Top home console of 08?

http://videogames.yahoo.com/feature/console-wars-who-won-08-/1276642

No surprise it's the Wii, but the big news IMO is that the 360 is still beating the PS3.

Even with the fall of HDDVD PS3 is still lagging behind in console sales and getting killed on game sales, similar story with the PSP, not looking too good for sony in the console market.

[FrighT MasteR]

F da 360 :mad:

[3/6]

only reason 360 is beating it is...
1. 360 is cheaper
2. a WIDE variety of xbox only games

ps3 got shitted on when exclusive play station games decided to starting making them for xbox too..I.E. GTA 4...
the only exclusive PS3 game is pretty much Metal Gear Solid..

fuck 360...P.O.S.

[strtfghtr]

GTA was never Playstation exclusive...Sony fanboys only think it is. All the GTA's are on PC and GTA3, Vice city were on Xbox as well.

The price drop in the 360 is a big reason why IMO, though if more people take advantage of the Sony card deals you can get up to $150 off a PS3.

I figured in 08 the PS3 would kill the xbox just because of bluray...maybe the HD movies arent a big enough reason yet.

The game sales is a big teller, most console companies make money from licensing games, not making systems. Only Nintendo makes money off every Wii sold, the other companies lose money through them. That example of the COD game speaks volumes the 360 market sold more than double the copies. This tells me a good portion of PS3 owners don't buy a lot of games for it (I'm in the group I only have 3 PS3 games and around 12 360 games).

[Slayer]

360 teabags PS3 :D

[Nigbo]

The 360 overall is a better system
It has a better online community and at the end of the day, unless u never want to play multiplayer I think thats huge on why the 360 has been winning

ps3 has been playing catch up on everything 360 has been doing since it was released, which i dont understand considering it came out after the 360

And people will always dog the shit out 360 years because of the RROD problem, but no one ever talks about the bricked ps3's from the 10 updates u have to download each month

[Shreds_of_Flesh]

only reason 360 is beating it is...
2. a WIDE variety of xbox only games


Yeah Right. :thumbsdown:



the only exclusive PS3 game is pretty much Metal Gear Solid..


LittleBigPlanet,God of War, Ratchet and Clank, Resistance, Killzone, Uncharted, Warhawk, Motorstorm, Heavenly Sword, and a bunch of other n00b killing shit...like Jak and Daxter :alienfu:

I like the 360 though, but only reason pretty much is for their Arcade, Dead Rising, Gears of War, and their SHMUPS they're getting in Japan, yeah, I need a Japanese 360 :mad: Oh and PS3 is region free :alienfu:

[UzumakiW]

I'm going with Fright and 3/6 on this.

Fuck the 360.

[Shreds_of_Flesh]

I don't have a 360 yet, I don't want to pay for a RRoD :cussing:

Fucking Damnit! Fix your shit MS :mad:

[Mudvayne_Eternal]

Had one...sold it...Hate it.

[Misfit]

:alienfu: jealous ps3 owners

i had a 360, the cheap one....hated it...sold it to my friend for 200 buxz..then the next day the 360 price drop occurred :D
only regret i have for selling it is left 4 dead..that shit looks fuckin sweeet...dead rising was fuckin dumb IMO..

but fuck 360

PS3 owns

i hope all you 360 fan boys get the RROD

[Shreds_of_Flesh]

:coolbeer:

[strtfghtr]

I find a lot of PS3 fanboys loom over from PS2 fanboys...blindly following is no way to go.

I have my PS3 and love it as a media machine, I love my 360 as a video game machine. (both are good media centers but the 360 blows at dvds)

That list you have shreds...only Little Big Planet interests me in the slightest, I can pass on the rest of em.

i never followed blindly, like i said i bought a 360 first and HATED it..

360:kicknuts:PS3

[toxicangel19]

:shakes: lots of 360 haters in here amaze me...WELL GUESS WHATTT??? I love my 360!!!! I love playing halo and fable 2 and gears 2 and playing online and everything its great!!! I say FUCK ps3.....too damn expensive..doesn't catch my eye anyway...most of my fav games are on the 360 and Wii and I have both systems. I have a ps2...The only reason i would ever buy a ps3 is because it plays blue ray dvds and eventually blue ray willl take over and blue ray players are more expensive than the ps3.

[Luris Blear]

Woohoo Wii!

[FrighT MasteR]

:shakes: lots of 360 haters in here amaze me...WELL GUESS WHATTT??? I love my 360!!!!

:bitchslap:

[darkoverlord]

I have a 360 as well but i play the PS2 more

[toxicangel19]

:bitchslap:


:kicknuts:

[Freddy316]

The main reason the 360 is doing better then the PS3 like already mentioned is the 360 is cheaper, and these days with the state of the economy people don't want to spend as much so they are more likely to go for whatever is less expensive. I think as Blu-ray starts to become more popular and Sony lowers the price of the PS3 we will see the PS3 overtake the 360 in terms of sales.

[strtfghtr]

i never followed blindly, like i said i bought a 360 first and HATED it..

riiight...

You just said you werent a gamer right?

Your opinions of the systems shouldnt matter too much then...that's like a Non-horror fan saying Dario Argento sucks because they saw one of his trailers once.

'The hell does that have to do with anything?

Anyone whose played the systems should be able to have an opinion, whether or not they consider themselves gamers or not.

Telling 3/6 his opinion doesn't matter too much is a pretty dumb thing to say.

[FrighT MasteR]

Agreed, as long as you play the systems your opinion should be valid

[strtfghtr]

ok I'll count his opinion.

so 3/6 what do you hate (specifically about the 360?)
The better graphics?
The better console interface?
The better online community?
The better games selection?
The lower price?

3/6, what do you hate (specifically about the 360?)

There you go 3/6, I'm sure these questions sound a bit better.

[3/6]

thanks for clearing it up death :D



3/6, what do you hate (specifically about the 360?)
1.the battery operated controllers, :dislike: at least ps3s comes with a charger...360 you gotta go out and buy one...
2.it overheats like really bad
3. suxz to watch movies on
4.madden looks fuckin retarded on 360
5. its almost louder then my fuckin computer



The graphics?
:puke:

The console interface?
its aight...if i remeber right there was'nt a switch to turn the 360 completely off..that fuckin thing u had to plug the 360 into then that gets pluged into a outlet pissed me off...and the fuckin light was ALWAYS on

The online community?
honestly, i didnt like it...i remember reading a 360/ps3 comparison before i bought my ps3 and some argued that the 360s choices of avatars is better the ps3s and that pretty much won him over??? :die: i could care less about my fuckin avatar

The game selection?
only thing 360 has goin for it..i want left 4 dead dammi!! :cussing:

The price?
k 2 things it has going for it

[Shreds_of_Flesh]

yeah Live is overrated to the max, pay for what? CRAP :thumbsdown:

:D

[strtfghtr]

thanks for clearing it up death :D

3/6, what do you hate (specifically about the 360?)
1.the battery operated controllers, :dislike: at least ps3s comes with a charger...360 you gotta go out and buy one...

yeah buying the pack does suck but the 360 controllers have a longer cable so you CAN play when its charging and not be 3 ft from the system, also my PS3 didnt come with a rumbling controler...lame


2.it overheats like really bad

not sure what this means but I guess you are referring to the RRoD, you're right on that...no excuse for M$ they messed up big


3. suxz to watch movies on

DVDs - yes it sucks, HDDVDs its awesome, and the downloadable movies are great as well...as for streaming movies from your computer that depends on how good of a file you download


4.madden looks fuckin retarded on 360

I have no idea what you mean here, Madden 07, 08 were said to look better on the 360 and Madden 09 is one of the first games that looks just as good on both systems


5. its almost louder then my fuckin computer

This is thanks to the crappy DVD drive, now games can be downloaded to the hard drive and there is almost no noise...anyway when it did run off the disc it was close to the noise of the PS3 but a higher pitch



The graphics?
:puke:

as I've posted in other threads in MOST games that are on both systems the 360 wins out as it has a better performing graphics card that uses anti-ailising better. Less jaggies, and in general the 360 has higher resolution textures.


The console interface?
its aight...if i remeber right there was'nt a switch to turn the 360 completely off..that fuckin thing u had to plug the 360 into then that gets pluged into a outlet pissed me off...and the fuckin light was ALWAYS on

that big button in the middle of the 360...yup it turns it off with one press. You will note that the PS3 keeps lights on as well when it's off.


The online community?
honestly, i didnt like it...i remember reading a 360/ps3 comparison before i bought my ps3 and some argued that the 360s choices of avatars is better the ps3s and that pretty much won him over??? :die: i could care less about my fuckin avatar

It has a better community simply because it is a pay community: more upkeep is done on it, less disconnects, more features, more downloads, and more people. The new avatars are lame IMO too much like nintendo Miis


The game selection?
only thing 360 has goin for it..i want left 4 dead dammi!! :cussing:

The price?

[/quote]
well at least you answered my questions...consider your opinion counted.

[Shreds_of_Flesh]

They didnt release the Dualshock 3 till later

[Rust In Peace]

Hmmmmm I'm not going to outright say 360 fucking blows. I have one and like it, but if I had to choose the better system between it and the PS3 as the better system, I'd go with the PS3. For graphics, I've seen both being played on an HDTV and thought the PS3 looked MUCH nicer and sharper.

Game wise PS3 got fucked over when too many publishers jumped ship and ruined their exclusives (fuck you SquareEnix) BUT I've noticed publishers on the 360 have jumped ship as well, we now have Bioshock on the PS3 which is one HELL of a game. Then theres Gears Of War, Epic has already said 3 will be on the PS3, and some people think its a waste because they can't put 1 and 2 on the system because of the contract. I think I know how they will get around this though, I think they'll combine 1 and 2 into 1 game and add some extra feature and maybe some levels and release that on the PS3, because after all 1 and 2 werent that long, I JUST finished 2 after only playing it for 2 days.

The 360's online MAY have more members, but the fact that PS3's online is FREE to me is a big "Fuck You!" to Live. Which Live shouldnt be so damn much for 1 year, sure its less than a few bucks a month, but honestly I hate that I'll have to pay $50 each year, it would be MUCH less of a pain in the ass if it was at least around $20 a year.

As I've said before in other threads I only own a 360, but I REALLY want to buy a PS3, but can't afford it right now. But the fact that Resident Evil 5 is coming out in march will put a fire under my ass to get a PS3. Because to me the RE franchise is a Playstation franchise, sure it was on the nintendo for a while, but most of the series was released on Playstation platforms. So I'd like to go and pre-order RE5 for the PS3 already, but I'm not sure if I'll have one by then. Then again my birthday is 4 days before Resident Evil 5's release.

[strtfghtr]

just remember MOST multi-platform games are developed on the 360 and ported to the PS3...

On a side note I have a copy of the Japanese RE5 demo for the 360 and it is sweet, controls just like RE4, but since playing Dead Space the controls seem sluggish and mechanical.

Side-Side note RE: Code veronica was originally released on the Dreamcast, the original RE was also released on the Sega Saturn, and RE4 was originally released on the Gamecube. RE:0 was ONLY released on the Gamecube (Not to mention re-releases of RE2, RE3, RE:CV), also RE: Umbrella chronicals was Wii exclusive.

Infact now that I think about it the only Playstaion exclusive RE games are those shitty light-gun games.

[3/6]

my ps3 came with a dualshock controller

and when u flip the switch on the back of the ps3, the system completely turns off...no red light or anything :D

[Revenant]

You can argue all you want about which console you prefer, but it doesn't change the stats, the ps3 has been a disappointment so far overall to consumers, and that's how you win the console war, buy selling consoles. you can sit here and trash talk every console until your blue in the face but sony hasn't gotten it done one way or another. The PS3 has yet to really find it's place in this generation.

[Shreds_of_Flesh]

:thumbsdown:

[GruesomeDuece]

I like the games for the 360, but at the end of the day it's a ticking fucking time bomb. My friend's elite died (After he downloaded the NXE he got some video error), and instead of getting it fixed, he buys an arcade model and puts his old hard drive on there. I'm sure people simply rebuying the system after theirs died has a lot to do with those numbers for M$.

Most of my friends now have a PS3. I got mine a few days before x-mas and my 360 hasn't been turned on since then. Don't get me wrong, I love XBL, but when it's all said and done, you can't have a stellar online service and a piss-poor console.

[C.H.U.D.]

As an owner of a 360, and having plenty of time with the Wii and PS3, I'd have to say the 360 is my choice for best console. The 360 exclusives, the price, and xbox live sealed the deal for me.

Bluray is meaningless to me right now. I don't have the funds to now convert my 600+ DVD collection to bluray while shelling out $20/$30 per bluray disc. The price of the PS3 is more then the 360 and I really haven't seen ANY advantages it has over the 360 outside of bluray (which I already mentioned is pointless to me) and a couple exclusive titles like Metal Gear and God Of War.

The Wii has been (so far) a gimmick and nothing more. It was awesome when it first launched, but now the software market for the Wii has been nothing but "shovelware" mini-game collections and the like. Doesn't matter how cool the motion control is if there aren't any decent games to play. Until Nintendo gets off its ass and quits rehashing Mario Party games and shitty Mario sports games...it's only going to get worse.

[GruesomeDuece]

The only solution is to have all 3. That way you don't have to argue.

:spit: Haha that's a must own shirt. But still it's true that the 360's sales are half of people not sending them in and just buying new systems after they get the RROD. Also half my friends who have snet theirs in due to the RROD haven't got their system back yet, so they said fuck it and suprise, bought a new system. There should be no excuse for that up here since Microsofts head ofice is up here in Washington. So if mine gets the RROD I'm nt going to fuck around and send it in, I'm driving up to redmond and making sure it 1. gets fixed and 2. I get it back.

This drives me up a wall when people say this

You do realize that $50 a year breaks down to $4.17 a month right?

Is it really that horrible to ask for $4 a month for your service to work properly and not require u to download 5 firmware updates a month due to constant problems?

[strtfghtr]

[Nigbo]

:lol: i agree, thats why i never brought up the free psn to 360s 4$ a month live in my argument.

I know, by no means am I a fan boy, ive owned every system period since super nintendo and every system since launch since ive been able to buy my own video games

with that said, hate any system or all 3, everyone has an opinion. But to use $50 a year tag on xbox l ive to discredit it is horribly stupid and just drives me crazy. Lets say at the TIME u cant even afford the $50 a month membership.

You can do the easy $7 a month membership. If you cant find 7 dollars SOMEPLACE to pay for xbox for a month, I have to ask how people got a console to begin with

[slasherman]

ps3 all the way, i've had mine for close to six months now and i've never had a single problem with it, my girlfriend has had her 360 for three months and its been nothing but problems. it says disc read error on everything including games that were 10 minutes old. left 4 dead is bad ass but definitely not worth the trouble.

[strtfghtr]

sounds like your girlfriend has a defective drive, there are repairs you can do at home, check out the videos on youtube for "360 dvd drive repair"

Or you can send it in and they will repair it for you.

[slasherman]

sweet, im going to have to look into that. i was pissed i bought fable 2 and haven't been able to play it yet. i'll definitely search youtube. thanks for the heads up.

[strtfghtr]

no problem, I had a similar issue, it's these crappy toshiba drives they use in the 360. I suggest installing any game you play a lot to the hard drive if you have the space.

[Darkgod]

man alot of 360 hate. Whats gonna happen when sony pulls out of the video game console fight and doesnt make then next gen system?

[Shreds_of_Flesh]

Then were doomed.

[Darkgod]

Doomed with great games on the 360.... and mind you I dont hate the pse, I plan on purchasing one in the near future to use as a bluray player, and for the exclusive games on PS3... mainly MGS, Resistance, and Little Big Planet.

[UzumakiW]

man alot of 360 hate. Whats gonna happen when sony pulls out of the video game console fight and doesnt make then next gen system?

I don't see that happening, really.

[Kabon]

i own all three systems and i do like my 360 the best. but to claim which one is the top console is impossible cause everyone has their own preferences. IMO the only good thing that came out exclusively for the ps3 in 08 was metal gear. Resistance 2 was decent at best, and i didnt see the big deal about Little Big Planet.

[GruesomeDuece]

man alot of 360 hate. Whats gonna happen when sony pulls out of the video game console fight and doesnt make then next gen system?

If the inferior system wins out then obviously Adam Smith was wrong about the whole market/competition thing.

I mean seriously, my 360 sounds like a lawnmower whenever i turn it on. I can't play for more than an hour or it grinds to a halt and gives me a disc read error. The lazers scratch the disc. I'm tired of always wondering when it's gonna go out.

Yes it's got great games, but so does the PS3. Oh, and it's got Blu-Ray.

When Microsoft puts out the next system, I hope to hell they put out something quality.

[Darkgod]

You obviously have a messed up system then. I've had mine over a year, and have not had one problem. This is my first Microsoft system, I was a sony fan boy before, but to call it inferior is dumb. How many exclusive games for xbox and and how mnay for sony are great games. The xbox beats it hands down. As a media player then sony wins hands down.

[Darkgod]

Left 4 dead, Gears of War 2, Halo Wars , Too Human, Fables 2, Ninja Gaiden2 , Alan wake, the mass effect series, gta4 extended content, vs. the Ps3 having Resistace, MGS,Little big planet and God of war. Bioshock almost a year before it sees a PS3 release. Not to mention most of sonys titles are jumping to both (Final Fanyasy being the big one).

ONce again, I am not knocing a ps3, I want one. But stop hating on the 360 and acting like the PS3 is a better gaming console, cause its not. Its a better media player but pales in coparison when it comes to games.

[3/6]

halo blows gods for quarters


only game u mentiond that i care for is Left 4 Dead..the rest can blow me

[Shreds_of_Flesh]

God of War and LittleBigPlanet combined are better than all the ones that you listed, maybe not Left4Dead but I can easily get that for PC. 360 is cool BUT the PS3 is the better gaming console by a longshot, even the Wii is better. Super Smash Bros pretty much pwns anything.

[Lemmywinks]

How about who gives two shits and enjoy whatever the fuck system you have?So on another note that poster was funny as hell 3/6.

[strtfghtr]

funny..myself and almost everyone else that owns both the PS3 and the 360 all agree the 360 is the better game machine and the PS3 is the better media player.

If you own a PS3 for video games alone, you are missing out on some great titles, and for the game that are on both systems, MOST games are designed for the 360 and ported to the PS3 which means faster frame rates, less glitches, and for some reason I don't know higher resolution for textures. Then the there's the online aspect...360s blows the PS3s out of the water, hands down. Of course it's a pay service so that is no surprise.

This entire topic was meant to be based on sale numbers...saying that the PS3 SHOULD have stomped the 360 this year because of the Bluray victory, but it didn't.

On a side note I read an interview with a Microsft rep that said they expect this generation of systems to last longer that a couple years, perhaps not see a new xbox or PS emerge till 2012 or 2013.

The original xbox lasted from 2001 to 2005, 4 years.
The 360 came out in 05, now it's 09...4 years already and no end in immediate sight.

[3/6]

:negative:

[Revenant]

just throwing it out there, instead of all pounding our respective gaming chests like pubescent man children..couldn't we all just play the console we like and prefer. Personally I prefer the xbox 360, doesn't mean I hate the ps3 and I actually have considered buying one when the price is right. eesh It's a game console, not a way of life.

[Shreds_of_Flesh]

Buncha damn n00bz

[3/6]

ps3 :rocker:

[Lemmywinks]

I say a prayer and always clean my Xbox 360 before playing it.No red rings yet. I put a tiny cooling fan behind the vent that seems to work.My friends prefer PS3's because you dont have to worry as much about overheating. I prefer Xbox 360 because better choice of games.I keep making redundant posts here because all the pissing and moaning about whats better is great entertainment.

[Darkgod]

God of War and LittleBigPlanet combined are better than all the ones that you listed, maybe not Left4Dead but I can easily get that for PC. 360 is cool BUT the PS3 is the better gaming console by a longshot, even the Wii is better. Super Smash Bros pretty much pwns anything.

Obviously you never played Mass Effect.... cause that pwns everything on the 360 list.

[Shreds_of_Flesh]

Obviously you never played Mass Effect.... cause that pwns everything on the 360 list.

You know...I've been wanting to play that game :D

[Darkgod]

It would be easy after you play all 4 games on the Ps3.

[Shreds_of_Flesh]

all 4 games.....more like 30 games :D

[Darkgod]

sorry 4 good exclusive games.

[3/6]

360 only has 1...left 4 dead :rocker:

f the rest

:takeleak:halo

[Darkgod]

And you obviously didn't play any of those other games.

[Lemmywinks]

Although Gears of War one and two are short they are a shitload of fun.And only available on Xbox 360:bigthumbup:

[Shreds_of_Flesh]

Yeah Gears is badass

[GruesomeDuece]

You obviously have a messed up system then. I've had mine over a year, and have not had one problem. This is my first Microsoft system, I was a sony fan boy before, but to call it inferior is dumb. How many exclusive games for xbox and and how mnay for sony are great games. The xbox beats it hands down. As a media player then sony wins hands down.

My group of friends all have owned a 360. There are 9 of us. I am the only one left that has their original one, and it's on it's last leg. They have been plagued with problems since day one. Who gives a crap if you have the best game in the world when your hardware is MIA for a month to get fixed? Or you put it in just to see the RROD? Yes, right now the 360 catalogue is slighly more impressive, but it also had a year head start. In that year, M$ could have tweaked a few things and actually released a solid piece of hardware, but they didn't.

if you compare everything else other than catalogue, the PS3 is clearly superior all around machine.

[steelba]

All i'm gonna say is your a raving idiot if you don't think the majority of 360's are failure prone. Microsoft didn't set aside $1,000,000,000 for repair and replacment expenses because it had low failure rates :straightface:

Say whatever you want but those are the facts :starefreak:

[3/6]

werd

[LordofDarkness]

Got both systems. I like PS3 better. 360 has a lot of problems, regardless of how many great exclusives it may have. Doesn't really matter anyways, people will like whatever they want. Not a big deal.

[jessflix]

PS3... Hands down.

[Lemmywinks]

Hell its always in the back of my mind that something may happen. Im well aware of the red rings but I also hear about the blue screen of death. You'll be playing a game,no red rings but your screen goes blue leading to you're fucked.Not to mention the system makes some pretty funky noises.

[3/6]

ps3 as less problems then the peice of crap 3shitty

Sony didn't set aside $1,000,000,000 for repair and replacement...infact the didn't set aside anything, so when your 1 year warranty is up...the end, the 360 has extended its warranty to 3 years.

All systems have problems, the xbox's are worse than many but at least M$ covered their own butts with wads and wads of cash. Where was Sony when my little brothers PS2 broke 3 times costing him $30 in shipping each time?

All i'm gonna say is you're all freakin nuts to argue this shit to the death. The Xbox 360 has tons of hardware issues, no doubt about it, i'm on number 3 myself after the other two crapped out, however the PS3 has had trouble moving software, as Good ad Little Big Planet is supposed to be it didn't move as many units as most expected, the Wii is the current leader, with a few very good games, but tons of shovelware and shit games as well, in fact Someone released a report that showed 1 in every 4 Wii games they reviewed had a score below 5. So pick your prize or poison, however you want to look at it.

[txjeff07]

Even though my PS3 is about to be serviced I still vote for PS3 as my fav system but I'll be playing my Wii more for the next couple weeks

Nice indeed, too bad I'm gonna need a Japanese 360 for that

[Luris Blear]

I love my Wii.

I always feel the need to laugh that it's outselling the PS3 and 360 as well.

I'm playing to have fun. The Playstation and PS2 started developing this habit wherein a person needed a PhD in their chosen game just to reach the end of it. I was really missing the pick-up-and-go style of gaming that used to be around before that.

I don't begrudge anyone their system of choice. It's all about what leaves me feeling more relaxed and happier at the end of play time.

Maybe the innovation of the Wii. Having remotes that correspond to your actions is a great idea.Only real problems I hear with the Wii is people not using the wrist cord so they dont end up breaking something.That or overheating.

[Shreds_of_Flesh]

Wii rules. The VC, good games, VC, it rules

[Lemmywinks]

I still love my xbox 360,no Gears of War on Wii.

[C.H.U.D.]

Your comment got me interested. I always knew that the Wii has been a shovelware machine like no other...but I decided to do a little research. I went to ign.com and looked at reviews for both the Wii and the Xbox360. The criteria that I searched for were reviews that had a score of 3/10 or less for both consoles.

Wii - 97 reviews
360 - 31 reviews

:nod:

...how much longer has the 360 been out for over the Wii anyway? Isn't it like a year or so???

[GruesomeDuece]

A majority of the Wii's line up is a bunch of shit titles that cost next to nothing to make and distribute, all to cash in on the motion-senstive control scheme. Then they put Wii-Motes bundled with them (which are already marked up extremely higher) and they sell like hot cakes. The fact that Wii-Play has sold (as is selling) so many copies proves it right there. That was one of the most un-fun games I've ever played, yet it can't be stopped.

[Shreds_of_Flesh]

People are buying it mostly for the controllers

[Luris Blear]

Yeah. Wii Play and Wii Fit are bundled with extra controllers -- which is a HUGE part of the appeal.

I think another part of the problem is that the HARDCORE GAMAR D00DZ aren't digging around enough in the library. I will say again that RE:4 Wii Edition is absolutely the most fun I have ever had with a survival horror game.

Sports games requiring players to get off their asses are a lot more fun than pushing your thumb to the left while pressing Left Shoulder Button 2 + Trapezoid + X. Just throw the damned ball already.

Some ports suck. I'm not fond of Marvel Ultimate Alliance's kludgey control scheme on the Wii, and the PS2 is more fun.

Lego Batman, alternately, made sense by using the WiiMote to aim your Batarangs.

What the Wii really doesn't have are twitchy Wolfenstein 3-D clones. And that's fine with me.

[Shreds_of_Flesh]

HARDCORE GAMAR D00DZ

:mhehe:

Even these hardcore n00bz don't even know about the Ultimate Shooting Collection which came out today, the most hardcore game to buy for the Wii right now :D

[strtfghtr]

There are some gems in the wii catalog.

The first DBZ game I thought was awesome, it's motion controls made perfect sense and there's nothing better than fighting your buddy and whipping a kamehameha on his ass by throwing your hands in his face and screaming KAMEHAMEHA!.

Though some games (like marvel ultimate alliance) are better off not using motion controls...I use either the Gamecube controller or the "Classic" controller.

[Lemmywinks]

I still prefer my 360 it still lives.:bigthumbup:The Wii is innovative but its library sucks. Takes more then the control to keep me interested.

Fuck the PS3. I have purchased 3 XBOX 360's since they came out originally an have not had an issue with any of them. Theres a reason that the Per Game Average on the PS3 is 3 and the average on the the XBOX 360 is 7.5. Im not saying their aren't good games on the PS3. I want to play Heavenly Sword, God of War, and Uncharted, but there is no way im dropping the coin for a ps3 with a shitty and soon to be vaporware online community. And MGS4, don't even get me started with that bullshit. I don't care what anyone says, 4.5 hours of actual gameplay and 5 hours of cutscenes. Kiss my ass! That is not worth buying a system for. And LittleBigPlanet...lol... wow. I just have no interest in that at all, and to think, according to nearly all of the Game Magazine and Video Game websites, thats the best thing the PS3 has to offer. Theres no wonder it barely sells more than the PS2. Anyway.... Even talking about the PS3 is boring. 360 OWNS!

[strtfghtr]

don't hold back DJ tell us how you really feel :mhehe:

[C.H.U.D.]

I'm by no means a 360 "fanboy". In fact, I was loyal to Sony since the PS1. However, I think the 360 trumps the Wii and PS3 by far. From price point, online play, exclusive games, exclusive content, etc.

There's some great games for all systems, don't get me wrong. I just think the PS3 is overpriced for what you get. And I think the Wii is a shovelware machine cashing in on motion controls and a damned fitness game for the "casual" gamers (as many like to refer to).

Sure, "we" gotta deal with the Red Ring Of Death...but I've never had the dreaded ring yet. So...that's kinda a moot point in my opinion. I'd go as far as saying that I'd rather pay for 2 Xbox360 consoles then a single Wii or PS3 console.

Can't wait for the PC/360 exclusive downloadable content for Fallout 3!!!

Say what you want about the graphics, the online community and the party system on Halo 3 are pinnacle of what online FPSs should be. I'm not saying the game is the be-all-end-all, but that did do some things right.

Now if Halo was on a system that didn't have a failure rate of 50-60 percent, then it'd have something more going for it.

[Lemmywinks]

I love my shouldnt have got doesn't have the neatest shit arcade version xbox 360. And it still hasn't blown up on me.Cleaning it out after ten hours of play and having a small fan behind it works too. It still has the better game selection hands down.

[strtfghtr]

halo sux, call of duty is way better, so is left 4 dead and gears of war 2.

[Lemmywinks]

I never really liked Halo so win win for me. Gears of War on the other hand brilliant though too damn short. Left 4 Dead is the shit as well.

[C.H.U.D.]

Just like any game, Halo is a preferred taste. What I like about it is the strategy. It's not simply a "find the biggest weapon and shoot everything" online shooter.

[Shreds_of_Flesh]

F HALO

[strtfghtr]

Halo is much too "Slow" to compare to the newer shooters, the entire strategy involved is finding glitches that make killing an opponent easier. The Graphics are lacking compared to other FPSs, the weapons are garbage, the grenades have no basis in reality (they are not timed from when you throw, they are timed from when they land) and the story got too preachy after about 1/2 way through Halo 2.

One good thing came out of Halo..."stickies"

[C.H.U.D.]

Man, what's with the Halo haters on this forum? I'll led Shreds slide just because he's also a fan of Raiden...but the rest of you are DEAD! mwahahahaha!

[C.H.U.D.]

FYI, are any of you as excited as I am for the new Splatterhouse game???? Gonna be fucking sweeeeeeeet!!!

[Shreds_of_Flesh]

Never knew you were a fan of Raiden :coolbeer:

Also, the new Splatterhouse game is gonna rule. They're gonna be showing some stuff at the New York Comic Con :rockin:

[dj_casinova]

I don't care what any of you haters say, Halo is still the 2nd biggest entertainment release in history. Only behind GTA 4, which was terrible and boring, but Halo was an exclusive, so I'm thinking that's impresive. Anyway... IMO Call of Duty was boring as hell. Im not a fan of reality oriented games. I live in reality and it sux, lol. Give me sci-fi, fantasy, and extreme violence. I'd play halo over Call of Duty any day. But, if I had my choice, it would be Gears.

I fail to see how sales make a game good...by that logic Titanic must be one incredible movie since it made so much money. You really can't argue with my assesment of Halo...it's pretty much all true, sure you can argue the story element but I think most can agree.

Splatterhouse looks sweet...makes me want to break out the genesis and play em all over again!

- Being a bit slower takes more strategy. There's plenty of times when it gets frantic as well. It's not a twitchfest like some FPS games, but that's part of what makes it so great in my opinion.

- I've never heard of these so called "glitches". I've always won games with my skills. The "glitches" sound like something a noob would say...just like when people would call me a "hacker" for mopping the floor with their asses in Counter Strike.

- The weapons are BALANCED. The only weapon I'd say is garbage would be the flamethrower (which is BARELY available in multiplayer), and the pistol (which sadly, they toned down since Halo 1). What I love about the weapons is that there's no single weapon that's soley a game winner due to the strategy people employ to deal with rocket happy or snipe happy fools. Again, this varies with skill.

- The graphics are lacking compared to what? Brand new games? They aren't the greatest, but the gameplay MORE then makes up for it.

- The grenades have no basis in reality because Halo isn't grounded in reality. In case you didn't know, there's aliens and monsters in the game too. That's like complaining that the mortar in Gears Of War 2 is way too accurate compared to a real mortar.

You guys are correct that large amounts of sales don't make a good game. However, when 1.5 million matches are played online in a 24 hour time span for Halo 3 (this stat brought to you by Bungie), I think that speaks for itself how remarkable Halo 3 is. People don't play shitty games on purpose do they? Nevermind the fact that the game has been out for OVER a year now and that many people are still logging on.

So yeah, I guess Halo "sux". :lol:

- Being a bit slower takes more strategy. There's plenty of times when it gets frantic as well. It's not a twitchfest like some FPS games, but that's part of what makes it so great in my opinion.

no it's slow as in he pace of the game is slow, and so called "twitch fests" require faser reaction time and reflexes


- I've never heard of these so called "glitches". I've always won games with my skills. The "glitches" sound like something a noob would say...just like when people would call me a "hacker" for mopping the floor with their asses in Counter Strike.

if you don't know about Halo's "glitch kills/battle techniques" you havent played very much


- The weapons are BALANCED. The only weapon I'd say is garbage would be the flamethrower (which is BARELY available in multiplayer), and the pistol (which sadly, they toned down since Halo 1). What I love about the weapons is that there's no single weapon that's soley a game winner due to the strategy people employ to deal with rocket happy or snipe happy fools. Again, this varies with skill.

Plasma gun sucks ass in this game...way under powered from what it was, like you said the pistol is practically useless, the needler is only good in combination with another weapon, heck even the grenades are less powered in Halo 3 and it is difficult to get a kill from grenade placement. There are 1/2 the weapons in Dead Rising and I like them all better than Halo 3's


- The graphics are lacking compared to what? Brand new games? They aren't the greatest, but the gameplay MORE then makes up for it.

compared to contemporary FPS games...they do not cut the mustard with their hazzy jaggie character models


- The grenades have no basis in reality because Halo isn't grounded in reality. In case you didn't know, there's aliens and monsters in the game too. That's like complaining that the mortar in Gears Of War 2 is way too accurate compared to a real mortar.

No imagine if you "pulled the trigger on a shotgun" and it fired 5 seconds later...same thing as throwing a grenade without the pin and not having it based on timing, but when it lands

My point is that if Halo 3 really is such a bad game like you put it, then why would over a million and a half people log on and play it online EVERY SINGLE day? So you don't like the game and it's not your style, that's fine. However, it's not a "sub par" (like you put it) FPS by any means.

Most of your gripes are based on the fact that you simply hate the game. I've never heard anybody complain about the graphics for example. Or the weapons...which are one of the best parts of the game according to many players.

Oh and by the way, next time you tell me that I must not have much experience playing the game...don't later make a point that the Needler sucks unless with another weapon (you cannot duel wield the needler! but I'm sure you knew that...).

oh yeah i forgot they changed it from halo 2...back when i lost interest in the game. I played Halo 3 for a month...havent put it back in since.

again because a game is popular does not make it good or better than another game...a trillion people can play a game doesn't mean its good

[slimeisacharacter]

Halo's popularity is similar to World of Warcraft's popularity, in my eyes. A simple, straight forward game that does not require much in the way of thought to play. A game that is idiot proof and easy to pick up and play, if you will. A good example of this is teaching my 6 yr old niece the basics of playing and watching her clear most of the first Halo's single player game by herself. *shrug*

The only real question is: Do you enjoy idiot proof gameplay or enjoy games that make you think, even a little bit?

I have nothing against the Halo series, had some fun time play Co-Op with my roommates. But I'll take a game that requires a bit of thought over it in just about every situation.

and just because some dude on an internet forum doesn't like a game doesn't mean it's sub-par either. Do you want them to slap a big sticker on all copies of the halo series that says "mediocre" or something. It's all taste. if it's not your cup of tea thats fine, but respect that fact that for a lot of people, it's a fun game.

Personally, I myself also like Halo 3, I think it's a fairly fun game. in fact as of recent its been my multiplayer game of choice. Sure it's not perfect, it has flaws, but all games do. Besides it's not like Halo 3 is the only choice for a console shooter. you also got Gears of War 2 and COD4, Resistance 2, Killzone 2, etc. so what's the point in criticizing CHUD for his game of choice when you can be off playing your own.

And looks like the original Splatterhouse is going to be included as an extra!

The song in the trailer sounded like Raining Blood at first.
Namco may have just royally screwed over the Splatterhouse developers: source (http://kotaku.com/5148824/rumor-namco-yanks-splatterhouse-from-bottlerocket)

Damn that sucks :itsok:

Oh well though, the series was pretty much made by Namco :rocker:

Ya know, you're right. When Halo 3 recorded over 50 million matches played online it's because all those people were forced to keep playing a "broken" and "sub par" game. They didn't have any type of choice, and were threatened by Bungie and Microsoft. If they didn't continue to keep playing Halo 3, their family would be murdered by Bungie ninjas.

When 2.4 million people logged onto Live and played over the last 24 hours, it's because they like shitty games.

:lol:

[Rust In Peace]

Well to be on topic, I say 360 is out of the runing for best system IMO because of the high failure rate, there is absolutely NO excuse for that. Hoping your 360 wont RRoD on you is like hoping an ice sculpture wont melt in 95 degree weather, eventually it will happen. I honestly do not know anyone who has bought a 360 and it has not RRoD on them. Fuck mine did it again, so if I cant fix it I'm going to video tape me smashing it to tiny bits and send the video to microsoft.
So once again IMO, PS3 is best, its reliable and it's going to go down in price again. I'm just pissed I'm so far in Fallout 3, so I HAVE to fix my 360 or get a new one.

As for Halo, the game is really lame, its a no thrills nothing new FPS, I hope Wolfenstein or DOOM comes back to whoop Halo's ass and show it who's daddy.

As for the Wii, I see it as a kids toy, too much shovelware on it and not enough quality titles, I can think of maybe 4 games tops I'd want for it.

But so theres no pointless bickering, this is my opinion and I hold to it.

if everyone jumps off a bridge...


Play a newer FPS game...go ahead COD4, GOW 1 or 2, Killzone 2, Dead Rising, Unreal Tourny 3....heck any of them will make Halo 3 feel like walking in 6 inches of molasses.

Guitar Hero World Tour outsold Rock Band 2 almost 2 to 1...by your logic it must be the better game, despite the overwhelming majority of review mags and sites declaring RB 2 the better package and the over 500 songs available for play versus GHWT's 100...but more people play it so it must be better....

Paul Blart: Mall Cop is up to $97 Mill in 4 weeks, Slumdog Millionare is still at $77 Mill after 13 weeks...Paul Blart must be way better than that stupid Oscar nominated flick according to your theories

Popularity does not a good game make.

For the record Halo 3 isnt terrible...but it was a huge letdown for me and couldnt match the fun i could have with other FPS games...especially after the "new game" fun wore off

Hey, don't start bashing Paul Blart. I liked it. And Oscar nominations mean nothing to me! :mhehe:

Halo 3 was a huge letdown for YOU...YOU!! It's slower then most of the rest of those games because it's supposed to be. COD 4, UT3 and KZ2 are all twitch shooters, GOW is a whole different ball game entirely, and Dead Rising? comparing to halo? what?

Do you understand that while you don't like Halo 3, and that's fine by all means, the 300,000 + people I saw in matchmaking throughout the week this week might like, shockingly, play the game because they find it fun? Or should we all play what you play because you deem it good for the rest of the gaming community..is it lonely up there on your pedestal of gaming greatness?:dsp:

For the record, I own Call Of Duty and Gears 2. Dead Rising isn't a FPS last time I checked, and Killzone 2 isn't even out yet. :lol:

You still don't understand my point however. My point being that Halo 3 isn't a sub-par FPS. Like I said before, it may not be your cup of tea, but it's hardly sub-par in the FPS genre.

Halo 3 has sold over 10 million copies worldwide, averaged a 9.3/10 review score from over 89 various gaming critics, registered well over 100 MILLION games played on Live, has been nominated and/or won NUMEROUS game of the year awards, etc. As of right now (12:10AM Pacific Time), there are over 60,000 people playing online. It's Monday morning and between the hours of 12-3AM (depending on where you are in the states) AND there's still that many people playing it.

Name a single other game that can boast all of that, but in reality is a "sub-par" game.

Your movie analogy is like apples to oranges by the way. It really doesn't hold any weight. What if I told you that The Godfather was a below average film? Any movie aficionado would tell me that I'm smoking crack. Its won Oscars and is generally regarded as one of the best films of all time.

Realistically, I'm not trying to change your opinion of Halo 3. All I'm saying is that while it may not be your cup of tea, it's definitely not a below average game. The stats DO prove that.

Jasper chipset

As of October 2008, a new motherboard configuration called "Jasper," which uses a 65nm CPU and a 65nm GPU, is used in the newer manufactured Xbox 360 models. Because this new motherboard configuration is said to produce less heat, it might have a positive effect on the failure rate. The "Jasper" consoles require less power to run. They come with a 150W power brick that has a redesigned plug that will only plug into Jasper consoles. However, some early Jasper packages shipped with 175W power bricks, apparently left over from the Falcon boards. The Jasper console's power connector accepts any of the three Xbox 360 power bricks (203W, 175W, and 150W) while the redesigned brick is incompatible with older consoles. It has been noted that Arcade packages with Jasper motherboards have 256 MB built in flash memory instead of the 16 MB memory from previous models, which many people believe is for the installation of the New Xbox Experience. The remaining space can also be used to save games and other content. Premium consoles using the Jasper motherboard do not appear to contain this upgraded flash memory. Exact figures on any drop in the failure rate are not available, however.[citation needed]

Jasper boards can be identified by their power rating, as they use 12.1 amps on the 12 volt line. Falcon boards used 14.2 amps and original Xenon and Zephyr boards used 16.5 amps. The amp rating can be found on the label on the back of the console and is a good way to identify a Jasper before you buy it. The ".1A" from "12.1A" may be visible through the packaging cutout on a new console without opening the box, identifying if the console is indeed a Jasper or not.

yeah i messed that one up I meant Left 4 Dead not Dead Rising.

Killzone 2 demo is out now on PSN. In fact you posted in that thread.

There are better FPS games than Halo 3.

Go ahead keep proving how popular it is, there is no game that does as well as Halo 3, it is probably the most popular game there is at the moment.

I tire of this argument...you win Halo 3 is not a subpar FPS it is the best game ever because everyone in the world is playing it at the same time and it has the best controls, graphics, and interface.

Back to the topic, even the new 360s have problems, most come from the DVD drive (which is not covered by the 3 year warrenty). Though as of recently the PS3s bluray drive has shown some trouble as well.
