PS2 is a fine too . . . . (;;=_=)
I'm a westerner so I also own a 360 which I use as a coaster for my Wii.
Also fapfapfap@glassesgirl
That glasses girl! So moe!
Let me correct you:
That glasses girl! So BLEH!
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 ;_;
...You, sir (or ma'am), have way too much money. Give me some if it.
I've always been kinda partial to my Atari 2600.
lol. The Wii people are all cute girls while the PS3 people are otaku gamers. I have to admit I'm an otaku gamer myself.
DS FTW!
you get JRPGS from square enix, zelda, and crazy games like doki doki majo shinpan and now FPS too (see moon)
lol, stereotypes
I find those picture hilarious...
and I myself am not a hot Japanese girl nor a fat Japanese guy (though I do have a PS3, I'm very much more that person that you might rarely see playing a 360 (in Japan) but always seen in the U.S.
I have both.
And that other one.
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
I'd be more interested in seeing the stats for usage of Wiis. I'd bet over half of Wiis are covered in dust within 2 months of purchase...
Ya, I'd go for the Wii even though I like the PS3 more, since all the chicks have the Wii, we can play Wii 'sports' together.
Wii can suck my balls...
OH YEAH! Nintendo WII for life, bra
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.
I know several thin and relatively attractive girls who like the PS3 and want one for themselves, those photos are clearly taken by a dumbass Wii fan.
Bring back dreamcast to life!
dreamcast ftw!
What is up with all the female choosing the WII rather than PS3?
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.
That's because that's how long it'll take the PS3 to catch with the Wii and 360.
I actuallu just sold my PS3 yesterday and got $200 cash after I heard the laser will die in about 5 years. Plus, the blue ray didn't impress me and all the games I wanted to play were available for or exclusively on the 360.
Wise choice. If you wanna play games, do yourself a favor and get a Wii or 360.
Unlike a certain RtardHiro who wants proof of how the PS3's failing when it's already all over the internet. I see somebody doesn't read the news about the video game industry.
Another vote for 360 :)
Well Well Well
There is one reason why Wii is the winner.
It's in the numbers:
http://www.vgchartz.com/?dg=1
Not even the ps3 & the xbox combined can top the sales of the wii
Too bad the ps2 isn't on that chart.
And you know, there really is as much fanboyism in the console wars as in the Mac-PC war.
I'd get X360 just for IDOLM@STER and Ace Combat 6.. Other than that, IDK.
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-)
DS only have a game which feature Miku, sigh.
Wii/PS3/X-Box 360 all fail since none of the manufacturers will allow eroges to be ported.
I'll just stick to my PC . . . .
Of course women go for wii since their wages are usually are lower than men. I don't get why ps3 price still hasn't gone down. Blu-ray players are now $150 they need to bite the bullet cut the prices, admit in losing the battle, and focus on the next console and games for profits.
Wii - Poor parents or girls would bought more cosmetic could only effort.
PS3 - Otaku with too much money and single lonely night could effort.
X360 - jocks/college guys who can't afford either paintball/airsoft or playing in their sports team could effort, and the occasional Idolm@ster fan.
Lol, senseless.
What I can see from the picture is:
Wii People = Women (young girls)
PS3 People = Men (stereotypical male video gamer)
And yeah, what happened to the 360 xD.
360 People = Men and teenage boys who are amused by the notion of boobs and blood and swearing over the mic. Homo-erotic behavior such as teabags not included.
PC is the best...
NINTENDO SIXTY FOOOOOOOOOOOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUR!!!!!!!!!111111111
I'll stick with PC aswell.
Why are people still buying a PS3? It's already failing. People who say otherwise are idiots or just Sony fanboys who can't accept that fact.
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.
I didn't have something to write for WII, so I went with the first thing that poppoed in my head. Heance, "interactiveness". But I think the WII games are lame, and not for gamers at all
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?
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.
......fact? You woudn't happen to have some proof of this "fact" would you, troll-boy? No? Didn't think so.
As a matter of fact I have. Do you even bother to read video game news? No? Didn't think so.

I'm not attempting to dispute you, but take a look at the analyst's words in this piece.
Valkyria Chronicles
x360 = Tsugumi
Wow are you hating on the 360? For the Wii you forgot to include pictures of the grandmothers and people's mothers as well.
In japan they only sold 2 and they buyed them at nigh and because of that there are no pics
Indeed, where are the hot milfs?
Lol
This entry is tendentious winner.
Fujoshi = Wii
XD
Those aren't fujoshi...those are *gasp* normal people!
*gasp* so that means I aint normal since I never bought a Wii?!
Nintendo 8-bit 4 life
Yup.
Well, a dreamcast is good too.
Why did Dreamcast do so poorly? They were great. I used to love the Berserk game!
What about the Master System?
YEAH! DREAMCAST Forever! WW
People still bid like mad for them on Ebay.
Awesome console indeed.
But it's a shame the lack of DVD reader... just imagine how wonderful it could be!!
Yeah, I played a little on it just earlier today. Awesome console it was...(and is!)
Ah, Dreamcast, now that was a good platform. Much more innovative than the PS2, GameCube and the Halobox.
It's not the console that's important, it's the GREAT Games which are! GAMES FTW!!!
Ah, but games must be designed with a console in mind, in order to maximize that console's capabilities... and any gamer should know that not all consoles are created equally.
Hey look, it's Mac vs. Pc!
This is like Mac vs. PC? No way! I refuse to believe that such stupid fanboyism in the computer world also exists in the gaming world!
Hey, mac will always win. Well in this case, the PS3 is winning.... ;)
Mac obviously wins because of the large library of software it supports, large amount of hardware it supports, and that AWESOME file/menu bar at the top of the main desktop. Right, how's about giving us reasons to why "mac will always win" besides things that are only personal preferences.
"large library of software it supports, large amount of hardware it supports, and that AWESOME file/menu bar at the top of the main desktop."
All capable of being done in Windows, and being done much better?
/muted
Sorry I figured that my sarcasm was obvious, guess I was wrong.
PC will always win with gamers
mac are just to slow and not enough compatibility with games.
Also they have worse torrent programs and most third party programs only work on PC's
From the picture seems that females are going for wii rather than ps3 and males are going for ps3..
why would i want a wii?
like id rather go to a bowling center then sitting on my couch playing virtual bowling ...
ps3 and 360 for me.
WII is juszt for facking childish kids. it has a shity graphic like the gamecube. damn shit.
PS3 is the future. It has a facking awesome graphic not like de WII roflmao
y'all got trolled. x3
and Wii Fit is fun..! when you're playing with other people laughing at you.
Family/party games are family/party games, ze~ And it seems that Nintendo has quite taken a hold of it's niche.
It's not al about the graphics.
Gameplay is important as well and so's the storyline.
I'd rather replay PS1 games that play some of the shit that out for todays consoles.
Hah gameplay! Same failed argument each time. Wanna play WiiFit? Go to the gym. Have cable tv? Tune to the fitness channel and follow their steps.
I agree - I love the games on the DS.
However I now I have a Wii (not mine) and I still think it's a gimmick. Wiifit? That's an actual game? We also have that and I can tell you it's just a living room decoration. The Wii has a couple of good games, but definitely not enough to make the Wii worth it.
But if you're not a normal gamer it might appeal to you.
>.<
Hurray for Japanese gaming in general~ Booo for yank ones (360)
Meh, console is so out of technology. VR and RL is where it is at.....
Atari and Commodore 64 all the way!Oh,not to mention Panasonic's 3DO and Neo Geo console.
I miss the old Megadrive
To hell with those consoles.
Colecovision!!!!!!
PS3 and XBox = Gorgeous graphics and same old form of gameplay. I'd dare say that the PS3 is just the PS2 with more bells and whistles.
Wii = Revolutionary new form of gameplay and interaction that truly means '3rd Generation Console'.
HERESY! How DARE you point out valid arguments for the Wii against the PS3! Am I remembering this incorrectly, or was the six axis rushed into development after the Wii's revolutionary controls were announced?
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.
ps3 and xbox330 make the world go round
That's pretty much how I pictured them.
Despite my Wii doing nothing but collecting dust on my shelf, making for a lovely $250 ornament, I still lol'd at the pic. Perhaps if they get serious and stop trying to advertise themselves as a "family console", which is like saying "Our games are only fun with four people!", then maybe I will plug it in once more.
PS3 just because they have Valkyria Chronicles. I admit there are some game on Wii and Xbox that I think are interesting, but I can't find the motivation to get it.
I own both :P
Wii is for gay lover! See the picture! Fujoshi bought those gay thing!
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.
Ah! NOW I see why females dig Wii. It's the vibrating Wiimote isn't it? (*wink)
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. :_;
Didn't know Wii get's the Wiimons. Oh well one day.
