Ding ding ding! And the winnah is...

...Sony! For the simple fact that they haven't named their next system (or its components) something totally lame! Unless this proves very popular. Then we'll be treated to the Sony Yuu, or perhaps the Microsoft Mii.

The system will be unlike anything ever before, it will change everything but what a stupid name! Revolution should have stuck.

Overpriced? Sorry, but no. Blue-ray technology is top of the line expensive, not to mention the parts for it are custom made. Xbox360 may be cheaper, but they're losing profit per system as well, and you have to pay to be a gold member for certain online posibilites. PS3 is free online service, offers a much more challenging experience as far as controllers go, with it's motion sensor abilities, and looks to have a fantastic lineup of titles. In the end, it's expensive, but it's worth it. Unless you want to pay the full price of how much it REALLY is worth, then no, it's not overpriced at all.:kiss:

Oh yes, and 100$ more than an Xbox is not an outrageous price.

If you get the X-Box with the new HD-DVD drive, guess what? It becomes the same price as the high end PS3.

The PS3 is for gaming fans who also want their system to do a whole lot more than play games, and that is right up my ally.

I'm sorry, but a system that costs the same price my dad was trying to sell his old car for is not going to sell too much. That and it's mostly the same with prettier graphics and Betamax... I mean Blu-Ray disks.

Sony has fan base, people complained the PS2 would never sell, and yet it was the only system to have constant game sales throughout the years. No matter what, people will buy it, it will sell out, and sony will continue to dish out the awesome future of gaming.

Replace the word Sony with Nintendo and I agree with you. Granted Sony has its merits, mainly Kingdom Hearts, Final Fantasy and the last Godzilla video game. But Nintendo is thinking outside the box and the Wii IS the future of gaming, not necessarily in graphics but in gameplay, for it strays from the controller scheme people have gotten used to.

Okay, first off, nintendo does not have as wide a variety of game genres as the Playstation. While they try to make Nintendo more of a game system for everyone, Sony has been there, and is known for it. Nintendo has for many years been branded as a system for younger gamers, many in the range of 7-17. However the PS has a much wider fan base, not only from young gamers but from older veterans, this is where the numbers come in. With a wider variety of gamers you have more people buying your units. True the Wiimote, however idiotic sounding it is, is a completely unique design, but that is it's major fault. With a new style controller many people are going to have to learn how to play all over again, and unlike the sensory in the PS controller, which is easily controlled through the shifting of weight between hands, the wiimote is much more awkward to maneuver, and much too small a design for comfort.There is nothing the Wiimote has that the Playstation controller doesn't, and a unique but clumsy design is only going to discourage many veteran gamers. It's another unnecissary modification Nintendo has made to their systems over the years to boost sales.

Next is the graphics, I play a video game and rate it on it's overall appeal, not on gameplay or graphics alone. If a Wii is lacking in graphics, I'm going to be disinclined to explore what it has to offer in gameplay, when compared to a 360 or a PS3.

Over the years, sales of systems are as so:
1-Playstation 2 (with consistent sales rising)
2-Xbox (steady sales during holidays)
3-Gamecube ( sales linger, but not consistent)

This leads us to believe, following history, that Microsoft and sony will continue to head the industry, with Nintendo holding on thanks to a few popular game series. However after E3, there is much much more for Sony gamers to look forward to with God of War II, Final Fantasy XII, Fantasy versus XIII, Dirge of Cerberus, SIlent Hill 5, and many others.

Nintendo won't die off, but don't expect it to outdo the true leaders of the industy: Sony and Microsoft.

What I want from a console. Playing games. That's it. I don't want it to play music, DVDs, or dispense soda. That's what my computer is for..

Can your computer play high definition DVD's? ;)

I know what you are saying, but I think that Sony will deliver the best gaming experience as well as all the bells and whistles.
