PS3 Fanboys May Cry

[GommeInc]

blu-ray isnt just for games tho.. its for high definition films
not that many ppl have HDTVs so it aint that useful right now

Blu-ray is great for TVs That's about it though...

@BearMax. Yes, but this is the PS3, the new PS2. Playing a playsation, you find the games are boring and repetitive. I would rather have a game that is fun and unordinary, than a game this high in graphics, but low in fun and reptitive.

If there are letters missing in what I say, I apologize. One cut the top of my left index finger off and I can't really type with it

Ouch.

But... just because the Wii lets you whizz your arms around to control the game, it doesn't automatically make it fun. There has been an awful lot of rubbish released on the platform, and (in my opinion) far too many mini-game compendiums. It really works for the DS, because it makes it pick-up and play, but with such an under-powered and casual console I can't, in the long run, see it being utilised by developers as it should. By the time we get to Mario Party #37, it might just push you over the edge into mini-game insanity.

The Wii really needs more horsepower if it's going to be more critically successful, but if the consumers like it there's no real incentive to change. First party games are likely to be solid, but the third party titles seem far too gimmicky. Sony's getting there with the PS3, but the Sixaxis is just far too imprecise and insubstantial (not to mention the fact that you have to lay down a hell of a lot to own the darned machine).

I might develop a fear of doing stuff with knives in art now

I was talking in general about the games as opposed to the way you manipulate them. The Wii-mote does open a more interactive gate which I guess could make it fun, but I find it interesting as opposed to fun. I don't really understand Mario Party, not my cup of tea to be honest, but mii-games do make playing with friends a bit interesting. You can't play a huge game with a few friends and added characters. Friends don't tend to stay round long enough to play a whole game. But I do agree that Nintendo does like it's mini-games a bit to much.

I like wiis third partly games like red steel and ssx blur.

I think the bottom line of this particular debate is:

Just because a game has decent graphics or is on PS3/XBOX doesn't make it "un-fun"
&
Not every Wii game is fun, and a few have quality graphics
&
Blu-ray is still useless (I mean in relation to games, it offers little)

Blu-ray with gaming is still in the early stages, graphics are bound to get better.

The only downfall I see and the most obvious is price. I think you need a HDTv to get the full experience from the console. I myself don't have a HDTv, and can't see me spending over a grand on a new tv and console.

People haven't given the PS3 a chance and are already criticising it compared to the 360 which is silly tbh.
