nice list so most people have a ds or a wii, ive always had a playstation, but still waiting for a price drop here in the uk, happy with my wii at the moment

rgelera · 09-30-2008, 11:34 PM

nintendo ds and sony psp..
arent consoles 0.0
and computer counts as a console

but the thing about the ds containing a library full of crap games
100% true
only a few games are good
like 10-30

i think these counts are more accurate:
wii= 32.7 million
xbox 360= 21 million
ps3= 15.6 million
from vgchartz.org
but sometimes they're wrong
like pokemon platinum selling 900 thousand in the first 2 days
-.- it sold 1.1 million on the first 2 days

Diverse game library and robust graphics mean that the Xbox 360 is a well-rounded gaming console

No. Just no. The Xbox is about as diverse as FPSs to RPG-FPSs.

Quote:

Online play isn't quite as robust or as full-featured as Xbox Live.

True, but it is free.

Quote:

Motion controls often feel tacked-on or awkward; only a handful of games make great use of the Wii Remote.

True. Even some Nintendo owned franchises fail to use them. (I'm looking at you SSBB)

Quote:

Extremely large library contains an alarming amount of crap.

So true...

anyways ssbb wasnt meant to use the wii remote functions (even though it used one)

Microsoft Xbox 360 Spoiler Worldwide Sales: 20+ Million Number Of Games: 600+ Strengths: + Diverse game library and robust graphics mean that the Xbox 360 is a well-rounded gaming console + The Xbox 360's controller naturally excels at action games of all types, particularly shooters such as Halo 3 or Gears of War + Xbox Live is still the best way to play games online with friends or strangers; it sets the standard for online gaming. Weaknesses: - Hardware quality is an ongoing concern, especially the dreaded "Red Ring of Death." If your Xbox 360 malfunctions, expect to wait weeks for a replacement. - If you want to play games online, you must pay a $50 subscription fee every year for Xbox Live Access. - No Blu-ray support or integrated Wi-Fi network connection. If you want your game console to be your entertainment hub, the Xbox 360 isn't the best choice. What You Get: Xbox 360 Console Composite cable & Component cable (non-HD and HD) Xbox 360 controller Xbox 360 Headset (for online voice communication) What you'll want to buy: HDMI cable (for superior video on HD TV's) Extra Xbox 360 Controller (for multiplayer games) Wireless Networking Adapter (for online play over Wi-Fi) Xbox Live Membership (for online gameplay) 120 GB Hard Drive (for extra space for movie and game downloads) Sony PlayStation 3 Spoiler Worldwide Sales: 14.5 Million Number of Games: 180+ Strengths: + Diverse game library; hardcore action; RPGs, sports, and some excellent downloadable PSN games + Blu-ray disc allows for eye popping HD movies, as well as larger games with more content. + Support for MP3s, DiVX, Blu-ray, Bluetooth, movie downloads, games, and more mean the PS3 is a do-it-all entertainment hub. Weaknesses: - Price remains an issue; the PS3 is still the most expensive game console on the market. - Online play isn't quite as robust or as full-featured as Xbox Live. - More games are requiring installation, gobbling up gigabytes of the PS3's internal storage. What You Get: PlayStation 3 Console Composite cable (non-HD) Sixaxis or new DualShock 3 controller What You'll Want To Buy: HDMI or Component cable (for HD TVs) Bluetooth headset (for online voice communications) Extra DualShock 3 (for multiplayer games) Nintendo Wii Spoiler Worldwide Sales: 28+ Million Number Of Games: 275+ Strengths: + At $250, the Wii costs less than the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. Gmaes generally costs a few buck less, too. + The Wii Remote is more immersive than a standard control pad because your motions control the on-screen actions. + Interesting peripherals, such as the fitness-based Wii Fit and the gun-like Zappper, make the Wii fun for non-gamers and gamers alike. Weaknesses: - Motion controls often feel tacked-on or awkward; only a handful of games make great use of the Wii Remote. - The Wii doesn't output in high definition. Overall, its graphics aren't impressive compared to those of the Xbox 360 or PlayStation 3. - No fancy video downloads or DVD movie support here; the Wii is strictly a gaming system. What You Get: Wii Console Composite cable (non-HD) Wii Remote Wii Nunchuck attachment Wii Sports (pack-in game) What You'll Want To Buy: Component cable (for cleaner video and 480p support) Extra Wii Remotes and Nunchucks (for multiplayer games) SD card (extra storage space for downloads) Sony PSP Spoiler Worldwide Sales: 37 Million Number Of Games: 350+ Strengths/Weaknesses: + Console-quality graphics on the go! - Many games lack innovation What You Get: $200 God Of War Blundle "Kratos Red" PSP System God of War: Chains Of Olympus Syphon Filter: Combat Ops download voucher Superbad UMD movie PSP Charger Nintendo DS Spoiler Worldwide Sales: 77 Million Number Of Games: 575+ Strengths/Weaknesses: + Unique touch-screen control begets innovative titles. - Extremely large library contains an alarming amount of crap.
