Wii People vs PS3 People

wii-vs-ps3.jpg

A comparison of the scenes from the Japanese release of the two consoles. Probably few then would have predicted just how one-sided this would eventually turn out…

    The reason I have a PS3 is for whenever GoW III gets released. The reason I got a 360 was for Ninja Gaiden II. The reason I got a Wii was for Tatsunoko vs. Capcom: Cross Generation of Heroes.
    And yet I play the PS2 and original X-box more often ;_;

    the problem with the wii is that it doesn't have many good games, sure there's zelda and wii fit/sports but those only have limited replay value. The wii fit it's niche of families/older pl...... you can't compare it to the ps3 nor the 360 because it literally is a different type of gaming console. And in japan ps3 > 360

    This is idiotic, that photographer is so biased. He deliberately sought out fat people buying PS3s and women buying Wiis, like it's not ever the opposite way around. He doesn't even wanna portray the ignorant manchildren who support the Wii.

    Not really surprising, the Wii is geared towards casual gamers, and people curious about getting into gaming. Believe it or not, a lot of people, women especially, think that video games have a high learning curve, so the Wii is right up their alley.

    Of course, with the runaway success of the PS3's LittleBigPlanet, and its appeal to both sides of the spectrum, perhaps there will be a shift, but it's hard to justify the $500 for that.

    The PS3 has a lifespan of 10 years.

    Not even the ps3 & the xbox combined can top the sales of the wii

    I have no targets to PS3 though... Maybe PSP would be nicer instead. (Macross Ace, and the upcoming IDOLM@STER SP and Hatsune Miku -Project Diva-)

    Beacuse some people like good games? And not shooters and sport games?

    You want sports and shooters, you buy a X-Box 360.
    You want....interactiveness, you buy a WII
    You want RPG's, fighters, japanese and anime based games, you buy a PS3.

    Except that right now, thanks to Microsoft's willigness to throw around money, the 360 actually has more japanese RPGs, anime-based games, shooters and fighting games than the PS3. Even FFXII and Tekken 6 are multiplatform now.

    Not what I expected when I bought my PS3 ;) Fortunately the whole thing doesn't bother me that much. I'd love to play some of the JRPGs the 360 has, but not enough to actually buy the system. Most of the games I want are released for both platforms anyway.

    Also, what exactly makes the Wii more "interactive"? In my experience, most Wii games are more simple and offer LESS methods of interaction than the average PS3/360 game. The only difference is that you're waving your arms around like an idiot instead of simply pressing a button or moving an analog stick.

    There ARE good Wii games, but Nintendo needs to get more 3rd party developers REALLY on board, and more quality control on these 3rd party titles.

    I mean, I rather prefer pick-up-and-play games. What else would you call the original Super Mario titles?

    Comment by Anon

    Game library wise, the PS2 is still killing all the new gen consoles. Neverminding their huge lead, they still put out more RPGs than all the new consoles combined. Which one will eventually come out ahead remains to be seen.

    Personally, even as someone who predominantly plays RPGs, I think the Wii is the better console against the 360 and PS3. Granted, I think the 360 will gain on the Wii rather quickly at the current pace, and the PS3, well, there will be a total of 4 games that I'll play on it by the time FFXIII is released.

    Innovative gameplay, I think is what someone was going for with the Wii. The 360 and PS3 use the same controller style that's been in place since the SNES, which severely hampers the way in which you interact with the game. Frankly, it tends to make even the best games a bit stale. Slightly better graphics don't compare to revolutionary gameplay.

    But it only counts for as much as you can actually take advantage of the hardware.

    Revolutionary? Clearly you haven't seen those retarded motion sensor plastic pseudo consoles that were put out in the early 2000s with like, one baseball game, geared towards little kids. Nintendo is about as revolutionary as the Jonas Brothers are revolutionary to music. Nintendo just took a good idea and ran with it. Sony then ran with it too after they saw Nintendo thought it was cool, because they possess even LESS originality.

    Fanboys on either side are beyond retarded, Nintendo just had a very brief moment of lucidity and took obscure, already existing aspects of gaming and polished them, and Sony decided to do the exact opposite of what made it so successful for their past two systems.

    Clearly you believe originality is a requirement for revolution. Does that mean you are claiming that the French Revolution, October Revolution, American Revolution, etc etc, are not infact revolutionary because the people who carried them out were not original in their idea to revolt against their government? You should check what the term “revolution” means first before trying to convince anyone that Nintendo does not have revolutionary controls.

    I agree that “fanboyism” by which I assume you mean blind and raving devotion to any one person, place, or thing is stupid. I remember those crappy baseball “consoles” from long ago…and? You either forgot about, or don’t know of the Nintendo Powerglove that was made for the NES. Famicom if you have no idea what NES is.

    You wannna get some ass then you're better off getting a Wii. Chick's are more likely willing to play the Wii than the other systems so it's not the matter of which console has the better graphics or online feature's but whether or not which can give you a better chance of getting laid. :)

    Lets not forget that it could lead to some...interesting "foreplay" in the very least.

    Say what you like about the specs of the consoles, but if the PS3 markets using those "role models" then they fail.

    There's a shortage of Wii's around here so I have a PS3. :_;
