u got a ps3 u dont need a 360

This guy brings up a good point. Sell your PS3 and get the 360. They are basically the same but you get to play Mass Effect, Halo, Gears of War, etc.

As for the DS, I own one and it has been rather disappointing. There are only a handful of games I can say I genuinely enjoy. Perhaps upcoming games will make me happier about owning one.


haha why would i sell a ps3 for a 360? ps3 has better exclusives and more features, i would be down grading

360 trolls are anoying me on here, im not getting a 360

wii or DS now

Well if it is between wii or ds it depends upon how much you travel, Wether you had a gamecube or a gba will also factor in. Also what types of games are you into?



if it is the ds get the dsi and otherwise just get the wii cause it rocks! also remeber about metroid other m, trilogy, nsmbwii, galaxy 2 and sin and punishment 2 and all other third party like monster hunter tri.

Given that you said you had more games for the Wii and 360 than DS, I think the answer obviously is the Wii now. I would say don't let 360 fanboys turn you off the system by themselves. There are more than a few very solid exclusives for the system. Of course the multiplatforms are cut short due to having a PS3 so I can see why a Wii might be more desirable from a gamer stand point. Give me a hint at what kind of games ya like and I will be glad to make some suggestions. My profile obviously shows that I game on Wii primarily, but I keep up on the non F/TPS exclusives of the 360.

You're just as trollish as those you criticize.

no matter what the reason was for you turning down the 360, it was a good one cause you have a ps3 and wii is getting some awesome exclusives from third party also most third party multiplatform will either be on all consoles or the hd twins but most good third party mainly for wii stay on wii and only wii....not all not 2 only wii....like murmasa or no more heros or red steel or obviously all the great ninty franchises...


get a wii

At this point I would say look at the libraries and what type of games you like.

Love RPG's? DS is for you, there are piles upon piles of them.

some great Wii games:

Mario Galaxy
Metroid Prime Trilogy
Twilight Princess
Smash Bros.
Okami / RE 4 if you didn't play those before.
World of Goo on Wiiware
Wii Sports Resort

Future great Wii games:

Metroid Other M
Galaxy 2
New Super Mario Bros. Wii

Great DS games:

Phantom Hourglass
New Super Mario Bros
Chinatown wars (unless you got a PSP)
Chrono trigger (unless you've played these)
Phoenix wright series
Professor Layton series
too many more to count

Upcoming great DS games:

Spirit Tracks
Golden Sun.

I'd say you can't go wrong with either one. going to be a very tough choice!



Between the Wii and DS, it comes down to this - how often to you travel where you're not the one driving/on a bike, skateboard, etc? If you don't do a lot of traveling, I question how often you'd pick up the DS at home when you already have a PSP at home.

I'd go with the Wii, just for the solid exclusives like the ones you mentioned. Plus, the Wii library is getting stronger and the quality of the games has been improving quite well.

If trolls are annoying enough to not get a console then there is nothing left to get because all sides have trolls. It really comes down to what you want to play. The Wii-mote doesn't seem to be a musthave for you, otherwise you wouldnt make this thread so it's all about the games. DS is ofcourse a compleetly different form of entertainment, I don't think you need that if you already have a PSP (unless you game 24/7). So just compair the 360 and the Wii, look at what games interest you. I could sum up all the games I like on the 360 but that wouldn't do much for you. Don;t forget to look at the games and add-ons that are still comming out for both consoles because it's obvious both console maers aren't going to drop support any time soon.

Now we could argue about those exclusive third party games on the Wii, because the 360 is getting lots of PC games which also have high quality.

Risen, Divinity 2, Mass Effect 2, Splinter Cell Conviction, Kingdom Under Fire 2 etc.

 

Not getting a certain HD console because you own the other one is a stupid reason. Simple.

Your opinion is biased, mine is and there is no sense in making such a thread.
