii. ...of course, then I'd need to buy it again, if it becomes the JRPG destination I think it will.



Wii 1st
360 2nd

I tend to play for short periods and Wii suits me much better for that.

Edit: Sorry, just realized you wanted tri-console owners (how many own all three?)  If I did have a PS3 it'd get played the least since I only play 360 for WRPGs of which PS3 has none (exclusively) if it had backwards compatiblity it might get used for GTA:SA and Burnout (don't care for the HD versions of those games)



 

I don't really fall into your category question as I own just the PS3 and Wii. I love both systems. The Wii for Mario, Zelda, Tos2, Mario Kart, Zack and Wiki and multiple downloaded games. I love the PS3 for Uncharted Drake, Ratchet and Clank, Little Big Planet and multiple PSN games. I probably favor the PS3 for the Blu-ray and backwards compatible games. But the games I have played on the Wii have not disappointment at all. I will probably buy a 360 at some point as I would love to try out both TOV and Fable 2. I would buy either system again and I really can't comment yet on the 360.

Wii first
PS3 distant second.



360 first
PC second
Wii third
DS fourth
PSP fifth
PS3 sixth

but that doesn't mean anything. Quality over quantity.



I don't need your console war.
It feeds the rich while it buries the poor.
You're power hungry, spinnin' stories, and bein' graphics whores.
I don't need your console war.

NO NO, NO NO NO.

DS first
PC/PSP second
Wii Third
360/PS3 get about the same amount of playtime. PS3 I think has a little bit of an edge.



Of the three?

Depends.

PS3 (If you count PS1 and PS2 games)
Wii
360
PS3 (If you don't count PS1 or PS2.)

PS3 - Valkria Chronicles was good... other then that... not much out there I want to own... Disgaea 3 is tempting but i mean... I've yet to beat like 3 or 4 PS2 NIS games.... so why get another. LBP was a HUGE letdown so far. Infamous looks ok. A lot of the othergames i want for it are on 360 or PC... or both.

360 - Kinda loud. Honestly it strikes me how loud the system runs. Outside that. Pretty good so far Tales of Vespera is a lot of fun, can't wait to try Spectral Forces, Last Remnant and so forth. Considering getting COD5 probably will if my friend gets it otherwise i'm not sure. L4D would be for sure if i didn't have it on PS3.  Once again games like Borderlands i'd rather have on PC.  Might get Prototype for this though, do to a friend, co-op and the game being a controller type game.

Wii - Fun. That's about it. There are very few games on it i've played i haven't liked, it's almost always a different, and there is a focus on gameplay and fun since the wii doesn't have the power to turn up the graphics.

I'd rebuy them all because well I like videogames... though I probably would of got the 360 first and wait to rebuy the PS3 till it was cheaper.



360 was the the most recent console I bought. Purchased it from Amazon when they were getting rid of the old 20GB models. I originally bought it because of the Netflix announcement and knowledge that it had a great library. I did not play a lot of it until fall, running through a bunch of old games I bought used and XBLive games. After I replaced my gaming TV with an HDTV I bough a ton of games this holiday season but have only really played a lot of Left 4 Dead the others have been played a lot less. Overall I think it is a very good console and currently gets most of my play time.

Wii, first console I bought this gen. The first year and a half I played it a lot. It started to drop off over the summer and the last game I bought for it was de Blob. I have really enjoyed a few games on it, RE4 Wii and SMG really made 2007 for me. I have a strange relationship with the Wii I love it but find it pisses me off that so little is done as well as it should be by Wii developers.
