I think that PS3 has the most potential, but I think it's really stupid that they're using the blu-ray discs instead of HD-DVDs. The drive itself costs 300$, thats why the system will be so expensive (and possibly hurt sales).
Xbox is taking parts of the market, but its still no PS3.
I think the Revolution will catch on and outsell both of them. Its going to be the first one I buy.

I think the Revolutions is not "completely changing the way we play games", I think it's just giving a low power console and incredibly annoying controller. Remember the eye-toy? It's gonna be like that but the WHOLE console is one.
The PS3 is technically 50mb more powerful then the 360 (but then again iin this world 50mb is nothing) and it has potential, but the problem with Sony and Playstation is that they have never had many really good games. Amazing games with great quality are constanlty being released for the Xbox and the Xbox 360, where as with the Playstation there's always about 1000 shit games released for it with about 1 good game (the Grand Theft Auto series).
So the Playstation 3 has potential, but I dont think it's going to be any good, also wtf is up with the boomerang controller? And why the hell have they used the Spider Man font style for their logo!?!
Now to start talking about the 360. This console has already had some simply amazing games released for it, for instance; Ghost Recon: Advanced Warfighter (yes it was released for other consoles but the 360 version just blew all the other versions away), Perfect Dak Zero, Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion (same thing as with GRAW it was released on other systems but the 360 version stands out the most) BattleFeild 2 Modern Combat ( A re-make of the original for the 360 and is looking B-E-A-utiful) and, many, many more that I cant remember.
Also what you have to remember is that so far all of the games that have been released for the 360 have only used about a quarter of the 360s power! So there's still 3/4 of power to be used. Thats why I think the 360 also has pontential.
seen the screen shots for Red Steel yet? On a normal TV, yo wont be able to tell a difference in graphics... Nintendo will release a normal controller but the on right now will be awesome for FPS. And Playstation has FF series, though i hate both FF and PS, may people love it.
There isnt anything next-gen about the Xbox, apart from the fact its a powerful computer that supports HD.
:) The others have actually changed stuff.
The PS3 hasn't changed anything either then. Apart from the Blue-Ray disks which aren't needed and are going to make the console cost loads.
And "Next-Gen" just means the next group of consoles, it does'nt mean they have to be revolutionary.
Look, Sony cant even mkae their own logo!

Dude, have you seen the new specs rolled out for the ps3 like 3 days ago? They will be supporting video chat AND audio chat THROUGH ALL GAMES in the online environment. Meaning, you can be in the lobby waiting for a game to start, and talking to someone playing a completely different came. Such as....playing COD and talking to someone playing madden, or something.

The PS3 cost is going to be around £260 i beleive, because they delayed it for so long. It was originally going to be £400.
And gameplay, PS2 has more realistic physics and gameplay then the x-box anyways, all x-box do is fast paced games.
The graphics on X-box SUCK compared to Ps2 games. Anyone seen the game "Black" ? WOW.
If i liked online gaming , i'd buy a X-box. Fast paced more arcade style games. . . But i have a pc for that.
I like isngle player games, for my consoles. And multiplayer ( not internet though ) games. That's why i'm buying me a ps3!
) heh rhymeage (
What about the people with no internet conenction? I dont understand what your saying? And you'll be able to download classic Nintendo games and play them on the revolution.Quote:

For the no internet people, HOW WILL THEY DOWNLOAD GAMES!?!?

lol thats like saying what about people who buy a ps3 and dont have internet connection... they cant use any of the features you listed for ps3 below. Get the internet, simple. Im sure they will have the games come out on CDs anyway.

Yeah, that's what i'm figuring/hoping at least. What i mean is...is that while i know they have launch titles planned (they seem awesome, especially that shooting/sword one), and have a nifty controller.....for many people the inlcuding of the older games is a huge plus. If they dont have a connection, its not very easy to get the games..unless you go to a friend's.
I understand your point about the ps3, but you can still have a lot more single player possibilities with the PS3, as i imagine backwards compatibility is included. And unlike the revolution, the PS doesn't need to download its games, so it wont need an internet connection to PLAY a game other than a launch title or specific revolution game.

Personally i hate that font :) A i dont think they will keep that controller.. rofl look at it.
WTF... "What about the people with no interent connection". What about the people with Commodore 64's they won't be able to use windows 3.1! lol, omg that was funny. If you don't have an internet connection, you probably live in ethiopia and your main concern is hunting antelope, not beating Tony Hawk Underground 3. Companies don't tailor to the smallest percentile, they target people that can afford the system and it's overpriced games. If you drop $600 on a console, you should have a $300/year internet connection.
I just checked out the Revolutions controller setup, and I gotta tell you I'm pretty interested in seeing what it can do. I think it would have been cooler if they had done some sort of glove system, but whatever. It will be pretty amazing if they can get a Star Wars title with full on lightsaber battles.
Nintendo has made it a point that outdoing PS3 and Xbox 360's graphics would be an exercise in futility, Sure they *could* do it but gaming is at a level where the graphics are platued. I play all my computer games at the lowest graphics settings and it doesn't bother me in the least. Yes, flashy graphics are nice, but when I look for a game I'm not looking for graphics. I'm looking for innovation, amazing AI, Interesting effects and storylines, and soon with the Revolution a new way to control the gameplay.
Hehehehe 43 ever hear of the PowerGlove for the NES? Major ownage, coolest kid in school :)
Yea the Rev's controller is very different from other consoles, I think its a neat idea and certainly a draw for people who look for a different gaming experience.
Oh yeaa the boomarang PS3 controller, shizz design. Sony said they are scrapping that for another: http://gaming.engadget.com/2006/03/22/sony...oller-redesign/ **(The spherical controller isnt the new design, imagine that though... forflrofrlflrforlflrflrlflr)
I've heard alot of complaints so far about the 360 scratching discs, overheating etc. etc.

lol did you guys acutally use/own a power glove? It was horrible, one of nintendos huge flops. Looked cool, but played like crap.
Yeah the powerglove was junk, but it was deffinetly the thing to have back in the day.
I tell you what I'm looking for, a total emersion into the game. If they could make a Star Wars game with a lightsaber where you could actually control the blade, have realistic first person battles, and deflect blaster fire in real time...jesus man, that'd be my childhood dream come true. I don't care how dorky it makes me sound. I would dish out $100 for the game alone, easy. I'd like to say that nintendo never falls short of expectations, but unfortunetly they sometimes do. I have a feeling that the first few titles that use the 3D motion controller are going to consist of a fruity new mario game with some weird gimmick (like the DS' games) and a rollerball game featuring Yoshi or some bullshit. I think it's going to be a good while (maybe even never) before a seriously solid use for the new technology is made into game form.

The Xbox had at least 3 times better graphics than the Playstation could ever cope with! Halo 2 had the best graphics in a game that anyone had seen in a loooong time (before the release of the 360) San Andreas? Graphics sucked ass, and compare the graphics of the SSX series to the graphics of the Amped series, Amped is about 1000 times more realistic. And I would like to remind you that Black was released on Xbox AND PS2 and the graphics for the Xbox version where miles better than the PS2 version. You seriosuly have that backwards man. thats like saying "a 64mb hard drive will hold more than a 200gb hard disk" if you know what I mean.Quote:

San andreas was designed to be kinda cartoony looking, i'm talking about the highest end graphics , ps2 games. I could name x-box games with sucky graphics and compare them to the best ps2 games. that's just be lame..
Hehe, 43. I don't think your dream is giong to come true, it'd probably need to be a whole suit. Where it has the p[ower to stop your arm , and overpower you yourself, so that your opponent could actually pose a threat to you. But that would be a pwnage game....
grrrr check the new screenies for Red Steel! If you hold the controller sideways the gun turns with it and what not, its pretty cool. And the graphics look good too.
yeah, red steel does look good.
I'm just going to sit back and wait for the prices to drop...also allowing me to see which system i like best. If there was a star wars game or some other game like 43 said...then i'd most certainly buy the revolution, no questions asked. It wouldn't be the only game like that, i imagine.
How will stores let people play the revolution? i guess they'd need some sort of tandem thing to attach it..otherwise you coud just walk off with the controller.
I'm just gonna buy all three and e-bay the one I hate the most :D
i like the idea of a revolution in the gaming industry.
You all just have to wait. Untill all 3 systems come out, you all right like little children.
All I can say is, I love my 360. It blows the shit out of any graphics I've seen on a PC. =P
I can't wait for the revolution, it looks really tight. =)
The PS3 dosen't look to interesting to me, but I may change my mind when it comes out.
i think the rev, the controller is annoying but wen ya flip it over it becomes an old SNES controller...cant get much cooler :P...but aparantly it will be able to connect to the net and you can d/l any nintendo game before it, intersting, hmyes...ps3 maybe, 360 maybe i just love my PC too damn much, everyone should go back to playing N64's they really do rule
Im not even going to read any posts.
My theory is corrent in every console based arguemtn.
It depends what you have grown up on.
I grew up on nitendo and xbox, so i say xbox is better.
A lot of people greww up on PS2 and think PS2 is better than the 360 ROFL
PPL who say nintendo are sexually frustrated.

your theory is wack. What if you did really grow up on any of them? I had NES,then sega, then a ps, then a n64,then a dreamcast,then a ps2, then an xbox. I hated my ps2 so much i sold iot for an xbox. Nintendo IMO s the best games all around. Sure xbox and ps2 have some really big hits but nintendo games are awesome in general.
Theres a fair few people who dont fit my theory.
But in most cases it fits ;)
True, i've grown up on SNES and Ps2 and Ps1. Nintendo gameboy, gameboy advance, psp... and i've played x-box.. and i'm not used to the style so i guess that's why i don't like it. I like the kinda more single player / multiplayer ( not online ) feel of the ps2. If i wanna play oonline i'll use my pc, i prefer that as it's more precise for being on the internet ( where you kinda need more precisssion)
Everyone knows the Nintendo Console is the Wii, now. Right?
Yeah Nintendo came out with an offical name... Wii WTF?!?! Wii is such a stupid name. Im gonna feel so retarded caling up somewhere and asking if i can reserve a Wii.

how to pronounce Wii? wee?
It is pronounced "we", yes. Nintendo chose it because in doesn't need any translation in any language. Because it isn't a real word.
"Mom, I'm going next door to play with Jimmy's Wii!"
