Sorry to drag this up again but I have to address the rather senseless replies I seemed to have gotten //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/rolleyes.gif.c1fef805e9d1464d377451cd5bc18bfb.gif
Wii has sold 4x the units as PS3, not 10x. Why? Easy. People are pennywise and pound foolish, it's that simple.
Uhh right I'm a [sony] fanboy right? That's why the only last-gen console I owned was a Nintendo GameCube? Right, good call there, assume some more why don't you? //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/rolleyes.gif.c1fef805e9d1464d377451cd5bc18bfb.gif
Right Sony and MS are using essentially the same controllers. Hmm okay they're using one item that is essentially the same. What's Nintendo using that's essentially the same? Everything but the controller. Still no HD, still using DPL-II, CPU is the same just a little faster, same thing for the GPU, a little more RAM (but nowhere near the RAM of the other consoles), and a new controller. Yay. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/rolleyes.gif.c1fef805e9d1464d377451cd5bc18bfb.gif
Ooooh Sony and MS used one thing the same whereas Nintendo used 10 things the same. The argument about using something the same doesn't hold up when you consider how back-dated the Wii really is.
Again, I'm not a fanboy at all. In fact I had really high hopes for the Revolution and those hopes continually went downhill as Nintendo continued to release more one disappointing detail after the next about what then became the Wii.
That's fine, again pennywise and poundfoolish IMO.
You have a point there yeah but c'mon no game system has every game you want for it right at release. Look at 360, Halo still isn't out and it's a year later. I don't see anything spectacular or interesting for Wii either.
But in the meantime, while neither Wii or PS3 have many good games guess what? The PS3 you can use it to watch Blu-Ray movies in high-def. The Wii? It's just a paperweight until more games come out.
Tired of what? Posts from someone who hoped for something good from Nintendo but was sadly let down big time? Also I didn't get a PS3, I didn't get any next-gen console. I don't even play that many videogames. I'm just saying Wii is a huge disappointment to me, considering I loved the GameCube. Also do everyone a favour and stop shouting--you're tired remember what's the point of shouting?
Actually it isn't. PS3 is hands down the best deal out of the 3 consoles at the moment. Again, people are just pennywise and pound foolish...
Add the price of the HD-DVD drive and Wi-Fi to the 360. See which one really costs more. Say you saw a Kicker ZX750.1 for $100 less than a Kicker ZX1000.1 but the latter comes with a Kicker 0 gauge kit, some speaker wire, and has free shipping... Perhaps you might say "why spend the additional money on the ZX1000.1 it's not worth it?" But hello you forgot to add the wiring kit, speaker wire and price of shipping to the first amp. After those things, which one is actually the better deal? C'mon now really.
Wii is a huge ripoff no doubt about it. It should be $80-$100 less for what you're actually getting. You're paying 3x the price of a GC for a slightly faster system with a little more ram and a controller. Nintendo is making tons of money on those systems. Good for them yes, but who's the sucker?
PS3 is a Blu-Ray player to start with. Do you know how much the cheapest stand-alone Blu-Ray player is? It's more expensive than the PS3. So before you even talk about the gaming system the PS3 is already worth it. Then add to that fact that the PS3 is a cutting edge gaming system with more power than any of the other consoles and you're telling me PS3 is not worth it? Gimme a break.
Who's really getting ripped off? It's like buying a Nissan Versa for $28,000 v. buying a BMW M6 for $65,000. The Versa is worth like half its price; the M6 is worth like double it's price. Which one is the better deal?
Sure the PS3 costs moreon the absolute scale but it's a heck of a lot more for your money.
All that aside I will say that the Wii does have a pretty cool control system, or so I heard from a lot of people. That's all fine and good and at least the Wii isn't a total writeoff. I'm sure Nintendo is happy with the sales numbers with all the people ready to get ripped off by them as well. It still doesn't change the fact that that Wii is NOT worth it. I'd much rather stick with my GC than buy a Wii; whereas with the PS3, though I'm not going to buy one anytime soon, at least I'm not going to feel ripped off if I did.
