BZ . . . what I am trying to say is that XBOX (released after PS2) and the 360 (released after PS2 and before PS3) is not going to do all that well. Sony may be a bunch of baby greedy people that are all talk and no action, that silly school attatchment, but the PlayStation does have the best games on the platform. The team under the work of the PS3 is doing a good job waiting for the 360 to become history so when it does come out, it will kick 360 off this planet. I've played 360 and there's this 1 game, Oblivion or something, and everyone thinks it is amazing but it really is crappy. Who cares if you could put on all sorts of armor on your created character and have him "jump"... er actually float threw the air. The game isn't all that great, but it has certain features I like. Do you seriously want to play any sports game for like 2 hours straight and actually have fun with it? I personally dislike the sports games of any platform because I can't sit myself down and move around football players to reach a goal line if the quarterback passes it successfully or if you could run past everyone on a basketball court to throw a ball into a basket.

Though the best sports game I ever played and is my #1 over any sports games to this date is NBA Jam for SNES. Someone going for a super jump dunk form half the court while you wait at their own court to push them when they come down :D It doesn't get much better than that!

Polls say that PlayStation over any XBOX system, 360, 900, or 1800 . . . I don't care because Bill Gates thinks he can score big by competing with the video game industry. He's totally right and he's got a lot from the economy from his stuff. But in reality, more that 70% of people prefer PlayStation over XBOX. Games are games, and I love games. However, I dislike the fact of multiple systems in which we the consumers have to pay out of our asses to obtain in order toplay these different games. I am happy with PlayStation and I will never spend more than $50 for the original XBOX.

First of all, like I said I'm a sony fan.  Sony bought me years ago with the PSOne.  Now when have you ever known a system to launch and in three months they still don't have 10 quality titles that would make you want to trade in your old system for a new one.  At least they could have done the backwards compatibility right, but they didn't.  I don't want to have to look at a list to see if my game will work on the 360. I don't have to do that with the PS3.

The Revolution Wii is innovative, but like someone already said, I have all of the SNES and NES games that I want to play on my computer. And the controller threw me off.  Now granted I wasn't all enthused about the N64 and Gamecube controller, but they worked out okay, IF EVERY GAME THAT U PLAYED WAS ZELDA OR MARIO!!!  Not good for sports.  So right there people are going to not buy the WII.  And when I say people, I mean Adults.  Kids will love the system, but adults will want something that they can sit in their living room as part of their entertainment center and not have other people say "what the hell is that, the tv remote". That is why I personally will wait for the PS3.  I don't care if they launch in 07, I will wait.

Oh and please list those 10 must-have games for the XBOX 360.  Don't be embarassed if u cant. I can name 10 for each genre on the PSOne and PS2. 8)

PS3, of course.

I mean, it will (or prolly will, depending on which) have all my favourite stuff... Like MGS, FF's, RE's, DMC's, Onimushas, Tekkens, WE, DQ, among a lot more stuff... I really don't see myself with any other console than good ole' Sony's nowadays...

The only genre Sony can really claim to have mastery over is the RPG, and this is solely because of Square.

Your point about the Revolution (I utterly refuse to call it the Wii) not being considered an "adult" system demonstrates the idiocy of the American market in putting style over substance.  Unfortunately, that's the world we live in.  Just don't blame the game developers for the marketers' stupidity; at least try it before you knock it.

I've seen nothing for the PS3 that I'm overly impressed with, and if I know Sony, their lineup is going to feature hundreds of cheap GTA knockoffs.  The only thing that might make me interested is a potential FFVII remake.  The 360 has Oblivion, but that's on PC as well, and it's going to be a while before we get Halo or KOTOR 3.  The Rev, on the other hand, is going to have free online Super Smash Bros. at launch, or very close to it.  This alone should persuade anyone and everyone to buy it.

Also, sports games are for people who can't play real ones.

And Wii also gets the entire Metal Slug series, plus a new one that uses the WiiMote.
Xbox 360 will have some fucking awesome games.
And for all Sony fanboys bullshit of "Xbox only has ports", they go all crazy over FFVII remake...Hopefully after people who have played the original play this, they will realize the graphics are nothing to make the game special. Unless it comes jam packed full of extras (all art, all music, all movies. On demand).

Time will tell.

Everone has their own opinions. I am considering the Wii along the road because of its cool features. The PS3 will still dominate, it just has the best line up of games to come. Every console that comes out always has some crap games in the beginning. But looking at MGS4 and DMC4 just makes me more eager to play them when they come out. Another good thing about PlayStation is online play. It's free damnit!!!

Well, for u to say that Sony will produce nothing but clones of GTA lets me know that u r an idiot. And PS2 already has free online play, so will the PS3.  But who really wants to buy a Wii just for playing other kids in SSBM when I can play...let's see, Tekken, Soul Caliber, maybe mortal kombat and the list will go on.  So go ahead and play against other kidz.  That is why I say it is not focused towards the adults.  I know that when I go online I play either Socom, Madden, or other mature games.  Oh and about the sports, I guess the Pro sport players from all the major leagues that Play sports games on their respective systems can't play real ones, huh?  What a dumb comment.  Sports games are in.  Anytime I have to pre-order Madden 8 month's before it comes out and then wait in line to pick it up shows that sports games are what helps a system sell also.  Too bad for the Wii.  I can't wait to see Madden 08 for the PS3.

What remake? The FF7 remake that the creator said wasn't going to happen?

Ever visit OC Remix?  It's composed almost entirely of college-educated adults, and practically everyone there plays SSBM.  Literally millions of people will want a Rev for online SSBM.  Besides, Tekken sucks.

SOCOM sucks.  Madden sucks.  Neither one is "mature" and for you to suggest so demonstrates a fundamental lack of maturity.

I mean real video games, not real sports.  I couldn't possibly care less about professional football, or anything even vaguely similar.

I highly doubt that people will by a Wii just because of SSBM. Especially from a company that is known to make you wait for games like Zelda and Metroid for about two years! But for real, you have a valid argument.  But I work at Eb Games and let me tell you, Out of all the questions we had about reserving the next gen systems, the on that people hardly ask me about is the Revolution Wii.  And madden might suck to someone who probably doesn't even play sport games, but to the millions of madden players, they are waiting for the next one.  Every year, madden sales more copies of its game for just the PS2 than there have been Gamecubes.  And its funny that every game that u said that sucks is a best seller.  Now I don't hate Nintendo.  As a matter of fact, Nintendo is what started me into video games. I have very fond memories of playing great games on the NES and SNES.  Great childhood memories.  But you see, that is the problem.  These games were good when I was  child.  I am now 27 years old.  I don't want to play another Mario game or hybrids. Nintendo still caters to the children, which is not bad.  But when these kids grow up, their taste change too.  I wouldn't mind playing a mario game every once in a while.  But when every game on your system deals with mario in some way, while on XBOX they have Halo and Fable, and other games; and on PS2 they have all of the Final Fantasy's and Dragon Quest and others, I'd think if I owned a Nintendo system, I would feel like I'm missing something.

So my question to you is this, what system do you own right now? Do you own more than one system?  And if you do, why?  I ask because I only have a PS2 and I'm satisfied that it is the only system that I need. I can play just about anything on it.  I mean I can even play Chrono Trigger!  I mean I might miss Zelda or one Mario Game, but I would rather miss out on that rather than 90% of the games that I play on my PS2.

Oh, and I'm very mature.  Madden is a true simulation football game, but u don't like football, so of course you won't like it(unless they have mario in it).  But I bet you play mario strikers and Mario tennis.  (By the way they are good games, for a while) Name 10 mature games for the Gamecube. Oh and u can't name RE4.

Bah. Madden is coming out on Revolution. Madden is also really shit this year. Don't deny it, the Wii line up is going strength to strength.

I'd believe that; it's the way the market is over here.

Yeah, I know.  Amount sold does not equal quality.  If that were the case, pop would be the best genre of music.  It is unequivocally and objectively the worst.

What changed?  Is Mario not fun because you can't bang prostitutes?  Really, the last few Mario games haven't been up to spec, but that's not because of any lack of "mature content."  It's because the games just plain haven't been as much fun.  And I hated the way they whored Mario out to EA like a Vietnamese prostitute whose original price was ten dollars a head but was talked down to three dollars for the entire platoon.

I fail to see how this makes a difference.  I also fail to see why you refuse to post with proper English.  It makes your posts easier to read.

Can't blame you for wanting some variety.  Nintendo's lack of third-party support is its own damn fault.  I prefer to pick up at least two systems per generation, so I can have that variety.  But to be fair, Fable is ridiculously short and Halo's single-player level design is notoriously repetitive.  Also, Dragon Quest fails.  Final Fantasy is a strike against Nintendo; if they hadn't been stupid and had switched over to CDs earlier, FF would still be on Nintendo systems.  The same goes for a lot of other games.  Mega Man switched to Sony for the third generation of consoles, because Nintendo didn't have any foresight.

In order by generation, PC, NES, SNES, Sega Genesis, PSX, N64, GBA, GameCube, Xbox, Nintendo DS.  The only PS2-exclusive games I'm interested in playing are Final Fantasy games, and I borrow my friend's PS2 for those.

Oh and u can't name RE4.

The original Mario Tennis was awesome.  But I'm not nearly as big of a Mario fan as I am a Zelda bitch.

As far as M-rated games for the Cube, most M-rated games are available on multiple systems, including Mortal Kombat, BloodRayne, GUN, Killer 7, and others.  I wouldn't name RE4 if you put me at gunpoint; the game's fucking terrible.  Eternal Darkness, the one true GC-exclusive horror game, destroys it on all counts.  But again, mature content does not a good game make.  See Shadow the Hedgehog for proof.  Then again, why is blood and guts in a game more important than just having fun with it?  Is it for the sake of seeming "cool"?  Because I guarantee you that a better way to be cool would be to put down the controllers and get a job at someplace other than a video game store.  If you play video games with any regularity, you're a nerd, and there's no way around it.  The good thing for me is that I don't care.  I do what I feel like.

Geez... This topic has become another freaking taste/opinion war - -"

Seriously now, going around pointing stuff as bad, lame and shiat is just... Reckless. It's a matter of taste.

And well, when one says that being pop doesn't mean it is good... Agreed. Then again, how can there be people that say that Mario and Zelda are pop? Nut-jobs!

And well, I would never say like GameCube 5ux0rZ or Pee Wii is gonna be lame or anything... It's just that stuff like MGS3, Shadow of The Colossus, God of War, DMC3, Onimusha, Tekken, DQVIII, FFXII among a lot other stuff makes me wanna laugh when someone comes to me and says "Man, GameCube owns ur pantz, u should sell lamezor PS2 cuz GameCube rulzorz"... That's just reckless. Way reckless.

The only time the idea of having a GameCube passed through my mind was when RE4 came out and it was said it would be only at the GC... How happy I was when it came out for PS2  :)

I'd prefer the Wii and 360 thankew. If PS3 will do what me and my friends think it might do, we're gonna take a step back and avoid it for the most part. We've heard rumors of that Blue-Ray disc thing will make the HDD react to the disc so you'll be unable to share discs.  It'll just take the game information so you can't play any other version of the game or the game itself unless you use that one disc. If they go through with that, I'm not even going to touch it.

Although, if that isn't the case, it will still be Wii->360->PS3. Wii for the fact that I have faith that the controller can do marvelous things. (Two ports in the controller that can be used for most anything? Virtual Reality headsets anyone? Dual-wielding guns?) 360 because I am curious of its RPG line up which looks pretty good to me. PS3 comes in last, only because it likes to carry a big fat 800 dollar cost. I certainly will want it when Kingdom Hearts 3 comes out, but before then, nothing appeals. For the most part, I want all the systems of every current generation (except the Xbox, I have a vendetta against that.). I still want to get a PSP in the event their line up becomes a little more appealing then what they have now. As of late, I couldn't care about my consoles. KH2 has passed and the most fun I have is on my DS.

In fact, forget the new systems. I just want more DS games.
