The Newest Console Race (2006)

[Tails_155 (DJ T-Rey)]

Phew... long list... anyway...

What's your choice, and why? Please don't attack any console other than a "Why I won't buy this" and no evangelism

I'm a Nintendo fan from birth, but I may get a PS3 when it becomes affordable, I don't know yet, and the 360 I have strong interest in because Bethesda Softworks has successfully pleased me not once, but twice. The only catch is the Elder Scrolls series is also available on the PC.

I'll never part from my old systems, even though they're all in the Wii, but the old ones have a different controller feel ('cept the SNES, which the classic controller is almost an exact replica)

I wish I'd've bothered to ask my dad to take me to Wal*Mart on Sunday (11/19/06 for future refrence)

If arguements break out I may see about making this 1PO

im with ya on the nintendo. im not a big fan of sony right now. they're doing the same thing they've always done: release a popular item in very short supply right when demand would be at it's highest. doing that lets you sell somthing for three (or in the case of recent ebay auctions, 10-15) times what the product is actually worth.

and then theres the wii. i've wanted one since i first heard rumor of the "revolution", there's a ton of them in the country, and they are much more affordable.

both companies are going to make an absurd amount of money but nintendo seems the be a lot more consumer-friendly here. because of that, i would gladly buy a wii over a ps3.


ps. anyone who pulls the blu-ray argument here gets a kick in the pants. i sell blu ray player(s) in my department and they are not worth a third of what they cost...

My 2 older boys have been arguing over which is better Wii or XBOX360. They currently have an XBOX and are hoping to get a new system for Christmas this year. (Dad & I haven't decided yet if it's going to happen) From what I've seen I'm leaning more towards Wii because of price & the fact that it seems to have more "kid friendly" games (we also have a 7 yr old) Any opinions?

well Bethesda Softworks made the greatest game (of all time,) Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind, and followed it up with that which apparently took its place, so that's a big vote for X-Box 360, however it can be bought for PC, and you gotta like RPGs lol

Wii has many interesting tricks and can be played by pretty much any age, check out its commercials for more on that so for youth probably best be the Wii, but nothing against X-Box (Bethesda has just amazed me

I'd go for PS3&wii - one gives cool games the other means indoor workout fun
