1-10 How would you rate Current Gen Consoles?

[Armadillo]

this is flaimbait food for fanboys so i will ignore this topic.


This. There are so many fanboyish comments it's ridiculous o.0 The PS3 is useless? It has no games? It's too expensive? The 40GB Bigger HDD then premium 360, Wireless, Blu-Ray, and it also has games for 400$ all out of the box. The 360 Premium when it came out was 400$, What did it offer? A smaller HDD, No Wireless, DVD, but it had a couple more games then the PS3. Wow, wonder who got the better deal? The 360 has 3 USB ports IIRC, the 40GB has 2. Wow buy a hub, The 40GB doesn't have a card reader, neither does any of the 360's not even the elite, come on microsoft wtf. Seriously the ''too expensive'' comment is a failure, for a 360 to even COMPARE to the PS3 in terms of things you can do with it, would make the 360 Arcade ( 280$ ) cost over 450$. Wow whats the expensive console now? Really some of these comments seem downright retarded.

Comments are not retarded , it is too expensive if you just want a games console. Yes it plays blue ray , yes it has wireless, a bigger hdd , but all these things drive the price up. For the 360 to match it , yes it costs alot , but you don't have to buy all the extras.

Don't want hd dvd , don't buy the add on drive , don't care about wireless , don't buy the adapter. Same with the hdd , not bothered about live or downloads or multimedia , just get the memory card.

The ps3 is a great piece of kit , no doubt about it , if you want an all in one multimedia machine + games console. If you are looking soley for gaming and nothing else , then the price is too much.

Seems to me you started this thread , then when people start trashing your beloved ps3 , you get touchy and accuss people of being fanboys.

That was the first comment I replied to people complaining about the PS3. It's not my beloved PS3, I don't even have one. (yet) Okay Comments aren't retarded but it's not too expensive considering how many people bought the 360 Premium when it came out. It's affordable to a lot of gamers. You're right if you just want gaming the PS3 is too expensive but if you buy an HDTV for gaming you would want something that does it all for cheaper than the competition. And don't say the '' Oh most people don't have HDTV's '' Well guess what? Usually when people buy HD Consoles they play it on an HDTV. I didn't accuse anyone of being a fanboy, I said their were fanboy comments. Never accused anyone. Anyway enough arguing I can't afford to get in trouble with the mods

PS3-5/10-Doesn't interest me in the slightest. No games that I want (except one, read on), I don't give a damn about 'Z0mG GrAfiXX!!', and the controller feels cheap and light. The only reason it got a 5 instead of a 3 is Killzone 2.

360-8/10-Controller is freakin awesome (only beaten by Wiimote in my opinion), a fair number of good exclusives, Xbox Live is a blast, the only reason I don't have one is because I can't afford one.

Wii-7/10-Wiimote is awesomely intuitive and innovative, though many games haven't used it great. Virtual Console is great for retro junkies like me, and I can't hate anything with RE4

Wii - 6/10 because of its PS2 specs.

Even the Gamecube was ahead of the PS2 in terms of processing power. Please research facts before posting, thank you.

Ok I change my rating
Wii - 6/10 because of its GC specs.

Build quality/hardware

PS3 - 7/10 (its built extremely well, Sony stuff has a habit of breaking down after a year so this may drop. I have taken 2 points off because they keep removing hardware from the new SKUs)
360 - 6/10 (external build quality is great, internally it is a let down but they have continued to improve it, adding HDMI, etc)
Wii - 7/10 (like the PS3 its built extremely well, Nintendo stuff IMO generally is good though and I haven't had anything break down on me in the last 17 years. Lack of power is a small let down but it is obvious why it isn't that powerful)

Games

PS3 - 4/10 (So where are they, got some good games, shame most are available on the 360 and generally don't run as well on the PS3. Couple of exclusive good titles, future may change this, if they don't all jump ship to the 360)
360 - 8/10 (A lot of good exclusive titles, some good XBLA games as well, future is uncertain, they have lost some key 1st and 2nd party devs but seem to be gaining PS3 exclusives.)
Wii - 6/10 (Some great exclusive titles, some classics on the VC but 3rd party titles can be shocking, especially if they are ported for no apparent reason. GOTY exists only here. The future potential is higher than any other system due to the new areas it can take gaming.)

I prefer the 360 over the Wii for the moment, but SMG tops anything on the 360 currently.

ugh, it isn't GC level, and why would you give it a 7/10 if you owned one?

 

[ZAFDeltaForce]

PS3 - 8/10
+ Powerful stuff
- Overpriced system/games

Wii - 8/10
+ Affordable and very fun
- Games are a little too expensive for me

XBOX360 - 8/10
+ A wide library of good games
- RROD. What else can I say?

 

[TheNeck]

PS3 - 5/10
360 - 7/10
Wii - 8.5/10

 

[Mars]

I'd give each console an 8/10. They Wii is innovative and fun, The PS3 is powerful and has tons of features, the 360 has geat online capabitilites, is powerful, and has great library of games.

PS3 4/10
Pros: Hasn't reached it "Qlimax" yet
Has a Blu-Ray reader
Cons: Lots of PS3 "exclusives" are also availible on the Xbox 360
Needs more great titles
The Graphics arent better then the 360 ones, maybe later but now the 360 beats the PS3 in some terms of Graphics. (lighting for example)

Xbox 360 8/10
Pros: Has a lot of Great titles
A good price for a next gen gaming console.
Great online service.
Cons: Online gaming costs money
Lots of hardware failure

Wii 7/10
Pros: Fun to play with friends
A good price.
Cons: The Graphics arent Next-Gen.
Needs more big titles.

What do you mean by the PS3 exclusives available on the 360? That is a lie.

That was never exclusive. Sony has a contract with R* where their making a new series specifically for the PS3. And you said '' Lots '' I fail to see how 1 title is a lot.

Alright guys, keep it on topic, this is about assessing each console's individual strengths, not starting another console war debate.

PS3 - 6/10

360 - 8.5/10

Wii - 9/10

PS3 2/10 arrogant SOBs, overpriced, and no worthy games

XBOX 360 6/10 M$ second try, consolejacked PC games are the main stay which would've been better off as strictly PC games

Wii 8/10 Nintendo finally getting it mostly right again, keeping the price relatively reasonable, decent and somewhat unique games, controller, +1 for being the antithesis of Sony

and hey, I'll toss in the two surviving handheld consoles
PSP 6/10 Sony sort of gets it, not many good native games, lousy battery life

DSL 8/10 Good games (RPGs!), good battery life, easier homebrew, little underpowered

 

[ZeWarrior]

PS3 2/10 arrogant SOBs, overpriced, and no worthy games

Warning: Rant about me Defending PS3
This argument fails. It's underpriced. The PS3 costs over 800$ to make ( 80GB ) the 40GB costs about 600-700$ to make. Yet they sell it for 300$ cheaper. I can't see how it's overpriced. The Wii is overpriced costing a measly 198$ or so to make and being sold for 250$. There are many ''worthy '' games. Warhawk, Resistance, Motorstorm, Ratchet and Clank, All of those are worthy exclusives. The rest of your arguments seem about right though.

 

[cutterjohn]

No, sorry, fail. It's a console ffs! No console is worth more than $300 tops. I spent less than $600 to build a more powerful PC than the PS3 would be if it were a PC, and it can do more than play a few iffy games, and DVDs.

Beyond that, consoles historically, take a hit on the hardware price, which MOST console manufacturers expect to make up in software licensing.

Games: Those games don't interest me. The PS3 has no good games right now, and some games for it have already been cancelled, but they were not interesting to me either so it's a moot point. Bottom line no good RPGs, no GREAT other type of games at the present.

So, now we'll re-rate the PS3:
PS3 0/10 -2 additional points, "I saw a fanboi the other day..." "Terrible creatures, I avoid them whenever possible..."


Bonus round: re-rate of PSP
PSP 6/10 no pt change, but I'm thinking about getting one to emulate the PSX...

X360 - 9/10. This is now the established gaming console, too many AAA titles in the past 6 months to say anything else. MS's use of an easier SDK and API have allowed a relatively easy port of games from 360 to PC and back, creating more incentive for developers.

Wii - 8/10. New, many great games out and coming out, but the 360 has it beat

PS3 - 5/10. It is overpriced. Sony made it too expensive and they have to sell it at a loss to be competative, their fault. Harder to develop for, it's extra power isn't worth the time needed. It came out too late to beat the 360.
