Resident Fascist Posted February 11, 2012 Report Share Posted February 11, 2012 [color=#daa520][b]/!\ Don't b**** about consoles you don't like, it makes you look like an uneducated idiot unless you have a good reason. By 'b****' I mean don't call it bad without a justifyable reason, something that isn't "durr I don't like it" /!\[/b][/color] Anyway, which of the current Generation of consoles do you like the most? My vote has to go to the PS3. If not only for it's Game Library and the fact it makes a ton of sense. For one, it's the only console out of the 3 without region lock, something that is essentially a kick in the balls for Gamers. For f*** sake, it shouldn't even exist. Next the fact is that the Online is FREE. I know the Wii has free online, but come on. PSN is absolutely nothing like the Wii's online so it's incomparable. And yes, I've owned an X360. And I have a wii. Unfortunately, I've beaten Xenoblade, so I have no more good games to play on the Wii except maybe the Last Story or Super Mario Galaxy 1. I really don't think the Wii uses it's potential in the slightest. For god sake, the now ancient PS2 has a better library of games because it's not filled with tons of sports games. And my opinion of the X360 is meh. Stop making Shooters, please. Oh, you don't have the good PS3 exclusives either so yea. Anyway, that's my opinion.

evilhorus Posted February 11, 2012 Report Share Posted February 11, 2012 I think they're all pretty much equal really. I owned a 360, got a PS3 because Ratchet & Clank + other things I don't remember <3 Wii intrigues me but I don't think I'd buy one. Also, the first question in the OP will inevitably break the rule somewhere in this thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flame Dragon Posted February 11, 2012 Report Share Posted February 11, 2012 This thread again. I've said this many times, PS3 is the best system to buy this gen. It simply offers a huge library of games. The 360 is a joke since it doesn't do anything that the PC/PS3 can't already do. The Wii is still my personal favorite though since the games I like the most are on it. But again I've said this all already http://forum.yugiohcardmaker.net/topic/162703-official-console-war-thread/ If you care to know what I was saying on the matter. I half want to lock this and say to use that thread, but it might have reached the point of being to old. Meh, this is fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UltimaSeekerX Posted February 12, 2012 Report Share Posted February 12, 2012 If handhelds does not count, then I go with the PS3 because its general performance and the fact the controllers are still easy to use compared to the others (Wii is ok since I own one). Its game rooster is quite varied (yet I haven't find a game which draws my attention yet) and it doesn't occupy much space (still more than the wii. Anyway, like Flame Dragon, my personal one is the wii because my favorite games are there (SMBB, i'm looking at you).

burnpsy Posted February 12, 2012 Report Share Posted February 12, 2012 The 360 is utterly pointless. I have all 3, and my 360 is just for stuff I couldn't find for the PS3. :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greiga Posted February 12, 2012 Report Share Posted February 12, 2012 I own a Wii that I hardly play except to leech points in Monster Hunter 3. PS Triple only has a few games and features I want. 360 is bad. Dreamcast all day every day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Archbaron Larry Posted February 14, 2012 Report Share Posted February 14, 2012 I prefer the PS3. Like Trollestia said, the only thing 360 can do that the PS3 can't is Halo, which I don't even like. Mainly, I play on my PS3 and PC, and I have a Wii, but don't use it much. I really only use it for Gamecube games now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J-Max Posted February 14, 2012 Report Share Posted February 14, 2012 Most multiformat games run better on the 360 so my Vote is with that. However there is a few exclusives for the PS3 that i want to check out too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Makο Posted February 14, 2012 Report Share Posted February 14, 2012 Gamecube is the best console ever imo. Aside from that, I was using the Xbox 360, but its discdrive broke, so the only reason I've been using it recently is for Serious Sam: TSE HD. Afterward, I bought a PS3, and have been using it ever since. Loving the free online, with our budget already being pretty thin. Feels a little more reliable, and is much more quiet. However, most of my friends, cousins, and other all play on the 360 FAR more often than the PS3, so I always feel really alone. :< As for comparing the two...well, I really can't. I mean, they both have their advantages and disadvantages, but I've never looked into them enough to make a proper comparison. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agro Posted February 14, 2012 Report Share Posted February 14, 2012 PS2 was the best. N64 was the second best. Anyway, J-Max is correct in saying that most multiplatform games run better on the 360. Why that is, I have literally no idea, it seems rather stupid to me. The counter to that is that PS3 has more and frankly better exclusives. Namely Heavy Rain, LittleBigPlanet, ModNation, God of War, Demon Souls, Ratchet and Clank, Resistance, Valkyria Chronicles, MGS4, etc. What's Xbox have in that departmen... Halo, Alan Wake, and Gears of War... yeah, that's not cutting it. Oh, and you want an example of how much better PS3's exclusives are? Here is a list of the top 10 games that a fan site for Xbox 360 made to try to convince PS3 owners to get one. http://www.planetxbox360.com/article_18356/10_Xbox_360_Exclusives_PlayStation_3_Owners_Desperately_Want Have fun with that list.

Lonk Posted February 14, 2012 Report Share Posted February 14, 2012 Wii had to be my favorite because I am a wiitaded fanboy. PS360 (PS3 and X-Box 360 combined) games are usually bad because they overuse sepia aesthetics and realism, two things that I find either A) cliched to the extent in where 7/8ths of the games on both systems are those two elements, the easy way out, and C) appalling (Twilight Princess was my least favorite Zelda game just because of those two predominant elements being the main focus on its concept, which kept me from actually enjoying the game). You can sue me, but I get bored and feel gothic when I play those kinds of games and look at the screen. It is why I hate those kinds of games with a passion, which leaves me to my natural disposition of being prejudice against the PS360. I liked Kameo on the 360, but the game was too short and left me at a cliffhanger with no word for a sequel yet. When I play a game, I usually expect vibrant colors, varied worlds and a concept that I can find appealing to me. Granted, I hate third-party filler games, but there are at least some respectable third-party games on the Wii, such as Rabbids Go Home and Sonic Colors.

All I remember is that I used it like on an average of 6 hours a day, and then it eventually started making really wierd rumbling noises when I turned it off, and got really hot. Then maybe a month later it completely gave out in me after accidentally leaving a Gamecube game on all day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
