Nintendo revolution, ps3, or xbox360?

[zodiak]

Okay, so 3 new systems are going to be born into the world. The nintendo revolution, ps3, and the xbox360. As everyone know these systems will be expensive. Wich one will you buy first?:eek:


(Nintendo Revolution has a weird controller. whats with that;).)

[Zeke Arcadia]

I will support my "homies" of Nintendo. Then Ps3. Xbox not my type.

[katrina_survivor]

Instead of buying any of these, I'm gonna buy as much listarine as I can and get trashed.

I can't afford any of them. And even if I could, I'd spend the money on an Ipod nano.

[zodiak]

hu...;):eek: so you would want to get wasted on listerine, good god man do you have any desency. I mean really.

[Storm Strife]

And even if I could, I'd spend the money on an Ipod nano. Do yourself a favor....don't.

Back on topic, I'm going to try and get all 3 consoles. Granted it would take a few years, but it allows me to see games from each system's point of view. But I'm not sure which I would buy first....most likely the one that costs the less money later on (I'll be buying when prices go down). But I might see if I can get the Revolution first (despite the fact it's controller looks like a certain sex toy :D)

[Darth Tyranus]

The revolution because the games will be something NEW, i can't tell you how tired i am of half assed sequels.

[Zedekiah]

Don't be narrow minded. Get 'em all.

[Loljoke]

Xbox 360

[-_-Tan-_-]

Xbox360

[picano]

I'll be getting the Revolution for sure, gonna try winning an XBox 360 or atleast buy it once the price drops.

[william_birkins]

I don't know if I still want to get the Revolution with all the cool features but I stuck with Playstation ever since it came out but if it were between the two, it would probably be the Revolution.

[Darth Tyranus]

Don't be narrow minded. Get 'em all.It isn't being narrow minded if the others don't have games you want to play.

[Loljoke]

It isn't being narrow minded if the others don't have games you want to play.
Your looking forward to any future Star Wars game on the Revolution, right?
Swordfights with the remote controller, whooho!

Anyways, I'm not getting it.

[Gate_Guardian]

Wow, people cant pick a system thats so sad.

[!.Ski Takeshi.!]

Nintendo Revolution is not finish yet turns out those pictures are not the finished project.

[Loljoke]

Nintendo Revolution is not finish yet turns out those pictures are not the finished project.
The rumours says that it will get even smaller than it is on the current pictures.

[saskie]

PS3 for life

[Loljoke]

PS3 for life
And still, the public knows almost nothing about it.
I find it amusing.

[Grim Scythe]

im going to wait a few months after the new systems come out(most of the recent systems had some kind of bug in them that was worked out in a few months) to truly pass judgement
but if i was going to choose it be the 360

[Darth Tyranus]

Don't be narrow minded. Get 'em all. If this gen turns out like the last 3 I will, just when I buy them remains the question.

[philmaster628]

i would buy the ps3 then xbox 360....i wouldn't even get the revolution

[Darth Tyranus]

Your looking forward to any future Star Wars game on the Revolution, right?
Swordfights with the remote controller, whooho!

Anyways, I'm not getting it. That isn't the only reason I want one, but me being the huge star wars fan I am I can't help but love this idea. Anyway as of right now the system clearly isn't for evryone, but maybe that will change with time.

[Hanzo]

Ps3

[Loljoke]

That isn't the only reason I want one, but me being the huge star wars fan I am I can't help but love this idea. Anyway as of right now the system clearly isn't for evryone, but maybe that will change with time.
Maybe.
I've never been a huge fan of Nintendo, but they have some really great stuff on the market.

We'll have to wait and see.

[gotenks x3]

i am going to get ps3 the xbox360 has bug that there trying to fix and until they get that fixed i am stickin with ps3

[Loljoke]

i am going to get ps3 the xbox360 has bug that there trying to fix and until they get that fixed i am stickin with ps3
Like the majority of gamers, I do not have any problems at all with my Xbox 360.

[Grim Scythe]

i am going to get ps3 the xbox360 has bug that there trying to fix and until they get that fixed i am stickin with ps3
-yes iv heard rumors about 360s having bugs
-i said it was going to have some just like the xbox and ps2 ac cables bein recalled due to fire hazards
-and the ps3 isnt out yet, none of us now if it will or will not have its own problems

[Bluefox-chan]

hmm i dont know they havent come out yet(p23 or revolution) i will probably wait and see which has the best games!

[Loljoke]

Several Devs. has already admitted that the PS3 has had several problems.
Doesn't anyone remember that the dev. kits melted?

[Buruku]

Revolution for sure, i cant wait to see what Nintendo does next, as far as games go.
i'm not sure what my second choice would be....

[sasuke-fan-1]

I would buy PS3 first because it seems to be taking longer to make. So that must mean a lot of improvement is being done. Which mean it will be better than the 360. Then I will buy the Revolution because Nintendo may have less sales than Sony and Xbox but they have lots of unique games that you won't see on the other systems. Like Animal Crossing was one and the Mario sport games.

[Nickl]

Revolution well I like the fact that you will be able to play old games like earthbound and Crono Trigger. Awsome games I might add.

[Starkwynd]

I've heard rumors lately that sony may completely scrap the current PS3 design because they haven't been able to fix those problems.

[Darth Tyranus]

Wouldn't surprise me, I have heard nothing but massive problems coming from sony of late dealign with the ps3.

[Loljoke]

Indeed, Sony has had alot of trouble with the PS3, I'm sure they'll come up with something to deal with it though, but it will definitly delay the console.

And some people can't think logically.

[Sephy]

I don't really have a preference. They all have their positives and negatives. Plus, one of my roommates is the Nintendo freak, so we will have the next Nintendo here. Another roommate is the Microsoft freak, so we will have a 360 here, and I am in love with Sony, so I will be buying the PS3. We already have a PS2, Gamecube, and XBOX hooked up in the living room. So I'm not worried about it.

It is a wonder though that we are all alive. We have had some great arguments in the past ^^

You're lucky :p

[Black Outlaw]

ps3... then a revolution.. i hate Xbox so never that

[RichardE40k]

Personally I am on the PS3’s side, as I am a first person gamer who likes the best graphics. Not to say the others don’t have outstanding capabilities but I grew p with play station.



The Pros.


More FPS games planned for the PS3 than the 360 or revolution
Is the most powerful of all three consoles, I do not wish to go into all the tech specs so I will keep it brief.
Still has companies only devoted to it, like the makers of kill zone
So Sony still has games that will not be available to any other console just like the revolution unless Nintendo decide to open the gates, seeing as the game cube was the lowest selling of the consoles and there have been rumours. However 360 no longer has any one system companies, so even halo 3 could appear on the ps3 with a lot of money from Sony
Still has the same build controller that everyone is used to except for a few minor details, just like the Xbox 360.
Has the biggest selection of games thanks to its long life with backwards compatibility and popularity
Most probably will have some sort of connectivity with the PSP just like the Nintendo advance had with the game cube
Now is planned to have an online system like the 360, could creat3e competition with lower prices or even free use
Backwards compatibility does not require an expensive hard drive to be backward compatible, plus the Xbox 360 has proved to even lag with some of its old games. (This has been tested by me trying to play Half Life 2 on a 360 system)
Blue Ray disks, holding 6 times more than the DVD Xbox disks.


The Cons


Has not been released first so will not have the advantage of first selling opportunities
Has been cancelled many times due to faults and errors with the system, it could end up less powerful or even slower than the 360 due to changes with the console
Has had many criticisms for looking similar to its brother the ps2.
Has the unfortunate situation of when released, halo 3 being released, so tough competition is rising.
Has so much power unlike the other that it may never be used by games companies until much later on, this could cause problems for its old and new games


If anything appears to be wrong just PM me and I will look into it, Thank you.

[colonelsp]

xbox360 for me

[Darth Tyranus]

So Sony still has games that will not be available to any other console just like the revolution unless Nintendo decide to open the gates, seeing as the game cube was the lowest selling of the consoles and there have been rumours. However 360 no longer has any one system companies, so even halo 3 could appear on the ps3 with a lot of money from Sony
This is ALL basless conjecture, as is most of your idiotic post. If you like sony fine, but don't go saying things as stupid as halo 3 or nintendo games could appear on the ps3. No way in hell could this happen, no matter how mcuh sony offered. Plus they would NEVER make the money back, kind of like ms hasn't gotten the money back for buying rare yet. I doubt they ever will too.

Plus despite being in third place (in america) the cube has MADE A PROFIT, so it would be beyond foolish for nintendo to make games for nayone else. What I'm saying is shut up unless you have actual facts, which of course you don't.

[Scion]

I really don't know what I am going to get. Right now I have my eye on the Revolution and the 360. The Ps3 might actually finish (by 07 if they keep this up). Oddly Sony has been having troubles like that incident with that other company and now this. Seriously, Sony has to pull it together or they will die on the market. As for the Revolution and 360, its all about the sales and how quick the prices drop for me.

[anime_being_god]

ok ive only played x box 360 and i think its going to get blowed away by the ps3

[Loljoke]

RichardE40k:

Most of what you told us are either speculations or completely wrong, I won't bother to correct all of it, cause the list is pretty long.
Just to mention a couple of things, the PS3 will NOT have a online system like Xbox Live, but one similiar to the PS2 instead.
And ofcourse Microsoft still owns developers, go check it out! As an example, Microsoft would never give away bungie, no matter price tag.

Why I didn't send a PM? Go figure.

[RichardE40k]

Well I said to PM me if you had problems with the post I made, I really have no time for rudeness, a simple PM could have cleared things up. The main reason I made it is because I have one family member in the Microsoft company and the other in Sony, I get my facts from my family, I will look into them again as I said I would but just to reinstate, no need for rudeness or sarcasm in future as I have no time for arguements over forums.

Richard

[currupted_ soul]

-thinks- I would say X-Box360.

Richard Facts? What facts, most of your post were things that made no sense or were just rumors. I don't care if you have a family memeber who works for the company, saying nintendo games might come to the ps3 is just plain stupid case closed.

[RichardE40k]

Well we will just have to see then

[Darth Tyranus]

See what? There is NO WAY nintendo games or halo 3 will ever be on the ps3. There is no waiting and seeing, those thing just wont happen.

[iernt8]

i would say that the PS3 will be the best out of them all

[Loljoke]

Sorry Richard, I didn't mean to act rude.

Anyways, as Darth says, there's no way that for an instance Halo 3 will come out to the PS3 (If it comes out at all, still no announcment). Microsoft owns Bungie.

You're not the only one that has relatives in Microsoft you know, Microsoft is huge.
Even I have a cousin that works there.

You can ask your relative what Peter Moore announced at CES in Las Vegas yesterday, for the Xbox 360.
I know, because I'm involved with the industry and the community, but I'm pretty sure that if you ask your relative today, he wouldn't know.
Note: Today.

[-Batman-]

I know, because I'm involved with the industry and the community
Which is why you're opinion is biased.

We can't even decide this yet because out of the 3 systems the only one out at the moment is the 360. The PS3 may be having production problems, but it's not like the 360 didn't. As for the Revolution, Nintendo always pulls through for it's fans. Than again, we have yet to see the revolution either, so we can't judge on that.

This thread is completely pointless because we only have one of the three said systems.

[krncrazykid]

Nintendo !

[krncrazykid]

how do u change the way you look for your rpg character?

That statement came after I asked him if he could check if his relative knew what Peter Moore and Bill Gates announced at CES, I didn't say I knew which one of the consoles was better.

If you read my post better, you would have easily seen what I was saying.

[Apostolos]

the revolution...

[Darth Tyranus]

Involved with the industry? You have a cousin who works there and apparently he knows very little about it. How is that being involved witht the industry?

[Ayame_102]

i prefer the xbox cuz to me the ps3 is like the ps2...

[Loljoke]

I thought you knew I'm an independant game developer for the PC.
It has nothing to do with my cousin.

[NARUTO_AND_SAKURA]

i would say Xbox 360 but its not doing good like burning out or somethingy its really fun tho and mine is working fine so xbox!

[RichardE40k]

Burning out? It sounds like overheating, just like some of the Xbox’s did when first made. I would check you're system. But I doubt it is anything too serious, if it continues or gets very got, contact Microsoft, do not go through the company who sold it to you unless Microsoft advise it, as they will try to detour you without helping, just some advise.

[Light Guardian]

only PS3...

[Xiahou_Dun]

I'm going with the Revolution. It's going to have teh best of all the graphic and the best line-up of game's. I'm looking forward to Super Smashbrothers 3.

[!.Ski Takeshi.!]

Look, N64 to GC
had to be the biggest jump in system history.
that was a Revolution in gaming,
PS1 then PS2 same
Xbox then Xbox360 same
GC then Revolution,, stepping outside the box is what makes a good system
the games for this will be awesome, one of a kind, then I bet you PS lovers and Xbox
worshipers will see.

[NinjaSniper]

I would get a PS3 beacuse the xbox 360 dosn't have any games that are very interesting. I would get the 360 only for Halo 3. But if I had to chose from the three I would get a PS3.

[RichardE40k]

The problem I have always had with Nintendo is it’s child like cartoon games. I mean admittedly Xbox and PS have these as well like PS’s heroes, like crash bandicoot and spyro, but personally id rather play them than Mario, or Zelda. Which I have just never liked, I will admit they have had some good games like gun but that’s not enough, I enjoyed their games when I was 6. It just does not give me my range of games which I like anymore as an adult.

[itachi_64]

idd get ps3

[[Deathscythe]]

Well considering neither the PS3 or Revolution are out yet, it can't be said which is the 'best' exactly. Anything I say that you may or may not agree with is just my opinion, do NOT argue what I say (the reason I'm saying this is because I've had enough idiotic people try to argue with me on this same topic, though not in this forum I justwant to make sure it stays that way).

X-Box 360 -- My opinion -- This console is overrated, sure it has excellent specs and it looks better than its predeccessor (though still it's huge and ugly). I don't know why Microsoft released it when they did, they must have known about the rubbish cooling system and couldn't be bothered to fix it.

PS3 -- My opinion -- Very nice, it has great specs and even though it's pretty big it can pull of the look (unlike the 360). Sony had came across the same problem as Microsoft with the overheating and the damn melting of a console you'd pay muchly for (it's to do with all the powerful hardware it uses by the way, for those who don't know at least), the difference between Sony and Microsoft is that Sony weren't lazy like those Microsoft bums and actually fixed the problem.

Revolution -- My opinion -- My favourite, being a fan of Nintendo I suppose my answer is sorta biased but then again it isn't. Nintendo aren't trying to compete with Sony or Microsoft, therefore, the Revolution will NOT be extremely powerful, it may not have the greatest graphics and it may not be HD though that is what Nintendo want as it is what I want. I've always preferred the older consoles to these new machines with super duper "realistic" or so said graphics. The Revolution I feel will be more like the older consoles (ones that truly were revolutionary), this is why I believe the Revolution to be best in my opinion.

[Showgan Jin]

Ps3, cause of the final fantasy series.

[Khanxay]

Thats basically what i wanted to say. Two of these systems arent even out yet. So we really decide which is best. And for the x-box 360, it was just released and hasnt show what potential it has. Just a release lineup. Thats all it has right now. So we really cant decide anything till they are all out. "they" being each system and several games that came out after the system the system has been released.

[Darth Tyranus]

[RichardE40k]

Axeit could still develop pc games at his age.

[-Batman-]

Aexit, if you create games than you should have a website or a place to download them. So...Link us.

[Darth Tyranus]

Axeit could still develop pc games at his age. I would imagine the extent of a 14 year old home brewer would be hacks and mods for the most part. I'm not being rude just stating what most homedevelopers do. And even those are hard to do and take a long time.

[Starkwynd]

My 360 has yet to melt.... I haven't even gotten the overheating warning light yet. I do have a scratched PGR3 disc cause my mom wanted to move my system while it was playing, but other than that it's functioned perfectly. Very happy with it.

Also, not arguing, just identifying that Sony hasn't fixed the overheating problem yet.

Unfortunatly Nintendo aren't giving out the specs to their new console, however, there are a few known facts such as IBM will be creating the CPU "broadway" and a few others I can't list I gotta go xD

<is in college and has to do a test>

(note: The reason for this post is just to let you know the stats of the consoles, sorry if it doesn't belong here)

[RichardE40k]

True, I was just commenting because I and friends made block games in college, nothing fancy. Personally I never looked at mods or hacks so I would not know how difficult they are, I just don't use them.

The one spec Nintendo have released is that the console will contain the Hollywood ATI graphics card. The 360 contains a higher ATI card and PS3 contains NVIDIA’s secret weapon.

[Loljoke]

Come now you're 14, you're a home brewer lets not trump this into something it isn't.Haha, I've been programming since I was eight years old.
The team's called WindScythe Studios, and we currently haven't got a website, still working on getting someone with broad skills in PHP and HTML to fix the design for us. But what I can give you a link to, is my profile at garagegames, which also says I'm an owner of the Torque SDK.
http://www.garagegames.com/my/home/view.profile.php?qid=58716

Now please do not underestimate me because of my age, it has nothing to do with the fact that I make games.

Now, shall we get back on topic?

[Darth Tyranus]

You have been programming since you were 8 and you dont have anything to show for it?
No games at all? Come on face it it's a hobby, that doesn't make you apart of the industry. The guys who make the mods and hacks or even home brews for the stari systems aren't in the industry, they are programmers but not apart of the larger industy. Which was my point all along.

[RichardE40k]

Back on topic. I've just had very nice news of finding out doom 3 will be on the PS3, just as will Quake 4, STALKER and many other pc title FPS games.

[Darth Tyranus]

That's great ports of PC games that were just ok the first time around, can't wait!

[RichardE40k]

If you don't like them fine, however I do. No need to be sarcastic.

And yeah, I have school and work in addition to this, work for earning money to be able to pay the guys helping me out with the project and school to get good grades for my college degree.
Besides, as long as I make games and are a part of a larger team, that makes me involved with the industry. It basicly means, I'm in the industry.

Now, this ain't a matter of discussion, it's a matter of personal buisness, and I don't need your comments on it, Darth.

And on an unrelated subject, it would be much easier for me to take you seriously if you didn't have such an emorific avatar. Not to mention your a freshmen, you really don't need to be worrying about college yet.

Back on topic. I've just had very nice news of finding out doom 3 will be on the PS3, just as will Quake 4, STALKER and many other pc title FPS games.
That's some interesting news.

[RichardE40k]

Yea I mean I once thought ID software had become devoted to Microsoft but it was only because they have the hard ware to deal with the games but as the PS3 will be able to play the games on full like the pc can, they will be focusing on both companies, this means we should see Return to castle wolfenstein which is still in development coming to the consoles as well as PC. And THQ's STALKER is interesting, I mean it will be more than amazing when released combing the graphics of fear with the AI. But using the size of something bigger than the game state San Andréa’s, 16 square miles I believe, to the same size of the Chernobyl “zone” site. But it's been put back so much, September 06 now damn it.

And what do you know about Norways school system anyway, it's quite different than in many other countries, which also means that I'm not a freshman.

On topic:
It's cool that those games are coming to the PS3, but it's games that I have completed long ago, so it doesn't make me want the PS3 any more than I did before.

[nega_knives]

ps3 rules over all, nothing can stop the ps3 from powning everything. my point I guess is the ps3 rules over all.

[RichardE40k]

True but its just me Axeit, I mean I have re-played doom 3, 4 - 5 times and I'm playing it again. As long as it's a very good FPS, I can keep it going man ytimes. To each his own lol.

Have you tried Quake 4 yet? That was a dissapointment, it was good. But not great.

Oh and, Darth:


If you're the type who always has something to say to everything, do us all a favor, suck it up, and KEEP IT TO YOURSELF. This is getting ridiculous.

[kenji_son_of_kenshin]

i think the first one im ganna buy will be the Nintendo revolution....in the future i may buy the others as the price goes down as i did with ps2 and xbox but first off im ganna get revolution

Live on Nintendo!!!

[Darth Tyranus]

Do you think I have it any easier taking you seriously with your avatar? Don't see why not, phoenix wright is an awesome game.

what do you know about Norways school system anyway, it's quite different than in many other countries, which also means that I'm not a freshman. I don't know mutch about norwars school systems (I didn't even catch that you were from there until about a minute ago). Still I would think norway or not 14 years old seems a bit young to be worried about college.

Oh and, Darth:

If you don't want to hear from me get me banned, I honestly wouldn't care since I have been thinking about leaving this site for some time now. The only reason I come at all is to argue, I go to other much better sites to have good conversations.

When I want good conversations I usually go meet my friends, it's a bit more social than ASCII ;)
And besides, I can't get you banned without getting myself a big red warning, so I wouldn't bother.
Honestly, I've been thinking of leaving this forum for good myself, but I don't think I will just yet.

So suit yourself, I'm sure a couple of people would be glad if you stayed.

[RichardE40k]

Axeit I have played Quake 4. It was very good, but not really the gripping adventure I received of Doom 3. It was just so damn easy. I guess that's what you get with quake, it's always been big guns, lot's of ammo and easy targets. And of course seeing as it uses Doom 3's engine, the Ai was non existent. But still very fun all the same.

PS: College was one of the best years of my life, however I prefer where I am at university lol.

Like when you fire guns in Halo, you have that 'Ah, soo good' feeling. You just don't get that with Quake 4, actually you don't get that feeling with most of the FPS' out there, just some of them.

Edit:
Heh, I've got my university degree all laid out already :p

[RichardE40k]

Well it's like FEAR. I know I go on about it a lot but it was one of the only ones of 2005 which actually shouted uniqueness and gave many, not just me, that revitalisation for FPS games. That’s why Half Life 2 and Far Cry did so well, not to say games Like Doom 3 were ignored, but not as original.

[Darth Tyranus]

Why would that get you a warning anyway? I don't know I have never tried to get a member here banned. And I'm sure a few folks would miss me but you have the vast majority who would be glad my to be rid of my eva, final fantasy, naruto hating ways.

[iheartanime]

darth just leave if your thinking about it! dont give everyone's hopes up! but really this must be the only place where you find human interaction, since your personality is so..... (whats the word i'm looking for?) a$$-holying. i had to make a word up to describe your unpleasant personality.

you think you know everything when you really dont. and you constantly call yourself a "true gamer" but heavily favor the nintendo. and you quote too much!

and please dont say people want you to stay, those people are probably your alternate accounts you have for yourself (so no one will suspect how much you really post here, which is already a insane amount)

so let me be the first to say good bye and dont let the door hit your a$$ on the way out!

so let me be the first to say good bye and dont let the door hit your a$$ on the way out! Boo hoo, I'm cying in my cereal someone doesn't like me! Most of what you said is wrong, just dumb assumptions anyway. Let me just explain the thing with ninteno to get it out of the way now, I favor them now. But before this gen I got everything sega. In the future who I like could every will change, and folks act as if I'm the only one who likes one system over the other. Whatever, I don't have to explain myself to you.

I like Darth, so does Masali (even if he had negitive feeling's twords us...this is the internet people). Are WE alternate accounts? No.

On topic...

I STILL say undecided, because 2 of the consoles aren't even out yet.

[Darth Tyranus]

The big problem here is people take me to seriously, I'm just an irritable sort. Oh and darktwilight likes me so we have three people now.;) And You all know I'm fans of you all as well. This board only has a handful of smart members so it isn't hard to pick them out.

[Mushrambo]

PS3 for me. Even though it isn't out yet the Playstation series is by far the one I trust most. To me the other systems r kinda all about the graphics and not the storyline on the games which make them kinda boring and dull after awhile. The PS games have awesome storylines to me^_^

[Darth Tyranus]

What!? That doesn't make any sense at all just because its on the playstation doesn't mean it will have a good story and sony pushed the emotion graphics engine hard as hell when the ps2 came out. But I guess expecting folks on this forum to be coherent or know anything is a pipe dream.

[RichardE40k]

Well to be fair Darth PS2 was not as advanced as the Xbox but I can see where Mushrambo is coming from, it did have a lot more story indulgent game than the Xbox, or it seems that way, however now it will be overflowing for graphics with the ps3 with most if not all its games planned to be very high end quality.

[Loljoke]

EDIT:
Ignore this post.

[enigma unit 01]

Why do people argue about these kind of things? Have you played the PS3 or the Revolution? If you have, then feel free to say which is better, but until then, this is pointless as we dont actually know which is better. Only fanboys would argue about something like this.

[Sailor Julie]

Revolution. Nintendo and I go way back.
