The Wii right now just sounds too experimental. And since I read that the 360 will drop $100 later on, couple that with my lust for good shooters (Halo 3, Gears) and it's just what I need. But if the Wii ends up being as good as they act like it is, then I'd be happy to change my vote!

PS3, meh...

It's Nintendo. Of course it's going to be as good as they act like it is. The only thing that ever backfired on them was the Virtual Boy and the whole deal with Sony and Phillips. Hehheh... the CD-I... what a mess. Poor Phillips...

Not exactly; making the N64 a cart-based system really lost a lot of support for longer/more complex games, having mini-discs in the Gamecube screwed 'em over, no online support for the GC, and the biggest one, their damn censorship policies in the 90's screwed over some big names (Squaresoft, Enix, Quintet, to name a few) which has caused them not to make a good game on a Nintendo home console to date. Not saying the Wii won't be everything it's cracked up to be, but you can't say those are the ONLY things.

The GC did have online support. It just never did very well. Phantasy Star Online, phoo!

I think that there are three online capable games on the GC and PS online, and mariokart were two of them. I think that mario kart and PS online were the only ones that were compatable with the broadband adapter so yeah.

Uh... Mario Kart, you couldn't play that online. They had Mario Kart for LAN.

"Which next-gen console do you like?"

Um, there's only 1 any of us can even play! It's like saying "What's better, Superman Returns or Spider-Man 3?"

Just thought I'd bring up that silly point. Maybe this poll should be "which will you GET?"

At least we know what the 360 is. The PS3 and Wii could both be complete crap for all we know.

Also, this whole Wii60 thing is bullocks. Even IF the Wii is $200, which I kind of doubt, $200+$400=$600 but with no games. I think the average person will buy a 360 and some games/controllers instead of 2 systems and no games.

Let's also not forget a fatal flaw of the Wii - there's pretty much no way in hell you'd be able to make it portable. Shudder!

Ugh... I know... it's mind-boggling. I'm thinking of a way that could work... however. :wink:

I really don't think it will be that hard. Just creativity.

For ONCE I disagree with Ben. Well except on the whole N64p being "hard", but that's a different story. Anyways, saying they could turn out like crap is quite the extreme speculation. Also, where do you get the $400 that you tacked onto the Wii?

For some reason Benjamin added on the $400 of a 360... Whatever. The last time I agreed with Benjamin on consoles... never.

Good point. I really don't agree with Ben on ANY console matter either. We'll shut him up when the Wii is dominant, though :wink: !
