Thats true, but that didnt help the GC much did it? The GC had some amazing games, but a few critical errors on Nintendos part (No online, No DVD drive especially) forced it into 3rd place. This link here doesnt bode well either:

Well, lets see, based on the current facts, ps3 sales are aligned with 360 launch up until a couple of days ago, where sales of ps3 have gone thru the roof (170something % in uk (due to 40gb successful launch)) as well as ps3 managin to snap up a couple of awards for best gadget of the year.... so much for the recap.

Now lets look at what we have:

Wii - Pros;
- motion sense
- large library of old games availible
Cons:
- no ability to play movie dvds
- no hd capability
- least powerful console on the market

360 - Pros:
- largest library of games
- Rumble (for those who like it)
- stable online support (also a con as it costs money each year)
Cons:
- limited hdd space (even 120gb, you can't upgrade it further)
- limited to dvd for games, hd dvd costs extra

PS3: Pros
- Bluray, wifi, bluetooth, hdd (which can be easily replaced with ur own choice of sata2 lappy drive

), wireless sixaxis controller (rumble coming soon), online... all included or free
- most powerful console on the market
- ability to install linux and use it as a pc...
- 1st gen exclusive games that are good enough to rival best of other systems
Cons:
- Highest Pricetag for a complete package
- Online & Games Library isn't as strong currently as 360... that's about it...

Overall, considering current market prices one would be best off seeing if you could get a motorstorm 60gb from us for $499.82 (plus s&h)... best value...

I love how you mention the free online and built-in Wifi on the Ps3 but not the Wii. The Wireless Sixaxis controller should be a con, havent Sony made any improvements since they added 2 shoulder buttons to a snes controller on the Ps1, then slapped on 2 analog sticks after Nintendo did it? Also your point of 'most powerful console on the market' is void since it's been proven the 360 is more powerful: dpad.gotfrag.com/

You also forgot to mention the Wii has more 3rd party exclusives than the 360/Ps3 combined this christmas season. I'm not a Ps3 hater, but you missed a lot of valid points for the Wii.

Lol Foetoid, your a funny man mate

It is good to see varied opinions on the forums though from other individuals, im all for abit of variety, but to me personally, PS3 FTW!!! This is only going by my personal experience with the console and the games it offers, Heavenly Sword was one of the best games i ever had the pleasure of playing. still enjoy the game even now after passing it over 5 times already

Hahaha ummmmm are you serious? Playstation 3 will NOT end up like the gamecube, that is ridiculous even thinking that, it has wayyyyyyy more potential to begin with & alot of people will purchase it for the Blu Ray aspect alone, so to any useless gimps wishing or hoping this may happen, then keep on dreaming

I totally agree with the Skua & Gdmatt, 2008 will be a hardcore year for Playstation 3

I'm particularly very excited about Tekken 6 & Time Crisis 4

GTADude said: I dont think anything could sell as bad as the gamecube

The sega saturn sold worse, and many developers have compared the ps3 to the saturn because it's ridiculously difficult to program games on.
Take into account sony are on a never ending mission to cut costs. Underdevelopment and lack of exclusives could be a real issue for the ps3.
Sony have to spend big bucks to compensate developers for the money lost with console exclusives. Sony haven't thrown much money behind their software yet, maybe they will do a "cube" and bluff people into believing there will be a solid exclusive library with out ever delivering one.
Either way I'll need to see some evidence before i purchase a ps3, at the rate sony are going the console and most 1st and 2nd gen exclusives will be half price by the time the ps3 starts delivering on its promises.
I waited almost a year before getting a 360, thanks to live its become my second favorite console only behind the mighty 64.

Hand this man a cigar! and then take it away again because he's pro wee

Seriously guys I'd have to buy a 3rd party controller if i ever get a ps3, because sony sixaxis is about as ergonomic as a house brick. Guess the "silver boomerang" must have cost sony an extra 4 cents per unit to make.

Okay i'm goint to try and be nice about this. If anyone doesn't like the comments about the ps3 being sooooo much better than any other console, go to another site. This IS a PS3 site and therefore most people either have or are getting a ps3. The ps3 WILL last a minimum of 10 years and at it's current sale rate it is atually selling quite well. You have to remember that the wii and 360 have been out for a year longer than the ps3 and the ps3 is already catching up to them

PS3 ROCKS!!!!

Your mum,Developers who complain are the ones who can't design games anyway(hello EA/check up!!)they should stick to the easier not next,not last gen 360,also you saying the 360 controller is better,oh yeah,with it's 2cent plastic triggers,and blatant rip off of the dreamcast controller,the dualshock/sixaxis is a much better controller,anyway don't buy the PS3,but i bet you will once it starts winning,as for quality software,360 has around 300 games,so what?,how many are so amazing & exclusive?300?,no way most are crap,some are good,a few are fantastic,i'm sick of people complaining of the lack of PS3 games,and the PS3 itself,the 360 is a piece of sh*t,it was made faulty & without foresight.

Damn right Smajs

The ps3 IS hard to make games on but it's actually more difficult to make games on the 360. The 360 lacks in graphics power making it harder for developers to make games on the 360 looks as good as PS3 game

The 360 is by far the easiest current gen console to program games on thats FACT not opinion, there's a crap load of 360 console exclusives you would be hailing as classics if they were on the ps3.
I'm not here to ruffle feathers but god damn it!, look up the facts instead of just replying to every argument in the same way. In the typical "ps3 is better in every way" manner because it isn't nor is the 360 or wii for that matter.
Right now I'm struggling to see any strong points for the ps3 it uses an inferior unfinished HD movie medium and sony are either too tight are too complacent when it comes to quality exclusives.

Your mum,now your bagging Bluray?Fact: HDDVD is losing.Fact: Bluray games are an overlooked factor.Fact: Microsoft pay anything for an exclusive (GTAIV),Fact the 360 was made faulty.Question ,why are you on MyPS3 then? P.S I never said the 360 wasn't easier to code games for,that just proves how little un-tapped potential it has left,where as cause the PS3 is difficult to code games for,i don't think many developers have exploited it's full potential FACT!!
