Well here's the real difference. I wouldn't call the Wii a toy at all. Since it's offering something new and three times the power of the gamecube, I'd call it a New Generation console. The 360 and PS3 are merely graphical upgrades that don't change video games in ANY WAY. They are typical and ordinary. Don't get me wrong...the 360 is an awesome system. The PS3 is a piece of shit. Why? Well, the $600 price tag is NOT WORTH paying as far as im concerned. HD, Blu-Ray, etc. have nothing to do with gaming. Gimmicks. The Wii on the other hand offers a brand new experience that actually works.
I think you're all wrong. N64, Gamecube, Wii.. they are all toys compared to ps,ps2,xbox,ps3,xbox360. Just look at the games, graphics and people who bought em. Wii is just a good continuation of Gamecube. Nintendo fans may be really happy with it, but people who want really good stuff for greater gaming experience will wait for PS3. How can you say PS3 havent brought anything new? lol. It'll handle all new games for 5 years or so. Wii is maybe 4 times better than Gamecube yes its a fact. So how many times is PS3 better than PS2? Let's see... Ps2's 500mhz Sony processor compared to Ps3's 3.2 Ghz 8-core Cell processor, 32mb noname graphics against newest nvidia's 256mb graphics chip with like at last 200times faster memory REAL bandwith etc. etc. Plus don't forget how many times PS2 was better than Gamecube. Ill say that Wii is just for people who were fans of Nintendo and maybe for those who want a bang for a buck. People who really want to taste new gen gameplay will wait for PS3. Or at last will buy xbox360. No offense for Nintendo worshippers and anybody who wanna buy WII but i personally think it'll suck ass. I can also confirm that technically. Also look at the games coming out. Sony (As always) bought out all the best titles. I bet that Wii wont even see GTA4. But if u like Mario...
Wii is like NES compared to sega saturn now. It's just to weak to handle more advanced games.
Blue-ray have to do a lot with gaming. With 25gb capacity and 2 times faster bandwith it's enought for the future. These days games have up to 8gb. Every generation uses more and more.. Dvd's just won't handle them. Wii might be quite good.. for now. But in a year or 2 you'ss just have to dump it or play the same games all the time. Or maybe new Mario games will come out but nothing else. Playstation 3 is just a great abnd technically awesome continuation to the past models. It'll give you another few years of great gameplay. Also it's specifications allow me to say that it's currently the most powerful known multimedia device :thumb:

"The difference between theoretical performance and real-world performance on the CPU level is growing fast. On, say, a regular Xbox, you can get very large fractions of theoretical performance with not a whole lot of effort. The Playstation 2 was always a mess with the multiple processors on there, but the new generations, with Cell or the Xbox 360, make it much, much worse. They can quote these incredibly high numbers of giga-flops or tera-flops or whatever, but in reality, when you do a straightforward development process on them, they're significantly slower than a modern high-end PC.
It's only by doing significant architectural work that you can even have a chance of finding speed-ups to what the PC can do, let alone its theoretical performance. It's only through trivial, toy, or contrived applications that you can deliver the performance they claim." - John Carmack

You're a dumbass saying that "people who want a greater gaming experience will get the PS3" and that the Wii is a toy. Sounds to me like you only get a game if it has an "M" stamped on the front of the case. I'd rather play a long ass Mario or Zelda game than a violent game with great graphics that'll last me 5 hours. "People who really want to taste new gen gameplay will wait for PS3"... yeah, since basically the same games with better graphics and a few extra features is "new gen".
You remind me of this one faggot at my school that didn't want to buy Super Smash Brothers Melee until I told him it was rated Teen. "Oh really? I thought it was rated Everyone, I guess I'll check it out".

i think we can conclude that the wii is a toy for children and the psbox is for mature people. the only reason the ds sold more than the psp is because only children play portable games and all of nintendos games are children games. i don't think a football player will be sitting there on the bench at half time playing his little ds,but when he goes home he shuts the blinds and loads up the ol' xbox or ps2.
Oh? I beg to differ.
Check it out. Gamestop says PS3 isn't going ANYWHERE. http://arstechnica.com/journals/thumbs.ars/2006/10/4/5503
Sorry to say...but Nintendo is heading in the right direction. Sony isn't. No compelling titles, high prices for nothing new, non-game features. Oh, and gimmick/old controller. :laugh:
Plus, all of Sony's friends are moving to Wii soon because it's too expensive to develop for PS3. Sony is even charging to PLAY demos at the store on the kiosks!!! And Gran Turismo HD for PS3 will cost a grand total of $600-$900!!!! No lie. Read up on it. I'm buying a Wii and 360.
Oh, and to those who loooove violence in video games (although I can't understand why), the violence will be much more realistic on the Wii...as you actually DO the actions yourself with the help of the awesome new controller.
