I think once the kinks are worked out, the Wii will be THE system for first person shooters. Right now Red Steel and Far Cry Vengeance are showing it's viable, though they have their own problems. I think when Metroid Prime 3 comes around, we'll see if the Wiimote can really handle first person gunplay superbly or if the dual joysticks are still the perefered way of playing it on a console.

Yeah, zombie... it's hard to argue with 3.19 Million units sold within the first two months of the system's life. The Wii still may yet come in third place, but it's by no means a Virtual-Boy-Caliber flop.

While it's impossible to deny that the 360 and PS3 have their own pros and the Wii has its own cons, I think the PS3 has the most against it at the moment, and until that changes, the Wii will continue to dominate it. Most of the highly touted things about the PS3, I don't really care about. I don't need a BluRay player (until one format becomes the standard, moving to next gen seems like folly to me) or an all-purposes media center, and I don't have an HDMI-compatible television. And right now, the PS3 game library isn't enough to justify the price tag.

please share your info on this,I have had NO problems with mine at all,so please share what problems there are so I can fix mine.


The biggest problem I've heard of is backwards compatibility issues with PS2 and PS1 games. I've heard some people were having online troubles, but it's not as widespread as the backwards compatibilty troubles.

The fact that there is only one game on the PS3 that interests me has something to do with it. And Sony's condenscending marketing strategy makes me a bit of a schadenfreude towards them at the moment.

Yes, I don't 'even' have one and can't afford it, but I wouldn't really be interested yet even if I COULD afford it. Because there's nothing I wanna play on it but Resistance Fall of Man, which I'm more than happy to wait till 2008 to play.

As for the Xbox 360 not having HDMI? Doesn't mean anything to me. I don't have an HDTV and don't expect to have one anytime soon.

Which might bring some aprehension to mr. Jimmy Carter, being 82 years old, odds are he'll live 10 more years tops (unless he breaks the record himself).


Lovely. Ten more years of that man spewing his hatred for America? Maybe he and Ford could trade places.
