OGPP: Best next-gen console?

[Smuff]

Oh goodie.... yet another poll for the fanboys to sharpen their teeth on

We've all heard these arguements a hundred times or more before..... those with a 360 think the 360 is best, those with a wii think the wii is best, no-one likes PS3 (lol j/k).

I like the Wii... I can (if I so desire) walk out of my front door this minute and purchase with cash a 360 AND a PS3 and a stackload of games for both - so why don't I ??? Because I don't want either of them tbh. The wii offers me "something new" in terms of the style of gameplay, whereas the other 2 just offer the same repetitive shite I've been playing on various systems for the past 30 (YES, 30) years or so and a soooo tired and bored with. Yes the snazzy visuals and surround sound would go some way to covering this fact up, but I have a nice powerful PC that can do all that for me. and the games don't cost so much on the PC (lol)

/rant over........ back to whatever it is us old farts do to pass the time

My two cents (keep in mind this is coming from a non-fanboy, i own a Wii but I've played the ps3 and 360):

Wii - A utter fad with a few kick-ass games, will die soon after rush of good games.
Xbox 360 - Started badly but now it excellent, fantastic games and currently the only system which is active in (good) games.
Playstation 3 - Oh erm....like 360 it started bad and still is bad, sony is making mistakes with the ps3, will hopefully pick up later on.

No, this is...
Ugh, forget it.


This is what? THIS IS WHAT?!?! I'm going CRAZY with suspense here! FOR THE LOVE OF GOD TELL US WHAT THIS IS!!!!!

THIS IS SPARTA!!!

I would love to have a 360 and a PS3. And I have enough money to buy them. It's just that they're not worth the money, that's all.

The Wii is though, I love it! Now I just need some games, and I will have Super Mario Galaxy and Metroid Prime 3 in a month

 

[fenix4o9]

i vote wii.. wanna know y... the vc!!!!

 

[test84]

If anyone wants to play NOW, the 360 is best i think.
since Wii doesn't have much non-party, non-mini game games and PS3 is not hacked AND doest have titles to get a 600$ console + great TV to see what you bought.

I've only got a Wii and DS and I think the Wii really sucks so far. Not enough entertaining games and the so-called 'new' way of playing is merely shaking the controller or using it to point at the screen like a mouse. I've yet to see a game on wii that is innovative or new. It's mostly crappy ports from PS2 with 'waggle' added on, the best games are the ones that use the least amount of so-called 'motion control'.

I really want a 360

But no I don't have one yet, I've been broke for the last few months.

 

[ridgecity]

I think you really can't say what's the best already. The best Hd console console is the Ps3, the best online console is Xbox360, and the most fun console is the Wii.

The one I like the most is the Wii, I might get a Ps3 in a couple years, and an xbox360 seems not aimed at me, since I don't like FPS.

You should try out Godfather, the fighting controls make it really fun.

it saddens me to say it, but the 360 is.

My brother has been interested in that game, I might have to get him to rent it this weekend. Thanks for the suggestion.

 

[Cairpre]

Definitely 360, I think it has the best blend of single player and multiplayer games.

 

[imyourxpan]

Wii and 360 FTW!

 

[test84]

maybe new PS3 40Gigs and arrival of its hit games like MGS and FF will turn back some tides (how much will that change? not much, but maybe get it more near xbot)

EDIT:
i dont understand, how xbox will manage to do with its lack of directx 10.
if it stays this way, ps3's graphix will someday over run the bot.

 

[michaelf]

The Wii isn't next gen. There. I said it.

 

[roadbusta]

What do you mean? It may not be the bes next gen in terms of graphics and what not, but its still the "next gen"eration of Nintendo consloes (n64, Gamecube etc...)

 

[Fat D]

The best way to find good games for Wii is:

1) Don't look at games you can get as movie or for the PS2
2) Look for the Nintendo logo (the one that displays Nintendo as publisher, not the SoQ)
3) Wait for Galaxy, Mario Kart and Brawl. Metroid, Zelda, Super Paper Mario and some rare third-party games like Red Steel or (as I have heard) RE4, one of the few good ports, will help you with that.
4) Don't get Pokémon if you don't have a DS and a game of Pokémon Diamond or Pearl that can link to it.

 

[shadow1w2]

Arcade to Wii ports for the win!

Though Next Gen really does suck.

Gimme an old Arcade machine anyday.

 

[EmeraldEx]

Anybody who says Wii is not next-gen is stupid.

It is next-gen (current-gen, now), because it's part of the latest generation. There is NO argument about it, it's that simple.

Assuming we were back before the 3 consoles came out- Gamecube, Ps2, Xbox are current gen, Wii, Ps3, Xbox 360 are next-gen.

Am I not the next generation of my family because I'm ugly? Didn't think so.

End of.

 

[MaHe]

PS3 and Wii have both been huge disappointments so far. Their game libraries are simply ... inferior to XBOX 360 ...

 

[WeaponXxX]

I went with the 360... by far the system I play the most.
