X360, Wii, or PS3: Which looks the best now and later?

I'm planning to get a "next-gen" system, but not immediately. I am going to wait, at the most, a year before it take the plunge. With the Wii and PS3 releases literally days away, which of the three next-gen systems (Nintendo Wii, Microsoft X-Box 360, Sony Playstation 3) looks the strongest.

By strongest, I DON'T mean graphics, amount of games, or price. I mean, which system has the best chance for survival, success and popularity. No gamer wants their new system to become the next Dreamcast.

Please, please, PLEASE keep the fan-geeking to an absoloute minimum. I want straight, honest, impartial answers.

    in the long run the PS3 will probably come out on top. Sony has established itself as the clear leader in the video game market for both of the last two generations of console gaming systems.

    They have established and maintained long term relationships with developers of some of the most popular gaming franchises out there.

    Even though Sony will come out on top, I think there is still plenty of room for the Xbox and Wii to prosper.

    The xbox has really cornered the market with online gamers, while Nintendo has always dominated the under 12 age group.

    All three will survive and have their strengths and weakness, find the one that has the most of the type of games you like and go with it.

    Or be like me and get all 3!

    The Wii by far.

    Its the most innovative: the Wii controller is revolutionary. Ps3 meanwhile is the same old controller since 1995, and it doesn't even have rumble anymore!

    Its got everyone excited, even devolopers: just look at all the launch titles, 62 launch titles!!! what does PS3 have, like half a dozen titles? Developers are much more excited over the Wii because its they make more profit and its easier for them to make stunning games.

    Back-catalogue: The Playstation can't hold a candle to the Wii's virtual console. The potential library for the Wii can include any game ever made for the NES, SNES, Sega Genesis, Tubrografx16, N64, and possibly even the Saturn and Dreamcast. Thats every system ever made! Believe, publishers definently want to collect on games that are sitting collecting dust, it costs them next to nothing!

    First and Second Party Games! Nintendo is the king in this category. Who can say no games like Mario Party, Smash Brother, Mario Galaxy, Zelda, Donkey Kong, Metroid, StarFox and the list goes on and on and on....

    The Wii is going to win hands down, and thats besides the fact that for the proce of one PS3 with no games ($600) you can own a Nintendo Wii with 8 games!!!

    I think all three have staying power. I just bought the Xbox 360 and it has some great games (just recieved "Gears of War" and the gameplay and graphics are outstanding), excellent online play, and later this month microsoft will give you the option to download movies and shows to your xbox. I think Playstation 3 is also a great system but we will have to wait and see untill it comes out. Wii is different and unique which is why I might buy one in the next few months. In any case all three are great systems. Sorry I coulden't be of more help.

    Wow. NOW I remember why I surely have contracts! I had the same undertaking those days. while the guy asked for help (foster care), I asked her to sign a freelance mentioning that i replaced into to foster the dogs for 2 months, I had a stipulation that on the tip of the two months, if I hadn't heard from the owner, i replaced into legally unfastened to maintain or place the dogs as I observed in good shape, or negotiate yet another contract. the owner swore she'd be waiting to take the dogs in 3 weeks, blah, blah, blah. 2 months later, the day till now the contract replaced into up, the owner called and suggested she signed a hire on a place yet wasn't allowed to maintain the dogs. ought to I save her for a 12 months, and notice what occurred then? <shake head> Talked her out of the belief and found the dogs in a brilliant new abode. i don't be attentive to on the topic of the regulation the place you reside, yet in PA, in case you have had a dogs 2 weeks, with out any style of contract indicating in any different case, the dogs is yours. surely sounds as though the dogs is extra effective off with you besides. i won't be able to think of any choose awarding the dogs to them with out giving you repayment for expenses. If push is composed of shove, you could possibly get a lawyer to combat it for you, yet i don't be attentive to what the fees could be. i would be praying you get the dogs.

    I think the WII looks so gangsta and it is cool how the controler is Motion Senctive. The XBOX 360 and PS3 are cool but WII is so cool.
