Ok, so this is probably a stupid question but... What are the best consoles?

I know some are:

PS3
Nintendo Wii
Xbox 360
PS2
Xbox
Game Cube

What else?

Also what are some hand held?

I know some are:

PSP
Nintendo DS
Nintendo Game boy Advance

Thank you

2nd PS3 is no doubt the best and people can shut up about the price. Wii does have its games but many of them are not ported to them.

Same goes for PSP

Could you state why, in your opinion, they're better?

There's no way this topic will end well. Everyone's a fanboy.

Fine, Fine because I don't want my image to be in hypocrisy.

You know I was gona say this but graphics overwhelms the wii.

PS3
Cell Broadband Engine (3.2 GHz POWER-based PPE with seven 3.2 GHz SPEs)
218 (approx) GFLOPS
50 MHz RSX (based on NVIDIA G70 architecture)
74.8 billion shader operations per second
Distinct Pixel & Vertex Shaders, SM3.0
HDTV-capable (480i, 576i, 480p, 720p, 1080i, 1080p)


Nor am I a Wii hater or PS3 hater but to comparisons you always know sony ranks 1. I like both systems. I like wii for the controller and its games while I like PS3 for its incredibilities but out of the 2 or 3 PS3 still ranks first.

Alright, I'm going to fix the grammar in that post for you.


You'll notice I italicized a sentence in there. When you use a pronoun, you typically are referring to the last noun you used. So that last sentence without all the pronouns reads, "Wii does have its games, but many of the games are not ported to the games."

Care to rephrase that sentence, with proper grammar this time?

Despite what you believe, graphics don't make a good game. Case in point, the Super Nintendo and Sega Genesis.

My status on this topic leads me to say that my first action and my second action is going to widely effect the future posts of this topic...

I also forgot to mention that people do have there opinions and can freely choose to stick with that.

The PS3 has problems right now. despite graphics, it will suck more than Xbox 360 right now because it just came out. programmers arent that used to the ps programs right now. while Xbox has been out for almost a year, which programmers will make better games. I have to say, if FF series goes to Xbox, many sony fans will switch over to Xbox.

Oh, but you can just declare something the best without a true arguement.

but that makes it inconvincing, and to others it may offend them.

Okay, so you have 8 processors, makes your game really fun, doesn't it.
218 approx GFLOPS in a perfect environment. It will never reach anything near that. And only 6 processors are used for the game, BTW.
500mhz RSX, big deal. It doesn't have enough VRAM, only 256mb, giving the 360 the advantage.

Uh, distinct pixel & vertex shaders are bad. Unified ones are better, which the 360 has, and PC video cards are starting to have.
SM3.0, noice... too bad SM4.0 is out and the 360 has that too. I'm not going to compare the Wii, because it's really just personal preference.
And the HDTV crap..? I don't have a TV over 17 inches and not that many people have a really nice(expensive) 1080p HDTV

Wii FTW.


EDIT: Woah, I totally screwed up a setence.

Did Nintendo ever release the system specs for the Wii?


That's true. My parents had to replace our old 15 year old clunker, so they did get a nice DLP 50-inch 1080p Sony. Most people aren't rushing out to buy HDTVs, but most are replacing current TV's with HD sets. And that isn't to say these are 1080p sets, either.

Yeah.. DS is pwning the PSP in terms of sales......by A LOT. Thats overall sales and sales on a week to week basis.

Your opinion is wrong............(how can opinions be wrong uhh look an elephant!)


Yeah...about that...
Fun > Graphics.
A lot of new fun for $250
Or a lot of old fun for $500

Wow thats a hard choice! New Fun FTW!!


Who cares?
Same games plus more people......errr... uhh.... I guess if you find that fun. I want games that feel fresh and feel different. Not just look different.

I already posted my claims of reason but yes I had said it was near to bias


But I'm going on hiatus with this topic before it gets out of hand.
Others can continue with the discussion.

How is this topic getting out of hand? People are only showing you up.

I love how nobody has even mentioned as a specific example of a game yet.

Zelda pwns. It feels really neat not having to hold a controller. Just swing your wiimote and nunchuck and your sword comes flying out. Move the nunchuck in a circle and you do a neat attack.

Swing the wiimote and you attack.

That stuff just makes you feel more.... "active" and "in the game".

Then theres aiming which just couldn't be accomplished on the Ps3 or 360.
-----
Boxing on Wii Sports is great....another thing that can only really be Wii Specific.
-----
In golf and bowling it will actually pick up your natural curve which is awesome.
-----
I wanna check out Red Steel and CoD3 for the aiming on the Wiimote. I hear it's awesome but takes some time to get use to.

i wish they really made FPSs in Wii. that would be so cool =/ I can't wait for the metroid on wii to come out <_<

Red Steel and Call of Duty 3 are both FPS.

There already are a few.

Far Cry: Vengeance.
Red Steel.
Splinter Cell: Double Agent.
Call of Duty 3.

"This article or section contains information about an unreleased computer or video game.

Far Cry: Vengeance isn't out yet ~.~

Splinter Cell is third person, too.

Yes it is, the article needs updating. It was a launch title.



It's still a shooter.

I like the PS3 better than the 360 and the Wii. Yes its price is more but thats not the deciding factor in anyones mind. The PSP is also the best handheld. THe DS is good but too bad the games are for 4 year olds. I have the PS2 and the PSP and the PS1. I like them, will always stay with Sony. Microsoft has bough the rights to the name of the XBOX 180 for its handheld that looks a lot like the PSP but for XBOX.

Have you ever looked through some DS titles? Fire Emblem is not for 4 year olds. What's the deciding factor in your mind? The fact that it has the worst launch titles?

Advanced Wars DS? For kids?
ELITE BEAT AGENTS, FOR KIDS? Well maybe that one

But yeah, the games on the DS are fun.
It's great to know that you don't buy consoles for their fun/price, but you buy them for the brand. For all you know, this is the last console that Sony makes, so have fun
