Revenge of the PS3

Awesome Bro

I've had all the next gen consoles and the only one that survived ebay was my 360. There are many reasons why this is, but the main one is the quality/quantity of games available/due out.

Ok I am going to say this up front, I am Dreamcast fanboy somewhat so you can see where my bias might lie... Anyway having said that, people really need to stop making excuses for the PS3. They aren't the savior of video games like everyone always like to hype them up to be. If you remember, the original Playstation was supposed to be an add on to the Super Nintendo but Nintendo stupidly turned that down and it is considered one of the biggest blunders in Video game history. PS2 had a great run as well as PS, so why can't we just all relax and accept PS3 for what it is : a console that will always be in 3rd place, but outshines the Wii and 360 in ALTERNATIVE features.
 
Right I don't really care who thinks PS3 is better or whether they can't come to terms with the fact that it isn't.
But, we can't have 4D graphics because we don't know what it is.
4D is meant to be space and time, so is Mass Effect technically 4D? No.
There's left and right, forward and back, up and down. We don't know the forth dimension so we can't make video games in 4D.

Oh and GTA4 was held back on the 360 because PS3 payed it to be, otherwise it would already be out, but PS3 still need more time ¬_¬
But, I don't really want GTA4

I want Ninja Gaiden 2
Which I don't think is coming out on PS3 ^_^
 
Microsoft owns Rockstar, I doubt they delayed GTAIV for the PS3. Especially since the 360 version has a bunch of extra features.
 
Stands a chance against the 360? The wii raped both consoles silly in 2007, the 360 is the least of it's worries.

For example, the sales charts in japan two weeks ago:
Regarding hardware, the Wii came out on top this week, with SSBB no doubt helping to boost the sales of the console--94,473 were taken home by new owners. The PlayStation Portable came second with 72,528, then the DS Lite with 67,472, PlayStation 3 with 41,796, PlayStation 2 with 12,115, and finally the Xbox 360 with 6,060.
 
Dorito - That's in Japan. Seeing as America is way bigger, Microsoft don't need to worry about sales, especially in countries like japan.
Unfortunately, for me and anyone else in England, we don't get any companies based here ¬_¬

What the fucks all this talk about 4D???  I am actually laughing my ass off right here and now and no amount of text can summarise how funny that is.  The 4th dimension is TIME and every other dimension beyond that either doesn't exist or we don't know about.

I do. First we create a machine that has rings right, and they rotate around this ball (containing a human). Then the rings rotate continously around each other building upto to a certain speed (still trying to determine) and this then creates a worm hole for the pod (and human subject) to teleport.

If this fails, there's another one like it nestled safely in a desert somewhere. Don't worry.

long live 360!

The XBOX360 has 22gb RAM while the PS3 has 25gb RAM.

lmao.
Never have I heard of a home system with over 20 gigs of ram!

You must be referring to the onboard RAM, which pits the 360 with 512MB and the PS3 with 256MB.

No, check it up on the net, and the PS3/XBOX 360 Videos on YouTube.

Trust me, I had to watch alot of videos and read alot of articles to know which one to pick, but I got both anyway so it doesn't matter to me haha.
 
Wii is winning, and it will continue to win.  It's got the titles, the low price, the momentum, and (if the developer isn't a complete asshat) the superior controls.

As for who is in second, microsoft or sony, I don't even care.  Second place is just first loser.

Surely first loser goes to the ass hat that thinks the Wii is more than just a shitty gimick?
 
Wii was never built for hardcore gamers, it was built for regular people wich most have never touched a video game before (I look in my family and my uncles and parents own Wii's).  That's why Wii is such a good seller, because it has the biggest crowd (the average Joes).  If someone would actually make a poll with only hardcore gamers, the Wii would surely crumble down to last place leave 360 and PS3 up in the rankings pretty close toghether.

I would consider someone who builds a PC for $3,000 to $4,000 more of a 'hardcore' gamer. So all a hardcore gamer does is sit in front of a TV for hours on end? God, I do that every day bar the controller. :p

A hardcore gamer is someone that chooses Halo over life, FF over sex & WoW over marriage (Even though many people DO get married in WoW ... wow).

While I hate the idea of the 'hardcore' gamer as the title itself is retarded, I'll use it for this post in the way you're describing it as.

I'm a 'hardcore' gamer, and a wii owner.

Out of my entire collection, the 'hardcore' games I own twilight princess, super paper mario, resident evil 4, metroid prime 3, mario galaxy, guitar hero 3, and No More Heroes.  Hell you can even take guitar hero 3 off the list if you like because retarded fratboys like to play it drunk, but it certainly requires dedication to get your ass off easy mode.

The point is, these are all 'hardcore' titles on the wii, they're all critically acclaimed, and they all sold well, despite your claims of 'only casuals play wii'.

Casualfags do buy the wii just so they can lol as their midlife crisis buddies play wii golf, but if you seriously think the wii doesn't have it's fair share of 'hardcore' gamers you must be completely insane.
