PS3 most wanted next-gen console in the UK |
Listed in: Wii, PS3, Xbox 360 Tags: Microsoft, Sony
Ó

According to a poll by gadget magazine T3, the PS3 is officially the most wanted next-generation console. This is pretty surprising, since Sony's next Playstation console is still a whole 6 months away from launch. It just shows that the price of the PS3 is not putting off potential buyers.
Although no official figures were released, Sony's console triumphed over Nintendo's Wii, which took a close second place by a small fraction of the voting. Microsoft's Xbox360 didn't look so good, slipping in the popularity stakes by taking third place. The Xbox360, which launched before Christmas last year, scored less than half of the votes of it's rivals.
Its quite interesting to see the popularity growth of the Nintendo Wii. Ever since the launch of the original Sony Playstation, Nintendo hasn't fared that well in the console stakes. This polls suggests that the Wii is making a comeback, besting Microsoft by staying ahead it, and coming pretty close to current console top dog Sony. Could the Wii mark a rebirth for Nintendo? Only time will tell.

Oh really now, What have they copied from the Xbox360? People still mad about the motion sensing need to get over it.
Why buy two consoles with decent games when you can buy one console with better games? Xbox360 so far has crap for games. The sequals to its first party games show no real improvement besides graphics. The PC ports dont even look half as good as they do on a PC, and Xbox Live is far from being the best online system.
I cant find one thing that the Xbox360 really improved on from the original Xbox360. Controller is the same. Games are basically just graphical upgrades. PC ports are worthless if your a PC gamer as well. Xbox Live is worthless if your a PC gamer. Wait!!!, didnt microsoft want to target PC gamers with the Xbox consoles?
The Xbox360 has nothing really going for it right now. The top game on Xbox Live is still Halo2. Since the Xbox360 can track is people are playing single player games too, this means that people still dont find Xbox360 games good enough to put down Halo2, or the Xbox360 isnt worth buying to play games other then Halo2.
Heres a good reason why the Playstation will do well. Keep and eye on gamefaqs.com. Watch the top10 FAQ pages. How many Xbox360 titles do you see keep a top 10 Position? How many PS2 titles do you see on the top 10? Enough Said.

PS3's online will be a rip off of live. Live is by DAMN far the best online service ever seen so far. During E3 there was 600 TERABYTES downloaded off of it. Thats a massive amount of d/l's and users. Everything on live has been done twice as good than any online service. Servers are great, voice messaging is superb etc.

However, Playstation gets games like Metal Gear Solid, Final Fantasy and Devil May Cry from Konami, Square Enix, and Capcom respectively. All independant third partys that choose not to put these games on the Xbox.

Why buy two consoles and not one which has better games? So you're telling me PS3 is going to have better games than Gears of War + Zelda this November? Please tell me which are those games, Warhawk, Motorstorm, Fatal Inertia, is Fantavision 2 coming out finally?
You talk about upgraded graphics, where PS3 is the mother of the concept with Gran Turismo HD, the same game with better resolution, behold the power!!! XP

Come Christmas, same thing again.
With all this hype going on, im not surprise that its popular and is the most wanted.
Based on PSP, its going to be the same thing like before in the UK. I Think.

Since when did i simple "poll" become such a pain in the ass? Yea more people may "TRY" and buy the PS3, but at the end of the day you can't really say its better than the actual next-gen consoles! Until the PS3 arrives i say give it a rest already!
I Am loyal to all the next-gen consoles,
but i don't go around posting stupid comments like
"PS3 Will kill 360" or "360 Has better games".
Say what you will, but at the end of the day your all
in the same boat.
P.S
To the sony fanboys who don't own a 360,
You guys need to lighten up as its only alittle bit of competition!

I own a 360, its an incredible console, but each is gonna be great in their own way. Admittedly I wont be buying a PS3 immediately because I wont need two consoles - but I'll be tempted.
Any stats really cant compare at the moment because the market hasn't been able to sample 2/3 consoles, so everyone who is saying the ps3 is the most popular console is bias and hasn't a leg to stand on. Similarly the people who say the 360 will kick the ps3's ass.
So how's about we just look forward to what the 360 is gonna be able to do as stuff is released for it and wait to see what sony and nintendo are gonna offer us!
Then we can fight when its all released! lol

I agree with the person who commented on halo 2 being the most played game on live, it just shows the poor standards of 360 games currently available. The only thing to get excited about on the 360 is GTA 4, but i think i will even hold out for the ps3 version!
Microsoft got it wrong last time and they've *****ed up even more this time.

These polls only reflect the fact that its the newest fad.
This kind of stuff was going on when xbox first came out.
In the end it comes down to content!
Im perfectly happy with 360 and its live service.
Spectacular graphics, Unrivaled online service, Easy access to online friends, addictive arcade games.
Im sure ps3 will try to compete in this area. but for the mature gamer content is what really matters.
I like competitive playing, with friends. theres nothing more satisfying then completly dominating another team online. comunicating with the headset, listening to your opponent scream " would someone please kill him!!!"It makes paying $50.00 a year so worth it.
Ps3 is supposed to be free. And it very well might be!
But you get what you pay for when it comes to service.
And until Sony can prove to the world that they can provide the same kind of service that Microsoft can at no cost or at cost, then 360 will be the better system in my opinoin.
In the end 360 is for those who want competitive online play, and like to socialize.
And the ps3 is for those who like to play with themselves!
And the Wii is for those who like there games simple and easy to pick up.(Im not picking on the Wii, theres a huge market for that It will do well in my opinion)
In the end when Sony finally steps up to the plate, we will see who has the better system. And if sony can put out a good online system ill see you on the battlefield!!
Ill be the one behind you while your screaming my name in frustration!!

Xbox has all those games you mentioned, fool. Xbox has Metal Gear Solid: Substance. Xbox has Final Fantasy XII. Xbox has many capcom games including Street Fighter and whatever other lame games capcom makes. Not only that, but Sony just lost the rights to Devil May Cry (even if it is a crappy series). How about you get your facts straight before saying that Xbox will never have those games on its console.

@20: price-hype-poll? do it again in a month.
@all: I really dont get it on the whole "live" and sony copy "live" debates. You guys really should play some more PC games. Really. And well, thats a bit @24, I quote sony here "if we make it, they'l buy it".

they found that the controller is way more intuivitve then the keybord and mouse.
newer games will be made to be used for both pc and xbox live. either way we will find out soon enough since both pc lovers and xbox lovers will be playing together soon.
See you on the battlefield!!

Give me details on the poll size and the social demographics and then we'll see the truth behind their poll. This is more reflective of the T3 readership demographic than it is of the state of gaming in the UK.

It seems like the PS3 has won this generation already, not by much but enough to keep it as the leader. You must remember that the PS3's manufacturing price will decrease faster than the 360 and by induction they should theoretically be priced the same (the premium versions) within the next 1-2 years after the PS3 release. With a HD movie player, a more feature rich system, more power, and finally popularity, Sony will dominate completely 3 years into it's lifecycle. This machine is ahead of its time and as such it's price represents it.
BTW 1080P is available by both versions of the PS3. HDMI is not needed for 1080P.
I love the fact that MS is pushing their machine the way they are. They have a great machine with great online experience. It definitely aims at the PC players though. Furthermore, they will really hurt in Japan and Europe is already seeing a drop of sales on the 360 front. Lets hope there's more of a competition from MS when the PS3 comes out. They really need to step up their game library with RPGs, platformers and action adventure games. FPS players are a minority in the Console world.
Please note that the start of new Generations is always a battle for all companies fighting for your buying dollars. It is only after a year or two when you really start to see a product fly ahead. For now don't take polls too seriously but don't discount them either as they really do represent a somewhat view of what gamers as a whole are thinking. For example look a gamefaq poles, before E3 PS3 dominated the polls by a large margin but after E3 Wii has risen to the top. Wii seems like it will be a success within the first two years of it's life. Once the fun of swinging controllers around wares off and envying next gen graphics (by that time everyone will have HDTVs) it will slowly fade or maybe not who knows. For now just enjoy the show and reap the benifits, there's no better time to be gamer!

Xbox360 is NOT getting an exclusive MGS game
Xbox360 has ff xi, not ff xii, and thats not xbox .. plus the game sucks even more than the ps2/pc version
xbox has "many capcom games" so you list... streetfighter... it's nice 360 finally gets an RE game.. but they will be missing capcom/clover games such as killer7 or okami, or godhand, or viewtiful joe
and DMC is only on the PC aside from PS2, and the famitsu article was a mistranslation so it's still a ps3 exclusive
talk about needing to get facts straight
i'm not even planning to get a ps3 yet, but you fanboys..

So basicly people are comparing "crap" 360 games with video of PS3 games that arent even available.. Isnt that a bit of flawed logic ?
And how can anyone just go out and assume the PS3 will have all these "great games" ? or if the current game franchises that your eagerly awaiting a sequel to will maintain everything that made you like the series in the first place ?
You really got to have your head up your butt, if you declare the PS3 better than the 360 because you have no physical evidence to back up that statement.. Just your dreams of what you hope it will be..

more wanted, I just wanna play those sweet games!

So please stop fighting wait for the launh and then you can see.
Also in my opinin I think that PS3 will have a way better system profit in the long run due to the quikness of the manfacturing price well be. Also that they have over 100 million fans that are very loyal(I don't have a PS1 or PS2 ) and they dominate with the best games. the only 360 game that might make me get a 360 is Halo 3 that it Gears of War looks good but the sequal could go to the ps3 since they made ut2007 for the ps3 and pc only, so you never know. and heck you could alway buy a Wii and then wait and see which one is better 360 or PS3.
let the war begin on 2007 when the true games for the PS3 and the 360 come out.

The PS3 isn't even out yet but everyday I hear old crap from 360 fanboys about how they system is already a failure, how the online is crap, the machine won't play rented discs (thanks dumbass who made a new post just today) and a bunch of other crap... and frankly, I think its out of fear. Why else would someone devote their time to bad mouthing a system that hasn't even been released.

thats why we are seeing ps3 fanboys in our blogs.
And in conclusion, PS3 fanboys can spout all the sony specs they want but until it is in your hands and sony as made good on there promises( which they are known not to do!) all of your talk is speculation, and wishful thinking.
As for me, Im going home to kick some "A**" in Battlefield, then explore a few dungeons in Oblivion, and finally level up my black mage in FFXI!
ONLINE IS THE FUTURE!!
To my PC bretheren, Ill see you on the battlefield!!!
GOOD DAY!!! I SAID!!! GOOD DAY!

I'll just do all that on my PC thanks.
I can't think of any 360 games that I want that I can't get for the PC.
The 360 is a cheap alternative to a PC if all you want to do is play games… But what does it offer someone like me that doesn’t like FPS games?
I want Alan Wake, but again, its going to be for PC to….

Believe me I hope PS3 turns out to be a great system. Its good for all of us in the end. Compitition breeds good games. But I am tired of fanboys telling me that a non existing system is going to be so much more fun than the 360, and that it will cause my system to go the way of the dreamcast.
I can only be told so many times that there is a purple moon monster before I feel the need to show them a Biology book. Either show me phsical proof Mulder,or go home to your mommy.
For goodness sake! Im starting to believe ps3 fanboys are a bunch of Republicans!!

Also, most PS2 games were garbage at best, I own like five games, and three are GTA games.
Also, #49 is correct, this poll is not about which console people ARE going to buy, just which console they would LIKE to buy. I doubt the PS3 will do well with such a high pricetag.

PS3's online will be a rip off of live. Live is by DAMN far the best online service ever seen so far. During E3 there was 600 TERABYTES downloaded off of it. Thats a massive amount of d/l's and users. Everything on live has been done twice as good than any online service. Servers are great, voice messaging is superb etc."
dont even start with 600TB of Data. Fileplanet did more then 600TB during E3, in fact they go through a couple hundred terabytes daily. Guess what, Xbox Live during peak hours has less then 1/2 of the users Playing Counter-Strike and Counter-Strike is "FREE" and its just one game.. Xbox Live is no where near the best online service. Gamespy is the leader in online gaming services.
The controller for example. Nothing is really new. So they took off buttons and added new ones. Nothing new. The D-Pad still sucks for fighter games, and yes I do own an Xbox360. PD0 is by no means a "great" game. It seems your gaming expierence is limited to FPS games on the xbox, otherwise you would see that its poor in comparison to other FPS games out there. GRAW on the PC is still much better then the Xbox360 in terms of graphics and gameplay.
"You are an idiot, the reason why Halo 2 is on top of the xbl charts is because there are more xbox 1s on live than 360s. Also you say "why buy 2 systems with decent games versus 1 system with better games?" Well I think most ps2 games are mediocre garbage, the ps3 cost 600 fvking dollars, and most of all, the ps3 cost so much develop for alot of developers are running away from it, so the ps3 might not get all the exclusives it used to."
And you obviously stopped reading after I said Halo2 was still on top. Oblivion came pretty close to gaining the #1 position for a moment but since its been out for a while, everyone knows it wont. If the Xbox360 is such a good console, why havnt more people picked it up yet. I can goto the store right now and see several Xbox360s waiting to be purchased. So again, People find no games good enough to buy the Xbox360, or they just dont wanna spend the money to purchase an Xbox360 just to play Halo2.

The End.

>>35, saying that the Xbox 360 cannot keep up with the PS3 because of "hardware limitations" is so very, very wrong.
Maybe you should read more, instead of jacking off onto your Sony catalogue. Fanboy.

Scroll down to the bottom of the page (and vote).
You can vote as many times as you like because it doesn't check for multiple entries from the same IP. This fact alone makes the actual result meaningless.
Besides, since when does T3 gadget magazine represent the views of UK gamers? :)
