Console Wars: 2007

[JUNKER]

Well, let me see. The 360 is in the lead right now, and The Wii is expected to outsell the 360 within the next few months, yet The Wii is still sold out everywhere I go. I haven't really tried out the 360, but it looks like there's plenty of interesting games on it. The PS3 has NO good games on it right now, and alot of games that were supposed to be exclusive to it are being ported to the 360. And I've heard many people say that the PS3 is a big nail in Sony's coffin, and I couldn't agree more. They're too worried about the hardware and graphics other than if the games are fun or not. Plus I heard that most of the PS3's that have shipped haven't even sold. And I heard on another message board someone say:

"I was discussing the PS3 with an employee of a local electronics store and he told me that people would come in and buy them and then days later return them when they realized they couldnt sell them for a large profit on ebay. The PS3 was over hyped and undersold"

Alright, now The Wii is obviously a huge hit right now, since it's still sold out 6 months after its release, and there's alot of great and fun games on it right now, like Excitetruck, Twilight Princess, TMNT (also on the 360, but not on PS3), Wing Island, and others. Plus there's a whole lot MORE games coming out for it that look promising as well, like Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Pilotwings, Bust A Move Bash, Prince of Persia:Rival Swords, Kororinpa: Marble Mania, Metroid Prime 3:Corruption, Alien Syndrome, Nights:Journey of Dreams, and Mario and Sonic:Olympic Games, as well as others. I'm predicting that Nintendo are going back to the top, Microsoft's gonna stick around, and Sony's shamelessly digging their own grave in the gaming world. Also, here's a good video I found to analyze the situation further:

Geometry Wars with a single player campaign mode? Yeah I'm not too excited about that. What's next, a Space Invaders RPG?

I'm just praying for some sort of online multiplayer. Geometry Wars is STILL the most played game on my 360.

Also, as for Sony being dead, I think that might be a little early to predict. I know a lot of people scoff at it, but Blu-ray is going to be a huge selling point for them going into the future. The games may not be there right now, but they will come. Remember, competition always benefits the consumer.

I'm not sure why the Wii keeps selling. I haven't turned mine on in months now. No reason to. Same goes with the Xbox360. This newest generation is so incredibly boring.

[Hidden_Darkness]

I agree with you joe, I also find the newest generation very boring which is why I do not own any of the 3 current system's.

Me too. Should we start a club called "The Haters of the New Video Game System Generation"?

I'd prefer it just be called "Teh Haterz LOL"
