It's true that we can't rightly fire up the system and declare, "It's Revolution time!" On the other hand, we have an excuse to play well into the Wii hours. :-P

:shock: (flap flap flap flap)

Lets not forget the Wii's controller: The "Wii-mote"

The Wii looks like it will be the best thing ever.
Sorry that role has been filled already.

I won't get any. If I had to choose I'd get the Wii, but my gaming needs are filled by PC MMO's. (GUILDWARS FTW)

I am not surprised in the least that the final choice was most selected.

I am surprised that someone actually voted for the P$3.
See?

I am surprised that no one voted for the 360 yet. Even if it should be the underdog this time around.

Well I alread have the 360 so That's off the checklist, and as for the PS3, I'm buying it for the tony Hawk games, and Medal of Honor games (P.S. Rooster - thats a War game, and it's for the PS3, theres also America's army, and Call of Duty, Etc.)

The Wii/Revolution will be bought for Legend of Zelda and Any Possible Starfox games in it. Plus The new Sonic Games

also, Did I hear this riught, are they making a remake of FFVII for PS3? :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :grin: :grin: :grin: :grin:

The FF7 clip at the PS3 debute made everyone think it was going to be redone. Sony continualy denied it, but once the hype died down they announced that they are in fact making FF7 for PS3. However, it's not going to be done for a long while. This being the case, I advise waiting till the launch of FF7 before thinking about P$3.

It's an RGS for me. Usually I always get one of the new consoles right away and another a little further down the road (for example, I got a Gamecube when it first game out, but a PS2 a couple years after that). But between life and my other hobbies, I just don't devote enough time to video games anymore to warrent getting two consoles this time around. It's also for those same exact reasons that I would never in my right mind pay over $500 for a PS3. It just doesn't seem worth it (no new Sonic the Hedgehog game for me :cry: )

I'd love to get the Nintendo Wii so I could play games featuring characters I know and love, but I'm not happy with the system at all. For one thing, the graphics are only suppose to be a slight improvement over the Gamecube. Now, I don't believe graphics are the end all ingrediant to make a great game, but if I'm shelling out $250 for a brand new system, I expect it to be quite the step up from the one I already own. Secondly, I really do not like the controller at all. I'm all for innovation and whatnot (I love my Nintendo DS), but the whole remote control shape and screen sensor just feel really gimmicky to me. (I could go into that deeper, but I don't want to go on and on here). So I don't find it appealing at all, I'm sorry.

As for X-Box 360.....well I just plain don't like you :P

So have fun with your new systems. I'm gonna go seek out all the cool Gamecube and PS2 games I missed the first time around *pops in Beyond Good and Evil*.

If it ain't broke, don't fix it. The PS pad rules all.
By which I assume you mean the Dualshock rather than the original pad without any analogue sticks. Which I find increadably uncomfortable to use.

Anyways - for me I'll be getting a Wii for sure, I already have a 360 (Gizensha in case anyone wants to friend me). The PS3... Maybe when the price comes down somewhat.

By the time PS3's price breaks $450, a newer model will be out. >_<;
Y'know it's true...
