I dont even play that many games anymore but I have had the chance to play all three and would like to chime in on what the current situation is like.
1. The wii. I went to a launch party in Japan yesterday where they let the public come and play the games...even ones that arnt out yet like metroid prime and mario. I played Mario, boxing, metroid, Tony Hawk, tennis, and some stupid insect game. Now for a while I have been saying "the wii looks interesting and I love their ideas, but i will not pass judgement or even think of buying before I try this thing out. This could be awesome..ok..or jsut sad". Let it be known that I am also a lover or nintendo games. I dont own a gamecube but I love smash brothers and dont mind the gamecube at all. To be frank i am not wowed at all by the wii and infrank i am dissapointed. I think if it was less hyped i wouldnt be but at the moment its a bit of a let down.
First off boxing...yeah it was kinda fun...kinda. Its fun for a little bit but its nothing indepth. I know the games arnt suppose to be but its not that respsonsive. Yeah you can be pretty accurate but me and others wernt always landing the things that we were doing with our hands. Tony Hawk wow wow wow what a let down. This is what I am really worried about. Its just nto right to play a game like tony hawk with the wii remote...the main drawing point of the system. I could land tricks but it was too easy..anyone mashing the buttons could do it. Turning isnt that great..yeah i got use to it but its not going to be a precises as a controller is..ever. I love tony hawk and can pull crazy tricks on 1 2 and 3 but this is just not gonna work that well. Mario was fun but I think thats just more people of the cool graphics and well...its mario. I dont know what it is about mario but if you put him in a game its already more fun to me. Racing...omg its mario racing its good..fighting ok..omg its mario fighting imma play..soccer..tennis..golf..whatever...its just fun lol.
Really to review what I feel about the wii is that its just not what its cracked up to be. I know graphics arnt there thing but they could have upted it up JUST a little bit more and it would have helped..they seriously have a lot lacking. I think the controller is pretty gimicky and people might get the feeling of that after the initial fun of it wears off. After the controller gets old now you are left with a under powered system. dont get me wrong..theyare gonna make a ton of money, the games for the system will be fun..there is online play..and its not gonna die..its just a bit dissapointing so far.
2. Xbox...What can you say its just going well for them. Seriously I hate my regular xbox..I never play and it sat in my room for years untouched except for DDR once and a while. the 360 has a lot going for it. Gears of War is awesome and they have a good lineup coming out that should help their sales as well. They have a nice expansion for HDDVD guys that ALSO works on the PC! They have a really nice feeling controller...awesome online support, great graphics..and a growing comunity. THey dropped their price to 300! Thats killer! 50 more bucks from a wii and you get a huge harddrive, and A LOT more powerful machine.
3. The Sony PS3. Ok..I have never owned a sony system in mylife. Not because i dont like just because i never got into it. I had a NES, a SNES, Sega Saturn(which kicked major ass i dont care what u guys say), and then an xbox. all my friends have sony consoles so i had my fair share of play on them. I was never cheering on sony to fail..infact i wanted the 360 to fail more then anything else. But wow..just wow..I think the managers of sony have a serious serious case of group think going on. How they make so many mistakes..just how. Almost all of the game suck at launch..and some dont even look like a ps3 game(gundam wow). They cant get enough out at launch because of the fricken cell and blu ray. They will never be able to get the footing they need by xmas. I think that sony has a chance in the long long run of things if they catch some breaks but they are so dead this xmas its not even funny. First the bad games, then the no down scaling for people with older HDTVS, then the not so great online system, no rumble controller, no wifi for the core system, and 600 dollar price tag.
If the games for this thing were awesome maybe it would turn out ok..and thats why it might be ok later..but right now..just wow.
I ramble..I am bored doing homework..this is just my thoughts...i know no one cars..

Wii bit of a dissapointment
Xbox is golden
ps3 is a black sexy pile of crap.
