Re: new wii better then xbox and ps3?
can't look at the thread because I'm at work, but I don't think its gonna matter at this point, the big N just doesn't have any good studios making any games for them, and I doubt they will ever again, but maybe things will change and they can get capcom and konomi back then maybe.

Re: new wii better then xbox and ps3?
Call me crazy but I've enjoyed the 2010-2011 Wii lineup a LOT more than the 360 lineup. All the 360 has had lately is shooter after shooter after shooter.
Re: new wii better then xbox and ps3?
I don't mind the system itself its the games that come with it that don't interest me. I have a Wii in the other room and I haven't touched it in over a year.

So what have you been playing on Wii? I guessing it is better than the shooters and games like Mass Effect and Red Dead Redemption to name just a couple.

I haven't been playing shooter after shooter...I've also thrown in some games like NBA, Forza, and MLB...so there's more than just shooters on the market. They simply seem to be the top sellers now, but you can always find other outlets.

Re: new wii better then xbox and ps3?
Don't forget LA Noire, Dirt 3, The Last Guardian, Uncharted 3 (kind of a shooter, but so much more), Portal 2, Little Big Planet 2, , Assassin's Creed Brotherhood, Fallout New Vegas, Heavy Rain, Demon's Soul's, God of War III, Alan Wake and 3d Dot Game Heroes to name a few LOL! I am sure there are more that are escaping my memory at the moment.

Re: new wii better then xbox and ps3?
IMO the 360 lineup has too many good games out and I don't have time to play all the ones I want.
Kinect > Wii mote, so no selling point there. I've played both a lot and it aint even close.
If I get an itch to play as a pink marshmallow, I guess I'll have to buy a Wii.
360 doesn't have many cartoony games, Wii doesn't have ANY realistic games. I guess they can make an arguement that their new console hardware is better, but until they come out with something that doesn't only appeal to preteen girls I'll stick with XBox.

Something is telling me we will be getting the next gen Xbox in 2012 as well. It has been a good run, but its about time for the new Generation of Xbox.

Re: new wii better then xbox and ps3?
I sawa post on last week that said new xbox and new ps3 slated for 2014, they had comments and quotes from both developers stating 2014. After playing crysis2 I'm happy with the xbox now, but hey games can always look better, right

I think 2012 would be a little too ambitious for M$, especially since they just released the Xbox 360 slim last year. I think we're looking at maybe early 2013 at best for the next gen Xbox console.
Personally, I think there will have to be slightly more of an evolution in TV tech (i.e. 3D TVs that don't require glasses) before we see a new console. And we'll have to see if 3D TVs are just a fad or not. However, the thinner, lighter, and higher resolution TVs that are on the horizon could really push things.
Either way M$ is on the right track. As far as Nintendo and Sony's long-term mass marketing strategy, I think they are way off base.
Nintendo pricing the 3DS at a console price point is just dumb. Especially, given the fact that the Smart Phone and Tablet market that is just blowing up. The Wii will need to significantly increase the graphics quality to compete with M$, and get rid of the controller. My 6-year old Niece would play Kinectimals and Just Dance than any game on her Wii. It's just easier. "You are the controller" has much more mass appeal. I don't have high expectations for the next gen Wii. But they will do much better than Sony.
As far as Sony, I don't even know where to start. Disks are barely the present far less the future, so the Blue Ray aspect is already on decline in my book. All-in-all, hardware-wise the PS3 is great, but the interface and community is lacking in comparison to the 360 and the Wii. Plus, they seem like they are in a constant state of playing catch up. So much promise, but a lackluster delivery.
Re: new wii better then xbox and ps3?
I think glasses-less 3D will be next-next-gen, that said, it seems like the type of thing that could be done as an update for a console that already supported 3D.
In regards to disks. I don't think they'll die out just yet. If developers make full use of a blu-ray (which only a few games ever have) then that is 50gb, so if you're downloading, it will only allow 20 games on a 1TB drive. Not to mention the network issues that would arise on launch days. I think there will be games on demand but I don't see them releasing that way.
I think the 360 is great, it just needs a hardware upgrade. The Wii will have the same processor as the 360 and it's GPU will be equivalent of an ATi 4870 X2, which is a relatively old GPU. The current high-end GPU's far exceed current gaming needs, so I could see their architecture being used for next-gen graphics. Processor-wise, we should be looking at a minimum of quad core...depends how much of the workload MS want to give to the GPU's....

There may be no clear winner in this generation's console wars, but there is definitely a clear loser, at least according to the people that broke into my apartment this weekend and stole every piece of electronic equipment they could get their hands on.
While they took every other gaming console hooked to my television, they passed on the Nintendo Wii.
Why did criminals hell-bent on stripping my entertainment center bare of every piece of electronics bypass the little white box with the glowing blue light on it? Was it an indication of the current status of Nintendo's console in the industry, or were the perpetrators' hands full? Should I be thankful or offended?

Re: new wii better then xbox and ps3?
The Slim is not a new Xbox- it’s the same tech in a new package to revitalize sales and cut costs. You know MS has to be working on the next gen, and will not like the idea of being the least powerful system out there, as they have never been that before. With the slim and kinect out last year, I would think they milk it this year and release a new system for the 2012 holiday. Make it backwards compatible, support the Kinect so you don’t need a new sensor, and even make it support the same Hard Drive the current slim uses, so you can buy the “arcade” version of the new Xbox for less $$$, and easily transfer your stuff over. That would give them a good starting price, as well as keep up sales of the current 360 slim as it doesn’t completely become “obsolete”. BluRay drives are cheap now, so you can throw one of those in now as well. Disk based media with optional downloads is still going to be a bigger market than Dl only or cloud gaming. At $60 a pop, kids are going to be getting games as gifts more than purchasing online, and not everyone has the bandwidth (or HD space) to continually DL. Heck, in the rural areas it isn’t even an option for some people unless tethered to a mobile device. If I was MS I would also add a simple browser and app store, and fully integrate it with Windows mobile to boost both brands. If they learned anything from the Zune and Windows Mobile, it is being late to the party = fail. I would jump on it soon as possible while they hold market share, and not let Nintendo catch up and Sony improve their UI.
As for Sony, I have no idea why they haven’t added the Android platform to the Playstation. They use it in their phones and new tablets. I actually think it is in the future of the PS3, so that is another reason for MS to step it up quickly.

Re: new wii better then xbox and ps3?
Bro you said it best! I don't think we will see a new console for the xbox for at least 2years . 2013 christmas is my bet. I wish they would put a browser on the xbox, but don't think they will. I think the zune music pass will become cheaper now that they quit making zunes, but I think if they can get a great cell phone/ zune with phone capablites that can play xbox arcade games and works good then they have a win. Just wish they had a monthly subscription $$$ for say unlimited music and select xbl arcade games( which change monthly) and like 6-8 movie rentals . If I was running the show that's what I would do. Oh and discs will be around for awhile , it would be sweet if you could dl the game the same time it came out for $40, new wii sounds like new virtua boy

I think MS & Sony will try and release before each other. I can't see them giving a sh1t about the Wii 2.... not when the gameplay footage will just like like current gen stuff and is unlikely to have any big 3rd party launch titles, like CoD, etc.
