I like the upcoming library for the Wii better than the PS3 and 360, and I've always liked Nintendo products better, so the Wii was an obvious choice for me.

I've played the PS3 and it's okay, but it's nothing special. Other than the updated graphics it's not really any different.
There are some impressive games coming out for it, but not impressive enough for me to want to pay 600+ for a system and who knows how much for the games.

The 360...well, I've never been a big Microsoft fan and I'm not into Halo or games like it, so I have absolutely no interest in the 360.

Wii may not be as graphically enhanced as the 360 or PS3, but it's got a better library, better franchises, and a Nintendo VC. Microsoft and PS3 may have a VC too, but they don't offer the exclusive to Nintendo VC games I'm interested in.

Upcoming Wii library (NA)
Shrek the Third
Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's end
Surf's Up
Mario Party 8
Mortal Kombat: Armageddon
Tamagotchi Party On!
SD Gundam: Scad Hammers
Chicken Shoot
Big Brain Academy: Wii Degree
Mercury Meltdown Revolution
Scarface: The World Is Yours
The Sims 2: Pets
Fantastic 4: Rise of Silver Surfer
Escape from Bug Island
Resident Evil 4 Wii Edition
Transformers: The Game
Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix
Pokemon Battle Revolution
The BIGS
Cosmic Family

I've bolded what could potentially be the better of the library. Nothing really all that special so far. The Japanese line up didn't really add to this either. The only real 2 games to look forward to outside of this line are SSBB and Metroid Prime 3.

PS3 Lineup
MLB 07: The Show
Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's end
Surf's Up
Vampire Rain
Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Vegas
Fantastic 4: Rise of Silver Surfer
Transformers: The Game
Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix
The BIGS
The Darkness
Ratatouille
Lair
All-Pro Football 2K8
Madden NFL 08
Tiger Woods PGA Tour 08
Theseis
NBA Live 08
Grand Theft Auto IV
Beautiful Katamari
Two Worlds: Temptation

The Japanese line up adds only Ninja Gaiden to this list. All in all, I can't see PS3 being the big winner as of yet. However, if you compare the lineup between the PS3 and the Wii, you will notice a heck of a lot of "duplicates". Not exactly a good sign for the Wii. MGS 4 is the big one coming up later.

360
Marvel: Ultimate Alliance (Gold)
Monster Madness: Battle for Suburbia
Shrek the Third
Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's end
Surf's Up
WarTech: Senko no Ronde
Forza Motorsport 2
Shadowrun
Call of Juarez
Fantastic 4: Rise of Silver Surfer
Hour of Victory
DiRT
Transformers: The Game
Transformers: The Game (Collector's edition)
Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix
The BIGS
The Darkness
Overlord
Ratatouille
Two Worlds

I have not heard of any of the exclusives in here like at all. The Japanese library adds Trusty Bell to the line up, and potentially Bullet Witch. Otherwise, it seems like it's all the cross platform games, or games that I don't have a good judgement of until release. Halo 3 is the big one later on.

In terms of the game library expansion, it looks like the Wii has the slight advantage at the moment. However, if you take into account for the fact that Nintendo's consumer base has nothing to do with the PS3/360 consumer base, you'll notice that most of the games I've highlighted from there are really for casual gamers (with the exception of RE4). It looks like Capcom is heading in for some cash milking with the Wii, potentially similar to ubisoft's cashing in.

*isn't even going to respond to such idiocy as Soujiro's remarks*

Honestly, the PS3 and Wii aren't really worth it right now. They both have a handful of decent games and that's it. And yes, I have a Wii. There's TP (which is available on the Gamecube), Super Paper Mario, Trauma Center, Wii Sports, and a bunch of minigames and crappy last-gen ports. PS3 has Resistance and Oblivion (which is on the 360). Neither one have a decent online service, although I'd give the edge to the PS3.

The 360 is probably the console most worth buying right now. It has the best online service (even if you have to pay for it) and it's had a year ahead of the other two consoles to get a decent game library together. Still, there's not much there that I want to really try, aside from Oblivion and Viva Pinata.

Once they all get an established game library and the PS3/360 get a price cut, I'll probably wind up owning all three. But right now, the PS3 and 360 neither one really justifies the price for me, at least. The Wii's a bit better, but I'm still a bit disappointed. Of course, that'll change once the big titles like SMG and SSBB come out.

I personally own a Wii and prefer it, it caters to what I WANT from it and not what anyone else or my friends want from it. As amazing as the 360s online capabilities are, I can't see myself playing GoW with my friends as its really not my sorta game.

Generally, I'd say the 360 has the upperhand as someone previously said, its had longer to build up a strong gaming library and stole half of Sony's customers because they took too long and dropped a huge price tag on it which for the younger market isn't going to work as people generally can't afford it unless they work or get a nice amount of money for Xmas or their birthday.

However the PS3 does have blu-ray and SOME good home titles so, it all depends on personal preference at the end of the day.


I jitter back and forth to these forums. Hopefully this time i'll stick around :). Looking for friends, people from the UK and anyone and everyone to talk to. Hit me up if any of these is you.

Aw, whats wrong with me calling it Revolution?



I already own a 360 and I'm glad I do. Gears of War Online is all a 360 owner needs
Damn straight. Gears Of War is the only game I have for the 360, and I'm in love. I dont even plan on getting another 360 game until around the end of the year. There's this new game called Time Shift and it looks super awesome.

What's your gamertag? I wanna beat the crap out of you in some GoW XD

First choice is easily the Wii (like you would expect any other console to win in a poll on a Pokémon-themed forum), for Nintendo's first-party titles, and the many other interesting games guaranteed to come out on it b ecause of the new and innovative control scheme.

Xbox 360 comes in second for its pure power and it is guaranteed to get more support than the PS3 (for the simple fact that it is consistently selling more than the PS3, and devs want to support a system that has more owners...simple business sense.)

PS3...everything Sony could have done wrong...was done. Insane price (justified by power that barely edges out the 360 and a Blu-Ray drive that'll be pretty much worthless in a couple of years.), poor launch, loss of support that just keeps growing, scrapping of rumble features for a cheap imitation of the Wii's motion sensing, and poor marketing.

I have a Wii right now and it rules! The only downside I can see is current lack of good games! (Super Fruitfall, what the hell?) I MAY buy a 360 because of its price reduction and it's pretty good Game pool.
Well, it has lots of very good coming games, like Mario Galaxy, Metroid Prime 3 and Smash Bros. Brawl.

Well, this and D/P was the best thing Nintendo could do. They made sure every Pokémon fan in the world (or almost every) bought a Wii and a DS. Really Nintendo knew how to please us.
