Ok I just purchased a PS3 last night which now means I own ALL 3 next gen consoles. Here are some of my thoughts on all 3 systems if anyone wants to listen:
1.) Nintendo Wii- Unbelievably fun!. I rate this as my number one favorite out of all 3 systems just because of how innovative and easy it is. You can easily pick up and play ANY title and you are guaranteed to have fun and also change your gaming perspective. I love Madden 07. I bought it for 360 when it came out and I couldn't put it down until I got it on Wii for xmas. I love the Wii version so much better just because of all the great features and controls. I haven't played the 360 version again. Zelda, Rayman, and even the Wii Sports will keep you entertained for months. If your short on cash, new to the gaming world, or want a system that is just plain fun, pick up a Wii.
2.) Xbox 360- Great system for serious gamers. The games are beautiful and the controls are always flawless. There are some innovative titles for it but I love the online play. It's fast, easy, and great with the headset. The demos are great to download so you can pick which games you really want to buy or just rent. The games have gotten better and better each month and I haven't regretted buying this machine at all. I rate it number 2 on the list because of the game library and online features. It's fun, but not like the Wii. If you have the cash, get this one.
3.) Playstation 3- A couple words on this system; Over-hyped and disappointing. I just bought this last night and I feel like I've been cheated. The games are so-so, nothing impressive. The one game that everyone gets, Resistance, is just decent. That's it, decent. For the amount of money I spent on this thing, it should do my laundry and wash my car along with playing games. Yes it has a blu-ray player. So what? That's not what I paid for. I want games. Good games. Not decent games. The initial launch titles were more than disappointing. Now I don't judge solely based on launch titles of any system but even the 360 had better titles out by now. I am banking on the fact that this is Sony and they should be coming out with those games that make me proud to be a PS3 owner. The online features are slick, but also lacking and empty at the same time. It just doesn't feel finished. If you have the cash and are bored, get this. If not, just wait until the price comes down. I only got this because I received $100 off for trading in my PS2 and a couple of gift cards that brought the price down to $400, which we won't see anytime soon. Buyer beware on this one.
By the way I bought the best of the best systems. I did not buy the lower end systems just to have it. I am basing all of my opinions on the fact that I spent well over $1000 for all 3 systems. In other words if you buy the best you should receive the best. I don't think that is so in this case because I think the Wii is so much better than the other 2 systems. I hope this helps those people who are on the fence about which ones to get. If you disagree with me, tell me why.
. See how fun that is?
