1. It really depends on where this format war ends up - if Blu-Ray indeed pulls through, a PS3 would be a great way to have a Blu-Ray player from the get-go, similar to using the PS2 as a DVD player way back when (I used it for both, as I didn't have a DVD player before buying my PS2). The possibilities of Blu-Ray discs holding games seems interesting, although I've heard from a number of people that only movies would be used, and games would simply be DVD9 or equivalent?
2. The Revolution really has me excited in the same ways the DS did. Nintendo seems to have struck gold with their DS, and the Revolution seems like a pretty cool idea if put into practice well. The games will determine whether the Revolution will soar or crash and burn, as it doesn't really offer much else...Gamecube was a bit of a disappoint for me (especially coming from some great titles on the N64) and I hope Nintendo can really WOW me this time around.
3. The pricing is obviously a huge concern of mine as well as many others...if Nintendo pulls off a cool little machine with more than half the price tag of it's competitors, it's safe to say I will certainly be picking up a Rev on the release date. If rumors of the PS2 being $500+ are true, well then I'm going to sit out for a year or so until I really see something that makes me want to throw down that kind of cash, like Metal Gear Solid 4, assuming it's as great as most of us expect.

if M$/xbox360 had such a killer app, there wouldn't be a single reason for purchasing a PS(1, 2 or3).

Thinking about the console war, with the rise in console prices nintendo will finally have a considerable advantage if its price under 200. Think about all the parents with kids wanting a console, all they see is the price.

They love there cube with all the playable kids games
allthough they do like kameo on 360 and the FN3 demo they not much else they like
so it would have to be rev.
And im sorta looking forward to the rev my self too more then the ps3 anyways...

Perhaps you didn't realize that any drive incorporated with any video game machine is *probably* not going to live up to the same quality and price as a standalone player even a year later? Wait a year for blueray or hd-dvd and then buy a dedicated player. By then they will have come down in price significantly and you'll actually be buying a player that won't die 6 months or a year down the road and need to be replaced.
Same thing goes for MicroShaft's HD-DVD drive... unless they really come out with a quality product I expect you'll see more features on a retail box that costs just a little more than the proprietary drive. Proprietary upgrades are not known for being cheap.
Don't get caught up in the Hype. Maybe Sony won't release another crappy quality product like the PS2 was initially... I wouldn't hold my breath. If you want a PS3 wait at least 6 months for it unless you like gambling with $500+ and seeing it die in your living room in the middle of your favorite game just before you saved.
I figured out why the PS2 was so popular even though it kept breaking and people kept buying it, like someone else pointed out.... I think Sony has implanted a rootkit directly into people's brains that hasn't been found/spotted yet via subliminal messaging on the Sony Rootkit protected music discs. How do you all know that the PS3 will have as many games as the PS2 did?
That's why I wasn't infected: I don't listen to my music cds from the cd...I rip them, compress them, and listen to them when/where/how I want to listen to them. GoGo Gadget-Lame Codec!

The drive in the PS3 may turn out to be faulty. But im just not excited about the Revolution that much. I need to see more. See more about the controller and what games will be on it. If theres a good metroid or zelda game, I will eventually buy it.
"I think Sony has implanted a rootkit directly into people's brains that hasn't been found/spotted yet via subliminal messaging on the Sony Rootkit protected music discs."
Me niether. I have never bought a CD in my life. I just download what I need (which isnt that much at all).
But seriously, how did the PS2 do so good? It confuses me. I mostly end up blaming it on all the anime (a bunch of stupid cartoons) and Final Fantasy fans. If it werent for MGS 3 being totally exclusive to it, I wouldnt even consider waiting for it to drop even more in price. $100 for a PS2? Even thats too much.

PS3 doesn't interest games-wise one bit (Killzone as a brand has about as much appeal as Deer Hunter to me... And no, Deer Hunter does NOT appeal:) , but it might be useful as a blueray-player, and of course the hardware IS quite interesting.
I wish someone would come up with cross-compatible gamepads, meaning you could use the same wireless controllers in both 360 and PS3. I would pay double for that, just for not having a zillion different pads hanging around...

Wait, what's that? Oh yeah, those are all sequels.
A lot of 'gamers' seem too concerned with having the most powerful system just for the sake of saying so. I will pick up a Revolution on day one because it will be what systems are supposed to be about: fun. So far nothing has piqued my interest for the PS3, but a remade FF7 could change that

In the scope of the hardware, PS3 has no more features to offer other than more raw power. Power would have been a deciding issue in the past years, but that sort of devolopment has kinda leveled out at this point in time. realisticly, the next gen consoles are only upgrading the hardware to support HDTV out of the box. Woohoo, that's great, whatever.
As far as games go, that really has nothing to do with the console anymore. The game is only as good as the programmer who has created it. The programmers have plenty of power to work with from ALL of the next gen consoles.
So that just leaves new features on the console. What does the PS3 have to offer that is really "new"? In my opinion, nothing worth noting. Sorry to say it, but the 360 doesn't really have much either.
I have no doubt that the nintendo revolution will have some great new features.
You have all fooled yourself to believe that these are great consoles, but they're not. You are all just too excited to see something new.
Post by: SargeSmash on January 23, 2006, 02:24:00 PM
As for their games being youth-oriented, so what? I play both styles of games (with a few exceptions), and I'll take Mario / Zelda over RE4 any day. Plus, Metroid isn't exactly kiddy, and the newest Zelda isn't either. And OoT wasn't, come to think of it.
My opinion? As long as it's not something like Barbie's Horse Adventures, if it plays well, I'll play it.
Sarge out.

PS3 is not in my plans since there is not 1 title that I really like and that's not coming out on 360.
Plus, too much $.
I'll rather have my 360 with a HDDVD Drive and a Blu-Ray if bluray wins (If it wins, I am sure MS would release it for the 360 as well).
Using a PS3 in your home network would be selling your identity to Sony (remember their DRM scandal running unauthorized stuff on their CDs).
Plus, MS has enough $ to make sure awesome games/support is done to the 360.

This console wars is total shit, rambling on wich console has the best hardware or power is useless.
The only thing that matters in the end, are the games & if the gamer enjoy`s them.
So to be sure i choose: Nintendo Revolution. (main reason...The Legend of Zelda & Metroid)
Still, if the PS3 will have a good line up in rpgs (wich both xbox & the 360 seem to be lacking), then i might consider buying a PS3.
In short:
1. Nintendo Revolution (Main reason: Zelda / Metroid & evetually nintendo Classics)
2. Sony Playstation 3 (Main reason: Various rpg games, nothing else really...)
So as i said: It`s all about the games...

. PS3 has tons of exclusive awesome titles to offer. God of War, Shadow of colossus, MGS5, Killzone, Gt5, GTA (although they are saying that it will finally come out on the 360 at the same time), Devil May Cry, Resident Evil, Final Fantasy, Jak, Rachet and Clank, Tekken, Ace Combat, WWE wrestling games, and not to mention one of the best online co-op military games to date, Socom! The only real reason I purchased the 360 was because it came out first. There really isn't any exclusive titles on the xbox that appeal to me besides Halo and the Splinter Cell series. Although, I am looking forward to Guilty Gear and Full auto. The Ps3 hands down for me.

Revolution. Agreed across the board... PS3 is gonna be amazing graphics... but there's only so far amazing graphics will take you... Just looking at the quality of games Nintendo has released for the DS is hopefully a great indicator of the quality in gameplay we'll see on the Revolution... plus those who have worked with Nintendo's new controller say it's amazing and intuitive in ways no other controllers are... Backwards compatibility and emulators is a big plus... although I already have it for the xbox it would be nice to be legal and entirely bug-free, especially when it comes to Nintendo (and playing it on MS's hardware/controller just ain't the same!).
I think Nintendo is about to change the world of gaming again with a low price point and a great product. As for blu-ray, I don't really care enough, and I think it would be kind of lame to have a useless function on one of my consoles should HD-DVD win the format wars. Anyway, I could probably buy a Revolution and a Blu-Ray player when they both come out and pay less than the PS3 and get a better experience both with my Blu-Ray player and the gameplay of the Revolution.

ps2 has a huge library of games, and many of them are good.
xbox has great graphics.

Most people that are complaining about your post do so because you are suggesting that the Nintendo games aren't "mature" enough for adults to play.

1. Mario Kart Double Dash - Sure Nintendo makes a racing game that's colorful and cute that little kids are gonna drool from watching all the colors and cartoony voices flash on the screen. But for experienced gamers, nintendo adds in pro features like the skid/boost option which if you practice at it makes the game the most technical racer of all time.
2. Super Smash Bros. Melee - Again, a colorful game with cartoon voices. Even a little 6 year old can pick up a controler and be entertained. But when taken to the games full potential, the fighting and manuvering in the game is so technical that it takes months to learn the full abilities of a single charachter.
Nintendo is smart. They don't make a game for a certain age group or target audeince. They make games everyone can enjoy. Sad thing, people don't realize how in depth the gameplay of most Nintendo's first party games are because they shrug it off as some "kiddy" game.

but my money is by far on xbox 360 myself, cause once it gets hacked it will obviously be the system of choice just like the xbox is when it comes to moding and the benifits u get from it when compared to moding other systems.... the "other" systems u just cant do as much when there moded as u can with xbox.
p.s. i just dont get why the playstation name in general is so popular?!?! ... sure is has some good games, but the way i see it is anytime ps2 and xbox both get the same game u can pretty much guarentee that a high percentage of the time (if not always) it will be better on the xbox since the xbox is more powerfull than ps2... cause besides the games that are exclusive to the ps2 i think xbox is flat out better especially once u mod the xbox... once the xbox is moded i think it wipes the floor with the ps2 (even is ps2 is moded also)
only game i really like on the ps2 is basically the gran turismo series (i like GTA series to, but i dont like playing shooters on consoles so i got it for pc) ... but since the may 2005 release of "forza motorsport" i dont really need gran turismo all that much anymore since i think forza is superior to the gran turismo series mainly cause of the acceleration and deacceleration with the xbox's right and left triggers... makes it feel more "real" when compared to the ps2 methods on gran turismo... i have not played the most recent gran turismo 4 but im pretty sure the general gameplay is almost identical to the gran turismo 3 a-spec which i have played.
plus i like the cars in forza motorsport better ( shelby mustang gt500 , buick regal GNX , shelby cobra etc) ... gran turismo might have more cars in the game but there rather pointless ones after a certain point.... "muscle cars for life, screw imports!"

Yeah, Nintendo does aim their games at children, you can't deny. Mario doesn't exactly run arround shooting cops or running prostatutes over with a hummer. But the thing about Nintendo is that they make games everyone can enjoy. Take these two games for example.
1. Mario Kart Double Dash - Sure Nintendo makes a racing game that's colorful and cute that little kids are gonna drool from watching all the colors and cartoony voices flash on the screen. But for experienced gamers, nintendo adds in pro features like the skid/boost option which if you practice at it makes the game the most technical racer of all time.
2. Super Smash Bros. Melee - Again, a colorful game with cartoon voices. Even a little 6 year old can pick up a controler and be entertained. But when taken to the games full potential, the fighting and manuvering in the game is so technical that it takes months to learn the full abilities of a single charachter.
Nintendo is smart. They don't make a game for a certain age group or target audeince. They make games everyone can enjoy. Sad thing, people don't realize how in depth the gameplay of most Nintendo's first party games are because they shrug it off as some "kiddy" game.
u seem to have some good points... but the "kiddie" stuff is true and without more adult themed games it's kinda hard to enjoy a game with the graphics (kiddie graphics, and yes i know graphics dont make a game) that nintendo uses in most of there popular nintendo (first party) made games... when i was young mario etc (after mario 64 on N64, i think they went out the window) was good but now i just cant deal with them since they cant give me the expierience i am looking for etc.... i think this is why alot of people "dismiss" nintendo's first party games.... not trying to start anything with you at all
this is just what i think.... and also since alot of people like shooters that kinda eliminated nintendo gamecube since it's controller sucks for shooters and pretty much everyone says that.just my thoughts

I'll pick PS3 cause of HDMI, Blu-Ray and GT5
You mean Vision Gran Turismo 3 - Part 2
Let's hope they find time to improve the A.I. and add some solid online gameplay (with more than 1 car) this time.
Another 200 cars simlpy won't cut it
Btw.: The current HDMI specification doesn't allow 1080p (maybe a bandwidth issue), so component HDTV cables are the way to go for now ...

not really... sony couldnt make a decent game or system if their lives depended on it. playstations are just complete failures its not even funny.... sure they have a huge library of games but again not many good ones that justify buying a playstation. and besides people like to complain that nintendo has "kiddie games" but sony has way more kids games than nintendo and not to mention some total ripoffs of some nintendo games.
Oh really? Does Xbox or Nintendo have anything like Amplitude? Metal Gear Solid 3? Star Ocean 3? Xenosaga? Xenogears? Parasite Eve? .hack//? Resident Evil 4 (yes, GCN has this)?

BOYCOT SONY
BOYCOT SONY
I'm boycotting sony because of a few major reasons:
DRM Rootkit protected CDs opening up huge security holes. Installs on your comptuer even if you click cancel, using up processor resources.- US Sony president saying, "Most people, I think, don't even know what a rootkit is, so why should they care about it?" Source
- While MS fixes their shit when things break, Sony on the other hand forces you to pay a repair fee after 90 days with their console.
- Case in point with other sony electronics, I own a business and we use two Sony DCR-VX2000s. Firewire ports on BOTH cameras have broken. No other DV camera causes these problems. I tried to get them fixed through extended warrenty though MACK CAMERA, and they told me that they didn't have to fix it because it was a defect with Sony product, and to take it up with Sony. Sony told me that after 90 days they do not warrent any of their electronics.
- Sony only budges when class action lawsuits are brought upon them successfully. Many Playstation 2 owners have bought 2-3 systems within the 5 years console lifespan.
