Well, each of the brand new consoles have been out for almost a year, and you may wonder, “Who’s winning?”. I think it is clear that the PS2 won last generation, mainly due to it’s great third-party support. But now with the Wii, PS3, and Xbox 360, who will win this time? Well, I have the privilege to play all 3 consoles, and own one of them, so I am going to make share my theories on this crucial topic.
Well, it’s no doubt that a console should be judged by how much fun it is, and that graphics, sound, and shinyness are just little perks. And in this case, the Wii would win, mainly due to the fact that it has had some considerably good games for its first year, not that the 360 didn’t and still has coming to 2 years. The PS3, however, hasn’t really had the best luck. Its launch was by-far a catastrophe, mainly due to lack of units, outrageous prices, and right now it only has a couple of good titles-Resistance, Elder Scrolls (Which you could just get on PC/360!), Virtua Fighter, Fight Night, whci hmost of the good titles you could just get on other, cheaper, consoles. The Wii had a great launch (Noone got shot!), affordability, and it has also sold a ton more units than the PS3 while it’s starting to approach the 360! It has also had some great titles, including Rayman, Zelda, Warioware, Super Paper Mario, SSX Blur, Excitetruck, Trauma Center, etc. Which, yes oyou can get one or two of these on other consoles, but with the motion sensing, you’re going to get a better time on the Wii! The 360 has also had some great titles. And each of these consoles has some great games on the way! Overall, I don’t think you can put the Wii in the same console war as the 360 and the PS3, because neither of them can beat the Wii in the “fun factor”, and I’ll admit the Wii’s graphics aren’t even close to the 360’s/PS3’s! But that’s not what makes a console, how much fun it is does, and, according to that, the Wii is definitely winning! Boom! Overall, I think that really Nintendo doesn’t have to worry about winning, because they earned immunity in this Survivor challenge by introducing the motion-sensing, only Microsoft and Sony, do, Microsoft is whooping Son’y tail!
Fianl Verdict-360 and Wii are tied for first because of their playability and great games, and PS3 is lingering behind. It’s needs to work really hard to get ahead in this race. Â
