I was simply comparing ps3 to wii. Once everybody has a ps3 that wants one and everyone who wants a wii has one it would be better to look at the stats. ps3 vs wii vs 360 is the contest i'm curious about. hehe.

Of course it's about game play...don't get me wrong. I play counter-strike (1.6) until now with its dated graphics because it's fun = )


Seems like i'm the only PC gamer in this forum....anyone else a pc gamer?

I'm an old school PC gamer.... all my stuff was back in the day (Duke Nukem 3D, Doom etc.) I used to dial up over a modem to my buddies house and play Duke Nukem 3D one on one.... I got into Soldier of Fortune and Quake for a while but I've never been much of a home computer gamer...

Well, the amount of PS3 shipped is less than WII, so maybe thats the reason

who's fault was that? I am sure if Nintendo shipped 3x as many they would have still sold out...... Sony rushed yet another product to market and as usual, they did not have enough to even keep their promise of X units available....kept that crap up right to the last minute....


I thought PSP was supposed to be the end all of portable gaming? UMD movies a flop, a lot of remakes of PS2 games

PS3 is losing i believe 170ish dollars and i think thats on the 600$ system.

The difference between the two price points the 500$ one doesnt have WiFi, the multicard reader and the 60g hard drive

dont complain about the cost between the 400 dollar 360 and the 600 dollar ps3, simply because to have the hd dvd drive for the 360 costs you 200$ alone then the WiFi is another 100$ then you have youre happy 60 gig drive with a 200$ cost on it. So theres 500$ on top of that starting 400$ price tag, even with the 300$ one you still are paying 800$ and you dont have a wireless controller

With the PS3 you still have use of the CD and DVD as well as the Blu-Ray and you dont have to have a freaking external drive to use it.

Other then the fact that microsoft is a bunch of douchebags doing what they do by sucking up all the existing video game market is what will make the PS3 an unrealistic buy, not the system itself..... other then the fact that Sony has had some majorly stupid PR about the release.

For me, I am getting a Wii. I refuse to live without a nintendo system ^_^ Will I get a PS3, then its hit 3rd or 4th generation sure. Assuming there are enough games out for me to want to get, Will I get an Xbox 360? HEEEEEEEELL NO.... I have a soul after all, I havent even paid money for my OS, school gives it to me for free ^_-

It ultimately turns into opinion for all the systems *shrugs*

why wouldn't I complain about the price difference? I don't want a blue-ray high def DVD player so why should I pay for it?  Sure microsoft took the attitude of "if you want this buy it..." with their HD-Drives but I don't want it so why should I have to support it?  I'm not a huge fan of a lot of microsoft's stuff but I do believe they are very smart when it comes to business strategy (ruthless too....) and the 360 has wireless controllers....

I'm still in agreeance with you though that microsoft is sucking up the game market.... the PS3 and 360 are both out of my price range right now but I will buy a wii and a 360 when I get a chance (I'm a Halo addict so I've gotta buy the 360 to play it) the PS3 just doesn't have anything for me right now... just like you said it's not the system itself that is hurting as much as it is the lack of support from great games....  I hope someone drags up this post 12 months from now....  I want to see a comparison
