Amazing.
Still PS3 FTW.
Ohmygod, how old is that?
Anywho, I DO want a Wii more than a PS3.
Wow, Sony really have hit rock bottom this time. Nintendo are holy converters.
Don't count the chickens till they've all hatched. The DS looked great before release, hell so did the XBOX 360. Things change.
I miss the days of SNES. ;(
You say the DS "looked great", as if it actually isn't o.0Quote:

That video is sexyness at its best :) I think the ping pong one looks fun :P
Ok,
Its cool and all but a few things.
Number one the controllers.. Whats with the shape? Look like a TV remote.
Also its getting to physicial.. Like with all othe systems you use buttons and all.. I'm not trying to come off as lazy but come on!!! Its video gameing!! Its not ment to be so you have to move all around and everything. It will also be hard to get used to. In some games your going to have to be the exact right spot moving which will also be hard, it is easy to adjust what ever you are doing with a joy stick but it could be harder with this.
And what about people with confined space? They might not have room to move around in and all!!
Im sticking with the PS3:)
1. That's hardly an argument. The NES controller was the same, but horizontal. "/Quote:

If you have ever seen the E3 Sony Presentation, the guy that was demonstrating Warhawk could barely land the plane, proving just how inefficient the PS3's control is.
The promotional video for the Wii is exaggerated so that people who don't know about are able to see how the controller functions. If people just sat down and flicked their wrist for gaming in the promo, it wouldn't exactly seem eye-catching. There are no set rules for video gaming, so you can't possibly say it's not normal. The nunchuku attachment is a joystick, so again, your logic fails.
3. People wirth confined space isn't an issue either. First off, the Wii is now said to be smaller than 3 DVD cases stacked together, so space won't be an issue. Can we say the same about a PS3? Well, we could, but we'd be lying since its actually bigger than the original Xbox. Also, the Wii has a traditional controller attachment for those not wanting to use the Wiimote. So, in reality, there aren't any real issues, just lots of whining.
How have sony hit rock bottom?Quote:

I think that Nintendo are being very brave by keeping things to them selfs and not letting anyone know the price and other features just yet (YES, Theres more features to come!). And the games, woah! Have you seen the In-Game Trailer for Excite Truck? No? Well this is the most I've been excited about a racing game... EVER. Not to mention an all star line-up with Super Smash Bros. Brawl and The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess.Quote:

Geist is ONLY for Nintendo Gamecube. So there you have it, grown up games are also avaliable on the Gamecube. So theres no way on earth that the Gamecube is only for kids, so I bet that the Wii won't be either.
Oh and last, but not least... Downloadable games. Do any other consoles have that feature? No. Yet the Wii can download almost any game from the NES, SNES and N64. Now that will certainly get Retro Gamers attentions.
I rest my case. Feel free to reply, I always have much more info up my sleve. ;)
@Karl - The DS did look great, and it is great. It beat the PSP by loads.
Dude NO sony has not hit rock bottom.
There is only 4-5 games being releced for the WII so far, Yes new super smash bros is one of them but sony has about 10-15.. Also the PS3 has more features as the Wii. The Wii won't be able to use the internet in the same way as the PS3 will or anything like that.
Also sony has not put people off. And if they have tell me how?
And it is a good idea to put out the price as sony has done. That gives people an idea of how much they need to save and all. And company's can start taking pre-orders which will make them money now and later.
Also as sony said at E3 they are still devolping some fetures on the PS3.
So overall NO sony has not hit rock bottom.
Sony is also the leading company in electronics world wide. So NO according to sales *which are the highest of any electronics company in the world* they are far, far away from rock bottom.
Of course not, but their gaming division is about to.Quote:

The Wii won't be able to use the Internet like the PS3? How so? The Wii's online gameplay will be free or charge just like the PS3's and it will feature the Opera Browser, which the PS3 will not. Also, the Wii will stay connected to the Internet all the time for improved online play. Sony is letting developers manage how they want online gaming to be, so it wouldn't be surprising if some games require a fee.
Sure.Quote:

- Pricing
- Lackluster games
- False information
- Arrogance
- Gimmicks
- Did I mention pricing?
The PS3's launch title so far include about 6 exclusive PS3 titles. The rest can be found on the 360, which is $200 less.Quote:

Fixed.Quote:

You... You are kidding me, right? o_O I know 2 people in the whole of Oxford who have DS's and they hate them. Nintendo lost their touch after the SNES. Sure, the WII will be fun for a certain amount of time, SONY have consistancy. How do you think the PS1 is still about in some places? After the SNES I changed from Nintendo over to Playstation.Quote:

And as you already said that the Wii will have free online gameplay..
Yes, the PS3 will have a similar broswer to the PSP. And I never said Sony was going to charge for online. They will, however, let companies decide whether they want to charge for online or not. So in reality, it depends on the game if online play has a fee or not.Quote:

Playstation/Sony is currently top of the gaming industry and it has been for quite some while. I refuse to belive you can judge a unfinished console. Pricing issues...OK, Games consoles dont come cheap, The PS2 at 1st release was about £300...hardly pocket money is it? PS3 does have some amazing features, and there is no denying it...as do all of the consoles. The only bad feature I belive is the price, which I think will slow sales down at first release, but as the price lowers, PS3's will be sure to be flying off the shelves.
Neversoft, PSP has downloadable retro games (emulaters) aka homebrew, Unless you are talking about something completely different. PSP completely owns ds in many ways (im typing this on PSP right now.) On the other hand Nintendo wii will probably be as good as ps3, if not better. Look at ps3, does anyone agree with me that it looks like a toaster ? Lol.
The DS can do homebrew as well.Quote:

Oh, so thats why I got a DVD free with the Official Nintendo Magazine previewing 20+ games is it? PS3 has more features than the Wii? Sorry, but you don't even know half of the features for the Nintendo Wii, not to mention the ones that they still haven't announced, so you can't possibly say Sony has more. :rolleyes_ Who cares if the Wii doesn't use the internet the same way as the PS3? Theres not just one way that is good to use you know.Quote:

@Joord - Nintendo DS sold more than the Sony PSP. Fact.
@Anyone who says the DS is crap for media - http://uk.codejunkies.com/news_revie...=17&i=8952&s=8
@Karl again - Yes, but that is just Oxford. Worldwide the DS has outsold the PSP by millions (As already stated by some intelligent person ;)) Now that is good stats.
Yes I wasn't saying psp was the only console to do homebrew. But neversoft said that nintendo wii was only console with retro games. Its your opinion about thinking psp games are weak, people have different opinion on the types and ranges of games.Quote:

I think the PSP and the developments from that are for the more serious gamers.
But Nintendo developed neither Final Fantasy or Chrono Trigger in the first place... So how does that stem to a hatred for Nintendo?Quote:

You cant judge consoles that are not even released yet. Everyone says...O, Xbox 360 will be better then PS3...How do you know that? You havnt played on a PS3, so its a totaly biased statement.
stop being so biasedQuote:

But its unreleased, so you dont know what it will be like. Same as PS3, might be the worse console ever to be created, but its not been released yet, so we cant judge it.
Only thing we can judge is the 360...and in my opinion, its just Microsofts console version of a PC and they havnt used any new ideas, just ones they use on their computers.
Yes, companies will make products that reflect their previous lines of merchendise, but the reality of it all is that the 360 is being marketed as a gaming system while the PS3 is being marketed as a computer. O_oQuote:
