Wii Vs PS3 Debate

[eirepro]

Here's The Article I published on The 'Wii vs PS3' Debate on my website, Its my Opinion, but your entitled to your own, so have it here

PS3 vs Wii : I'm so sick of PS3 fanboys telling ME the PS3 is whopping the Wii, or that it is better, one person actually tried to tell me it was 'hotter' than the Wii. I'm not kidding, someone used that against me in an Argument. What on EARTH does that have to do with anything. How can a foot by half-foot slab of plastic and data-reading chips be 'hot', 'sexy' or 'bootyliscious'? People who are attracted to the physical appearance of a games console should be shot point-blank, execution style, to kill. Let's look at the figures, at The Time Of Me writing this article the Wii has sold 1,118,675 units, the PS3 has sold a lowly 352,108 consoles (Courtesy of Nexgenwars.com). Also what is up with this Blu-ray thing. It's the 'future'. It sounds to me that Sony has ran out of ideas to improve their games, so they are selling us stuff we have never heard of to make up for it. "Oh, It makes the Games soooo realistic" - Classic Fanboy phrase. There are two things I hate about this. If I wanted to do things 'realistic' I wouldn't be playing a Playstation, I would be outside doing them. Not inside salivating on 'realism' in a video game. If I am supposed to be impressed by a Ã?Æ?Ã?â??Ã?¢ââ??¬Ã?¡Ã?Æ?ââ?¬Å¡Ã?â??Ã?£425 price tag for a video games console? How about a type of graphic reading ray I have never heard of? Throw in Short supply, delayed Europe release dates, the systematic destruction of Loyal Sony customer's satisfaction and the insulting, ignorant and inane actions of Sony fanboy's and you have Sony's latest product. The Wii may have a name that sounds like another word for piss, but the people who use that as a point in an argument aren't exactly the type of people who are mature enough to actually own a games console outside the Leapster L-MAX Family. Well I'm finished ranting because I actually believe if I keep writing I will persuade myself to kill a PS3 fanboy. They may believe in a futile system that will go the way of the Sega Dreamcast (which the PS2 killed, ironically) if I have any say in the matter, but at least they voice their opinions (Even if all their main arguments include the words LMAO, LOL, The Wii is pure 'dairt' and OMGROTFLMAOLOL, L0L, 'it means piss') (2/12/06)

Maddox owning sony...

I'm with you when I say that I'd rather get the Wii over the ps3. Even though it's not as technologically advanced, and the pointer (the controller that you aim with, etc.) needs a bit of improvement, it's gonna be way more fun than the ps3 and it's cheap as dirt. Plus who gives a shit if it "doesn't have as good graphics." I'd even much rather get the 360 over the ps3 because a)gears of war, b)graphics are pretty much ps3 quality, and c)it's much cheaper as well.

Not taking either side, I want both of the systems... but your just making yourself sound like a nintendo fanboy dude.

Bluray isn't gonna make things more realistic, the content that gets put on it will. And your statements about not wanting things to be realistic is just retarded... one because a disk isn't going to make games more realistic and two because game developers can make games as real as they want. Tell me you wouldn't want to play a game like FFX where everything in the game looks exactly as it is in real life? The price... you think Sony want it to be that LOW? I'm not at all trying to take sides but, you getting a gaming platform PLUS a decent computer for 500-600 dollars. The wii your buying a modified gamecube, i read somewhere it costs them like 150 to make. If you wanna get technical your getting ripped off like 100 dollars buying a wii and getting a bargain buying a PS3. Short supply happens with every game console, you can't get a wii or ps3 in the states unless your crazy and go all out.

 

[Jordan Jasa]

The Wii would be a fun change from a regular controller, but offered the chance of a free PS3 vs. Wii, I would pick the Sony any day.

 

[Brian Boston]

At the moment i wouldn't. Wii is kicking ass right now... once Grand Turismo HD, MGS4 and GTA4 come out Wii's games aren't going to be able to compete in my opinion.

That new warioware looks pretty crazy for wii right now.

yeah, that's the only real problem I have with the wii, I just don't think it's games are going to be as good as those of the 360/ps3 such as gears of war, mgs4, etc. Even though fps games are probably going to be fun as hell on the wii...

 

[thelordsven]

Once super smash bros brawl comes out people will stop leaving their houses.

My opinion is that Sony just doesn't know how to make a system they just know how to pay gaming companies to make good games for them which isn't actually that dumb and i had a ps2 because of it.
My ps2 is broke now and my friend broke 3 of his before he finally got a slim one when they came out
not to mention that their cooling fans don't actually cool down the system.

Nintendo has only failed a few times at making systems (virtual boy wost selling system ever and gamecube in my opinion anyway) and the gameboy sp was one of the highest selling products a gaming company has made.(although i wish they would have just made the gba like that in the first place or the ds and then making a ds lite instead just making it right in the first place). I just wish that they would start making better games it seems like the only 2 games that actually get better every time is super smash bros and Zelda games but idk i cant wait for some more wii games to come out though cause even if i still prefer duck hunt over them they are still fun.

I ain't a Fanboy, I'm just a Video Games Enthusiast.

Modified Gamecube? Since When Does Gamecube have Web Hookup, Motion Sensing, and Well, I'll admit the Graphics (Which I really couldn't care less about) a A HUGE step-Up From The Gamecube). And I'm not saying that the Blu-ray makes things More realistic, I'm saying thats a phrase that PS3 fanboys always say to me. And The price of a PS3 being low? I'll admit, they Must be doing something well to stick a 1000 pound (cash, not weight) chip, into a 425 pound console, but so? Its not like it'll make your life complete or smite your enemies (if that were possible, I wouldn't be here right now...). Its a Chip, which is put inside you games console. Which does something I'm not sure If I even know I care about anymore. Thats The Truth. Do I care? I'm so confused about it now. (Note: I am feigning confusion to outline how complicated the Blu-ray has gotten, with everyones Conflicted views on the matter) Each of the Consoles have Something exclusive to them.

• XBOX 360: A year head start, (Some people would stick Graphics in here, But It really is competing with the PS3 on that one

• PS3: Graphics, or whatever the Blu-ray brings to the Table (Higher Graphic Capability?)

• Wii: Motion Sensing Controllers (Mine is working out perfectly, No Probs)

Also, The 'problem' you listed on the Wii (Flying Wii-motes) is the consumers fault. I don't know of any programming Glitch that would make a controller jump out of my hand and flatliner my TV.


Basically to put it short: I can't afford a PS3, I know very few people who can. My Brother is getting a 360, I have a Wii, The PS3 is the only one we won't have, and well, do I want one? Damn Shizzle I do. Can I afford it? Is it easy to Get? Am I guranteed NOT to be shot/robbed/pwned (Yeah, I dunno Why I put Pwned in there either) for purchasing one? NO Things are different in Ireland, We have two good consoles out and not many people are gonna wait til March for a 3rd more expensive one.

To Quote Maddox (Who I have to say, In all honesty, He was the one that gave me the idea to write my article, by reading his 'Sony Hates you' article, his humorous quips, and snappy answers have kept me amused for many a night):

Tough shit Sony. We've moved on. We're dating your younger, hotter sister, Wii. Even your fuglier step-sister, Xbox 360, looks hotter than you do. At least she's been around the block a few times and knows how to turn tricks. You've got nothing, and it's going to stay that way until you stop being a crabby old c*nt.

And I asked you, Please, Don't Pick apart my article, because I don't wanna get into an Arguement. I just wanna talk about video games.

 

[Brian Boston]

Since you don't want me to pick apart what you just said i won't but i really want to haha. But im gonna argue about this...

Since When Does Gamecube have Web Hookup

Gamecube has had a web hookup for awhile, http://www.nintendo.com/online/index.jsp.

• XBOX 360: A year head start, (Some people would stick Graphics in here, But It really is competing with the PS3 on that one

• PS3: Graphics, or whatever the Blu-ray brings to the Table (Higher Graphic Capability?)

• Wii: Motion Sensing Controllers (Mine is working out perfectly, No Probs)

About x360 and ps3s graphics, at the moment their competing but x360s graphics probably weren't the best when the system came out, i hate when people compare the 2 when developers have more experience with one console than the other. Give PS3 a year and than compare the graphics. So i would throw that argument away.

Yeah, Wii has motion sensing, so does PS3, the six axis.

 

[eirepro]

The Wii is a Nice simple system. Theres no complicated Dimensional Knowledge needed, you don't need a lot of intellegence to use. The SIXAXIS, seems kind of useless to me, Its just kinda, lame. I really couldn't care less about it,b because it serves no really useful purpose in my mind, unlike the Wiimote.

Also, You seem quite happy comparing the Nintndo to the PS3s raphics, even though Nintendo are the Gaming Senior to Sony. I know the Graphics aren't that good, bu frankly, I'd rather have a fun time playing a good game like Nintendo 64s Mario 64 than some really well Graphiced up game. Take the Ocarina of time (Zelda) voted 'Best Game Ever' by many polls the World over, The graphics on that game were pretty bad, even for the time, but the Gameplay, was better than pretty much anything ever seen before.


Anyway, No one should have to explain or Defend their 7th Generation purchase to anyone, and I don't think the 'debate' is even contributing anything to gaming. Its just making a lot of people seem stupid.

Anyway, when I created this thread I hoped it would be used for Wii related talk, not a PS3 vs Wii Debate.

 

[josh gummersall]

you are RETARDED

six axis wireless means that the motion detecting systems detects motion on six axes. not that fuc.king complex dude. you turn the controller in flight sims or racing games like you would a race car wheel or flight controlling joystick.


pretty simple if you ask me

Lol I was unaware you needed knowledge to know how to tilt a controller, its the same concept as the Wiimote, so your contradicting yourself.

Anyway, when I created this thread I hoped it would be used for Wii related talk, not a PS3 vs Wii Debate.

You were comparing the different consoles in your article, someones gonna come at you for it.

 

[Gnome]

the answer to your question.

 

[Jordan Jasa]

and I don't think the 'debate' is even contributing anything to gaming. Its just making a lot of people seem stupid.

I disagree. People will see all these arguments, see what the hoopla is, and buy a console/game. But video gaming is big enough I think.

 

[thelordsven]

the reason i would agree that the tilt in the ps3 controller is pointless is because they had to take out the rumble to do it and think about the games most games on the ps3 would be better with rumble than they will with this tilt thing

 

[Brian Boston]

Sony was sued for patent infringement with the dual shock controller. Im sure thats one of the reasons why they didn't put it in the PS3's controllers, and the motion sensing probably contributed to why they took it out too, but im sure they could have had both motion sensing and vibrating features in their controller if they just worked out the issues. Its not like the controller is vibrating so violently it causes you to move so much it would effect how you have the controller tilted.

Listen 'fanboy' this is the exact stuff I was talking about when I stated the agressive and inane actions of the PS3 Fanboys out there. The Design of a PS3 SIXAXIS controller is completly unsuitible for motion sensitive play, at least the Wii's controller design is suitible for mo-sense play. Ohh, But what do I know, apparently I am 'retarded' for not knowing what the 6 degrees of freedom are, I better go brush up on my physics, no, actually, I prefer being a 'retard'. Now, I'm not one to get steamed up over a games console, but when someone calls me retarded, well, I kinda take offence. But I digress. Infomation on the 6 axis can be found here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Six_degrees_of_freedom
If thats the Basis of their controller, I don't even want to know...

You see, before you go claiming Downs on me, lemme just say this: I understand FULLY what the PS3 was trying to do, make a controller that lets you move Backwards, frontwards, to both Sides, up and down (thats the Six axis, I know my stuff, well wikipedia knows its stuff, I just learn from it.) but they made it too complicated when they began labelling their products with the names of Scientific Theories, (coming this Christmas, the PYTHAGORAS-N Dual-Shock Steering Wheel Attachment, all the fun of Racing, with almost TWICE the Math Class!Sorry, I couldn't help myself) Anyway, whilst my point is a weak one, Geometry is something I don't like to think about.

Now, this is a Wii Thread, not a PS3 vs Wii Thread, I'm not happy Arguing with people over my personal Favourite, but hey, If you guys wanna keep at me, then I'm stating Right Here, I tried to stop this Argument, 3 Times. So, Can we stop talking about the PS3 vs Wii argument, and talk about the Wii? I'm sorry, I just wanna stay on the Straiht and Narrow and not fight with anyone.

 

[Jordan Jasa]

so whats the best Wii game right now?

First post:

Here's The Article I publishd on The 'Wii vs PS3' Debate, Its my Opinion, If you don't agree with it, then please don't pick it apart, just entitle me to my free speech:

PS3 vs Wii :

Suggestion - change title of thread to Wii vs PS3 and make a new wii thread and don't compare Wii to anything. Sounds logical.

 

[thelordsven]

i would say the best game out right now is Zelda but i haven't got a chance to play to many. personally I'm just waiting for Super Smash Bros Brawl to come out cause that will be the best.
