The Xbox 360. Reasons:

1) I got one out of sheer luck and a major hole burnt in my pocket.

2) Graphics.... Beautifully rendered.

3) I like supporting the domestic market.

4) Call of Duty 2. Shooting Nazis never has been so detailed...

5) Superior frame rate compared console to console.

Cons:

1) Few available games.

2) you have to burn an upgrade disc from xbox.com to play original xbox games.

3) No Zelda games. This applies to the PS3 too.

4) Clockworkz right. Mine was a little buggy. Fixed though.

(uber bumpage indeed... but that means I can post on it. ^^;... sorta...)

(that and we're coming closer to the actual release of those consoles (Xbox 360 IS released afterall) so a good bump is in order)

Well anyways... I'm voting that I like the Revolution the best because it looks like a nifty gimick. ^^ (This is more or less my reason for likeing the DS more than the PSP too... )

The gimmick is that the Revolution has the gyroscopic controls (more or less meaning that if you move it, the game knows you moved it) that would allow all sorts of fun games (more than likely, minigames, actually) (infact, third parties probably wont make any actual games for this... best we'll see are Light Gun games... where you have to hold the sniper rifle steady...) The examples given in GamePro magazines of games that would fit this sort of thing are

1. The obligatory Zelda Fishing minigame...
2. Drawing a Magic Symbol in the air with your hand to cast in RPGs
3. Shooting games
4. Milllions of other annoying things.

Plus there is an attachment slot where any and all peripherals will be plugged into (such as joysticks, previous console controllers, dance pads, headphones, touchscreens, microphones, keyboards) expanding the gimick of this uber controller even further. ^^

As for the PS3 and XBox 360... so... you made what we allready had a little better... ... cool...

The Xbox 360 is an overpriced, overhyped, buggy piece of hardware, with mediocre games thus far. I. Am not. Impressed.

Heh, 360 didnt even win in the current consoles. NFS BE is out for the 360. Take a screen from that and place it next the Burnout Revenge for PS2 screen. and you will see that the 360 is a little sharper thanks to high def. Yes folks, you get a small amount more of camera flare and maybe 1 pixel more in the background.

It is hard to compare the current X-box and PS2. PS2 has been out the longest, while X-Box is relatively new. In terms of games, PS2 takes the cake. PS2 (in my opinion) has had much more fun games on it then X-Box does. Can you play Shadow of the Colosuss on the Box? But at the same time, can you play Halo on the PS2? Overall, PS2 wins it for me.

Graphics:
Again, another tie. Some say X-Box, but PS2 has had leaps and bounds in graphics. PS2 may not have been built for graphics like the X-Box was, but PS2 has surprised us with awsome graphics. I like Both in this respect.

I guess it I lean towards PS2 more then X-Box, but I like both. PS3 takes it for me, but 360 has its ups. The Revolution might be cool if they make the controller move the reticles on screen...

Hmm. There's a word for that, I believe...


And what word IS that? Like I stated in the quote, the XBox360 just looks like a 'Sharper' Xbox. Compared to the PS3, Xbox360 blows.


Thats basicially what ive said, but with my personal oponion...

Uhh, actually I did. If I recall, I was comparing the graphics from the XBOX360 to the PS3...While also mentioning that compared to the old XBox, it only looks "Sharper". Now dont get me wrong there are some good games out for the XBOX, but not as much as there are IN MY OPONION to the PS2...now for the PS3, with its new Cell-Processor, its going to blow the XBox360 out of the water...

Now microsoft believes that graphics play a bigger role on gameplay...

Now yeah Evo I did say that the XBOX Won in terms of graphics, I diddnt say XBOX won the Console war; if I did, I would have said Microsoft won the console war on CURRENT gaming consoles...

Did I clear everything up for everybody?

Why I brought up Sega is because they were ahead of their time with their consoles.

First came Genesis then came Snes.

First came Gamegear, then came gameboy color. (MUCH later)

First came Saturn, then came Playstation.

First came Dreamcast, then came Ps2. Dreamcast was the first console that successfully enabled online play.

Sega was always the first to bring graphics to the next level. Unfortunately they were cursed with failure with every console. However I guess the Dreamcast isn't considered modern anymore......though some games still have better graphics than some Ps2 games.

BoT :The only reason I want the 360 is because of Doa4. (Which has been delayed, no surprise. )

Honestly i'm not very impressed with any of the next gen titles. The graphics are cute and all, but they don't seem very next-gen. The difference between Playstation and PS2 was a HUGE leap. However PS3 doesn't look to magnificent. Same for the 360.

I haven't seen any games for The Revolution. I've only seen the awckward controller that it has. I haven't really read to much into it, so I don't really have a opinion for it.

As far as I know, Sajin, the Gamecube's graphics were only inferior to the Xbox. And I don't recall seeing pixels while playing games. ?

I think Square has returned to being a nonexclusive developer. There will, supposedly, be FFXI on Xbox 360, but after their long, surely prosperous relationship with Sony, I don't see them jumping ship anytime soon. And with them porting the older FFs to GBA and DS (FF3), that means they're also working with Nintendo now...

I was talking about the PS3 a couple weeks ago with somebody. Basically he said that everything that was better about the Xbox over the PS2 will be the other way around- The PS3 will now be better than the Xbox 360 in the aspects (give or take a few) of the past. Apparently, Sony learned from it's mistakes and made things a whole lot better.

Now, this may be going off topic, but I wanted to say that the same person also said that Square Enix might be moving to Microsoft. I don't know if this will become true, but I sure as hell hope that it doesn't happen...

...Yeah, I'm kind of lost. You said that the XBox 360 blows in comparison to PS3, but in your overall list, you list Microsoft (XBox) as your favorite BECASUE of graphics. (not overall favorite, but why you like it).

Merh. :/

EDIT : and yes, this is on topic. I asked you to discuss.

I dislike when people complain about the graphcis and nothing else.

So what else about it blows? Again, the ONLY listed disadvantage so far is graphics. Lemme put this in a list format, that's usually easier to use for a summary.


1. Xbox 360 has apparently inferior graphics to PS3.
2. You say Xbox 360 blows.
3. You mention no other reasons.

(and actually, we're quite on-topic. We're discussing the consoles.)

hmm...but were getting a bit off topic here...

In terms of compatibility- Nintendo
In terms of games- Sony
In terms of graphics- Microsoft

Thats basicially what ive said, but with my personal oponion...

Lmao, now be nice.

Shuyin, you didn't really explain your answer, but I guess it works.

Not modern enough, and Sega was in the other thread. *kicks Shuyin over to Classic Gaming*

For shame.

I prefered Sega's consoles. They were always ahead of their time. The Saturn and the Dreamcast are personal favorites.

.....What? They're still modern....kind of...

Thats my answer...I like both Graphics and Gameplay
