I want to know everyones option on this thread im fighting with my dad because he thinks Ps3 Is WAYYY better than 360 and i want the public to deside, in my opion i say 360 all the way it creams ps3 big time...
360 if you want games, good online, and future stability. PS3 if you want promises and hopeful future potential.

As somebody who owns both, I'd have to say the XBox 360 is the better system right now. There are a ton more titles that are exclusive to the 360 than PS3 that are worth being played. In addition the online service (while costing $6 a month, $60/year) is a more complete service and offers much more than the PSN does.
In addition the 360 is able to get a HD DVD add-on if that is what your father is looking for. Many can be found on eBay for less than $100, and amazon/TRU has them for $129. Which puts the HD movie capabilities at only about $50 more than the PS3's Blu-ray capabilities for their cheapest model. If that even matters to you or your father.

Thats not set in stone. The game is rumored to be on an indefinite hold until SE decides wether or not to put it on the 360/Wii/PC/multiplatform in general. There is no money to be made in exclusives in todays gaming world unless its on a Nintendo platform, which is why Konami has publically admited MGS4 will fail unless there is a miracle straight from the hand of God.

So if I start a rumor then it's not set in stones? please.
all rumors should be taken with a grain of salt. Square enix has not said anything about FFXIII being on indefinite hold or being multiplatform. It has recently been confirmed once more that Final Fantasy XIII is a PS3 exclusive and Square enix is going to release new videos at an event in 2008 (forgot which one). Doesn't sound like "indefinite hold"
those so called "rumors" are actually wishful thinking from people who don'/t own a PS3
Op: The Xbox360 if you want good games now, but if you look at the 2008 lineup, I'd certainly go for the Playstation 3.

Wishful thinking on somebody elses part, not mine. Ive owned and sold both a 360 and a PS3, as I dont give a fuck. Im to old and ive been playing games way to long to sit around and wait for console sequel number 31. I spend my time doing original shit, like playing the Wii, using the PC, and working.

Well the PC needs no explenation I would think.
I haven't really noticed any significant innovation in the Wii. Games from Nintendo should be leading the innovation but I can't really say that games like Twilight Princess, Mario Galaxy and Metroid Prime play significantly different from previous installments. Twilight Princess feels exactly the same as previous Zelda games except you now random wiggle your remote instead of button mashing, Metroid Prime 3's new aiming control scheme does make the game more fun but it's not very innovative and aside from that it feels all to familar to the previous MP's. Mario Galaxy is cool and it's an innovative take on the platform genre but that has more to do with the actual game then what the Wii has to offer. the WIi controls feels tagged on and it's not really anything that couldn't be done on other consoles.

You list 3 games of many the Wii is about as orginal as they come.
As for the system hands down 360 PS3 keeps loseing exculsives. Youll get Mass Effect and Halo3 AND xbox libe which i love. Plus GH3 on the 360 you can get the halo 3 song for free

PS3 lost many exclusives because Sony owned the vast majority of exclusives to begin with. Having to many exclusives is just too much competition for the customers cash, hence a few of them went to Microsoft who basicly begging for exclusive and actually ended up paying for a lot of exclusives.
I list 3 video games because those are made by Nintendo, the company that should set an example. It seems wiggling your remote randomly is nintendo's idea of innovation.

What about Wii Sports?
Wii Fit?
Wii Music?
None of these show any sign of innovation?
I don't consider that innovation, because I don't consider those "real" games, they are minigame compilations. But the immersion that some titles in Wii sports bring is exactly what I like to see in real games, and not random wiggling to swing Link's sword, or random wiggling just so Mario can do a spin attack. It's not more immersive at all that way, it just feels like an extra button.
Seriously when I bought my Wii with Twilight Princess I fully expected to be able to swing the Wii remote and Link would actually do that move in the game somewhat. I was really, really dissapointed.
X360 - If you want play good game right now, there is planty good games on X360 already in stores.
PS3 - If you want but next-gen console for longer time, PS3 just starting and have huge potentian. But games for that console are "midle clas" and good games will be relased in year or two.

Mario galaxy - an inovation on paltform game design with - Minigames [not really seen to a real degree in previous mario games] - Level Design [once again very well done and unlike any other Platformer around] - The gravity thingy [ this adds to the level design and the gaming not seen to the same degree as other Platform based games].
The motion controls were well done too and not overdone just for the sake of having motion controlls. You got the little flip motion that activated one of your main attack and you used the cursor to pick up star bits and to shoot them at enermies and other things.
Metroid Prime Corruptions - I agree here in many ways it worked like any other 3D metroid game [of which there is 0ne]. However the motion controlls both worked and provided a much better [or alternative] way of controlling a FPS style of game which is inovative as this hasant been done before on a console.
The 'Zelda' Game - This one came out when the Wii did now i wansant expecting the motion controlls to be so good with this one why? you ask. well you see this game was origonally made for the Gamecube them pushed over to the WII a few months before release. So its no suprise the motion controlls were not that good [they worked but could have been much better]. Netherless the gameplay was top notch.
Wii Sports - Well no need to point out its inovative points is there?

REALLY? The PC is not innovative? Please I would LOVE to hear your take on as to why PC's are not innovative, let me add that as far as I can see, for a system that's been around for ages, the PC is by far BETTER than any console out there. The greatest thing about PC's is that they adapt and change, where as a console system remains static. You will never be able to upgrade a PS3 beyond the capabilities that were given by the manufacturer. Where as a PC you can upgrade as many times as you want (I have a brother who made his own PC's that ended up running better than what you get on Best Buy and for cheaper). Heck, I have even seen videos on Youtube of people being able to hack Wii remotes to make them work on a PC.
Sorry pal, but as far as I'm concerned, for an old system, the PC has the potential (and actually does, if your'e computer savvy) to waste any console out there. (I should know considering I can play Prey (a 360/PC game) on my PC and runs/looks exactly the same. If your'e talking about a controller, I got that for my PC too (looks, feels like a PS2/PS3 controller and has the vibration thingy too) so... exactly what do other consoles have that the PC doesn't? because so far from what I can see, the PC has a lot more to offer.
I would say ps3 if you plan to play online at all, xbox live doesn't even have dedicated servers. I think really it comes down to this, if your dad is paying, get the ps3. You can always buy the cheaper 360 later, just wait until they come out with another slightly better version then the others will drop in price again.
Your mind is like a parachute, it's only useful when it's open. Don't forget, you can use the block function on trolls.

Indeed on PC I don't see that many innovative games. In fact, Unless you love First person shooters and RTS (both which dominate the PC genre to the point where it's not even funny anymore) then it would be downright stupid to be a PC gamer. What's the point in spending a thousand dollars on a PC when only a few games actually make use of all that power? So far Crysis is the only game that actually makes use of a PC, the vast majority of other PC games can be done on consoles as well, in fact many of them are on consoles.
the PC is still the same as it was 10 years ago, with the only difference being that there are now even less Triple A games comming out for PC.
I have the Wii and the PS3. I choose the PS3 for a few reasons:
1) I work with computers daily, in an enterprise environment; Microsoft doesn't make bad products, but neither do they make great products either.
2) There in all likely hood be another iteration of the Xbox, before there will be another iteration of the PS. MS has used older technology, whereas I see the the PS3 not really changing for a few years.
3) I have a PC, almost anything "exclusive" on the Xbox 360 will be on the computer.
4) Exclusive titles are going to become less and less for either MS or Sony. These games are costing huge sums to develop, game companies will need to release on multiple platforms to recoup these costs.
5) Type of games: I like Japanese RPGs. The Xbox is not doing well in Japan, so developers aren't going to develop the games I want to play on the Xbox
6) I flipped a coin, tails came up.
7) The video stores in my area have more blu-ray movies available then HDD movies.
8) The price dropped on the PS3 making the decision easier.

all rumors should be taken with a grain of salt. Square enix has not said anything about FFXIII being on indefinite hold or being multiplatform. It has recently been confirmed once more that Final Fantasy XIII is a PS3 exclusive and Square enix is going to release new videos at an event in 2008 (forgot which one). Doesn't sound like "indefinite hold"
those so called "rumors" are actually wishful thinking from people who don'/t own a PS3
Op: The Xbox360 if you want good games now, but if you look at the 2008 lineup, I'd certainly go for the Playstation 3.

Mario Galaxy is cool and it's an innovative take on the platform genre but that has more to do with the actual game then what the Wii has to offer. the WIi controls feels tagged on and it's not really anything that couldn't be done on other consoles.
What about Wii Sports?
Wii Fit?
Wii Music?
None of these show any sign of innovation?
I don't consider that innovation, because I don't consider those "real" games, they are minigame compilations. But the immersion that some titles in Wii sports bring is exactly what I like to see in real games, and not random wiggling to swing Link's sword, or random wiggling just so Mario can do a spin attack. It's not more immersive at all that way, it just feels like an extra button.
Seriously when I bought my Wii with Twilight Princess I fully expected to be able to swing the Wii remote and Link would actually do that move in the game somewhat. I was really, really dissapointed.
X360 - If you want play good game right now, there is planty good games on X360 already in stores.
PS3 - If you want but next-gen console for longer time, PS3 just starting and have huge potentian. But games for that console are "midle clas" and good games will be relased in year or two.
As soon as FFXIII is released I will be getting my PS3 the next day. Can't wait.

Mario galaxy - an inovation on paltform game design with - Minigames [not really seen to a real degree in previous mario games] - Level Design [once again very well done and unlike any other Platformer around] - The gravity thingy [ this adds to the level design and the gaming not seen to the same degree as other Platform based games].The motion controls were well done too and not overdone just for the sake of having motion controlls. You got the little flip motion that activated one of your main attack and you used the cursor to pick up star bits and to shoot them at enermies and other things.
Metroid Prime Corruptions - I agree here in many ways it worked like any other 3D metroid game [of which there is 0ne]. However the motion controlls both worked and provided a much better [or alternative] way of controlling a FPS style of game which is inovative as this hasant been done before on a console.
The 'Zelda' Game - This one came out when the Wii did now i wansant expecting the motion controlls to be so good with this one why? you ask. well you see this game was origonally made for the Gamecube them pushed over to the WII a few months before release. So its no suprise the motion controlls were not that good [they worked but could have been much better]. Netherless the gameplay was top notch.
Wii Sports - Well no need to point out its inovative points is there?

Hey, just like SWG! lol! Maybe SOE should put that on a plaque or something in their buildings.
Sorry, but after how horrible FF10-2 and FF12 was for the PS2 I'm all burned out. Their good FF games where for the PS1.
Well the PC needs no explenation I would think.

REALLY? The PC is not innovative? Please I would LOVE to hear your take on as to why PC's are not innovative, let me add that as far as I can see, for a system that's been around for ages, the PC is by far BETTER than any console out there. The greatest thing about PC's is that they adapt and change, where as a console system remains static. You will never be able to upgrade a PS3 beyond the capabilities that were given by the manufacturer. Where as a PC you can upgrade as many times as you want (I have a brother who made his own PC's that ended up running better than what you get on Best Buy and for cheaper). Heck, I have even seen videos on Youtube of people being able to hack Wii remotes to make them work on a PC.
Sorry pal, but as far as I'm concerned, for an old system, the PC has the potential (and actually does, if your'e computer savvy) to waste any console out there. (I should know considering I can play Prey (a 360/PC game) on my PC and runs/looks exactly the same. If your'e talking about a controller, I got that for my PC too (looks, feels like a PS2/PS3 controller and has the vibration thingy too) so... exactly what do other consoles have that the PC doesn't? because so far from what I can see, the PC has a lot more to offer.
I would say ps3 if you plan to play online at all, xbox live doesn't even have dedicated servers. I think really it comes down to this, if your dad is paying, get the ps3. You can always buy the cheaper 360 later, just wait until they come out with another slightly better version then the others will drop in price again.
Your mind is like a parachute, it's only useful when it's open.
Don't forget, you can use the block function on trolls.
Cleary your a M$ fanboi.. so whats so original about the xbox?
Ps3 itself is definetly a better system than 360 but it doesnt have as much decent games yet. Thats probably the only thing negative about ps3.
?
Why not?

Indeed on PC I don't see that many innovative games. In fact, Unless you love First person shooters and RTS (both which dominate the PC genre to the point where it's not even funny anymore) then it would be downright stupid to be a PC gamer. What's the point in spending a thousand dollars on a PC when only a few games actually make use of all that power? So far Crysis is the only game that actually makes use of a PC, the vast majority of other PC games can be done on consoles as well, in fact many of them are on consoles.the PC is still the same as it was 10 years ago, with the only difference being that there are now even less Triple A games comming out for PC.

I can't remember me saying that the Xbox was a good example of originality?And me a M$ Fanboi?
you clearly don't know me very well.
I have the Wii and the PS3. I choose the PS3 for a few reasons:
1) I work with computers daily, in an enterprise environment; Microsoft doesn't make bad products, but neither do they make great products either.
2) There in all likely hood be another iteration of the Xbox, before there will be another iteration of the PS. MS has used older technology, whereas I see the the PS3 not really changing for a few years.
3) I have a PC, almost anything "exclusive" on the Xbox 360 will be on the computer.
4) Exclusive titles are going to become less and less for either MS or Sony. These games are costing huge sums to develop, game companies will need to release on multiple platforms to recoup these costs.
5) Type of games: I like Japanese RPGs. The Xbox is not doing well in Japan, so developers aren't going to develop the games I want to play on the Xbox
6) I flipped a coin, tails came up.
7) The video stores in my area have more blu-ray movies available then HDD movies.
8) The price dropped on the PS3 making the decision easier.
