READ THIS, you slack-jawed idiots, or THE NEW CONSOLE WARS, z0MG! - Page 37

He's obviously full of himself. "Nintendo has always seriously and steadily done the right thing?"

What he talks about there is the Nintendo philosophy, which I happen to agree with. Especially when it comes to new consoles; if you're not really adding anything new, then releasing new consoles is just a money-gouging effort.

The game I've been salivating over like an insane fanboy has a new site.

Not really next gen or consoley but seeing as this isn't big enough for a new thread

Penny Arcade's got game.

Is it the fleshreaper?

Maybe there should be a general computer gaming thread or whatnot for this kind of stuff.

Oh and Yoshi's Island 2 screens.

I'll be buying a Wii for sure. I MIGHT buy a PS3 when the price goes down. Depends what it has for games by that point, and how much the price goes down.

So far, I don't really see any justification for the PS3's price tag beyond technology that I don't really care about, and probably won't even be fully utilized in the period of time that the price is that high anyway. I guess we'll see what games they end up with.

The only system I'm really not too fond of is XBox.

I'm getting a Wii on launch day, as long as my local EB's stock holds out.

I'll pick up some upgrades for my PC in a few months, so I won't really miss a 360. And the PS3 is too much for my extremely limited income.

ZAKtheGeek · 08-31-2006, 11:48 PM

I still have to see if the Wii's innovation works out or if just becomes a crappy gimmick. I have hope, but I'm no fanboy (at least, I try not to be), so I'm not going to take that risk prematurely. I gambled with the DS and that worked out great, but still...

As for the Xbox 360 and PS3, I have little interest in them. My reasoning is simple: I have a computer that works fine for me; hence I have to use for those expensive products.

I'd personally want to get a wii. My brother wants to get a 360 mostly because it's out now and it won't have "games that only babies and 8 year olds play". Note that is what my brother said, not me. I think I'm gonna suggest that we both get our own systems. That way he can have a game system at his dorm room at UBC and I get a system at home that I can play new games as well as all my gamecube library of games on. Now if I could only work on getting a DS Lite....

Rundown time:

Xbox 360: has a few good games out and more to come. It also is nabbing Sony's exclusives one by one. And Dead Rising. Yay, zombie murdering!

Wii: Revolutionary. Seriously, the games look fun and original and I just hope I'll have enough room to play them in my tiny dorm. The fact that it will have tons of classic games and the standard Nintendo games make it worth while. I just hope that the games live up to the potential.

Sony: $600? Delays? Barely any units? Lack of interesting launch titles? Ripping off Nintendo and Microsoft? Pass.

Sega's lineup so far for the Wii.

Can anyone say "Hell yeah!"?

Also I present to you.... The Steering Wiil....
