Which of the new three game systems will provail?

This sin't a VS. poll. Infact, it isn't a poll at all. I would like you to supply a valid arguement as to which game system will win the top selling achievement. I am also going to state my views on the new game systems. The PS3, the Xbox 360, and the Nintindo Revolution is what we will be reviewing.

The PS3-I expect this to win. Not to mention the charming good looks, the PS3's prosser is able to run an explosion on itself alone, not even using the garphics card. The prosser is one of a super computer. Although the price is going to be $465 (US dollars), it is going to be the best for its money.

The Xbox Revolution-This is an odd system yet. It is water cooled, which means it might sweat. Personally, I think it is going to be a $500 (US dollar) toilet.(game system included) Who is going to get up and refill it in the middle of a Halo party? Besides the fact of the water evaporating out of it, it is only going to have one good game, Halo 3. I don't see how Halo 3 is going to be that great just two or so years after Halo 2 came out. There is really nothing they can improve on in Halo besides new maps and enemies. I, and all my friends, really liked the Halo 1 multiplayer maps, and we were sad to see them change in Halo 2.

The Nintindo Revolution-Probably the coolest concept about. They are planning to use virtual reality glasses as the controller. The console will be about the size of three DVD cases. This, however, might mean a lack of power. It plans to use the room you are in to plan out maps for the game you are in. I really wish Nintindo would stick to hand healds. The Revolution would be a great buy if Nintindo didn't prefer to make childish games.

Please correct me if I am wrong, but I think that the PS3, though expensive, is going to be the best buy for a game console.

I'm led to believe the PS3 processes at 2 tetraflops? That's unimaginable speed, if it's true. If I was to buy one, it would definitely be the PS3, solely on the strength of the demo for it - they remade the opening sequence from Final Fantasy 7 (quite possibly the greatest game ever made :D) and it's stunning. And that was in-game graphics - I really do believe FMV sequences might be pushing photo-realism *drools*

I'll be getting a X-Box 360.

I think this generation will be closer than the last generation, PS2 came to the market first, and being backwards compatable sold fast, and many games to help support it. X-Box came out last and so had the advantage of being technologically superior, but also the disadvantage of no "Street Cred" this was quickly combatted by games like Halo and things like X-Box Live. GameCube is still to "My first console" for most actual gamers.

I think that the PS3 will have the same advantages of the PS2, that is a huge amount of customers behind it. X-Box 360 is countering that by having X-Box Live (mostly) free and straight out of the box. I think that Nintendo revolution has a lot to prove before most gamers will go for it.

PS3 will likely sell the most, but I expect 360 to continue the Xbox tradition of getting the top-tier games.

i've shunned PlayStation for years, getting an N64 and then an Xbox instead; however the power promised by the PS3 is making my pants shrink just thinking about it and i'm quite tempted to get one. Xbox 363 (such an awful name!) seems a pretty damn decent console, but it does pale in comparison to the PS3... if the latter actually delivers the goods of course.

so for me its a tie between Sony and MS - Nintendo don't even get a look in largely cos i'm just not interested in their games, as innovative and fun as they are. so for me its going to come down to the games the two consoles offer, and the pricing... and release dates. xbox is out before ps3 after all.


as for the market, ps3 will dominate all markets; xbox will come medium second in the West, and Nintendo will hold up the rear over here and the US, but beat MS's effort in Japan & the Far East. pretty much what we've seen with this generation, really

my bets are on the PS3
why?

the market share rigth now is
ps3 number 1
nintendo number 2
XbOx number 3

Ive seen nothing on the E3 that could change that order...in fact what I see is that the xbOx is doomed...its already on life support by Gates petroDollars...

nintendo will survive because it does not target the PS consumers(its for younger kids)...and the Game Boy is still rock solid.

Gates has never lost a power strugle...(IE, WMP, MSM, hotmail, etc)
but...can the Empire strike back once again?

I'm still playing my MegaDrive. Seriously. And as far as hand-helds go, you can't beat a Game Gear.

I'll probably do what I did with PS2, though - wait a year until I can pick up one dirt cheap in Cash Converters, and get the PS3 and either X-Box or Nintendo at the same time.

I've got a Nintendo 64 and a Gamecube and I'm happy with them. Getting a Revolution seems logical (I will wait until the price drops though; I'm not stupid).

I think when it comes to pure performance, the Xbox 360 when it launches will be the most up-to-date machine on the market, even possibly out performing the PS/3 and Revolution. However, by the time it's released, both Nintendo and Sony will be able to amp up their products to possibly make them better overall in performance, graphics and control.

The downfall of the Xbox is that its gaming library is too small, and that alone is enough to keep most people from investing in a new game console with little selection of what to play on it. Microsoft made a big mistake by trying to keep up with the industry by releasing a new console; they should've focused on releasing more games for a wider audience before developing their next generation of gaming console.

Since Nintendo focuses its audience mainly with the younger generations and the hearts of the older, it would benefit for keeping up with the current technology as well as bringing the old classics to disc format since cartridges aren't backwards compatible with the Gamecube on up. Backwards compatability is the way of the future, and if Nintendo doesn't capitalize on the popularity of their old school games on the NES and SNES, they might lose out on that older fanbase who still hoards their old school consoles in closets and garages across the world.

I still hold true that the PS/3 will be the future of the gaming console and that it has the ability to make or break the gaming market. The PS/2 has just about everything a gaming console needs, and in all honesty, the PS/3 isn't going to be that far removed design-wise... it's just getting a performance boost. Sony has a wide market, because they also have a larger gaming library and manufacturing contracts with game makers. Sony is the future.

Some false statements in the beginning(or at least not official).

Prices:

Neither PS3 or Xbox 360 has an announced price. Not that one was said, but Revolution doesnt either.

The Revolution will not use virtual reality glasses as a controller. All that is official about the controller is that it will be wireless, like all the other consoles. Its said the controller hasn't been set in stone, and ideas are being thrown back and forth, but it will defidentally be a conventional controller. The fact that it can play games all the way back from NES should signify that, if nothing else. You cant play an NES game with virtual reality glasses.

Anyways, Xbox 360 will probably win out. Its made its name, and now game companies are going to start migrating to it as an established console company. PS2 will lose out on its share, heavily. Xbox 360 is looking to have very similar specs to the PS3, except it has a better(ati) GPU. Its online capabilities look well established, while Playstation is sketchy, with mostly rumors.

Revolution will either be completely awesome, and be number one, or will be the worst out of the three, and take the same niche as usual. It will probably be much cheaper, Im guessing by at least 150 dollars.

I think they announced that at E3, if I'm not mistaken. I was just making an effort to highlight that. It's hard to buy a NES or SNES anymore, they're expensive on even eBay, as they're collector's items. Many of the games are popular, I mean, just look at the Zelda series! People snatched up copies of the Ocarina of Time Master Quest for Gamecube. Just imagine a Super Mario Bros. All-Stars version for Revolution; it'd be awesome!

I own a N64, and I'd even like to see Perfect Dark and Goldeneye on a CD. I'm currently in the process of obtaining a SNES from a NS friend, and I'm still searching for a NES and Sega Genesis. I have the games, just not the consoles, as they died years ago when my sister and I still wore and tore through them. I currently have a PS/2 and Gamecube (the latter I only bought to play Zelda games on as will be my philosophy initally with Revolution).

Actually, the PS3's prices HAS been released. Thank you for clearing up the Nintindo controller issue. I don't think people buy the Play Station for online play, as it will never be as good as Xbox live. There are rumors that the Xbox is going to try to push 500 or 550 US Dollars. As for games, what does Xbox have besides Halo?

Sony officials have said that the Japanese release of the PS3 will be less than 50,000 yen, or 465 us dollars. Thats not the US, nor a set price. An official estimate, at best. Anything else is rumors, for any other game systems too.

Xbox: Call of Duty 2, Perfect dark zero, Halo 3, The new final fantasy, just for starters.

PS3 will win, by far. The X-box chaps are trying to hurt PS3 by releasing Halo 3 on the same day as the PS3 comes out...and the PS3 people aren't the slightest bit concerned. They aren't even racing to get their product out by the holidays, because they are positive it will dominate the market so completely.

I know I'm buying a PS3. The X-box is an inferior machine with only one exclusive game that's worth playing (and I don't even think Halo is especially great), and Nintendo is fun and cool but simply doesn't have the power or range of the Playstation. My boyfriend has a GameCube, and we have plenty of fun playing Mario Kart and Zelda, but when we want some serious gaming we always switch to my PS2.

I have seen nothing that suggests the PS3 will be anything less than ass-whupping. I pity the poor folk who invest in the next X-box just so they can play Halo 3...I'll be enjoying my supercomputer, thank you very much :).

I think we have a PS fanboy here. The PS3 will be awesome and all and it sounds like it will be the better console, but come on. The X-Box is not an inferior machine. The first X-Box, though not the massive success the PS2 was, was the best of its generation of consoles, and it should be awesome this time around as well.

The first X-Box, though not the massive success the PS2 was, was the best of its generation of consoles, and it should be awesome this time around as well.
The XBox came out well after the PS2 and didn't have to compete with another new system, and it still struggled initially. Though I think, and this is really just fresh from my ass and what I knew of the hardcore gamers (some of who worked in the 'biz,' though that doesn't make what I'm going to say 'scientific') that it was really just hesitance that MS was going to put out something worth using. I have seen the slow migration of gamers eventually buying XBoxes, though, so I think out of the gate the 360 is going to do notably better then the original.

It always comes down to games. Halo can't be your only game, and I don't think that will be the case in the coming year. I'm not up on the wheeling and dealing of who has signed what with whom, but the games will make the difference. The machine can fly through time-if it doesn't have games you want to play on it it's just a time-traveling paper weight.

For me it's the PS, though there was a close call when Forza came out. I played it in a store and I don't like the arcadiness of the play, but to be fair-I played it in a store and that is no way to get a full impression of the game. Bonus' goes to actually being on-line instead of just promising to be (grrr) and having actual Posches like the 944 Turbo. Not enough for me to buy a whole new system for that one game. Racing sims still go to PS.

PS3 is making a large mistake letting the Xbox 360 come out first. For starters, third parties will move to xbox 360, as they will be able to get profit from it before PS3 even comes out. Third party equipment will come out first, fanbase will build up first. PS3 will get sales, but the first one out pretty much seems to win in sales now. PS2 > Xbox/gamecube, DS > Psp, etc.

The X-box is inferior to the PS2, by a significant margin. I've played both a ton, even played some of the same games on each machine, and the PS2 is always the better machine. I've also played GameCube a whole lot, because my roomies and I were hooked on several Nintendo-exclusive games, and even though there are things I really like about the 'Cube I still think PS2 is the better machine. I waited over a year after these systems came out before I bought one, trying them out, and there's a reason why the Playstation got my money.

Based purely on the technical specs, the PS3 is going to be far and away the more powerful of teh next generation, and will have far more awesome out-of-the-box features than either of the others...plus it will apparently cost LESS than the next X-box. This doesn't mean X-box is worthless or junk or pointless, just that it's inferior to the Playstation. X-box has some strengths, just as the 'Cube does, but the Playstation is the best over all.

Oh, and I'm not a boy :).

Wow... never guessed... Kewl.

I agree that the PS3 will be the better machine. they will be backward compatable which means that it starts off with a HUGE library and they don't need to update that library. so the cool games of yesteryear can still be played on the PS3.

the only thing that will kill the PS3 is the lauch performance. the Launch of the PSP was shoddy and sloppy. so if they're not careful, then the PS3 will die like the DreamCast... a great system but bad release killed the machine.

I've also played GameCube a whole lot, because my roomies and I were hooked on several Nintendo-exclusive games, and even though there are things I really like about the 'Cube I still think PS2 is the better machine. I waited over a year after these systems came out before I bought one, trying them out, and there's a reason why the Playstation got my money.

Based purely on the technical specs, the PS3 is going to be far and away the more powerful of teh next generation, and will have far more awesome out-of-the-box features than either of the others...plus it will apparently cost LESS than the next X-box. This doesn't mean X-box is worthless or junk or pointless, just that it's inferior to the Playstation. X-box has some strengths, just as the 'Cube does, but the Playstation is the best over all.

Oh, and I'm not a boy :).

Based on the technical specs? You mean how they both have IBM 3.2ghz processors, and 512mb total ram? I look for differences, and see that the Xbox has an ATI card, while PS3 is using an Nvidia. That tells me all I need to know.

I think Nintindo already said that they are going to release classic NES games to put on their Revolution.Also SNES games and N64 games. And since it can run Gamecube games it can play all Nintendo games from its 20 year history. So that's pretty awesome.

Oh, and if you think the Revolution's controller are VR goggles you are an idiot.

Thats not nessecarily true. There may be VR goggles for the Nintendo revolution, but they proberbly are not the only controller availble. There is proberbly going to be a normal handheld as the standard and VR goggles with games specificly designed for them.

Being realistic I suspect that the PS3 will win out, mostly because it is very 'bling' looking.

I own a gamecube and, for those who think it doesn't do 'serious' you haven't played Resident Evil 4. Personally I prefer insane colourful and fun games to the (rather crap) GTA games.

Revolution will probably be the best, just for online Smash Brothers as a release title but with only 3x the GC's power it won't draw in the casual gamer.

The Revolution will be strong enough to play doom 3, or half life 2. If people really think thats not enough graphical power for a console, then get one of the others. Honestly, I would rather buy a cheaper system, then pay for that 16x AA, 1600x1200 resolution or higher, dual HDTV 1080p capable system. I'll save my money for amazing graphics, instead of amazing +3.
