However

I now own all three consoles

This is basically what it boils down to,

Xbox 360 has the online gaming, Nice graphics, A ton of titles and a much better dashboard to boot, over the ps3

The PS3 has some really nice looking games, but is lacking titles ps3 only titles, They have a few, but none really that i personally felt compelled to purchase. The “Home” Dashboad that i mentioned in an earlier post with high hopes, turned out to be a flop, Its not a Dashboard at all, Its basically a horible game. I have used it once to try it out, and lost interest very quickly. With all that aside, the fact that you dont have to buy a subscription is very nice, and does have some really nice looking games, Slightly better graphics then the xbox 360, and of course the blu-ray player.

The Wii, is still throwing out innovation in spades. However, Lacks desirability for hard core gamers, which i belive will eventually take it down. I have still haven’t played my wii all that much since i bought it.. Though i gotta say its a ton of fun playing tennis or bowling if your just sitting around bored with a few friends.

In a Non-Biased oppinion, this is how i would rate them. Owning all three systems i think i can make a fair judgement.
#1 Xbox 360
#2 PS3 (Close second)
#3 Nintendo Wii (Distant Third)

However, this is the opinion of a hard core gamer. If I was a casual gamer, my opinion might differ. Then again, a Casual gamer cant really make an informed decision.

It was tough to read some of the extremely biased and un-informed comments, the guy that said that blu-ray is a flop is kind of looking like an idiot now. however, with that aside

On the subject of the PS3 having larger storage. I am still using my 10 gig hard drive that came with my xbox, and i have not had the slightest bit of a problem with it. Lets be honest, these consoles are not at the point that you need all that much hard drive space. Sure with the 80 gig hard drive, you can have 200 demos, but how many people play a demo more then a couple times. Putting MP3′s on a Console is almost uselss with the networking abilites of both the PS3 and the 360. Why spend the time putting them on your console, when you can stream them from your computer. Same thing goes for movies.

I am sure in the future, defently on the consoles of the future, there will be a time when hard drive space becomes necessary, however we are not there yet and i dont see it as more then a marketing gimick. At todays prices, you are paying 100 dollers more for 40 gigs more hard drive space on the PS3 compared to the base model. You can currently buy 500 gigs for $103 online for your computer.. the prices just dont add up. You also get 2 more usb’s which literally cost pennies to make.

Anyways the point im making is that there are a ton of more useful things to compare the PS3 and the 360 that using the hard drive space as one is almost trivial.

I am an owner of an Xbox 360 and a Nintendo Wii, i am planning on getting a ps3 for the blu-ray player. However, even though the wii has outsold both systems, i would like to point out that most people i know who own one, myself included, really dont play their wii’s very often. I would say my 360 gets about 99.9% of my gaming attention. The wii’s target consumer was casual gamers. A good way to go no doubt, however non gamers dont play very often, nor do they have very high expectations out of games. If you were to directly compare sales, then yes, i agree that the Wii is a sucess and a formidable foe to Sony and Microsofts consoles but essentially at the end of the day, that is really just a temporary goal. A gaming console designed for casual gamers is never going to dominate the gaming market. Once the wii trend is over, they will have to bring more to the table then just novelty appeal.

My outlook for the PS3 is good however, even as a current xbox fan i can see that once PS3 comes out with their new dashboard called simply “Home” that is more online community friendly, It will steal a lot of the Xbox live fans that are interested in the online gaming aspects of the next-gen systems. The fact alone that it is free compared to the subscription xbox 360 owners are forced to pay in order to play online will be a big obstical for Mircosoft to overcome. Microsoft will have to come out with something un-paralelled to offer paying subscribers to make the money worth it. As far as i have seen of the New Xbox Dashboard that is sapposed to come out the next few weeks, it looks like they did alot of copying of the Wii and the ps3′s dashboard. That doesnt sit well with me. I hope at least Microsoft comes out with a blu-ray version of their HD-DVD add on.

A few months ago i would say that Sony PS3, even with a slightly more powerful machine, is not up to par with the 360 due to the 360′s superior online abilities, which is what the next gen systems were designed for. If “Home” is as good as it looks, and Sony gets a few more game titles, It wont be long before they surpass the 360.

Secondly, I’m tired of people saying that PS3 has the better graphics or better “potential” than Xbox 360. On paper, the 360 has a superior graphics processor. There’s a reason whenever side by side comparisons are done the 360 version looks better.

Now for the 360 PS3 talk… Yeah maybe the xbox came out before the ps3 and the specs don’t quite match up to the playstations but it came out first and they are reaping the benefits just like the PS2 did… Notice how all the games that came out in 2007 for both systems were rated better on the 360?? It’s because the companies have had more time with the 360 and were able to tweak their games to work better. And I don’t know how all you playstation junkies can get on here and talk shit on the xbox atleast they didn’t go bankrupt and have to sell some of their divisions to stay afloat. Dropping the prices left and right on the PS3 isn’t going to make it more appealing especially since the flop of Blue-Ray 1.0 1.1 2.0 or whatever the hell its supposed to be and still doesn’t compare to HD-DVD.

Sony fans it’s time to pack it in and pray that the PSP does better because you can kiss the console days goodbye!!

And as far the people that said why get a 360 you can just play it on the computer… Why get a PS3? They have little to NO exclusives PERIOD keep sitting on that PS2 and remember the good ‘ole days because sony is through.

Sorry this is kinda of rough but i wanted to post this quickly hehe

Xbox 360
Whats to say about the 360 it obviously benefits from being released first in 2005 like PS2 was. (not including the dreamcast) I don’t have a 360 i only have loads of friends who have, although some got bored of it and switched to Wii i do feel its stupid you have to pay for Xbox Live sure it delivers more but i don’t need “more” if i have 50$ more every year . Xbox has a lot of random titles on it some good and some bad although the majority of random games like Kengo: L of the 9 those games suck not like most PS3 games but lol (no just kiddin) but they suck.

Wii
Wii you love it or you hate or you have never played it, (or never played a good game for wii) thats because of the controles that are simply new and i played S Mario first and there the controles are used in a way thats not to far from a normal controller but still better than one. Buy a Wii try after all its cheap enough its really fun maybe you should rent one but ultimately just combine it with a ps3 or 360 its the best u can use it.

Overall Sales Number Analysis
This implifies what i think (360=12,7mil PS3=5,4mil Wii= 13,1mil at this time) Wii can be bought by non-gamers and gamers while 360 mostly and PS3 totally are gamer machines.

PS3 CATCH UP PLS !!!!!
