Next-Gen Console Discussion Thread

[oneray]

Wii has dominated the sales charts for a year now for its impressive sales. But will it stay like that? The 360 is coming out with its Halo 3 in a matter weeks and have finally upgraded their consoles to fix that that annoying bug. The PS3 is taking heavy blows but is coming back steadily with anticipated games like Kill Zone 2 and FF13 (yeah). Will the Wii still be able to compete with its lackluster graphics, reduced content and quality, and unique control scheme? DISCUSS!

This topic is the place for discussing the next-gen consoles. Any discussion in other threads regarding next-gen console debate will be deleted. ~Zypher

What's there to discuss? Only time will tell.

Yeah, the Wii's screwed, it has no big guns.

SUPER SMASH BROS BRAWL DUMBASS.

The Wii has their own big gun, they should be fine, but only time will tell.

Wii has disapointed me on a personal level. Too many CGI movies, too many shitty mini--games. THeres like 5 games out now at most i would buy.

Metroid Prime 3

Zelda Twilight Princess

Super Paper Mario

Trauma Center

Tanks in wii play.

I doubt it. Sure, the eventual good game, but Halo 3 and Bioshock are going to tide people over until Silent Hill 5, Devil May Cry 4 and RE 5, and I knew when I had my Gamecube, Resident Evil 4 held me over until the end of the console generation.

Wii has more big titles coming out for it than Xbox 360 or PS3.

I'll be surprised if Wii doesn't stay on top.

How the fuck does Halo 3 and Bioshock tide people over. Thats like saying Brawl will tide people over for other okay games that really only come out so the two or three fans will be happy.

Also, the PS3 and PC will have Unreal Tournament 3, as well as the aforementioned and the 360 having Call of Duty 4 (and the DS, lol)

the supporters of the Wii will still support it, although I doubt that with these games it will stay on the top of sales.

[The.Muffin.King]

Wii needs to step up, and stop letting itself get used by shitty third-party companies, hired by CGI movie developers, who make minigames that have nothing to do with the movies.  And Actually make some GOOD games, like zelda and metroid and galaxy, hopefully.

The Wii dominated untill the PS3 came out. The PS3 has made more money than the Wii has in a shorter time, so the PS3 is on top. Not the Wii. It has also sold more.

The Wii has the new smash bros, if they make it so you have to use a joypad and not the remote to play then it will be good, if not then i dont really see any way of it being any good. Im just waitin for metroid to come out.

Shadowdude, in one post you've managed to loose all the respect I had for you.

Wow, shadowdude's an idiot.

Where to begin, for starters, Theres an area on here called Video Games. GO THERE because, metroid is already out, also if you would go bother to open up your eyes and go into the super smash bros. thread, or if you knew about GOOGLE, you would know that in Super Smash Bros. they enabled all 4 types of control. http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/gamemode/various/various01.html . So please, before you say shit, make sure your living in the same year as us.

Wii is only going to get better when they bring out the bing guns.  MP3 is amazing, LoZTP is great, SSBB will be the best fighter ever, and so many good games are coming out.  Enjoy bioshock and GoW.

[TeaBag]

I predict Nintendo will be so successful they'll have the time and money to focus on what they truly want to make: reincarnations of every Mario sports game ever made.  I personally can't wait until Mario Hoops 3 on 3: Miami

I only agree with one, the PS3 made more money due to the fact that it costs the same as 3 wii's =/  and the games costing the same as 2 wii ones.

Really? Sony is loosing money for each PS3 sold. It costs about $800 USD to make, and is selling for $500 USD.

[shadowdude]

Im from england, and as far as i know it aint out over here, besides i didnt feel like looking at the smash bros thread.

Oh well.
