Next-Gen Consoles, PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, Revolution Options

[KrunkMuzik]

The Next Generation Consoles... Here are pics of either protypes or official designs of the Sony PlayStation 3, Microsoft Xbox 360, and Nintendo Revolution. Im a BIG fan of the PlayStation series, but the design of the PlayStation 3 looks a lil retro don't you think? Scanner-ish... I really don't like the design of the controller neither. But overall, It's uh... "sexy" lol. We finally get a choice of colors too! I personally like the black one! The Revolution looks awesome as well, but I don't like Nintendo, so moving on. Xbox 360... I wouldn't call it a console anymore. It looks like my dad's Gateway computer...

Which one you think is the best?
Anyways, here are pics. Enjoy!

I already saw them, my friend showed them too me, ninento looks pretty nice, i like the ps and xbox better though.

[wayne]

p s 3 is going to be the most amazing system ever.

[gOODpIRATE]

ps3 is going to be rad. i saw it for the first time today on tv. you right, the new xbox looks like a computer heart drive, but i think i like the ps3's design better. and plus, it seems like ps3 has better graphics.

[tofumonzter]

definitly sony playstation.

I don't like Nintendo

why not?

i think this is a bit premature, since we still don't know too much about all of the consoles (the amount of info is biased towards microsoft, since they released first, so this poll might not be too great)

revolution. first let's look at console design (which really doesn't matter that much, but a lot of people made a big deal about it when nintendo had a big purple console, so it's only fair to do it now).

xbox 360 looks like a ipod crossed with a standard atx case. ps3 looks ok, but i don't like the spiderman font, the color and the shape is a little weird. the revolution's case is really small and good looking, and the drive is very nice looking.

the controllers: xbox controller is another copy of the dreamcast controller. ps3 controller is plain ugly. we don't know anything about the revolution's controller.

again, it's too early to say much. but right now, i'm really excited over the speculation concerning the revolution. to tell you the truth, i was actually planning on getting the ps3, until i started hearing all this great stuff about the revolution.

[pandamonium]

my concern is about the games of nintendo tho. like as much as i love nintendo they are also shooting themselves in the foot. cause here they are going to offer hifi capabilities.. but are there that many games that people can play with each other. i have been watching the e3 conference now and like they havent showed that many games except the usuall zelda metriod and mario... like they are basically recycled games. this is the only thing that worries me about nintendo. they say they are going to branch out of the younger audience (they are never going to do that).

but hopefully there will be a more widespread variety of games if they allow people to download the years of games worth for FREE. lol knowing that wont really happen. i hope they are free cause nintendo needs to be strong. now dont take me wrong i love nintendo but they need to catch up, but i am still getting revolution.

I like the design of the Revolution the best because its more portable than the other systems , but im getting a PS3 because they make the best games. The Xbox360's graphics look nice though.

I remember when I first got my N64. I didn't get a Playstation because my cousin had me hyped up that the N64 was going to be the best system. So I went with the N64 and although I liked games such as Zelda, GoldenEye, and Perfect Dark I realized that PS had the better games. Nintendo just makes game that are targets Kids. So when the Gamecube and PS2 comes around I chose the PS2 because its for mature players such as myself. Every since then I've been a satisfied gamer. Besides in the gaming market PS2 is kicking everyone elses ass. I really dont give a d*mn if Nintendo paved the way for these other consoles. My heart is so content that I will never buy another nintendo product again.

They aren't branching out to the younger audience? This conflicts with the "OMG NINTENDO IS T3H KIDDY I PLAY GTA !!!!111one" image that everyone attributes with Nintendo. From what Mr. Reggie Fils-Aime has said, it sounds like Nintendo is going to try to provide something for everyone in the revolution. Nintendo Legacy games from 20 years ago all the way to the newest games.

but hopefully there will be a more widespread variety of games if they allow people to download the years of games worth for FREE. lol knowing that wont really happen. i hope they are free cause nintendo needs to be strong. now dont take me wrong i love nintendo but they need to catch up, but i am still getting revolution.

I doubt it will be for free, but I'm hoping it will be pretty cheap. $1 per NES game sounds fair to me. maybe $5 per SNES game?

Oh yeah, Gamespy has you covered on online service. Nintendo Revolution Online service will be FREE OF CHARGE.

Coupled with the fact that Smash Bros is coming out, I think the revolution is going to look pretty nice next to my n64 and dreamcast :)

that's a bit unfair, and incorrect. Sony doesn't make games. Nintendo is the only company that makes first party games for their console. The graphics you see are rumoured to be pre rendered. Sony did this last time with the PS2. They showed pre rendered movies, so that the Dreamcast graphics would look like trash. But when it came out, no one could master the "Emotion Engine", and the graphics of the first PS2 games were worse than some of the Dreamcast games!

i also think this "nintendo is not for mature people" argument has been overused, and is completely incorrect. half of the people i hear that say this are younger than me! nintendo has a fair share of "mature" games. but who cares about whether a game is mature or not, what matters the most is if the game is fun.

Blood, gore, violence does not make a game good.

Put it this way, would you rather play Windwaker (GC) or Pariah (XBOX)?

Yes, the Playstation 2 is number 1. So what? Sony is losing money on every PS2 they sell. They are forced to make the money back on software, which is the only reason they are still dominant. They got their console onto the market first, they locked in all the contracts so that third party developers couldn't develop for other consoles. Ditto for Microsoft, they have been losing money for quite a while now on every console. In fact, without Halo, the XBox would be a complete disaster.

Bottom line: Mature does not always mean the most fun. Games are what sell the console. The Revolution will have the biggest line up of games, available on demand. It has great first party franchises to bank on. Plus, it seems like it will be the least expensive of all three consoles. This is what won me over.

Kyro i respect you becuase you seem to love your Dc. The Dreamcast till this day has been my fav console. Oh i remember the times speeding through playing Sonic Adventure, and then wooping my bro's ass at Power Stone and Soul Calibur . ahhhhh , Good Times .

4x4 action with Power Stone 2? Hells yeah.

And I agree with Kryo on the non-kiddey aspect of Nintendo. Everyone thinks their games are kiddy because they are fun, and ANYONE can play them. They make games for an audience that knows no bounds. Its not as if they make sesame street games. Remember Metroid? Starfox? Are those aimed at children? No. Kids play them, sure, but they definitely contain a more mature form of violence than the jumping on turtles heads that Mario provides. Either way however, they are aimed at everyone, from kids to adults. And I KNOW Im 19 and I KNOW I love my Nintendo.

Considering the free online abilities of both the Rev and the DS, I wonder about the downloadable Nintendo archive. You would think that some would be free and some would be charged, I think.

[Eryi]

I want the Nintendo Revolution or the Playstation 3. The Revolution can play all Nintendo games, from Super Nintendo to Gamecube. The only thing I find cool about Xbox 360 is that they have Live Video Chat. Kingdom Heart 2 betetr come out in PS2 format.

[Justingamemaster]

i'd have to say haha i was going for the PS3 this whole time...mostly because of 'CELL' and all i've heard...how it's supposed to be godly? in some sort of way? I went to Gamerzplanet forums...haha they said the PS3 was so powerful (CELL) it melted on the inside...Personally i think that's a bunch a crap. I dunno. Xbox doesn't have a lot going for it except halo 3 and stuff...I feel empty because the whole reason i bought my xbox was for halo and halo2...and when halo 2 came out...i was so disappointed! Ah well.

hehehe also on the side I'd have to admit Pokemon isn't THAT bad.

[karrar]

im getting 360 and the rev. What about yal ?

[MasterMind5823]

ahh...rivalries.I have to say i am nintendo biased. I still respect what sony has done.but you can't compete with the experience that nintendo has.even though they continue to recycle games, they are always fun. I agree that more maturity doesn't always mean more fun. Revolution looks so sexy compared to the gamecube and its seems like sony is recycling their theory of releasing a fat system then to release and thinner one later. That's pretty pointless.I like how x360 looks but it does look like a computer. I can't wait for online smash bros. i will kick people's asses and i guarentee you i will get beat too.That's the real joy of playing games.when the playing field is level, it makes for a fun experience.
I still love nintendo though

[fameONE]

is it just me or does the Revolution design look awfully similar to a PS2?

Nevertheless, I've graduated from Nintendo and I'm down with Sony.

[neko]

Im looking forward to revolution and ps3. eh.. im guessing.. revolution (like any of the other nintento console) will have good multiplayer games and ps3 will have the rpgs and such.

a MUST read.

i hate how Sony feeds us all this BS and fanboy after fanboy just eats it all up.

[Tung]

Hehe, I read "Game Over" all the time. Good stuff.

And yeah, I realized that none of the PS3 demos were even remotely real when they were using a PS2 controller to do them. It was fairly easy to see that they werent playing at all.

I think all the stuff J.Allard said is maybe possible, but I doubt anyone will use it for those purposes.
