OGPP: Best next-gen console?

[Awdofgum]

I just tied the race between 360 and Wii.
Edit: Nintendo Wii Broke the tie and is now in the lead.

 

[phoood]

I don't have any fanb0ism for sony, but I think the ps3 pwns the 360 as a next gen system.

I like my 360, but haloz3 has shown me that the 360 isn't next gen. Just an awesome system. Bioshock isn't next gen. Assassin's creed isn't next-gen. Theres nothing out there (to me), that revolutionizes gaming for any system. Why do I say ps3? It's capabilities are a lot better than the 360's.

no, not the wii. it's a gimmick for crying out loud. i wish it wasn't though.

edit-pc. yeah, thats next gen. pioneering the road for developers, and setting the standard. and don't forget crysis.

The Wii.

- It doesn't break down every three minutes since it's not manufactured by Microsoft or Sony. Seriously, I couldn't even play three minutes of Halo 3 matchmaking last night. Fuck you, Bill. Fuck you.
- It has games you can enjoy with everyone. Yes, even the people who aren't virgins can play it! Amazing, huh?
- The gimmicky waggle bullshit is actually FUN.
- It's CHEAP.
- What console is the next Mario Kart gonna be released on? Ok, I'm sold

Out of all three consoles, the Wii is still the one I play the most with. eagerly awaiting Metal Gear on PS3, but other than that... It's just a good movie player. And the 360... I'm currently very angry right now. Better not talk about it. (shoddy piece of SHIT!)

I selected next-gen sucks.

Not choosing PS3 should be a obvious.
I want a 360, but haven't actually played any of the game to be able to tell.
As for the Wii, I'm starting to fall in to that group of people aren't very impressed with it anymore. I've been playing my PS2, DS, and PSP (mainly PS1 games) more than the Wii.

So PS3 isn't worth it yet (dunno if it ever will be). Haven't tried 360 yet. And Wii is disappointing me. 2 out of 3 sucks.

 

[thomaspajamas]

As much as I love my Wii, yeah I gotta say 360.

Right now in october of 2007, xbox360 has the upper hand just based on the number/quality of games it has. However, I think the wii has the most potential out of these three, and my vote could easily change within a month. The few good games that the Wii has are really good, and I think the controls really add to the experience as long as they aren't forced on by crappy third party developers.

 

[hollabackitsobi]

TBH, I dislike all of them, some a little less than the others. But I chose the 360, mainly because of it's excellent library of games. If it wasn't for it's unreliability and lack of built in wifi, it would be the best right now, hands down. Paying for XBL isn't that bad, TBH. Wii is probably last, because it's online is pitiful, and it offers the fewest features of all of them.

here's an article I found that's pretty interesting:

Wiis Gathering Dust in Japan


Sure, the Nintendo Wii is selling well in Japan. But are people actually using it or is the console just room decor? President of Famitsu publisher Enterbrain Hirokazu Hamamura not only predicts 30 million DSes sold by 2009, but also shows figures that indicate something like 67 percent of Japanese Wii owners are not using the Wii console recently. Which probably means people bought the Wii and Wii Sports, played it until they got sick of it and have returned to their DSes. Sure, Super Mario Galaxy will have folks playing the crap out of their Wiis again. But until then? Damn, it's been a long, hard dry spell since the console launched.

from: Kotaku

A steady stream of good games is needed and I reckon the Wiimote is just detracting developers from making decent games...the best games use the wiimote as a pointer or not at all. Makes me a bit sad but at least we've got that handful of nintendo titles that are guaranteed to be awesome

 

[T-hug]

360, obviously. Nothing else comes close.

 

[Orc]

I had to control myself from voting on the Wii because of bias...
X360 hands-down... the Wii is good but the X360 is fuck-awesome (

I'm crying because I have to go to a friend's house to play...)
The Wii has the same amount of potential the DS has but so far the only similarity it has from the DS is the shitload of crap-ass 3rd party titles...

I'm not flaming you in any way, I just needed to reply to that post because I disagree with you on every point you made

Opinions are fun!

 

[Doggy124]

For me...
1-Xbox360
2-Wii
3-PS3

But if PS3 can run backup games, my vote may change.

 

[Renegade_R]

Next-gen sucks!

Punch cards FTW!

I gotta go with the Wii
I'm fully behind the philosophy, and I love everything it offers.

 

[Spikey]

I have to go with the 360 in the end because it does offer just so much, and has lots of good games, with many more on the way. I would have liked to say the Wii, but the Wii's library is VERY lacking right now, with only a few titles in the future looking any good to play. Hopefully with the Wii's immense user base it has now, developers will start creating decent games for the system so that maybe one day the result of this poll could be a true Wii. But as of right now, the best one is the 360 hands down.

 

[TaMs]

Ps3
I have wii and i don't like it.
I don't have xbox360 or ps3, but i have played them both, so my opinion is pretty fair.

 

[adgloride]

I thought the Wii was last gen as it uses last generation graphics?

 

[jimmy j]

The control system means Wii is massive step up from last gen systems (even more so than both PS3 and 360 IMO).

Its not just a gimmick, either. The concept is still in it's infancy and I think we'll see it evolve on the next gen systems (PS4 etc).

 

[legendofphil]

If I take everything to date into consideration, excluding previews and rumours then its the 360 followed by the Wii.

I have more 360 games than Wii games and play my 360 a lot more than my Wii.

 

[GeekShadow]

I vote Nintendo Wii because of some good games but now I play more computer (The Orange Box)

 

[CockroachMan]

Wii has the most good exclusive games.. most good 360 games also have PS3 and/or PC versions.. best deal is to have a Wii and a 360 or a PS3..

Still.. I voted for "next gen sucks"..
