where is the point in buying a "next-gen" console if my old one has the same gfx as the next-gen console. the only pont would be if you have money to throw out of the window.

also my x360 has gfx like this: http://www.megaleecher.net/uploads/GTA4_XBOX.jpg what does the wii have? gfx from the year 2002.

Wii is about fun, entertaining gameplay and is catered for all ages.

Xbox 360, PS3 is about cutting edge technology be it in soft or hardware and is catered to a certain range of players.

If you emphasize on gfx as marketing pitch among these consoles, then you are wrong. Wii uses fun and unique gaming experience as its pitch.

If theres a GTA4 for Wii, i would get it rather than on Xbox 360 or PS3 despite the old gfx you have been crying about.

wait for Crysis for the ps3 and you will see gfx like that on a console.

Yeah, two years later! :laugh:

Seriously, consoles are the Honda Civic's of the gaming world. All flash, no guts, and priced for the ignorant masses who know nothing of performance.

also the xbox 360 premium costs less than a wii.

Factor in the cost of xbox live and a wireless adapter both which are free on the wii and ps3 and it becomes more expensive.

Neither need a 60gb HDD. I know because I've got a 120gb xbox elite and there is nothing on it.

zOmG, somehow I predicted the emergence of of n00bs in this topic. Bashing the Wii from every angle only because their RedRingConsole and their DesktopSizedPS3 looks nice on their HighDef display...

I have all 3, I use all 3, but I've enjoyed the Wii the most, there's no doubt in that. My BluRayTank is only used for that, just to watch BluRay stuff. And my VacuumCleaner360 is just there to collect dust as I'm not a fan of FPS. Though it's funny when I see comments bashing the Wii all over the place, despite no one can deny the fact that it has sold almost as much as the DRing360 and BlackTank3 put together.

the wii is not a real console. it's a toy like a gameboy. "real" consoles have good graphics like x360 or ps3. the wii has the graphics that my xbox had.

also x360 arcade and premium are cheaper than the wii

There both console as everyone has said, although i think the xbox is more of a PC than a console..


If i buy any of them it be the Wii, the xbox i got back in 2003 kept my interest for a week.

Who cares what the graphics is like. The gameplay and the kind of control Wiimote introduced is its biggest USP. Wii's sales worldwide assert that. People don't buy Wii for its graphics, they buy it for something that's truly next-gen about it: the enhanced human-interface.

Since when did better graphics decide which console was more fun. The dreamcast had better graphics than the ps1 and nintendo etc but failed miserably.

Popular does not imply good.
Good Graphics do not make a game fun.

Saddly, the Wii is not very fun for me. Most of the games were very childish, IMO, and the Wiimote gets very gimicky. Oddly the best game was the free sports game that came with it. I found myself playing that more than any of my other games.

And I wonder if that 50m also inlcudes the Gamecube sales, since the Wii graphics chip was identical with higher clocks...

Another example would be World of Warcraft. Not the best graphics yet 11 million players.

If Athlon sold in every store (or market demographic) Pentium sold in, and the brand name "Athlon" existed for as long as "Pentium" did, your comparison would have been valid. Sadly it isn't. Wii belongs to the same time-frame and market Xbox 360 and Playstation 3 does. That's a more logical (if not perfect) comparison.

Partially true. As for time-frame, the Wii came the latest, a full year after the RRing360 and a couple of days after BlackTank3, yet sold nearly as much as both consoles put together, despite its "lame" graphics and "childish" games. It's a fact people, get over it.

I suspect most of you guys are adults, then why do we have a discussion about what the best console is? all three PS3/wii/xbox360 are consoles by defenition, although they are turning into media centers ( not a fan of that, ive got a PC for a reason).

Ive seen this back in the sega/nintendo days, and i always wonder why people have the urge to say that one is better than the other, its all personal opinion in the end, if you bought a xbox360 and are happy with it, why do you need to prove to the world its superior to everything else? why does it bug you that someone says PS3 is better? as long as you are happy with your purchase dont worry about what others say.

few factual things though.

Someone said gamecube has more performance than the PS2, and thats true, Capcom has to turn down the graphics for the resident evil 4 release on PS2 compared to gamecube.
You dont have to take that as insult, i love both my gamecube and PS2, and have no problem bringing out negative sides of any of those consoles.

The Wii like it or not is a console, and its more console than anything else on the market now, nintendo went the right way with innovation rather then only better graphics, also they were able to keep the price down this way.
I have a Wii, and it started out promesing with mario galaxy and zelda, but now there is so much crap on it....thats not the nintendo i remember.
I also have a PS3, solid stable system, has in my opinion the superior exclsusive games compared to xbox360( i wouldnt mind playing fable 2).
But both PS3 xbox360 have a general lack of quality games , most come out on the PC, so i rather play on that.
This generation of consoles has lost its way i feel, ive been a gamer since the mid 80s, and a die hard console gamer at that, it became very expensive, and games have gone down in quality.

I suspect most of you guys are adults, then why do we have a discussion about what the best console is? all three PS3/wii/xbox360 are consoles by defenition, although they are turning into media centers ( not a fan of that, ive got a PC for a reason).

Ive seen this back in the sega/nintendo days, and i always wonder why people have the urge to say that one is better than the other, its all personal opinion in the end, if you bought a xbox360 and are happy with it, why do you need to prove to the world its superior to everything else? why does it bug you that someone says PS3 is better? as long as you are happy with your purchase dont worry about what others say.

few factual things though.

Someone said gamecube has more performance than the PS2, and thats true, Capcom has to turn down the graphics for the resident evil 4 release on PS2 compared to gamecube.
You dont have to take that as insult, i love both my gamecube and PS2, and have no problem bringing out negative sides of any of those consoles.

The Wii like it or not is a console, and its more console than anything else on the market now, nintendo went the right way with innovation rather then only better graphics, also they were able to keep the price down this way.
I have a Wii, and it started out promesing with mario galaxy and zelda, but now there is so much crap on it....thats not the nintendo i remember.
I also have a PS3, solid stable system, has in my opinion the superior exclsusive games compared to xbox360( i wouldnt mind playing fable 2).
But both PS3 xbox360 have a general lack of quality games , most come out on the PC, so i rather play on that.
This generation of consoles has lost its way i feel, ive been a gamer since the mid 80s, and a die hard console gamer at that, it became very expensive, and games have gone down in quality.

Welcome to the interwebz. We've been expecting you.

your right sales are sales, im back for lunch btw...LOL! cant post at work. goverment computers block me from logging in but not viewing the page..grrrrr..vile temptress...anyhow, the wii sales in my opinion are hype if you cant have something your gonna want it bad, and if suddenly your given the chance to buy something that hasnt been in stores all year your like OMG!!! i must buy it or it wont be here tommorow, compulsive shit, overrated hype, and also the wii in my opinion sells to people in the more non gaming community they look for family fun, nothing wrong with that it is a game console, it gets done whats it suppose to, its graphics are last gen or worse but nintendo found a new way to go, lost my buisness and respect but they found a new way. and if your gonna keep throwing re4 in my face..UM!!!! all the grand theft auto games...gamecube no way could have played them...um grand turismo.....i can keep naming i dont find a need, just cause a console realease 1 good game doesnt mean the console is good it just means it got lucky, the dreamcase realeased more than 1 good game, didnt mean it was a good console and didnt mean it was a bad. and my forearms hurt from typing. LOL!
