They can drop the Wii's price at the drop of a hat as well...

People still use the concept images of the consoles all the time - like this article.



The black wii looked absoluely stunning - but perhaps it wasn't family looking enough?



The silver ps3 - not the finger print/scratch magnet our current model so clearly is - but it didn't really look like $600. And what about the boomarang controller - looked awsome - but don't mess with a good thing right?



and that 360 - well, it's the same. huh. With all the great games and marketing no one really fell in love with the 360's looks. Perhaps it was just a little too much like a home-theatre-pc, or maybe it was just the beige casing that won't go away (despite the elite looking better).



If we had the black wii, we'd want white. If we have the silver ps3, we'd want black. If we had the beige 360... uhh, we'd buy faceplates and decalgirl skins. Anyway, with the exception of the last example (slightly) we always wants what we don't have and different sells (unless one person is different from another then hatred is involved.)



Did anyone read this whole thing?

All I know is if I do buy a new console it wont be a PS3. Xbox360 is looking pretty nice to me, for now I'm happy with my PS2 and PSP.

your subtle humour is amusing

It's well known that the intelligence rate of America is 1/3. What smart person really buys from Micro$oft, a company who can't make stable OS or hardware. People need to stay away from Micosucks products and use Better alternatives Like Linux Mac and PS3. Wii included if you feel that way. A PS3 is a supercomputer it'self and can play computer games so why are people running to Windoofs. It makes no sence other than the fact that People are stupid. My thoughts on the 360 failure rate and Fanboys that d0on't let it get to them.



"To all BRICKBOX3FIXME FANS!! If you think as gamers that using a towel as standard practice to get your console running is okay... ...never dis another PS3 fan in your life!!"

I understand your confusion, but if you'd bothered to look at gamespot or ign and flip up the full list of wii games, there's things announced for pretty much every genre, even FPS(The Conduit) and RPGs(Tales of Syphonia).



The Wii could use more RPGs. My PS2 has got an epic backlog of them though, so I shouldn't run out yet :)

I read the whole thing, and yes it was totally off topic

as much as I want to agree with you Apu, this ain't gonna happen. The PS3 will be on a comfortable second place, though.



Also, why is everyone so cofident that ONE console has to win? I for one believe in a firendly coexistence of the PS3-Wii combo. ( sorry for that X360 fans, I just don't believe the X360 will last much longer.)

wilmheath is still enjoying his high end pc and 360 and not caring about the console war. Enjoy your fighting while I enjoy gaming.

Heh, you don't sound too smart.



By your logic we should be playing nothing but PC games. Since they've been HD long before consoles, they've had uncompressed textures and sounds and all that. And you know what? It didn't stop "weaker" systems like the PS2, the Wii, the DS from doing well at all.



You must have little between your ears if you honestly think the PS3 is going to win this generation. We're almost half way in and it's still last. Going off the current rate of sales and growth it would take Sony 6 years to overtake Nintendo *IF* they no longer sold a single Wii.



Sorry.



And also sorry for the high quality Wii games like Galaxy and Brawl not counting in the "sake of gaming" stake. Because looking at how highly they're rated and how well they sell - kinda breaks your points.



You don't seem to have much of a grasp on the industry and where it's heading so I'll enjoy reading your future posts for the lulz.



If the Wii and DS were selling bad and had no games for them we could probably take you seriously.

Ragged is a 360 fanboy, so just ignore him. I got into a debate and no matter how much he was getting flamed and proven wrong, he continued to talk out of his anus. He is unteachable and stubborn. Basicly like any other 360 fanboy.

Wii is a fad, but still a big child's toy. That is where it will stay after it dies out with real gamers. The PS3 has no decent exclusives... (I own one with 2 games... 2!). The 360 has the largest game base and best online experience (own this as well... I have about 35-40 games for it). I mean honestly. PS3 is getting pretty late in the console war for it to have such a lack of exclusives and the 360 keeps bring the heat.

This 360 hate is getting old. its a great system, with lots of great games. Online gaming is second to none. when you turn on the 360 you feel like your in a community.

360 has SOME of the best graphics seen this year. And system problems are almost non existent. (Finally)



Many articals ive read claim the 360 is a waist of time and the PS3 is the right choice. but Ive had my PS3 for a year now and the only games worth keeping are Uncharted, MGS3, and Resistance. all other PS3 games are also one 360 and I get them on that system because its more fun on 360. (Playing online w/friends, and Achivements).

PS3 just added achivments but since making friends online is so difficult, and im the only one I know with a PS3, achivments on the PS3 is not as much fun. (I like competition.)



Why are the articals I seem to see blog down on 360 and post small articals when 360 is doing somthing right.

Currently the 360 is the best all around gaming console system.



The wii is a great family, light gaming system.



The PS3 is a great Bluray Player and will have some truly fun games. Hopfully this year. (Fingers crossed).



The 360 hate is trully sad.

How strange... I'm likely (since I don't know you) a more hardcore gamer than you and here I am... content with what the Wii offers. I loved games so much that I even studied them at college and university and now work in the field. So I work and play with games, har har! If that doesn't make me a real gamer I wonder what you consider does.



Irregardless of system specs and "kiddy factor", if you're mature enough to not care what other people think of you then you can see what a good console it is. Infact I'd say I've had much more fun on the Wii than any other console. Not PC though, that's the ultimate hardcore gaming platform.

me thinks the uber fans are butthurt that the PS3 is n't dominating the console market like Sony promised it would.



Endless delays on HOME intergration can't be fun either.



It doesn't make it any less of an amazing console, especially when you're essentially getting a "free" blu-ray player in the package.



All I can say is that with the PS3's superior hardware, its a shame that it isn't outperforming the 360 on the level that Sony claimed during the pre-launch hype.

If Sony really wants to beat 360 then they need to make the PSN better than the XBL but still have it 4 free...PS3 is already on the rise due to Blu-ray and some exclusive games. PS3 and 360 have equal amounts of good games. XBL is the only real deal that 360 has left(no offense 360 fans but u probably already know this but too in love with 360 to care) and if the PSN beats or ties with XBL then Sony would definitely dominate

I stopped taking you seriously when you said Uncharted and Warhawk suck.

Yes you indeed are a troll. You even purposely dis PS3 titles for the lulz of our replies. Disk reading lasers break randomly and it's a known fact. Have you ever owned a CD player? Alright then.



In terms of the console wars, this gen has been really disappointing. The Wii is not what I thought nintendo had in mind, but I guess you can only be ontop for so long. The 360 is disgracefull. If the RROD wont get you, something else will. Now what was a 33% failure rate has been brought to a disapointing 17%. And then there's the PS3, the one system that really is the clear winner but people seem to be afraid of the future which willbe the demise if SONY is ever out of the game. SONY is always releasing the High-end machine That sets the stadards for the next gens.



Oh and your account was obviously created so you can see how many people you can anger in a day. My account has been here since Pandora was discovered. I also had a fat back then.



Sony is the only company really making an innovative effort on their console right now. Microsoft is just focused on stealing third-party exclusives and Nintendo keeps rehashing the same Mario/Zelda/Mario Party games all over again. Sony is actually taking the time and spending the money to develop completely new games and franchises, and trying to bring the gaming industry to the next level.



That's really each companies statistics in this so called console war. If you can't see that, your fanboyism is not letting you. Ret assured that you have been proven wrong again and pwnt. Don't post your trolling comments and

Some of you guys are very overcome with the concept that there is a war going on between video game consoles. Its a product... you buy it.. you use it.. you stop using it.. thats it. There is no war.. no white flags.. this is silly. Some of you are so consumed with this race to see which device sells more then the other that its down right pathetic. Its a huge testiment to just how shallow and dull all these fan bois are.

Sony Fans! Microsoft Fans! What the hell guys?



Why are so many of you focused on talking ***** on your console rivals? I know it's all about supporting your system, but this name-calling thing is a joke. 99.9% of the time, someone who's calling another a "fanboy" is usually a fanboy themselves.



All it takes is 1 small comment about being against the PS3 or the 360, and all the kids who forgot to take their Prozac start b*tching away. If someone starts talking sh*t on your console or has a different opinion than you, why get your panties in a bunch over it? In fact, why act like you're wearing panties in the first place?



Then there's those kids who literally ANALYZE every word of your comment; they even respond with a detailed list of all the statements you made in that comment. And below each of your statements is a reason why they think that statement is wrong. Where do people get time for that?



It's true that I'm a 360 fan, but it's also true that I respect everyone, Sony & 360 fans alike.. Many of the fans on both sides are chill, laid-back, and respectful. It's like each console has its good fans and its bad fans, but in the end, there's nothing more funny than watching the bad fans have their little slapfights on sites like these.



And can someone please get to work on replacing "fanboy" with something more creative?

I bought Uncharted and Warhawk off of Ebay. Uncharted was kind of fun but it didn't blow my mind also it only took 8 hours to beat and Warhawk which I really wanted to like ,I even downloaded the expansions as soon as I got it, turned out to have *****ty feeling controls and bad graphics. Seriously halo 3 destroys every game on PS3 except MGS4. I really want to like the PS3 since it cost me 500 bucks, but so far nothing has really impressed me. I do like remote play with pixeljunk Eden on my PSP though.

I couldn't agree with you more Sanzee... and I'm a PS3 fan!



Could any of you seriously imagine cross-format online gaming? We'd have all this useless arguing over our mics too *SHUDDER*

A nintendo Wii TV specifically made for the Wii!!!

Thats niccce joke

I'd much rather have intelligent discussions than deal with 360 fanboys who literally can't tell right from wrong.

I'm sure I'm not the only one that notices this but the 360 fanboys are always mad. They're very stubborn and act like a bunch of roidrage cases. They always look stupid dissing the PS3 while having no facts to back their claims. They're always *****y and get easily offended. The internet would be a better place if they'd keep their uneducated rants to themselves.

i did condulit is new ip which to me looks like a random shooter ( we have enough of those for all consoles) .. il pick killzone2 ,resistance 2, gears 2 any day.. the new tales game looks cool but where getting 1 to so i still dont see the justification of the word stride being use

I just love how you say that your rivals (xbox 360 fans) are the only ones whoever do anything wrong. As if Sony fans are all perfect.



It takes two to argue my friend. You can't tell me that you have never instigated a fight before. Your just as bad as any other fanboy, not better, nor worse.



Of course Sony fans are all going to agree on an "anti-xbox" comment and of course all xbox fans will agree to an "anti-sony" comment. But to those who have some balls, some balls who have actually dropped, know that I respect you.



Here is some wisdom for everyone: whatever console you support, know that no one gives a flying f*ck about your opinion. I don't expect anyone to give a damn about my opinion, so I don't say my opinion on what console I support. But to all the naysayers and haters out there, understand that you can continue to whine and whine and whine until the end of time. But all of your comments will fall far short of having any impact on someone in the long run. Your wasting your time.
