Wii - x360 - PS3

[orangat]

I am primarily a pc gamer but would like to know..
How do these 3 consoles stack up in comparison to hardware/performance and games??

 

[JDrake]

here's general consensus

performance
ps3 > 360 > wii

games
wii > ps3 => 360

bang for buck
wii = 360 > ps3

wii seems like it is going to be a ubiquitous system (seeing as how nintendo aims it to be an extremely DIFFERENT kind of console, appealing to partiers, non-lazy gamers, and nostalgic gamers), while PS3 seems to have an edge in sheer power. XB360 has been out for a while, though, which means its software library has had time to build up and gain third-party support. Also, PS3 is going to be $500/$600 MSRP for the first shipment, which is substantially more than what XB360 will be going for when PS3 comes out.

You couldn't be more wrong on the games, but that's my personal opinion. Your performance figure is pointless as well, since we haven't got a change to compare PS3 games to 360. Most thought the PS3 would completely own the 360, but judging by the gameplay showed at E3, they look about even right now. That's not to say the PS3 won't take the lead in a couple of years once developers get ahold of the hardware, though.

I will own a PS3 and Wii but not a 360. 360 wont have much on it that a pc wont, and I have a good pc.

Wii = best gaming library.

PS3 = most expensive but will have some games on it the other consoles wont for quite some time, MGS4 and GTA come to mind.

360 = gaming library???? HAHAHHAHAHHAH what a joke.

Garunteed... 3rd parties are goin for Xbox 360, Power and graphix are PS3. Inovation and fun(get off the couch fun) is Wii.

 

[UNCjigga]

I wouldn't stack them since they can all stand vertically, side-by-side.

Well IMO, the games for Wii suck, and I'd put it at the bottom
but I mean a lot of people say that's the only reason they get the Wii is for games, so might as well give them that category
and like you said, PS3 might = 360 in performance right now, but most likely will take an edge so ya

In my opinion, Wii > Xbox 360 > PS3.

PS3 > Wii > X360, PS3 has taken the idea of the motion capture in the controller so they take it this generation.

Nintendo has the best gaming library out of the consoles. Zleda, Mario, Metroid and more. PS3 has the second best then MS has the third best.

WTF are you blabbering about?

 

[Mrvile]

Wii looks like it's going to be a total hit or miss...if they do it right, it will be amazing. If not, well good luck Nintendo. The PS3 is basically a really nice computer, and the 360 is like a weaker but cheaper PS3.

Switch around ps3 and xbox 360 for games, but the wii has the most interesting games, a lot of xbox 360 games are out on pc.

When we have Microsoft AND Sony saying Wii will be a great thing to pair with their own system, Wii being the clear winner is a forgone conclusion...or is it?

Wii is not perceived as a competitor to either company (or they won't admit it), it's a complementary product. What they don't seem to realize, or admit...is that Wii can replace them in many market segments (underdeveloped segments), just not hardcore gamers who demand graphics powerhouses with GTA, Halo, etc.

the ps3 control can only detect tilting. The wiimote can do pixel by pixel on screen tracking, full motion tracking, and tilt, not to mention a rumble pack and on controller speaker for that extra "bang" from the gun IMO, the ps3 offers little that is remarkable when given the xbox360 for horsepower, and wii for innovation- both of which costs less.

The way I see the ps3 surviving is through awesome third party support, which will have a distinct advantage from Japanese game developers compared to the XBox because the Japanese love their RPGs and hate xBox. In the United States, it's definitely not as certain because we like our shooters, violent/sex-filled games, and sports titles, which is being delivered to the 360, but may see queal support if the ps gets broad based support. Most companies adopt a wait-and-see approach, kind of like when the PSP was released.

Once people start buying a PS3 or a 360 WITH a Wii regardless...then the Wii will be the clear winner. After all, money makes the world go round.

Hell, the Wiimote has its own speaker.

GTA4 on 360 wont be that bad, but the PS3 will still have better games.

PS3 tilt function is only good for mocking Sony.
