Welcome to Gaia! ::

Discuss why you like console/handheld you prefer best.

EDIT: Out of the current gen. Please leave out Xbox, Gamecube, and PS2. This guild isn't about them. This thread is asking out of 360, PS3, and Wii and DS and PSP, why do you like that best.

Wii, it has kickass games and features, I love the controller. It was cheap. Everyone loves it. That's why.

PS2 cause well lets all face it. It was king of its time and even now its still taking cheap shots at the 3 new consoles from the statistics Ive read and heard. It has a massive library and it has never fail me and if I never shot my original one in the first place with a Nerf Bazooka, well I dont think Id be owning the Subway Diet One.

PSP isnt too hard to figure out, Sakyh said most of the stuff I was going to say anyways. All that and I use it to hold files or programs I need.

Im getting a PS3 simply because, once again, Sony has Never failed me and well....That thing is WAY beyond its time and its uber cool awesome looking.

Im getting a Wii afterwards simply because well, its the Wii. Nuff said.

I own a DS already. It has alot of games I like, but most of which are kiddy looking in comparison to the PSP. I like it for playing when Ive got nothing better to do.

I prefer the PS3 because the Playstation Brand has always had the type of games I like. Jak and Daxter, Ratchet and Clank, Sly Cooper, Metal Gear Solid, Kingdom Hearts, you name it. Those are the type of games that appeal to me and Playstation is the brand that has them. Also the HD experience is a very nice bonus since my parents got a 1080p HDTV back in January. The fact that I'll be able to install Linux too is something I love a lot, if I can get Video Encoders, with the Cell, they'll encode faster than I've ever seen any of my computers able to do.

I prefer my PSP because once again Sony just has the type of games that appeal to me. Blade Dancer, Guilty Gear, Daxter, Ratchet and Clank: Size Matters, Metal Gear Solid Portable Ops, Legend of Heroes, Aedis Eclipse, very nice games for me. And like others have mentioned I can hold my Music and Videos on it for on the go. I don't need an Ipod(Video)...unless I end up using a lot of Music and Movies, then I'll need it because of the space sweatdrop

Why the pessimism? The team behind Sly is still working for Sony...

The Jak series was a triology. The trilogy's done. They even gave us an inbetween-qul and a racing game. Jak's done. Uncharted is their new franchise.

I choose the Wii because I have loved Nintendo for a long time. Some of their games may cross certain people, but that is certainly not a problem. I have also been into Sega's games for a long time. Think Sega on Nintendo Vs. other consoles. Wii wins. Sonic 06 doesn't stand a chance. The Wiimote is truely awesome. Motion sensing really enhances a lot of games, and now parents must find someone else to blame for fat kids. The motion sensing is optional to games, so they really add to games, or in many cases have the whole game based around that. The Wii is also getting a whole bunch of exclusives I want. I might have gotten a 360, if I couldn't just play their games on a PC anyways. Then I learned about RRoD, they say PS3s are expensive but 360s aren't worth anywhere near $300 knowing that. I want to eventually get a PS3, but they are still too expensive, not enough bang for my buck. I'm not entirely sure what I would do with one either, not many games I'm really interested in.

Actually, I'm starting to believe that the DS is better than the Wii. What with its D/P and EBA and awesomeness. Not to mention it has the best online of all systems imo.
