I am surprised to see the majority of people most interested in the XBOX 360, I think this will change when more demonstrations and info on the game titles to be released on PS3 is available.

PS3 right now. The games SO FAR were more impressive, and the PS3 still has a year to launch whereas the XBOX2 is supposed to be coming this fall. I have a feeling MS might try to rush things a little and it might backfire to a degree. That and while I don't care about hardware, word is PS3 is more sophiticated/powerful...and things like seeing M$ publish misleading reports showing the Xbox having like 4x the bandwith of Ps3 system memory (while forgetting ps3 uses different kind of system ram...xdr~ and that ps3 doesn't follow unified memory architecture...) or ATI saying over 300million transistors (When what like 200m is just the embedded ram?) when Nvidia's gpu is actually that sophistacted just makes me roll my eyes.
but in the end it isn't that as much as watching killzone2 gameplay footage and see how it wipse away anything else that was shown.

As for revolution...what the heck do we know about it! Little to none. So no comment.

I do think that Sony will erad this round with M$ playing a second again...but it will be closer~ and nintendo will lag behind a LOT because they are always full of hype and never have the balls to show their freaking console at E3
But so far the PS3 looks handily to bet teh winnar

Am I alone in thinking the PS3 is fugly? I've also had very bad luck with first gen Sony hardware. I'm waiting a bit to get a PS3. I might not get a PS3 at all depending on what type of exclusives they have. If most of the games are going to be out on Xbox and Revolution I'll skip that fugly PS3 system.

No, I find almost everything about it ugly, including the controllers. That won't be what my decision is based on, but I'd like to say I'll be buying the 360. I'm a halo man, and I can't imagine not owning Halo 3.

Any of you that are on the fence about the Xbox 360, try to read the article in the Time with Bill Gates on the cover (THIS ONE). I just finished it up (it sits in the bathroom for necessary reading ), and I found it very insightful. I was going to buy a 360 regardless, I just figured some of those not sure about the 360 would enjoy it (along with anyone else).

Granted, there are a lot of those that already have media machines (one of the big promotional points of the article) and those that have built them. However, the 360 is going to be so much more than what we're used to in a straight-from-the-factory console. Combine that with the insane hardware, their true online network (Live - capable of being used for voice chat and such while watching regular TV) and the initial price, it's going to be a steal.

I'm very excited about these new consoles. We really are some fortunate bastards.

 

[jotch]

PS3 for me, got too many PS2 games to warrant getting anything else. Also I think that the online content for both machines will be very similar with neither having the upper hand.

 

[frankgomez75]

xbox 360 of course.....

 

[The Green Bean]

PS3...6-8 months after release.

 

[CyGoR]

I'll just wait for the first console with a ported unix OS..
Since all three are based (somehow) on the IBM PowerPC core, this will make a great (and cheap) server!

Otherwise, I guess the Revolution.. I'm a huge retro fan, and Nintendo will offer a lot of old games (all mario's, zelda's etc) for download and use on the Revolution which is great, if they keep the prices down..

yeah, me too. I still even play some PS1 games!

 

[Gigadave]

Ben Skywalker

I have, and I still prefer GT4... But it's close!

 

[LiekOMG]

A Revolution for sure. Anything else just depends on the price, and if they come out with any worthwhile games. I personally found little of interest on the PS2 and Xbox.

 

[DarkKnight]

Xbox 360 for live and Halo 3

 

[RichUK]

i think mine will probs have to be a mega drive ..

 

[shud]

No respectful person on a computer hardware forum should even speak of playing FPS games on a console. Thumbsticks are the devil for free aim, but that's been argued ad nauseum in many an arena, so I'll move on.


Anyway, I'll get Xbox 360 when it launches, most likely. I like that they've reached out and scored some good Japanese developers (mostly those who do RPGs, a genre in which the Xbox had almost no titles) Eventually, I'll get PS3. My loyalties lie with Sony and they've had the upper hand because of software. Killer apps define the system, not the hardware, and the limitation of DVD9 on Xbox 360 kind of worries me.

Also, PS3 is looking at a constant price model. Instead of starting out at $450 and decreasing as the years go on, Sony is talking about a $300 price tag for many years. This will do well not to shun early adopters (I didn't grab PS2 or Xbox within their first year of release, but did so in subsequent years and saved nearly $300).

$300 for a machine with Blu-Ray? Sign me up. Of course, this could be a pipe dream and Sony may back out, but a great dream it is.

 

[hans030390]

I'll be picking meself up a PS3 later...not at launch though...we all know to wait to buy a sony product when it's launched right?

Yeah, but PS3 has some things that I want:

1. Killzone 2 (which was confirmed to be a real game...)
2. More power (Cell should own the Xbox 360's CPUs IF worked with)
3. No Halo 3

I'll also pick up a Revolution because it looks to be good. No Xbox 360 for me though...it's a waste....I haven't seen many good looking games for it, and Xbox had a terrible line up...Sony has a huge library of games, Xbox doesnt. Nintendo doesnt either, but this "revolution" sounds cool (whatever it is).

Sorry, I'm very anti-xbox/halo because of all the Killzone bashers out there...made me almost despise Halo. That's why I don't get anything related to xbox.

Besides, we all know that the PS3 will have way better games anyways (and killzone 2 will own halo 3)

 

[cubby1223]

I'll drop a vote in for the Revolution. Nintendo attracts more of the arcade type games which I prefer, plus their backwards compatibility & rumors of nes & snes support. Probably jump for the PS3 eventually, though the price rumors are quite a turnoff...

 

[shud]

The Xbox 360 is going to run a processor with 3 cores. How are they going to keep that thing cool in such a tiny box?

Actually, I think I may wait on Xbox 360. I have a friend I'm pretty sure will get one, and I happen to be rooming with him next year.

 

[Hankysmoo]

Nintendo for life!

 

[JackBurton]

360. I LOVE my XBox and XBox Live!

 

[T9D]

XBOX 360

 

[apoppin]

whichever console supports 'mouse+KB' ingame [probably] gets my $$$

undecided

 

[Daniel]

I currently have an Xbox as a media center extender for my MCE2005 setup. The 360 will have that capability built in so you won't have to be swapping disks back and forth.

Oh, and I'll be getting the 360 for free!
