Cheers

Why would anyone want a crappy wii?

Hawkeye_a · May 10, 2006, 06:37 PM

Ignore him guys. just place your vote

Cheers

Note that you can choose more than one console in this poll. That is a good thing.

Hawkeye_a · May 10, 2006, 06:46 PM

Yup. i didnt know we could actually do that, when i saw it, i thought it would make more sence given the tech-savvyness of the ppl here

Kerrigan · May 10, 2006, 06:53 PM

Why ignore the issue that games on the Wii are indistinguishable from GC games? Just look at Mario.

TETENAL · May 10, 2006, 07:13 PM

I'll get the one that has the official Formula 1 simulation.

Not that GoMac or Hawk need it. If they buy anything other than Nintendo Mario cries.

i like the new controller by Nintendo

I like all three for different reasons. I think I'm going to try and stick with the 360 and Wii this generation. I don't think I would only want the Wii however, because I'm sure you would end up getting screwed in the long run.

If I absolutely had to only get one, it would probably be the PS3, which is funny, because it's also probably going to be the only one I don't buy.

If the Wii is under $300 and the reviews and graphics are better than they are now I might consider it.

If I had taken this poll 6 months ago, I'd say the PS3. But after finding out the price of the PS3 and now that more info has come out about the Wii, I'm seriously considering going with Nintendo. I'll probably get the Wii and wait a few years when the PS3 price drops and then pick it up.

Lateralus · May 10, 2006, 08:23 PM

Assuming the 360 gets a price drop in the fall, I'm probably gonna have to go for one.

I am hearing some similar thoughts on other forums, although many are saying, yeah forget the PS3, but get the Wii... in addition to the Xbox 360 they already have been enjoying for 6 months. Two game consoles for the price of one, as it were.

The (not so) shocking part is that I see lots on the Playstation-oriented forums that are shifting away from the PS3 too.

I really wonder what's happening in Japan. I think the Xbox 360 will gain market share, but will still remain low there. Nintendo will really gain there methinks. The PS3 will still sell a lot of units, but will have nowhere near as big a share as I had originally been thinking.

I'll probably be getting an xbox360 sometime this week or next. I highly doubt I will be buying a PS3, but I guarantee I will be buying a Wii.

I cannot wait for the Wii. In my opinion, it is by far the most exciting thing to come out in video games in recent memory.

Isn't it strange how desperate SWG gets the more everyone doesn't like the Playstation?

For the record, I voted Wii and XBox 360.

Kenneth · May 10, 2006, 10:00 PM

I picked the Nintendo Wii... even tho I own the xBox 360.

I'm getting a PS3. In fact I'll be pre-ordering it as soon as the local EB Games starts taking orders. Mostly just because I'm a Sony fanboy (Only their video games though, not TV's, not DVD player's, and especially not camera's).

I had a PlayStation withen a month of its release.

I drove (or had my Mom drive rather. I was too young to drive at the time) to Toys-R-Us in an other state to pick up a PS2 withen the 1st month.

I was number 3 on the pre-order list for PSP's at the local EB Games. Their list was several pages long.

Am I a fanboy? Yes. Do I care? Of course not!

Nothing wrong with that. You're allowed.

The Sony fanboys will continue to buy the PS3s. What the issue for Sony though is that they can't just depend on the fanboys to make the PS3 successful. The pricing has the potential to alienate a lot of fence-sitters and casual gamers.
