Alright everyone so which do you think is best? The Nintendo Wii, the Xbox 360, or the PS3? I'll throw it right out there to, the Wii owns, and its definetly between the 360 or the Wii.

I'm going with the Wii

Yea HellKite I know how you feel. At first I thought the Wii was going to be a waste of money, but I started hearing good things about it and heard about it being sold out in every store in America. I looked at some trailers on YouTube, and I was like whoa... Now I'm begging Santa Clause to get me one

In order:

1.Wii

2.360 (Gears.Of.War.)

3. PS3

I have no respect for Sony. THey threw in a motion sensor for it's controller like a day after they got wind of the Wiimote. They have NO originality.

And Blu-Ray? Their are so far NO games that will require even HALF of all that disk space. The only thing that will result from the Blu-Ray is 1 minute loading screens.

PC Windows XP. I'm not getting Vista until it lowers to like $10 or they fix all the driver bugs/bug problems.

Yea... Didn't know a PC was one of the choices.  I'd pick a new computer anytime.

No it wasn't one of the choices, but what ever I guess. I dunno, I might or might not get the Wii, because the thing is it comes back to stores in january and I don't know if its worth the wait when I can just get a 360 for X-Mas. Thats the main reason I started this, so please stick to one of the three choices.

PS3. Forget the bugs. FFXIII's in-game graphics are cinematic quality.

That's a pretty weak reason, especially because every FF game for PS3 will come out for 360 as well.

Really?  When I say PS, I meant 2.  I'm deprived.  I havent never had a console in my life so I'd be happy with a 2

Well technically all consoles are programmed through computers

But with consoles I'd vote WII. The interactive remotes look awesome with the game red steel.

Cinematic quality LMAO

Wii looks like a console built around duck hunt. However, they do have Zelda, which is a pretty serious bargaining chip in my book.

However, the PS3 has more games i actually care about. (like Devil May Cry 4.)

XBox 360 offers me nothing. Especially since I'm not a fan of Halo, i mean it's alright, but there's better games out there.

Well I also got another question. I've discussed this with a lot of other people, but do you think I should just get the 360 for X-Mas, or wait for the Wii to come out on January. But the thing is, the Wii might be sold out again, and then I would of waited for nothing.

Everything I've heard about Gears of War makes it sound like just another generic shooter, and Hey, I've got a whole CD case full of those I've collected over the years.

PS3, mostly for Devil May Cry 4, but also so i don't have to keep another system around to play my old PS2 games. Other wise it would be the Wii, only because of Zelda, still hate how it's based off the technology of duck hunt.

Personally, for some strange reason, I'm a hardcore Microsoft person so I'm inclined to go for the Xbox 360. Only problem is, I can't really say I like any of them.

Wii has the Wiimotes, which were cool for the first week or so but then I got tired of that really quick. The controllers seem to always be either over-sensitive or not sensitive enough because you'll sometimes be trying to make your guy do the action you want, getting frustrated all the while. Then, out of nowhere, your cursor will shoot off and go all strange and if you're golfing, you somehow manage a 300 foot putt.

PS3 is a desperate attempt to stay in the game for Sony and really doesn't have much over the other systems. Even their hardware isn't all that much to brag about.

360 is pretty much the better version of the PS3, as long as you get the good package with the internal memory and stuff. The stupid little bundle looks like a pile of crap considering there's no harddrive, which pretty much made Xbox.

All-in-all, I wouldn't spend my money on any of those. I'd invest it into better junk to go inside my computer and play some really kickass games like Battlefield 2142. I don't know if it's just me...but it feels like they aren't making many good games anymore, either. It's all been done before, so everything is like a barely updated version of something else.

Wii want to play with you, and I want to play with Wii.

In my city the first shipment of Wii was sold out in minutes. The second shipment came in December 11th or so, and they gave out numbers beforehand and it was sold out within seconds. Now Wii are being told another shipment won't come in until after the 5th of January.

So I guess I'll get me a late Christmas present. Because, I'm saving my money to be more active in a game than just sitting there pushing buttons. In the Samurai and golf game, at least you have to get up off your dead a-- and move your whole body.

I, like it. TWO THUMBS UP.Wii win.

And I just now really read your previous post Phonix, is that the way you really feel? Because you are making me not want a Wii now, if that is the way it works. I don't need 300 ft putts. Maybe drives, but not putts. Have you really played the game?
