So that chip magically reads enable the player head to read data at different depths, righteo then :hsugh:

The only problem I see with that is if whether the HDDVD and BluRay camps would actually license it.

I edited in the first post to include the dis/advantages for each console. I just quickly browsed through their wikipedia pages so don't bite my head off if I missed a lot of stuff.

There are a few companies out there that have made players that can read both. At least, that's what the headlines said. I never bothered reading the articles (I'm skipping Blu-Ray and HD-DVD altogether), but once digg comes back up I'll look for them.

The adult film industry is backing Blu-Ray. It will win.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I just read this and wanted to make a little comment on it. Do you really think the adult film industry is of so much influence? VHS only won with the adult industry because this was the first time you could watch this home, and alone. Otherwise you had to see it in cinema. Now that the internet has arrived and adults channels are in the air it is so much easier to get your hands on it. So I seriously doubt it's influence will be as big on this war as it was on the previous one.

Yea, I guess. But don't shoot me. I only brought it up.

Option D

 

 

 

1. Playstation 3

 

 

 

2. Wii

 

 

 

3. Xbox 360

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Without brining predjudice into it, i've always owned a playstation :-w

 

 

 

Nah its looking great, i'm saving for it atm. I think that the xbox is pretty crumby myself, the core system is crap frankly. Having a blu ray player is gonna be handy too if that is what future movies will be released on, and as i just bought a second screen (got a laptop atm) and a TV tuner, i won't ever need to leave my bedroom! (jks lol, i'm not that strange.)

sorry people but the wii has to be no one all the other consols are just repeating the same old thing over and over again just making it look a little shinnyer each time. the cost for making a next gen game is around10mil and the wii is the devrlopers pick because it will cost so much less to make a game on it and they can be more creative and original with it

 

 

If you want to know about exclusives:

 

 

 

360 Exclusives

 

 

 

PS3 Exclusives

 

 

 

Wii Exclusives

You know what I just noticed? PC owns. Other than Halo 3 (which will come to PC, but probably not til 2009-2010), we pretty much have all the best Xbox360 "exclusives" (Alan Wake, Bioshock, Gears of War, Splinter Cell 5), a few PS3 "exclusives" (UT2k7 etc.) and we get all the best multi-platform games (Assassin's Creed, Oblivion, GTA4 (will come to PC)). And all our own exclusives (sucks that we lost Half-Life 2, sucks hard). But we still have pretty much all the RTS's, we have the best FPS's, and we get the all the best games from other platforms, aswell as heaps more versatility in our machine.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

*Sigh*

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Assassin's Creed is also for Xbox360.

 

 

 

Oblivion has been out on the 360 for months.

 

 

 

GTA4, last I heard, was Xbox360 EXCLUSIVE, but I think I remember reading it was for both systems.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I read the Ps3's exlusivities, and only a few made me want to buy a Ps3, whereas the Xbox360 pretty much forces me to buy it because I'd miss out on so much.

 

 

 

Did you understand at all the point of my post? It was how PC get's all of Xbox 360's best games. Therefore, I know they are on 360. I was just stating how we pretty well get every big game in the industry, from either major platform, as well as an amazing range of our own exclusives. Oh yeah, and we got Oblivion at the same time on the 360. And GTA4 is 360, PS3, and almost certainly PC.

Option A

 

 

 

1. Xbox 360

 

 

 

2. Playstation 3

 

 

 

3. Wii

It really only boils down to personal preference... Console in front of your TV or Computer on your desk (yes, I know not all are the same, but thats how most are). I could really care less about the marginal graphics improvement from console to computer.

I read about WII in Time magazine. It didn't appear very apealing. It's nice they are trying something new, but the idea didn't seem very good. At least IMHO, but I am no expert. However, I will say, I really like the design of the remote.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Wow, I just realized, the only thing I care about on these consols is is there design. -.-

a bad idea? a bad idea???? how does revolutionising the way we play games forever count as bad idea? im willing to bet good money that the next generation from sony and microsoft will be trying to inovate now as the entire gaming community have realised shinier samey games which have plagued the 360 and ps2 for ages dont cut the mustard any more.

It's the whole idea of jumping and moving around with a remote. It seemed that games like this ie. baseball games with actual plug in bats and golfing games to name a few, haven't been succesful. But then again, I'm no one to say it will do bad. I just have the feeling gamers would rather sit down then stand up.

Lol, you don't have to jump around and move like an idiot to play. Besides, even with a conventional controller the most casual-gamers (Nintendo's target market) still jump around when playing with video games. That's why Nintendo made it like that in the first place.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Case in point: http://us.wii.com/soft_loz_tp.jsp Any of those videos.

I bet it will be a close race between ps3 and the wii, the 360 isn't anything special halo kept mircrosoft elevated for awhile but it wont be able to carry the xbox by its self.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The reason why I think the ps3 and wii are the only ones that have a fighting chance is because they have something to offer, like blue ray, and for the wii affordablity.

Just try playing it when it comes out before you make your judgments. From all of your posts about video games, you seem to be way too heavily influenced by outer aesthetics, and actual graphics of games. The wii isn't as gimmicky as you think it is. I can't speak from personal experience since I haven't played it, but people who have played it say it's extremely intuitive, and just feels natural. I don't see how you can think the idea isn't good. Who wouldn't want to take that next step into realism? It's so much more natural to play a game when you're one step further immersed into it through natural controls instead of just using your fingers, primarily one thumb. Things that were never before possible with gaming now can be.

 

 

 

So anyway, I'm basically saying to just take it for a test drive and make your judgments about it after you actually play it.

And in addition to why people is expecting so much of the Wii is because one main reason - the DS. People thrashed it before it came out. The touchpad is a gimmik, blah blah blah. PSP will own it cause of the video capabilities and 1337-455 graphics. What happened? DS has about twice of the PSP sold. And PSP is mainly for homebrew, so Sony can't even break even with the software.

Oh, that is so true. Homebrew is effectively the only reason half the people I know who own PSPs got one.

Wii has internet capabilites, and will support flash and maybe java (Runescape on Wii much? \ ) =;

lol. Just lol.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Its unfair to compare the Wii to the 360 and PS3. If you look at most Wii games their targeted at a younger audience. But it still has some of the best games.
