Six things that suck about the Xbox 360, Wii and PS3

People haven't get realized each of the next...errr...current generation consoles. In this story the consoles are compared and offer a unique insight into the pros and cons of each console. The pros are easy to write about, as all three consoles have a lot going for them, so in this post there practically all negative things on each consoles and focus on six things that suck about each one. These are presented in no particular order, there is not top six, or anything like that at all.

Read on...

[stunt213]

very nice i like

[TriggerHappy]

Although regardless of how accurate this is. there will always be other reasons that each "Fanboy" will bring up to make their system better.

I expect this to turn into a comparison btn X360 and PS3 quick...

[okcomputer]

But doesn't every post eventually turn into fanboy comparisons of the 360 and ps3?

[TriggerHappy]

They do but with this post, the wii is mentioned as well but how many people are going to talk about it ?

[unsunghero28]

[The glass of water on my desk begins to shake]

RUN AWAY RUN AWAY THE FANBOYS ARE COMING...

[SWORDF1SH]

lol (puts on a robin williams jumunga style voice) STAAAAAAAMMMMMMMPPPEEEEDDDEEEE E

[ilovepswii60]

sigh get the popcorn out agen

[Fisher339]

Many of the points were true, all 3 systems had there flaws pointed out.

[akaFullMetal]

true that all three have their flaws, but the flaws of the ps3 i think are really grasping at straws, not having a usb in the back is one???? come on thats a joke!! but he is right about the games and ports, but that is the only thing i see really wrong, and the price being to expensive for some, but if you count all the stuff thats packed in it, it really is worth it. but that will never ever make sense to a xbox fanboy, til the ps3 is cheaper, and then and just then, they might think the ps3 is worth its price

[SWORDF1SH]

at last someone who has something negative to say about all the consoles. i was sure i had a usb port in the back of my ps3 until he pointed it out and i had to check mine only to realise he was right. the original design had a usb port in the back. why did sony scrap this. surly it wouldnt of cost much to add a cheap usb port in the back.

[Bloodmask]

All three consoles obviously have their weak points.

I think price is one of the most important factors to consumers. With the PS3 price drop increasing sales.

Not to mention the Wii has been in the lead for sales ever since it launched at the $250 price point.

[MarioFromTexas]

1 games their coming this month
2 rumble is coming next month
3 price drop coming
4 headset with warhawk coming Aug28
5 Multi ports are starting to look the same or better
6 Blu ray is starting to show it's true colors

All those things are getting fix and are due because the console has only been out for 8 months, the other consoles are hardware design and marketing flaws.

360 you can't fix the core SKU
games will never be able to use the HDDVD drive
M$ is not adding wifi
You can't get rid of the power brick

those are flaws that can't be fix with the current hardware. All I stated were facts and I know I'm going to get flame but I haven't said anything negative, just facts.

Nintendo- is like the "funny kid" who sits in the front of class waiving his arms trying to be funny to be accepted.

Microsoft- is like the "cool guy" who is crazy popular in high school but never ammounted to anything and ends up homeless.

Sony- is like the kid at the back of class who doesn`t say much, but pays attention constantly and ends up a "success" when everyone else just thought he was "weird"

Anego.

[unsunghero28]

Nintendo is like the teacher of the class.

Sony is like the rich kid that comes in and succeeds in school because he has loads of cash and fancy stuff.

And Microsoft is ALSO like the rich kid that comes in and succeeds in school because he has loads of cash and fancy stuff.

[hyphymaniac]

okay i know this is off topic but everytime i try to go online with halo 2 it says that the maps i have are damaged...does anybody know why i dowloaded them about 5 times so can someone please help! thank you

[Anego Montoya FTMFW]

everything MS touches doesnt work.

kinda like an anti-Midas. j/k

couldn`t resist.

goodluck w/ your problem, can`t help ya.

[i Shank u]

just got my 360 back from repair, went to play halo 2 and same thing happened to me. after redownloading the new maps 3 times and it not working, i redownloaded all the older map packs once and it worked fine. frustrating as hell.
@ Anego Montoya - your a tard fanboy. SONY just went through a massive recall on exploding batteries, and you say everything MS touches is bad, right? smells like a fanturd

[Anego Montoya FTMFW]

"just got my 360 back from repair"

kool.

dude, i`ve been ther done that.
and to keep going thru that your a MASSIVE FANBOY.

good luck w/ that.

[i Shank u]

youve been there done that? i dont believe that. the fact that you're on the internet talkin crap about 360 says, at least to me, that you dont have one. if you do have one, wtf do you have it for if you dont like it so much? i had a launch 360 for a year and a half, then it broke. this is my first time getting it fixed. i was pissed off as fvck about it and i let MS know i was pissed; i dont like their policies.what are you gonna do if your PS3 breaks, get called a massive fanboy cause you get it fixed? im a fan of videogames, microsoft can suck it for all i care
see kid, i buy the systems, and ill be getting a PS3 when i can afford it, to play games. not to play internet games about which system is better and why and blahblahblah.

[Anego Montoya FTMFW]

i HAD a 360 it broke(2).

my Gamertag was :sunnihalo

so your not playing INTERNET games?

why do you have a profile then?

you can`t argue w/ me, because me like you were impatient and couldn`t wait and bought a 360.

SO i know.

1.How much it suxd off launch.
2.all the problem w/ XBL
3.why you all bought it.

have fun getting it FIXED again cause it WILL happen.
then you`ll buy a ps3 and give thanks to the name ANEGO MONTOYA.

seriously IGNORE me until you wise up then add me to your PSN and we`ll play until then i`ll just prove your wrong everytime you reply to me.

I am a Sony "Fanboy" but my eyes are OPEN.

[The Wood]

go anego

[bee2427]

those werent all that negative, i think you could do 1 or 2 for each console ... xbox would be its hardware (which their fixing), ps3 their software (which their fixing), and the wii i could go on but online and no high def

[DaTrooF]

the part about the ps3 being expensive....for the amount of things it can do..i say its a bargain.
also,i don't really care about rumble..i'll take it or live it..so its not really a issue for me...the same goes for the headset...and is it really that big of a deal if there is no usb port in the back?

[Sayai jin]

man, you guys up top were right. The Fanboys came and probaly are still coming. I have no issues with the blogs opinions. Mak up your own and buy the console you like and enjoy it and leave it at that.

[HeavyweightInTheGame]

The article stated negaties about all 3 consoles and did a very fair analysis for all 3. But reading the replies all I hear are anti-MS and pro-Sony comments along with other articles. Seems a vast majority of replies are pro-sony. But there are over double the amount of xbox 360s out there. Whats the deal is this a Sony site? I'm being serious here people.

Edit: So 5 people disagree that this is a pro-Sony website. But Anego under me is clearly bashing the 360 and he got 7 agrees and 3 disagrees. Point proven. Pro-Sony website confirmed. I got nothing against ps3 cause I'm getting one (maybe) but there are fanboys out there that are bashing a great system in the 360 on this website.

[Bloodmask]

And also a lot of the top contributors prefer PS3. I think the site is Sony weighted if you look at the amount of agrees and disagrees comments get.

It is also possible that the PS3 community is more vocal but I doubt it as PS3 type articles are always hotter than XBOX or Wii stories.

Even the hottest XBOX 360 news is still usually negative news towards 360. Just look at the weeks hottest.

[bee2427]

but everywhere else is anti-sony and atleast at n4g you get a good mix of both xbox fans and sony fans as oppossed to every1 shytn on sony for no reason

[HeavyweightInTheGame]

Thanks guys just wanted to know what was going on with this site.

[LSDARBY]

tbh the 360s bad points in that article were worse than that of the PS3 but Which type of fanboy replies depends on the article though, more sony fans reply to articles that are negative towards 360 and more 360 fans reply to articles that are negative towards PS3

[Anego Montoya FTMFW]

this is just REFLECTS how SONY is doing CURRENTLY.

Bloodmask can lie to you all he wants,

But the TRUTH is, When MS was doing well all the news for them hit a 1000.

Since/leading up to E3 things have changed.

Sorry to say it but I TOLD YOU SO.

at least deal w/ it like MEN.

@anyone who disagrees

everyone whos been around knows the TRUTH.
i joined this site cause everyone was just BASHING Sony.

@i shank u

your right. I complete support sony.
i have no problem w/ people supporting MS. (i did)

but when people want to lie about the past, i will have something to say.

and YES i`m 100% biased toward SONY.

but i`m not blind when faced w/ truth.

ps. this will get (as you see it) worse and worse as Ps3 gets BETTER and BETTER.

They had their time, NOW is OUR TIME.

and the reason everyone so harsh to these 360ers, is a cause and effect scenario.

deal w/ what you create.

[i Shank u]

hes got a point anego. all i see you do is go around supporting sony and dissing MS, i see alot of ps3 supporters in this site also act anti-MS at the same time. why the hate?

[toughNAME]

a lot of the big contributers are sony fans...but there mostly fair and non biased

but yeah the...the sony fanboys out number the MS fanboys

[Gorgon]

Well, I don't support either Sony or MS. I support whoever gives me the best deal, be it quality games, reliable hardware, or whatever. Why? Because I'm a CONSUMER and neither MS or Sony pays my bills. And when people realize that we will all be more happy and we all will be less screwed and given more respect and more quality services by those same companies.

Unfortunately, as someone with a minimum amount of brains can deduce from this particular site, that is a long time away, if ever.

[i Shank u]

well said, id say i feel much the same as you. I do think that the majority of these "fanboys" who support one system and bash all the others are not older then 18 and dont hold much purchasing power, because alot of them act like they are on the company payroll with the commercials they give. Brand loyalty is worthless because things are always changing in the world, and to factor in something like loyalty when making a choice on an electronics product or any other consumer product, is stuuupid.

[Gorgon]

Amen, bro.

"3. Expensive"

Are you listening Sony?

[darthv72]

For a gaming machine. That is what gamers are buying it for and when compaired to the 360 or the wii it is expensive. I am reminded of the days when the genesis, snes and $700 gorilla 3DO was on the market. It too was expensive for a gaming machine and 3DO tried desperately to justify why they are asking $700 for a gaming system.

True it did have better looking games but it also did multimedia and interactive and video cd (with add-on). The PS3 is trying to be the next 3DO by saying it does more than just play games. Bottom line is a gamer wants to buy something to play games and what are the price points: Wii $250, 360 $300-$480 and PS3 $500-$600.

I will get a PS3 when it comes down in price because I am cheap and don't like spending more on a console than I do for rent. I do have to point out I do have a 3DO but I waited until the FZ-10 came out at $200 to get it. The only system I spent over $500 on was a NeoGeo cart system. I swore I would never spend over $500 (or even $300) on a system again.

[DTClown]

It's about creating that "next-gen" console. When you're a pioneer, it comes at a price. But the people who buy into that pioneering technology, reap the rewards. The 3D0 was a few years before it's time, but after 15 YEARS, the system still rocks in it's own right. For instance, I now play the 3DO game Twisted with my wife (then girlfriend) and our 5 year old daughter and 7 year old son. IT'S A FREAKING BLAST!!!! 15 YEARS! STILL HAVING AS MUCH FUN WITH IT! That $700.00 was the best money I ever spent next to the $600.00 I laid down for the PS3. (Which in my opionion was a bargain since it cost less than the 3DO did 15 years earlier!)

Point is, I am going to enjoy my PS3 with my family for another 15 years or more. Having to WAIT even a day later to start having that fun is not worth it. No go play.

[IRONMAN457]

nintendo is obviously sucky to 360 and PS3, Ps3 tops all, lack of library? wtf, crappy ports?wtf, this dude did make some sense but in all PS3 rokz all

[bluhefner]

Umm....... wow was that your most intellectual post?

[sleepbox]

I just don't understand how anyone could justify a PS3 purchase right now due to reason #1

[ReBurn]

I justified mine in 4 ways. First, there are a few good games out there right now. There's no abundance of games, but there's stuff to do. Second, I have a decent PS2 library that looks so much better on my HDTV when played through my PS3. Third, Blu-ray movies are awesome. And to go along with it DVD upscaling makes the PS3 an excellent all-around movie machine. Fourth, I paid $500 for my 360 with the wireless network adapter, so comparing apples to apples I can't really complain about the price.

[MarioFromTexas]

I wanted the best at the time, even though there were nothing but PS2 ports for the first year. I wanted to play in HD, so $600 that I pay were worth it and cost me more than my PS3. Price is not an option, if the product warrants the purchase.

I'm pretty sure 70 percent of people buy name brand shoes at retail stores, when they can go to payless and buy shoes for a 1/3 of the price...Your a gamer so what's the difference?

[PS360PCROCKS]

Very True.

[DrWan]

All of the problems for PS3 (except for 6) can be fixed or being fixed, but problems with the other 2 system is here to stay, friend works in Linksys, the problem with Wii online is that it was a design hardware flaw with the packet size being too small (whatever that means to tech heads), and i don't see them fixing Red Ring of Death..they had their best chance on it with the Elite..and from what i read so far, it's the same problem? (anyone care to confirm).

Not to flame, but i think PS3 really does have the brightest future.

[Bazookajoe_83]

Is coming for the 360 called falcon and they are also going to fix something with the heat (cant remember what) that is suppose to fix rrod.

I also think sony has the brighteast future, but im a little pro sony. I dont think the 360 is going to be so far behind.

[Bazookajoe_83]

I think he took out most of he´s anger at the wii (but thats my point of view) Otherwise it came pretty close between ps3 and 360. I did think he forgot about the cost for live, but otherwise a good article..

[Sayai jin]

I think he was fair for the most part and the Wii will be just fine. All three consoles negatives listd can be resolved anPersonlly I would not look at live as a bad thin. $50 USD year, shoot most people spend that much on combo meals at McDonalds in a month or two. Nothing comes close to the XBL experience. I hope they improve PSN and I would not paying for it if they did.

[ReBurn]

Most 360 owners will tell you that Live is worth $50 for 13 months. I would agree. It is a well-developed, well integrated system.

[Covenant]

I'd add one more to each:

360: RRoD is an issue, and they've addressed it with the new warranty , but their customer service still stinks.

Wii: DS compatibility? Both have wifi--why has this not happened yet?

PS3: For a HD console, they found no need to include at least a cheap set of component cables? Come on. The Sony brand PS3 component cables run about $20.

Now, how about a similar list of all the GREAT things about each console?

[ParaDise_LosT]

I don't hate Ps3....and I own a 360(so Im pro MS )

but.....I...Hate...the...WII!

Yes, I said it...I hate the nintendo and its inability to keep up
with the current gen.
Somewhere in the near future, developers will focus more on Casual games than HardCore Games(which I truly hate)
and yes, I know that next to impossible because the hardcore market is big too...
But look at all the Dev comps that are Losing money for making hardcore games [thq,.Rockstar(manhunt), and others!)
while the ones making casual games
are rolling in cash...

the market will soon be
Go casual or go bankrupt...

....hate the wii :(

[Bazookajoe_83]

Im moore of a ps3 guy, and i don´t realy hate the 360. I had one and it died on my so i can get a little agrevated, but i dont hate it. But the wii will destroy the progress of gameing and dooming us all with lastgen. All because to the casual gamers and developers hunt for money. It´s just sad.....

[bee2427]

extremists are the ones who give bad reps for xbox fans and sony fans, im pro sony and dont hate the xbox at all i play it all the time at my friends ive never overly bashed either, but i stick up for sony cuz they need the support cuz so many ppl haate on it

[unsunghero28]

I've pretty much read any imaginable form of insult at the Wii at this point. Personally, I love it, and I think that the fact that Nintendo is trying to innovate the industry is fantastic. Its success just shows that tons of brand new gamers are coming into the market, and that's good for developers, publishers, and gamers alike.

Please people, stop bashing the Wii. I think that for some gamers flaming Nintendo is like a compromise in that you're not flaming the two "real" gaming companies. Or maybe you guys are just furious that the maker of last gen's dead-last is starting to look like this gen's no-contest-first.

Either way, it shows that you guys haven't given the Wii a chance and don't intend to. That's fine, but stop judging a system that you've never really tried.

[bee2427]

my girlfriend just bought a wii cuz i convinced her too becuz its something that i know she would enjoy, my roomate who i lived with for 10 months got one the first week it came out... we played it in the room for 2 weeks straight, never played it again after that and after he beat zelda he never played it again... we played our ps3 more and it had no games wen it first came out

[ENNO]

II think reason number one for the ps3 can only be justified if you own a 360..other than that there are lots of titles to keep you going!

[ChickeyCantor]

"
Sony has taken a lot of heat over the lackluster PSN experience versus Xbox Live, but let’s face facts…the Wii’s online experience is a joke. Even sharing your Miis with other people is a ridiculous exercise in convoluted processes. This doesn’t even take into account the fact that the system inexplicably loses its connection and delivers obscure error messages when trying to access the online store…what does that say for the possibility of online multiplayer games?
"

yeah, he gets lots of errors because the turd doesnt know how to setup his network( i never had problems with my Wii connections )
Plus the fact Nintendo still has to show us their final online system.

"No rumble

“Rumble is a last gen feature”. What a load of crap."
this moron doesnt know Sony is busy on that part.

I noticed he bashed the purchase points of ms and nintendo but thinks Nintendos wii point suck more because you dont have a keyboard to input the digits.......im sorry but input interface and purchase points aint related.

and more things i wanna point out but i cant believe i have read the whole thing =/.....its full of bullcrap ...

[HandShandy]

You may be pro MS...

But if someone says "Hate" and "Wii" in the same sentance I automaticly hit the agree button!

I hate that lil thing aswell, it makes a mockery of the games industry. We don't want old farts or children playing games - no way!

[djt23]

so you are trying to say that you never play video game when you were kid. you just start play video game when you turn 18. BS
everybody should enjoy video game include old farts.
BS

[ChickeyCantor]

another lost soul....T_T a sad world this is.

[unsunghero28]

And I don't mean "LOL" like that's funny, I mean I literally laughed out loud when I read that.

The concept of keeping children out of the gaming industry is absolutely absurd... I mean, aside from the fact that they're an ENORMOUS part of the entire industry's demographic, you seem to forget that the Wii is NOT the only system that caters to li'l kids.

How many times have you signed onto an online game and heard that stereotypical 12 year old on the other end of a microphone shouting his head off? Children are EVERYWHERE in this industry, and that's not just Nintendo. If they didn't buy games then the games industry would absolutely fail.

[djt23]

32 play online, VC and i like my MII just shut up thank you

I noticed he bashed the purchase points of ms and nintendo but thinks Nintendos wii point suck more because you dont have a keyboard to input the digits.
BS go to freaking store buy some point i dont want to put in my card number if i add one.

[ChickeyCantor]

Copy pasta biatch XD

[Sayai jin]

The hardcore sector is not very big at all thats why the Wii is doing so well. Everyone thinks Nex-gen is about graphics and to some point it is, but its about innovation, the Wii remote is this to a "T" along with the game play. The Wii will not hurt the indstry it will broaden the horizons if anything. All three console brings omething to the table which in turn is good for the industy and the consumer.

[ghettocheeze]

Microsoft
1. RROD - YES/NO
"Falcon" chip may fix this but for now all 360s are failure prone even the ones Microsoft is sending back as replacements.

[HandShandy]

Who the heck armed you with a keyboard and an attitude you nonsense spouting Nintendo-fanboy?

From what you said about kids playing video games.... when kids like you are playing games and develop a devious little chip on their shoulder about their precious Wii.... sometimes it might be a good idea PEOPLE like you didn't play games - because to that affect I would have to put up with your crap on here.

Go play your DS dude, I think your virtual pet dog on Nintendogs needs you to itch it's nuts by now!

Get a real games console mate - stop pissing around on the 20-minutes-of-fun Nintendo Pee!

[unsunghero28]

Wow.

It's funny because the only person that would possibly make jokes about nut itching and Pee is probably younger than 13.

I think the great thing about pre-pubescent kids (like our good friend HandShady here) is that give them a copy of GTA and suddenly they think they're 23.

[ChickeyCantor]

define:" real games console "
I dare you.....because all you gonna say is:
HD HDD CELL and maybe sixaxis.

[jadura450]

First of, I'd like to point out HandShandy (what a weird name....) is that there are lots of people, in fact more people, who own the Wii, and would be easily ready to defend the console they think is fantastic.

Sadly, this website is not known to nearly as many Nintendo people as it is PS3 people (probably waiting for news on a good game, their Resistance Fall of Man completed ten times over).

But anyway, it's true. Kids are a big part of the industry, or else crappy movie games would probably not be made at all. And no, I'm not a kid. I just can't take it when people like you take your anger out on the Wii only because your prized PS3 isn't nearly as awesome as you thought it would be. Yes, it has (hopefully) good games coming out, and I look forward to them.

And the only reason you can't put up with people like me, unsung, or djt23 is because you know we're right.

So get used to it.

And I believe you can't scratch balls on Nintendogs. Tough luck.

I'm sure you've always wanted to try though. If only they released something like Sonydogs. But then, darn it, Sony would be copying Nintendo again! And, as we saw the last time it happened, more people would be pissed then okay with it.

[zerolinkgannon]

Wow...what's w/all the Wii hate? tsk..tsk...kids these days.

[TitanUp]

pointless to hate on companies other worse things out in the world to hate on. if you dont like the product dont buy it. dont have to push your opinion on everyone.

and yeah i agree with this nothing is perfect systems are made by humans they cant be perfect so its all good.

have had ps3/360 for a while havent had no hardware probs with either. but 99 nights has frozen on me. and when madden 07 was in ps3 sounded like it was being scratched or something it just sounded strange.

[Shaka2K6]

the wii = huge ripoff.
x360 = good if you wanna play weak PC ports,overpriced online service and then some.
PS3= the best,the best value,best games,best online service,real next gen. bext features ect.

[ChickeyCantor]

it still comes down to personal preference......
if i want a ripoff ill buy it, if i want a console having weak Pc ports ill buy it, if i want something with the best value.....i think i need to do some research....because they are all best in value depending on what you want, its my personal opinion that makes a game the best around in my eyes/mind and not because you say so.

i could go on like this for hours, but i think you would only get the first few parts.

[Zinswin]

Coming from a fan of the 360, I would agree with all that he says about the 360 EXCEPT the lack of wireless. Any true online gamer will use a wired connection. Wireless should be a last ditch effort when gaming online. I WANT someone to pay that extra $99 to go wireless because they are lagging, thus ruining my gaming experience.

[JasonPC360PS3Wii]

#1 the PS3
#2 Blu-Ray before games
#3 the PS3 (the devs all hate it)
#4 the PS3 has no games or poor scoring games
#5 the PS3
#6 did I mention the PS3?

[OC_MurphysLaw]

enjoyed every bit of it. I have to admit...I found it funny that he pointed out so many issues with Wii that seem to really fly under the radar. We all focus so much on the 360 vs PS3 debate...but really maybe the Wii should be taking a pounding instead?

[Rooted_Dust]

I think this article was pretty fair. If the manufacturers would actually take note, many of these problems could be fixed.

[jinn]

PS3 - Not too many games at the moment

Wii - Not too many games at the moment

360 - Don't get me started. The list can go on FOR EVER....HAHHAHHAHAHHHAA

There are always going to be pros and cons to both systems. Why can't people just scrape up enough cash to buy both the 360 and the PS3? I have both and enjoy them both. Being a hater is so 2006.

When your parents go out turn off the parental controls in Google's search and type in "HandShandy" it should enlighten you.

Seriously I wondered where the high volume of Nintendo Fanboys all suddenly came from.. (I thought you guys were a dying breed) since half your gamers are old people.

You think I am dissapointed in my PS3? Not in the slightest mate, and I don't need your ignorant oppinion on why I should be... lack of games? Shut up I can pick a handful of things from the PLAYSTATION NETWORK that are more exciting than all the Wii's flagship games put together and that's saying something.

Although hard to discredit your view about the importance of all-aged gamers - I think that it's totally illogical that you put the PS3 in any bad light (That goes for all you Nintendo fanboys) when it's hardware gleams in superiority over the Wii.

I would rather have 10 Xbox360s burning my house down than be anyware near a Wii.

PS: It's a pity you can't scratch dog's nuts in Nintendogs for yoursake.. but then again you can rely on them to include that in a sequel.

I got what I got and I don't need to justify it. Before we all got our console(s) of choice I'm sure we knew the pros and cons of each. This post is for none console owners. It is also one person's opinion of each console. If what this guys says was 100% true then the Wii would be in last place. Casual gamers are strange people and it is hard to figure out what they want.

LOL, don't tell me about the joys of the Playstation Network. If I wanted incredibly slow download speeds and poor web-browsing I would still have dialup.

It's pretty clear that you wouldn't buy a Wii if it was $10. And you know what, I think I can speak for all 9.6 million of the rest of the install base when I say we'll live. Anyway, you have fun with Home this holiday season. Meanwhile I'll be playing Super Smash Bros Brawl with the rest of the hardcore gaming crowd...

Well, seeing as I don't have parental controls on (and never have. Hell, I'm not a kid), and taking a break from playing the great online experience that is Mario Strikers Charged, I decided to look up and see what handyshandy was. And I found... a Picture of a woman hugging a pickle. No, not a penis. A pickleman costume. So, are you the guy in the pickle or the woman? Either way, it doesn't suprise me...

And no, maybe you didn't read... or maybe you can't and need someone to do all the reading/writing for you... but Nintendo is aiming for all ages. And every person I know, young and old... mostly young... owns a Wii. So nope, we're not going to die anytime soon.

Well, good for you and not being disappointed by the lack of good games on the PS3. I'm glad you're getting used to all of the bad ones in stores and on the PSN. So, that makes it about you, everyone Playstation fanboy, and since I'm kind enough, I'm gunna add about 10,000 other people to the list.

I admit, you're right. It's hardware is better than the Wii. But the Playstation's games... well... suck. Wii on the other hand, I can't stop playing it.... except now of course. So who needs superior graphics when you've got a game you can't stop playing? If you guessed every gamer, you're right! My guess is you didn't though. So, you're stuck with crying over your Playstation 3, with all of it's scratches and dents, courtesy of your anguish.

Actually, the Xbox 360 is good. I've enjoyed playing games on it with my friends. Apparently though you're not a fan of that either. Well, least it has a better library, and always will have a better library (not including Rachet and Clank and Killzone 2. Hell, I could live without those though) than the PS3.

PS. Sorry, you're gunna have to find out for yourself whether I would be able to scratch a dogs nuts on the sequel of Nintendogs. First of all, I don't own a DS. Second of all, apparently unlike you, who brought up the subject of scratching a dogs nuts in the first place, I'm straight.

#1 why the 360 sux is because of its failure rate
