Which Next Gen?

[Drifter]

OK, I didn't see this here, so now you all SUUUFFFAAARRRRrrrr1111!!11!11

Anyways, which next Gen do you wanna get?

PS3, NR, or 360?

The most of this post will now be copied and pasted from several other sources for each console, that I could find at least.

Note for this section of post: The original post made on August 12th. So it might be alittle dated.

Nintendo Revolution:
-Disc drive plays 12cm Revolution discs and 3in GameCube discs
-Smallest console and least power consuming
-Wireless controllers for Revolution (has four controller ports for GameCube controllers)
-Nintendo WiFi, free of charge and "better than Xbox Live", WiFi ready out of the box
-Nintendo will release a USB 2.0 device that lets you transfer your computer's wired broadband connection wirelessly to the Revolution and DS
-No HiDef video output support
-Only console that will not have an ethernet port
-Built-in 512mb of flash memory with two SecureDigital card slots for additional memory
-Ability to download games from NES, SNES, and N64 (prices are yet to be determined)
-Graphics by ATI, processor by IBM, includes 2 USB 2.0 ports
-Controller to be "simplified"
-Has the support of Square Enix, NamcoBandai, Konami, and Capcom
-Konami to launch two new franchises on Revolution, Capcom to bring back a sorely missed franchise to the Revolution
-Nintendo to have big plans for Metroid Prime 3, possibly with a larger online multiplayer focus to counter Halo 3
-A lost franchise will include Resident Evil
-Launch title will include Super Smash Bros. Revolution
- Said to be priced at around 200 dollars.

Microsoft Xbox 360:
-Can play both Xbox and Xbox 360 games according to MS (some Xbox games must be emulated, so the reliability of the compatibility remains to be seen)
-Xbox Live Silver free of charge, Xbox Live Gold includes extra features but requires paid subscription
-Xbox 360 controllers to be similar to Xbox S controllers with a slightly different button layout
-Graphics by ATI
-Forcing developers to make their games optimized for HDTVs
-Only console with a built-in hard drive
-Only console that will not be WiFi ready out of the box
-Possibility of releasing a second version of the console with support for HD-DVD MOVIES (no games will be made in HD-DVD, and support for the format for movies isn't concrete)
-A lost franchise will include Ninja Gaiden, and a new franchise will include Resident Evil
-Launch titles will include casual sports games, Gears of War, and Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter

Sony PlayStation 3:
-Cell processors, at least one cell guaranteed to be dead-on-arrival (WTF?)
-Can play PS1, PS2, and PS3 games
-Has no PS1/PS2 memory card slot, and Sony has no plans to release a USB device to transfer saves (WTF?)
-Theoretically supports seven controllers through wireless Bluetooth, plus a theoretical extra six through USB 2.0
-Forcing developers to make their games optimized for HDTVs
-Outputs to two 16:9 HDTVs (...)
-Graphics by nVidia, 6 USB 2.0 ports
-Developers are assuming they can make PS3 games as good as pre-rendered movies shown at E3 (but they didn't say they were pre-rendered until after they were accused...)
-Has the support of Factor 5 in addition to many Japanese developers
-Bulkiest next-gen console
-Disc drive to support Blu-Ray
-Requires the PS3 to be connected to the internet at all times for anti-piracy measures, if a BluRay disc's security code is detected as counterfeit Sony will send a signal to your PS3 which will render it useless (WTFOMFG???! anyone ever heard about SCRATCHES ON FRAGILE NEW MEDIA BECAUSE OF LARGER CAPACITY??!)
-Only console with DVD movie playback support out of the box
-Controller is miniscule, the average person's thumb will completely overwhelm the analog sticks, let alone the buttons, and the boomerang design is finalized already
-No known titles to be ready for launch, but has the most games being developed
-Price confirmed to be between $500 and $1000. Sony in huge debt because of cell-processing and BluRay research, and expects to be able to pay off their loans with PS3 sales. (they won't make any profit at $600, just so you know)
- The PS3 will run Linux.


All Next Gen Consoles:
-Games reported to cost $60 at launch
-Will have online services
-Will have wireless controllers

Anyways, there ya go.

If this thread has been made before and I just missed it, sorry, if not, vote, and explain why you want each.

As for myself:

I'll be getting a Revolution, no doubt. At heart, I am a Nintendo Fanboy, but I know when a company can win against them, or when someone else does good too. This time I think Nintendo has a good chance to win. If the companies backing it up, going to be releasing games on it are true, it WILL have the good games needed for a console to survive. It already will though, because of the downloadable games. That's a fanboys wetdream right there. XD

Plus the prive makes it VERY affordable. And while most people think the GC was a HUGE mistake on Nintendo's part, it did have alot of good games, you just needed to look for them.

[additional rant] People have tried to peg being "kiddy" on Nintendo, when they've forgotten the important thing about the game, having fun. Who gives a crap about kiddy or not? That's the kind of stupidity that's caused Nintendo to have a bad rep for awhile now. [/rant]

Nintendo is the only truely ORIGINAL and CREATIVE complany left that makes consoles! Their STILL trying to reinvent the wheel, and have done so many times. SO I congradulate them for that. I fear that if they go down, we'll NEVER have anything creative again. When was the last time Sony, or Microsoft did anything mroe the up the hardware of their consoles? They might have added a feature or two, but they've never focused on the gaming part of it. Just making it more powerful.

That's why Nintendo has my support. And I honestly think they can pull it off.

NOW GO FOURTH AND VOTITH ON THINE POLL AND TELLITH THE WHYS...or somethin'.

[Kitty]

i put my vote down for the revolution.
Wow lots of info here that i didnt know.
And what is this about ps3 not having a slot for ps1/ps2 memory cards and not planning on making something to transfer it ? Um ok?

I voted for revolution, but really, I am looking forward to all three. I never as a big xbox person, but perhaps 360 will be different and change my mind,

[Drifter]

And what is this about ps3 not having a slot for ps1/ps2 memory cards and not planning on making something to transfer it ? Um ok?

Sony didn't make the PS3 compatable with PS1 and 2 Memory cards, meaning if you wanna play those games, you'll either have to play them on a PS1 or 2, or play without your data. Would you like that? 'Cause I'm sure many other's don't.

[Kitty]

well i know what it means, i'm just kinda of in shock i guess. so it's a way for sony to make more money by forcing people to buy buy buy new stuff.
thanks for all the cool info on these

[cd]

Drifter, you act like a forum troll .
i put my vote for 360. i love xbox, and not having to use 'memory cards'. also, the xbox has the best games ever invented Halo and Halo 2.

[Drifter]

Drifter, you act like a forum troll

OMFG U STUPID NOB HOW R U INSULT MA UR JUST A NOOB AND U NED 2 DEI ROFL I DONT TROL UR JUST STUPID LOLOLOL*

*: In case you couldn't tell, that was a joke. ;P

Hey, I didn't know if she didn't get it, or just didn't care. So, I just trying to break it down to one of them. If that makes me a troll, then so be it.

also, the xbox has the best games ever invented Halo and Halo 2.

...You sad, sad, deprived, sad, autistic, sad little man. Somewhere out there, you just killed a good franchise of gaming. *morns the loss*

[cd]

yep ;D. and trolls r usually good games that have spare time.
i dont play videogames that much so thats probably y. i like doing other stuff on the internet. like coding and crap like that, but im not that good yet.
only little bit of java, pretty good with html, and suck at php

Nintendo Revolution:

164. Hey You, Pikachu!

I remember when the game first came out and it was like 80 bucks and I was like ..maybe 8... but I got it for Christmas and I loved it..then on a sad day, the phone rang and I ran to the phone ::sigh:: and while doing that I accidently stepped on the cord of the mic and it snapped and died. I loved taht game so much for the short time I played it. It was really cute. Now that I think about it, learning Japanese..and it being a Japanese game..I wonder if I could have talked to it in Japanese. I know if you said something that may sound close to an offisive or mean word (not that I ever meant to), pikachu would get mad or sad. I can't completly remember because it's been a while back. But if they do make the game downloadable for the Revolution, I wonder if they will have mics to sell for games that you can connect. I see the mics at video game stores some times..

so..anyone remember Hey You Pikachu! ?

[melinda]

shut up, u all should get a life seriously

[Drifter]

Got one. Thank you for the LOVELY advice. Whoever the hell you are. XD

It's funny, a guest, who can't even type as good as an AOLer, tells me to get a life. Well, let's compromise. I'll 'get a life', when you 'get the f**k away from me before I hunt you down, find out who you are, and stab your eyes out with a pencil'. Okays? Okays. Have a nice day. Kthnx ^_^

[Jessi]

I remain loyal to Microsoft... Mmmm... Xbox 360 *drools over forum*

[Mobius]

I'd have to side with the PS3, since they sort of hijacked the Wii's motion sensor idea and they have a few more console exclusive titles in comparison to the 360.

[Kris]

You guys are seriously all freaking NERDS Go outside once in a while. get a boyfriend or girlfriend. you know make some friends losers
