A desperate thread created out of fear that his expensive and powerful console is going to be truncated by a far less powerful console.

I could almost hear the fast and shallowing breathing as he wrote it.

I'd break it down piece by piece but Fazz did so already and it would serve little purpose since there is absolutely nothing any of us could say that will ever change KBG's mind.




I'm just going to give him what he wants to hear. You know like throwing a dog a bone.


"You are correct KBG. We are all idiots for falling into Nintendo's ploy and for not following our instinct to buy into the 4D hype with giant enemy crabs, real time weapon change and Riiiiiiiidge Raaaacer."

 Everyone else is biased like EGM

 Biased towards reality, I agree.

I don't know, but I see the power difference between the PS3 and XBox 360 as being mostly pointless and only worth arguing if you're a fanboy ...

I could be wrong but I think Nintendo choose a reasonable piece of hardware with the Wii. If you look at the Gamecube's real-world performance (15 Million polygons with textures and lighting or  0.81 to 1.62 polygons per pixel at 480p) the graphical hardware improvements of the Wii should should put it close to hitting the limit of what can be displayed on 480p; certainly, you could add more pixel and vertex shader effects but they tend not to be that noticeable at 480p and would drastically increase development (and potentially hardware) costs. Basically, the Wii is well suited to fit the needs of the majority of people who do not own HDTVs yet.

I like true stories!

Now ... where is this true story you speak of?

This entire post says absolutely nothing about gameplay, innovation, game library, general appeal, or third-party support. Those are all important measures for a console's success, and the combination of these as well as technological capabilities and price have played an integral role in all of the consoles. I expect no different from this generation.

Of course, the PS3 has not lost yet but only a fanboy will be unable to admit that they will need a major turn-around in many of these other categories to come. There is very little growth when it comes to the differences between systems because as the PS3 becomes better, so will the Wii and 360. I am very tired of hearing that the Wii's technology will become MORE dated. How can it become more dated if no new technology is coming out? You're faith that the PS3 will make a comeback is justified, but the reasons that you have provided are way off base not mention that many of the "facts" are entirely wrong.

 The True story about all the consoles? Maybe the Truly false story.

I really feel bad for you KBG. You are so shrouded by fanboyism you think your console is better than everything else. You only managed to bring out the department where PS3 is best in, GFX, and GFX won't make or break this generation. I really do feel bad for you. You will only play games on the PS3 and will miss out on other great games coming out on the other consoles. I plan to have all the consoles this generation and enjoy gaming unlike you who only enjoys winning the war.
