After E3 which Next Gen Console Floats Your Boat

The news and goings on at E3 have been majorly interesting and it seems that there was one clear winner in the soon to be battle of the next gens,

Sony delivered an overpriced and reduced spec console that has 2 versions one with less features and lets be fair Joe public doesnt want to mess around with different versions of hardware, going down the Xbox 360 road on that score wasnt a wise move, as for the Xbox 360 itdidnt really grab my attention at E3 so that brings us to Nintendos funilly named Wii console, a console with many great games coming for it and the virtual console, which will massively please emulation fans. The thought of a lightsaber game/controller really grabs my attention.

Which system do you think most impressed at E3.?

Wii.

As exciting and dazzling as PS3 is, the Nintendo Wii looks like a lot more fun. Plus, at a third of the PS3's price, even my wallet is excited.

Actually b4 i was most excited for PS3 but after E3 Im gonna go with the Wii.

I was hyped on the ps3 and the Wii. Now I definitly want a Wii even more than a ps3. Again sony is going to lose a lot of people at launch cause of the high price. Maybe in 2008 I'll finally get a ps3 when the price goes down. I'm still even thinking on getting an xbox360. There's some games that are exclusive for it and seem really nice.

Wii definately

no contest - wii wins. ps3 is technically impressive but theres no way in hell that people are gonna shell out that kind of money.
add that to the fact there shafting uk customers yet again by not releasing the core system here, only the premium pack, and you can see why wii will win :D

Yes this is an interesting turnaround. I cringed at the idea when I first learned about Nintendo's Revolution. But now I am finding myself more and more drawn to it. So the Wii due to the fun-factor & affordable price gets my 1st place award.

I really want a PS3 though. And if it truly has Blu-Ray movie support built in, I would not mind spending the extra money.

Certainly Nintendo's wii (don't like the name change though). But as mentioned previously in a post the price of the ps3 will drop eventually (remember when Xbox first came out?) will probably get one in a couple of years but I am going to buy my Wii as soon as I can.
I can't even get excited Xbox 360. Hail the revolution!

Well i'm getting a Xbox 360 the core pack first whats nice is its still the same console lol unlike sony. So i if i want any of the other stuff i will just by the hard drive later and wireless controlers later. Then maby a Wii and by that time i might still have enough money for a PS3 lol.

I usualy wait about a year for the consoles to get all of the bugs fixed then i will buy a console but i think the 360 has been out for about a year thats one of the reasons i'm gonna get that first. Has anyone who has had it had any problems with it? or is it running great? i'll probaly pick it up next month or so.

Note to JmanUmmKay
yes Core pack of 360 is cheaper by hundred or so dollars
If u purchase the bundle you'll actualy save yourself the money on the HD and wireless controllers

The HD is like 120 bucks .. thats CNd cash but still man
Just thought i'd note that

Oh and to actualy post on this topic
I'm definetly goin with the Wii *cough* Revolution*cough*

Im getting all of them
thats the only way to see what console is the best

Yeah, I'm a die-hard fan of most video games so I will eventually have them all. I have the XBOX 360. I heard the first batch had some bugs but I just got mine (399.99 Premium Package) about a month ago and it works perfect so far. Emulates and plays most original XBOX games also which is a HUGE bonus. HALO 2 plays like a dream over XBOX Live on 360. I do like the 360 but as of now there are only a few MUST HAVE games. And I can't stand paying $60.00 per game.

PS3 definitely. Was gonna buy the Revolution too, but I would feel embarased to say I play with my Wii :rolleyes:
Just like the xbox, xbox360 only has one game I want... Dead or Alive!
I have DOA1 on PS1, DOA2 on PS2, but now they release each new one on an xbox... WHY!!! :(
Atleast if i do decide to buy a 360, it will now have two games I want: DOA3 & DOA4...

Glad I didnt wait a year for psp to be released in UK with 1.52 or 2.00. :p

The Wii is most exciting for me. Paying $600 for a system I already own (albeit with better graphics that a poor fool with a SD TV like me can't take advantage of) is not attractive. I can't wait to get my hands on some of these new Wii games.

360 for me. it's rumored that the 360 will have yearly price drops, just so xbox can screw ps3 even more. the price drops makes the 360 even more appealing.

LOL the one time i didn't do it ended up being better. I have a 1.5 too. I say that but i usually don't wait that long lol.

nintendo's Wii looks freakin awesome. warioware and zelda all the way.

hmm i think wii is the most practical but

ps3 will be best'


jman... my xbox has had no problems... and oblibion is amazin

To the guy who said they didnt want to buy a wii because of the name.......i feel sorry for you...your going to miss out on all the fun. =) Can't wait for Sadness and Mario Galaxy and Bob Ross's Joy of painting.....fun times.

I can not wait for the Wii. My friends will all get PS3's (like i was going to, but changed my mind to wii) and 360's. They will make fun of me at first, but soon they will all want to come to house house and play with my wii. :D

Wii For Me.
Still getting a ps3 but i think they screwed up their "cheap" pack way more than 360's crappy deal.

They're going to play with your wii? :eek: :p

Anyway, I also feel that the Wii will be the best, whereas before I thought the PS3 and Xbox 360 would blow it out of the water.

I am probably going to force myself to buy an Xbox 360 for Halo 3 because I am a die-hard Halo fan.

But the Wii still will probably come out on top. By the looks of it, it will provide the most enjoyment out of all of them. I'd love to play all those old SNES, N64, and GC games on a new system with a GC controller (lost/destroyed/sold most of my old systems and games). Plus, aren't they going to have a function for all those old games to play multiplayer over the internet?

The Wii's controller is also a very cool deal, at first it looked like a bomb ready to blow, but now that we've all had time to really look at it (as I'm sure Nintendo had to do for a while), it looks like it'll be loads more fun than a conventional controller. I also drool at the idea of lightsaber fights with the new remote. Nintendo has always been innovative in terms of the fun-factor and just plain playability (DS touch screen and now "remote" controller, there are plenty of others as well).

Edit: Oh, and the fact that you could buy 5... Wiis?... for the price of one PS3 and one Xbox 360.

Maby i will get the 400 pack in the end i'll probaly save more money. Its not so much the HD but the HardDrive is not included and that means no backward compatiblilty and storage space and the HardDrive is a hundered bucks.

Ima go with Wii as impressive, though I think that PS3 was incredible. Sony has a lot of problems to fix before I would even consider chucking out that 600 US $ (which will eventually happen...). I think at 250 $ a pop, Nintendo is going to make a killing. Smart pricing strategy and smart moves in general, I think Nintendo will come out on top.

I'm going to have to say, I didn't feel the least bit excited by the Xbox360 or PS3, from what I saw from both camps at E3. I knew for a while that I wasn't planning on getting either of them, but the whole price point of the PS3, and the lack of anything interesting for the 360 just made me write both of them completely off. Wii definately looked to be the best of the bunch. Innovative, fun, and still having pretty good graphics. I don't see how you could go wrong with the Wii right now.

LOL so far it looks like the general idea is everyone is going with the Wii.

And I will admit, I too am going to have to get a Wii (in fact im going to reserve one as soon as the option becomes available)

if the general idea around the internet follows what these 30ish posts did than i think Nintendo might become the overall winner of the Console wars once again.

VIVA LA REVOLUTION!!!

I've got the XBOX 360 and I've gotta say Wii. The PS3 promises a lot but has a high price tag and Sony have a reputation of not delivering But, the Wii looks fun, innovative and is cheap and cheerful, like my DS :D

Without doubt, the Wii is going to be the best next gen console imo. Sure, it may not have the graphical power of the PS3 or 360, but, that controller looks awsome, I cant wait to give it a try. Nintendo...... Whodathunkit ???

I'm getting a Wii & a PS3. I'm just not impressed with the 360. Wii will rock b/c of all the innovations; but I'm mainly after the emulation on a home console.
Yes- PS3 is outragesly over priced-but it will be the most powerful home console in the world. Plus I can still use it for my PS1 & PS2 games. Plus connectivity with my PSP!

HOLY S**T!!! Looks like the wii is winning hands down. I gotta say that I wasn't so sure about the controller at first (and traditionally I'm a bit of a power junky) but after seeing it in action. Wow. PS3 will win for the power stakes but although it's quite resonable the price puts it out of most peoples hands. whereas the wii - cheap, innovative, supports emulation.... and lets not forget Link.
I wanna play with my wii too.

my money burns my wallet. im getting my own room come the end of september so im buying atleast a 32" HDTV and then come november i shall be buying a wii and a ps3. Mgs4 in 2007 is going to rule aswell as i love my final fantasys and i dont see them jumping consoles anytime soon for their major releases.

ps3 rules however it is expensive, but if you can afford it buy it :)

I'm really shocked by the results of this little poll. I really thought on a PSP forum there would be much more support for the PS3. This doesn't say much for Sony right now at all. Way to go though for Nintendo, this curveball named Wii really seems to be the perfect move. The PS3 is amazing hardware, but amazing hardware costs a lot. There's nothing technically amazing about the Wii, which is why it can be so cheap and still be profitable. Really genius, who would have guessed it.

I have never been one to demand amazing graphics, I still spend hours on my snes playing super mario all stars on occasion and have a blast. And I am broke as heck so I'd have to go with a wii. I have been loyal to nintnedo for years now and they have yet to let me down. I have also heard that PS3 will most likely have tons of problems upon release and the games will be extremely over-priced. So I am gonna just start saving some money for myself and go out and get myself a wii

Wii looks great. Graphics aren't all that but I can imagine how brilliant the games are going to be. Gonna pre-order mine soon as possible. I might get an Xbox 360 at some point too, for all the flashy games. PS3.. well, I hate Sony so they can keep their crappy PS3. :P

lol by the votes so far nearly everyone will be playing on thir shiny wii on its rellease, as will i

GO nintendo!!

Any chance of an actual poll. (Although it looks like weve got a clear winner already!)

I used to think that the Playstation 3 looked incredible before E3 2006, but after E3 it looked more like a... tech demo, they didn't show any impressive games, they completely copied nintendo's idea because they were so desperate for ideas, and i could never shell out 600 USD. As for the XBOX 360, I really can't see the difference between XBOX 1 and XBOX 360. So nintendo wii it is. The wii hugely impressed me with the comtroller of the wii, so I will probably be buying that

:) :) :)
