rasberrybeard Report post Posted July 14, 2005 -Nintendo Revolution is really going to save nintendo, as it will have the ability to download every single nintendo game ever made (including gamecube games), and no there will not be touch screen controllers, you can plug your DS into it for optional touch screen compatability. As well as wifi compatability, and wireless controllers. Nintendo has been iffy about release titles but you can at least be sure of a mario related title at launch. - X-box 360 once again has the most powerfull hardware, yes it is faster than the ps3 cell chip. As well as all games are high def, and a large hardrive (detachable at 20gigs). And X-box actually bought ought 70+ developers from sony (they have the money advantage) and have a solid first release title line-up (elder crolls 4, kameo, ghost recon 3, final fantasy 11 ultimate) and has built in wifi connectivity, and wireless controllers. - PS3 is using their special cell technology which allows for the most pixels per cm of any of the consoles, this comes at the expense of other hardware as ther is no hdd built in. PS3 also uses the new blu-ray discs which allow for 25gigs on s ingle layer disc, and 50 gigs on a dual layer. Also featuring direct connectivity with your psp, and boomerang shaped wirless controllers. Will play ps1 and ps2 games. -ALL of the consoles will play dvd's, mp3's, cd's, and have either built in or optional harddrives. All of them also have wifi connectivity. So out of all 3 of those, i choose the nintendo revolution, hands down, as the ability to download every nintendo game is amazing, as well as the fact that nintendo will be sure to release a lot of great first party titles. X-box 360 will be second, as they are sure to raise the standard of console gaming as we know it. However the ps3 in my opinion is much of the same old same old in a new pretty package. Sony has quantity but not quality in my opinion. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Arnieman Report post Posted July 15, 2005 None. I really can't see the purpose in a console system. Sure, Nintendo's downloading sounds cool, and Sony's always been good, as long as I've seen Playstations. Given, Microsoft has the big money power to build better than the rest, if it wants to. However, when it boils down to it, if I had to choose one of the three, I'd rather just build a good PC. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Plus Bill Gates decision to put Halo 3 against the PS3 will cause them to lose money. I say PS3 will pwn it, and if nintendos last stand, aka the Nintendo rev. is unsuccsesful they will most likely sell themselves to Sony as they have a better relationship with them Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ttlanhil Report post Posted July 15, 2005 I don't like console systems... and I'm kinda annoyed at them, because now game developers are forgetting about PCs... no, I don't want to get an emulator consoles are good for the social gaming I suppose, but if it's a single player game, that defeats the purpose anyway it's not like the consoles can do anything my computer cant (excluding the games only for console, etc), and my computer is available wherever I wanna go (though when mobile it's a lot less likely I have 'net access) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sistema Report post Posted July 15, 2005 (edited) Nintendo Revolution, what so ever....... I'd stick with Nintendo, even if Microsoft's or Sony's one is tons better You don't get to be the best console just by pumping graphics fuel, sorry PS3 You also don't get the best console place by releasing your console first, sry Xbox 360. You'd need something different, you'd need a revolution to gaming, Thank you Nintendo! Edited July 15, 2005 by sisteMa` Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lyr Report post Posted July 15, 2005 lol nice scarab. anyway.. xbox hasnt just put out great graphic games.. have you played morrowind? have you seen oblivion? have you plaed 16 player halo(2)? have you even played XBOX? lol. its about what it brings to you the player. morrowind created a whole new world to interact with, halo had a great story and was the single greatest fps ever! the sprts games have always been better on xbox. xbox delivers games that gamers want to play. nintendo had a bunch of gimmicks, and ps2 delivered the most games of all.. not all were good btw. how cant you play console games? they have more control and fluidity than pc. pc is click and type, but through different combinations of buttons you get more control and flow with a console game. try playing halo on pc after playing halo on xbox, youll see a HUGE differance. theres no way you could play super smash bros melee on pc. EL would be way better on console cause youll have more control of your character.. you will move them, not click and wait for them to move themselves. consoles own pc... all pc is good for is internet, computer graphics programs, and mmos Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
roren Report post Posted July 15, 2005 i think the ps3 will come out on top, because, in my case, there are more games to choose from, sequels or not. the way i see it, the way you lookat buying a ame system is this: nintendo: best gameplay, cheapest, lots of well known titles (zelda, metriod, mario, etc) Microsoft:best graphics, most expensive, HALO, 'nuff said Playstation: most games, average cost, a lots of well known titles (FF series, R&C, Jak series, etc) so whatever you support depends on your value in different fields. personally, i value number of games most. more games=better chance of finding something good. 180160[/snapback] i hate typing, so i'm just gonna put this up again. PS3 will RULE!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you know what you are doing, you have WAY more control. 2. If you can't configure the keyboard/mouse the way you want, and want to use a joystick/gamepad/etc., you can hook it up and configure it, so it'd be just the same as a console game. 3. Multiplayer FPS matches don't have to be played on one screen, limiting the ever-baneful, annoying, and downright "lame" habit of "screen-looking". Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Also, most games worth playing on Xbox are on PC, so no big loss for me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
