Battle of the Game Consoles, article + questions + discussion *crosses fingers* Options

You f*ckin' idiot lol. I didn't suggest either or. I'm simply saying the girl obviously likes video games and she should take it to the next level. Then maybe she'll see why we all think the PSP is a piece. Hell, I'd rather have a DS than a PSP. I'm just waiting for a DSi.

Fixed.

Yeah yeah whatever you say. I still my 360.

[queen]

lol i do have a DS, and i still prefer the PSP, assuming we're talking only about legit aspects of both handhelds. the DS does have superior online play, but that's just because more companies cater to it. i do see a good future for the PSP though, especially in the PS3-PSP connectivity realm.

like kevin said, it's just preference really. what are you comparing the PSP to anyway? the only other handheld in the competition is the DS, and there are such vast differences between the two that they practically cater to different demographics (moreso in america than in japan). if there was another handheld in the market, i'd understand your reasoning more, but if you're just comparing those two i could just as well say the DS is a piece of shit ;|

in the case of PSP vs PS3 & 360, i do appreciate my PSP more. i spend more time on it and would even rather have it than my ps3, more than just for mobility/convenience reasons. where is this "next level" you speak of 'cause i think i've seen all that is available within our technological reach ;o

assuming everyone here has played (and still plays consistently) with all the consoles in the current market, every single answer posted here would just be preference. i think i'm one of the few who considers the great and bad aspects of all the consoles and STILL prefer the PSP over all. of course, the war between fanboys has been goin' on forever and will continue to go on, but i will defend my beloved PSP even after sony stops supporting it lol. even without the consideration that it's recently been in a slump, i think it's made a huge enough market dent (in both console and game sales) that it deserves to be considered a serious console.

The PSP sucks when compared to the Game Boy Color.

[Tsukuyomi-No-Mok...]

The PSP sucks when compared to the Game Boy Color.

damn that's a bit of an overstatment

[heyo-captain-jac...]

I don't think so. Can you play Pokemon Gold or Crystal on the PSP? How about The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages? And Driver? Or any Megaman game?

emulators

[queen]

yes, as if you could play even a quarter of the PSP games on game boy/DS ;|

[heyo-captain-jac...]

Nobody likes emulators.

[queen]

^ the point is there's a way to play them. there's no way to play PSP games on game boy. tell me, how does god of war look on your game boy color ;o

[heyo-captain-jac...]

It doesn't matter. God of War sucked.

[Insurmountable]

I use emulators.

But Personally I love my PS3, I use it more than my 360. Although will PS3 make a comeback? I doubt it. They have already made plenty of decisions for the PS4 and it will be coming out in a couple of years. Although this year I've seen more PS3 being sold before the 360 just because so many people don't want to deal with the hassle of having to send their xbox to microsoft every time it breaks to get it fixed or a new one.

I have a DS and a PSP, and honestly I would say some things on the PSP just look amazing and so bright and pretty. The DS is getting better with their graphics though, the game Moon that just came out has pretty good graphics from what I heard and PSU is coming out in October and they have some of the best graphics that you have seen on a DS.

People like Nintendo though, its a kids company.

Of course, would you rather have just some fanboy who really doesn't have a good enough reason to love his PS3? I rather point out all the facts about the PS3 and all the greatest innovations than to just say, uh ya... PS3 > all because I said so!

Nope, sorry. So far this year the PSP is out selling the PS3. Even though both are wayyy behind. Wii and DS are kicking everything's ass though. There's an article there that says 360 is still outselling PS3 4 to 1. But, I mean, the Wii is being bought like crazy.

Oh, and these charts are only updated with official console sales information from their respected companies.

And I dunno how many times I've said this, but the 360 hardware issue is over with. They've fixed it. Most every 360 made now is fine. I think a 3 year warranty and a free month of Xbox Live are more than enough compensation if they do mess up.

[illriginal]

It only took Microsoft 3,4,5 years to finally fix their console lol =x

Seems their first try beat the hell out of sony's, how many consoles have they put out now?

[illriginal]

That's fine... but how many of those xbox consoles had to be re-purchased because a lot of times microsoft denied fixing it? And how many times have majority of XBOX360s have been sent to Microsoft to be repaired? I can compare a chair from the dollar store to a chair from say Office Depot. The dollar store is gonna sell more of their 1 dollar quality chair compared to the better quality and a lot more expensive chair from Office Depot.

last i heard microsoft was fixing their mistake. what about the playstations?

What about SONY? lol

Other than the fact that they're coming out with a mini-dvr for the PS3 and developing a shit load more games this year.

[smoke]

^ Shitload more? Source please, because I've failed to say any impressive exclusives other than Killzone 2. Even that's getting an 8.5 average review.

See this is why people need to read the whole thread, or at least the last few pages before they make themselves look stupid. We already discussed how hypocritical it is to say this. Sony's PlayStation 2 had a high failure rate. Especially with the disk drive, or it would just decide to take a shit and never work again. It's a learning process. PS2 was Sony's 2nd console, just like the 360 is Microsoft's. The only difference is that Sony didn't do anything about it. Microsoft has provided a 3 year FREE warranty, and if your console breaks any time during those 3 years, your console will be repaired and sent back along with a free month of Xbox Live. And I have no idea where you got the idea that Microsoft denies repairing a console. I have never heard of that. The only way they deny repairs is if you open the Xbox and mess with its insides, which is perfectly legit. Every electronics company uses that as a rule. And Microsoft fixing the problem 3,4,5 years later? The problem was fixed a year and a half after the first batch of 360's were released. Up until recently, that first batch was still in cycle. I hardly ever hear of any issues with newer 360's.

Man, you really, really need to research before you speak.
