Look for Nintendo to also rise in respect to the other two with the new controller.

this is incorrect.

I agree. The new controller is a gimmick like the DS. It will be useful in a few games but is overall not important.

I'm saying OPs statement is incorrect because it will deter the casual gamer from buying it right away. Nintendo has to hope all of the fanboys buy one and show it off to their friends. I've said here before that Nintendo needs to package this system with 2 controllers, because they will sell a [censored] load more of these systems, assuming they actually come out with games that utilize the controller.

whatever you do, for the love of god, do not get a first gen system. especially if you are going to get a 360, wait until they put blu ray or hddvd in it...

[/ QUOTE ]

Just a note, even if they do put HD DVD in it (doubt BluRay since that's a Sony-backed technology), it won't allow devs to make larger games. It'll just mean you can watch movies on HD-DVD.

[/ QUOTE ]

yep.

there won't be any good games at launch anyways. all the good stuff will be delayed til spring at the earliest (see PSP). might as well wait.

PGR3 is getting pushed back? noooooooo

man, I'm jonesin' to get the 360....can somebody explain what I would get if I wait 6 months and how it will be worth waiting 6 months?

I should state I don't have any system now. My roommate always had the ps2 and I loved to play the football games. He moved out last month and now I have nothing. It's going to have to be a huge arguement to get me to wait

:shrug: It doesn't do much for me, but I'm not really into handhelds.

The Revolution controller will have to overcome a lot of, "Huh? reactions. I'll try it out, of course, but it's not at all appealing to me at this point.

Is the 360 going to be faster? I was reading something that said it had 3 processors running at 3.2 ghz.

But the video card is only 500mhz?

the ps2 can already PWN most computers at real time rendering. The computers used for rendering 3d animation at my school were way slower than the current consols (like 0.5-1 min per frame(30 frames in a second of animation)).

I think the 360 will have the better games overall and may even end up rivalling PS3's customer base by the end of the cycle. However PS3 will still be the better platform for out-there niche games and styles of gaming that are getting to be old-skool, e.g. single-player RPGs.

Meh... looks like a cross between an iPod and a remote.

I was hoping for something more like this.
