Which will rule?

Which console do you think will have the greatest sales and why do you think that console?

im guessing playstation because it was the most of the last three, i think, maybe i'm wrong but i think playstation will be the highest

nintendo might be closer this time because it will be able to play dvds

wow how many threads are there going to be of like this. First off Im sure I will like all 3 for there own special abilities. Xbox 360 will probably have awesome online and improved gameplay machanics, PS3 will probably have an improved online and great gameplay, Nintendo revolution might have great online, and or great gameplay.

But who is to know witch one will sell more units. Knowing PS2 is so popular and is rated to be #1 on the gaming wars, Id say PS3 may have a little more sales. But since Microsofts fanbase have been growing it might be out past or near the PS3. The Nintendo Revolution may be close to them aswell. With the ability to download games and such that is great.

But I dont really care witch one is going to be better, because they are all going to be great systems (I hope). Im going to get the PS3 once I can get enough money for it, then if I have any money left over I might get either the Xbox 360 or the Revolution.

PS3. I don't know why, but that's the one I'm getting. So it has to be the best. :)

I feel sorry for those of you who vote for Nintendo. The CEO of Nintendo said himself that he doesn't believes that games should go HD, and that for me is enough to vote for the 360. If Nintendo wakes up and joins the rest of us here in the "real world" and stop making games for the 5-12 year old demographics, then I'd reconsider. Oh, and DROP THE POKEMON FRANCHISE! lol

You can pretty much break the 3 consoles down into specific purpose categories.

360- Focusing more on HD and has an online profile system that's second to none.

PS3- Focusing somewhat on HD but mainly detail to high-end performance, hence the cell technology.

Revolution- Trying to reconnect with the Nintendo fans of old by allowing them to download and play all of their old favorites....for a nominal fee, ofcourse.

I agree with kinco, but also the PS3 controller is one reason I did not vote for it. I mean I like the console, but the controllers, yuck. The Revolution, though Nintendo does need to show a little more consideration that people understand games more than they are putting their consoles to be, will be a big improvement for Nintendo in these recent years.

[Quote=Pit]If they each will have their own special abilities... then why the hell did you right "improved online and great gameplay" for each and every one of them I mean... what the eff.

Im saying what they might improve on, maybe you should open up them eyes a bit and read a little slower so your brain can understand.

Ps3: next gen with bad controler

XB360: Next gen with good online play

Rev: Next gen with a legedary backwards compatability and [insert hiddent revolutionary feature that we dont know about]

For one thing, the controller may look bad for any given system, but judgements should NOT be passed by a control no one has played with. Calling yourself a real gamer without giving fair chances calls for a suicide.

Personally, I have no predictions. Gamers are fickle in their style of gameplay, so whatever we choose could make or break the other systems. Obviously, those who want to go retro will choose Nintendo. Those who want to connect with the world go to Microsoft. Those who want the best **** games ever go to Sony. It's about the gamer, not the console.

Well I choose not to Vote. I think all 3 will have their powerful properties. During this console war I leaned more towards Xbox and it's huge Online Multiplayer Games. But Seeing that the Revolution can play Emulated games from NES/SNES/N64/Cube, I think I'd probably prefer that. Of Course Microsoft has beefed up it's future RPG List and of course the 360 will still have a huge Online Gaming Selection. So It's a tough call. The PS3 on the other hand has exclusives I look forward to like MGS4, and Soul Caliber 3. I'm highly excited about those. 360 will have final fantasy now.. But i'm not sure.. Urg.. No vote sorry.

1st place: PS3
2nd: 360
3rd: Rev

Nothing will change.

Well according to these polls Rev is third.

And what a reliable poll it is.

it is bith *** *****

But i think rev will be 2nd or first of ocurse PS3 THIRD

No, the GC NEEDS the new Zelda game. It has nothing, it needs this game to survive the next six months. If TP was pushed back until the Rev (which could take more than a year), the GC will have a premature death.

Well in a way you said that. You more or less said that we don't know much about the Rev so it's too early to Judge. Thats what I understood anyways maybe i'm just tired. But I more or less put your words into the PS3 :-P Figured you wouldn't mind. But it is too Early to Judge.

Nintendo has never ceased to rule, in my opinion, and I have no reason to believe that they will with the Revolution.

Though I WILL get all three, I think the 360 will win by a mile.... I hope and think.
First: Enhanced X-Box Live support.
Second: Halo 3
Third: Perfect Dark Zero
Fourth: Upgradable Hard Drive
Fifth: Look at the specs people. ^_-_^

I could be wrong, but since I'm a whore for the 'Soft, I hope not.
Revolution will be second! Prepare for Nintendo's comeback!
PS3, Sony's a good group, but they'll lose this round.

I still stand by what I say. The Nintendo users of old have....well, grown up! It's time they get with the program and start making games to target the old-school generation. And yes, they DO need to ditch the kid crap like Pokemon because it's annoying and only pre-mature 10 year olds buy the crap. Don't get me wrong, you'll not find a bigger Mario fan than I, but they need to mature their games up a little bit like they're doing with Zelda.

And Sapphire....how could you forget Quake 4, Unreal Tournament 2007, and the Square titles?! lol

Uggh, nintendo is not for kids and nintendo should not drop their kid orientated franchises. They have mature games but nobody acknowledges them and why can't they appeal to all audiences? They make money off of them. If you think because you grow older you can't play old games then your really dumb. So since when does "grow up" mean become violent?

By the way we know NOTHING about the rev. except for the ability to download games. These threads should probably stop.

This isn't exactly valid but tell me, nich, why was Nintendo's most mature title Resident Evil 4 voted best game of Q1-Q2 for the GameCube? It just goes to show that violence sells. I haven't played a mario game since Super Mario World. And by growing up, I meant they need to leave their shells and step into the HD generation, which Miyomoto (SP?) specifically said he would not. His comments lead a lot of infamously reliable critics wondering wtf was wrong with his head.

sure there are a lot of so called kids games for the nintendo but there really fun to play. I know people in there 40's who play mario yet. Really I think they make the big bucks on the so called kids games you guys are saying. Super Mario Sunshine was a great game that apealed to all adiences and not just kids.

But you also got to understand that there are tons of E rated game for all systems. You cant just rule out one system for the reason of so many people thinking there is too many kids games. Nintendo Rev Im sure will have a lot of E rated games, but so will the PS3 and Xbox 360 because it needs to apeal to all the gamers that play it. So really all systems are going to play all types of rating (E, T, and M rated games).

Im not taking sides on any system. Just because Nintendo is "said" to make kiddy like games does not mean that they wont make profits. I enjoy kids games. Id take anything to go back like 5 or 6 years so I can grow up all over again just to play the NES all over again.

Gamers who want old school would probably choose the Nintendo Rev, gamers who want great games and great gameplay will probably choose the PS3, and gamers who want good online, good FPS's and good graphics will choose the Xbox 360 (thats saying if there will be many FPS's for the system.)

Really there are a lot of people who love the Nintendo. Just because people say "oh Nintendo gots kids games so I hate it" does not mean people wont buy it or enjoy it. Im sure If I had a Rev I would enjoy it. Heck I would enjoy all 3 systems if I had them all when they come out.

so what im trying to say, is that it depends on the gamer, and what he/she likes to play.

Can we close this thread on that statement?

I would like to point out WHAT THE H*** were they thinking when they released the looks of it to show a crappy controller like that we havent senn a REV controller yet.

You really are stupid. Did the word "Boomarang" ever cross your mind? Well no, I mean come on, two sided dildo easily comes to mind before that! Dimwit.

I think the point he's trying to make is that Playstation has the biggest library of games (Well, at least that's the case with PS2). PS2 has a large variety of games to choose from, so that's why consumers go for it. So in other words he isn't saying Nintendo or Microsoft make bad games.

Sony's target audience has always been "everyone," and with their knowledge of the market and quick execution, they'll likely remain on top for the next generation. However, I do believe Microsoft is better prepared than it was with the original Xbox, so the near monopoly of Sony won't be as evident. Nintendo, on the other hand, doesn't look like it has any plans to take over the world, so it's very easy to see them in the third spot.

Why would you spend $400 on a dildoish controller when you can buy one for twnety dollars at any sex store?

Good Point, never thought of that And lets end the PS3 controller on that shall we.

You're a ****ing idiot. Get cancer.

On a side note, you completely ignored what I said. Get out.

No i didnt i said who in the hell wants to play with that i cant its impossible for me

Hyper, I'm talking about ones released to the general public, not your "personal" stash. ;)

Well, Revolution will definately dominate the "I used to play games but now they aren't appealing to me" audience with the hyper-backwards compatibility. And it seems to have the best chance of attracting non-gamers, if the success of DSs philosphy is anything to go by.

I hate Sony so 360 AND Revolution

Then the general public must be made to understand the truth, by someone wiser and more powerful than they.

Doesn't matter. Real gamers would get all three systems and stfu.

Some REAL GAMERS cant afford all 3 systems and stuff.

Then they're not real gamers. Real gamers find a way to buy them all.

No they are real gamers just some of their parents dont ****ing make $500000 dollars a year and cant buy 3 systems. ****IT

well youll have time to save up 4 the PS3 it wont com out till mid 06
Hey buddy Thanx 4 de reping me when i CANT GET A JOB, I have just gotten out of 13 surgies to my broken infected foot, so i cant!!!!!!!!!!

Money is not that hard to come buy. Mow lawns, uh, walk dogs.....

whatever would be convienent around your neighborhood >_>

I heard if your disabled you should be getting checks in the mail. Even if your at a young age. My next door neigbor is on disability, but does not get paid much. If you get disability, I gaurantee that you will have money to get the 3 systems.

Im not sure if teens can get disability, I know one kid I go to school with has disibility because of his asthma and he's around 16 right now.

My problem will be saving the money. I'm horrible at managing it. :(

Non-gamers and has-been gamers don't have any of these opinions, and they're who Nintendo are targeting, aswell as the hardcore fans. Casual gamers would just get swept up in the acceptance of Nintendo.

[Quote=Pit]What the hell do you mean "teens can't get dissabilities"? Hell, by standards, you're disabled.

Well I said I dont know if teens do. That kid I go to school with skips school on purpose until he turned 16 so he can get his disability, so I think you got to be 16 to have disability, but im not to sure.

Okay, when you say "dissability" what are you talking about? Because a dissability is something like ADD or having an amputated leg.

Dissability is like problems with your body, and you get money from the government. My neigbor has a bad back and also is an alcoholic and hes on Dissabilty. But he does not make much money.

ADD I dont think would get you dissablity. Dissability is mostly for injured people or people who cant work or whatever.

yea but he didnt have to de rep me, he doesnt know my circumstances or anybosy elses.

I am also horrible at managing money so their are a lot of people out their who are.

dis

Seriously man dont take Rep so serious. Rep is just a joke.

Playstation 3. Maybe because Sony has more games.

Gotta agree with Fate and Big Boss on this one. Just because PS2 has a larger library doesn't necessarily mean that it's crap. I mean, Devil May Cry, *** Of War, and other exclusives to PS2 are just as good as any other gamecube game like RE4 (which is not even an exclusive come this year) andRPG's like Baten Kaitos.

PS3 won't have more games. Jesus.

Well, not at launch.

Well, judging by the PS2's game library compared to the Gamecube's and Xbox's, then the PS3 will theoretically have a larger library this time around.

I'm talking strictly about Revolution games there, Speedy.

Oh, well even then. If Revolution really does appeal to a greater market than the other 2, it'll still most likely have more games.

Since when did the amount of people that the system appeals to effect the amount of games that come out for it? Explain please, because it's not making sense to me.

If a system appeals to more people, more developers will be attracted to the system wanting these people to buy their games. Therefore, there would be more games.

But since a system only appeals to people because of its game library, it's the most despicable thing in the world for developers to look at demographics like that when determining which system to make their games on.

I can't tell if you're arguing that I'm wrong or that the developers are wrong for doing so.

Reviving an old post.

It's been about 2 years since this theoretical feud started, and I wanted to know if anyone's opinion had changed on this matter. All 3 consoles are out now, and the numbers seem to be speaking for themselves.

Xbox 360- Even though it came out a year before the other consoles, its sales still exceed those of the Wii and the PS3. Do a search for the games coming out this holiday season, and you'll see that the 360 has the market all to itself this year.

PS3- As I've said all along, the PS3 has become a victim of its own success. The sales for the PS3 are barely note-worthy, but it's not out of the game just yet. However, with a lot of the once acclaimed PS3 exclusives now confirmed to be multi-platform (Assassin's Creed, Grand Theft Auto 4 and Devil May Cry) Sony has to go all-out this holiday season if it's going to have any chance of succeeding in the console wars this generation.

Wii- I've smeered the Wii since before it came out. Honestly, I want one now just so I can relax and feel like an idiot. Also, replaying some of the games from my childhood appeals to me. The initial sales for the Wii were great, and they're still hard to find on store shelves. While I don't think Nintendo will outdue Microsoft this generation, I now place it as the #2 console.

But, as always, I'm still avidly behind the Xbox 360. I can't wait to get my hands on Blue Dragon! :D

The other consoles haven't been out for a too long. I still think it's too early to go about revising opinions about stuff that happened less than six months ago.

Xbox 360, Nintendo Wii, PS3. That's just how it is.

DANG, I can't believe this is almost 2 years old...

Wii rules!

At first I was excited to get a Wii.. But i've been playing it lately and i've gotten SO EFFIN BORED OF IT... The Wii needs some serious Games to come out to occupy me.. I've been spending 3/4's of my time on the 360.

Anywho I think the Wii will end its course of selling out.. Infact you can find them on shelves now in a lot of areas. Its low price will help sales but Microsofts huge development in games and massive online collection will pull it in for the win in the end.

Wii first X-box360 second and PS last
Why I think Wii will be first is cuz since you know the price of the Wii is less than compenders.
X-box 306 second cuz 100 to 200 price difference of the Wii makes the X-box 360 second.
PS3 last cuz you know the price
(no offence to the people that think X-box 360 or PS3 should be first)

The Dreamcast will make an amazing comeback and win this gen.

Except, you know, console wars usually mean the war within the current generation, which the PS2 is not.

but it's still not current gen

You have to think about the fact that all 3 developers have admitted that it's not the systems that win console wars, it's the games. Ignore the fact that the Wii is outselling the Xbox 360 for now. How many Wii games are flying off the shelves every month? The sheer size of the 360's library is what I think will ensure it's inevitible victory this generation. Look at the release date calendars on the big websites, and you'll see that Microsoft has atleast one "instant classic" coming out every month until the year ends. I honestly think games like Blue Dragon and Mass Effect could sway the PS2 RPG fanboys over to the 360. We'll just have to wait until November and find out.

I like sniper.
