It's almost time. Oh yes, it's almost time. The Xbox 360 has been available for over six months, and soon the next generation console wars will reach critical mass. This November, Sony will release the PlayStation 3 to the world, while reports indicate that Nintendo could release the Wii a month or two ahead of the PlayStation 3. No matter when Sony and Nintendo get their next generation consoles to market, this holiday season will mark the official beginning of the next generation console wars. Over the course of the last two console generations, Sony has made it clear that they own the gaming industry. The company came out of the gate with the original PlayStation and dominated Nintendo and Sega, then it overwhelmed Microsoft and Nintendo with the PlayStation 2. But several important facts have been revealed about the PlayStation 3 and Nintendo Wii that could make the battle much closer this time around. In addition, Microsoft will have a one year head start with a strong market hold in the US and Europe. The next two or three years should be very interesting, but for now let's look at how the battle this holiday season is shaping up.
PS3 is expensive and has a poor game line up and weak online features. I see 3DO and Neo-geo status- expensive, deluxe and not adopted by the majority.
360 will rule america and europe with its games line up, 5 million users, Live! and its cost.
wii will rule in japan with its games, krazzy controller and LOW price.
I think Sony is tryin to do way to much, the average person thats going to buy a PS3 are'nt going to know about all of these extra features that they keep boastung about let alone use them they are looking for one thing better graphics period. Everyday i watch people buy games souly based on how they look no matter how much they suck and the one reaccuring question i get about the PS3 is not what cool features its gonna have or how many controllers and hey i keep hearing about a new processor its are the graphics gonna be any better than the 360's and i tell people not 200$ more better and thats a fact! and theres no dening that there is not a 200$ difference in graphics and thats what people want not a tilt controllers or a blu-ray drive
The PS3 launch titles won`t be able to match the XBOX 360`s 2nd gen titles! XBOX 360 will continue to rule the US and Europe! The Wii will rule Japan!! Japan has already said that PS3 is too expensive!! PS3 gamers, including the ones on here bashing the XBOX 360, will not see any real reason to buy the PS3 right now with the second gen 360 titles like gears of war and halo 3 right around the corner!! They however will buy a PS3 when good titles launch and Fony, I mean Sony is forced to drop the PS3`s price to keep up with with 360 and wii! Trust me, No one is gonna buy a $600 game console then have to buy games and a second controller!!
im getting all 3. i dont need one system i need them all.
well i need to systems. i feel sorry for the people that the 360 has messed up on but microsoft should fix that for you. but ps3 wii 360 there all going to be good. ps3 sucks xbox 360 wii sucks people that say that crap just need to shut up and have fun.
