Sticky: XBox 360 vs PS3 vs Wii

Well when I was deciding between an xbox or a PS3, I decided to ask some kids around school.

PS3 kids: Yeah, it's good. Reliable. You like FF right? A lot of FF games are PS3 exclusive.

360 kids: HALLLLLOOOOOO!!! MASS EFFECT!!!! What!? You don't like those games!?!?!? You fail!

That, plus the whole RROD thing, my decision was clear. I'm sure the newer 360's are just as good as the PS3. But I believe that the 360 fan base is the next thing that needs a makeover.

Honestly the PS3 fan base is the worst of any of the three major fan based. case in point, is the fact that PS3 fans bitched at X-play because they gave Killzone 2 The great PS3 exclusive a PERFECT score...and the fans still bitched at them. When games are ported from the PS3 to the 360, the PS3 fan base makes Petitions, while the 360 fan based shrugs. All in all the best example of the darkest pits of the PS3 fan base...are resident PS3 religous fanatic, Death (and no not me, I'm known as Reality in the forums. )

Again the PS3 cannot play FF 10,10-2, 11 or 12, that is the new one can't, the very first models can...as for those before, on the PSone...I'd rather just buy a PSone or PS2 than to play a PS1 game on a PS3, because it makes the images look awful...

Halo 3 is over-hyped. though its still fun to play online...never played Mass Effect..I want to..Bulletwitch to me, is at least one worth renting to try out. Blue Dragon is a b***h, but fun. There are more....but I can't think of them at the moment in my time of mild tiredness..

the RRoD issue, yes the old ones are at the highest failure rate, while the newer ones are slowly getting better at not going RRoD, its still currently a problem. However I've know lot of people who still play Launch Models, those with the highest chance of RRoD'ing with no problems, so its not as horrible as a lot of people make out. in the end, its a matter of luck...

Well I mean the fan base around school...with everyday kids. Not some 28 yr old fan boy. But I guess what I mean with the whole FF thing, is that they'll be made for the PS3, not the 360...

First I'm 21 years old, and don't compare me to the fan boys, who are all the same. I play a console for fun, and all three consoles have fun games, so damn it in the fun factor they are equal.Second, in truth Final Fanatasy 13 is being made for the 360 as well. and as from Final Fantasy itself..it startedon the Nintendo Entertainment System, and the series has never been just a Playstation exclusive, though the majority is on it..

Eh', I only have one system (XBox 360 Hawtness here! blaugh ) but when I was choosing my next gen system It was a big toss up. For me it was a matter of durability, games and price. When thinking of something that would last me a long time the toss up was Wii and PS3. When thinking which system had the most established library of proven games it was 360 and PS3. Finally in price it was the 360 and Wii. Since the Wii and 360 were two for two I just flipped a coin and it landed on 360. Haven't regretted it since but I always wonder would I have been happy with the Wii and it's beautiful Fire Emblem game I so want right now. Sad I only want it for one game but still.

idk i like the wii the most
