Ah, despite the fact that I won't be getting the Wii or PS3 on launch, I'm pretty excited for the new systems to come out. Can't wait to see what reviews the launch games get, and read all the articles about the whack jobs camping outside of stores for their system. I love hardware launches.
And yes, The Wii will most definately outprofit the other systems, for the obvious reason that it's the only system that directly gives the manufacturer a profit.

Yeah in the begining both Xbox and PS3 will lose money off the consoles but in the end they will start to gain money for there consoles and software.
the wii was going to sale at 200 but they saw the PS3 price and said screw that bumb it up 50 bucks. But the Wii does graphical look like my ass so they wont be in for the long hall. I predict a 5 year life span for the wii.
I think that most everyone will get a PS3 eventually I have been saying that the whole time. I may be 5 years down the road but you will eventually break down and get one because they will have a ton of exclusive games. And the PS3 won’t always be 600 bucks
This in turn will make the PS3 sale more than all the systems in the long run but the PS3 is definitely the tortoise in the race not the hair.
I’m waiting 2 years, unless a really good game comes out before then.

Um five yeras from now?
Dude, what do you think will happen in 5 years in terms of graphics, thus making PS3 obselete.
How many exclusives are for the PS3?
the obvious ones like DMC, metal gear, gradius, and others. But there is one game that, as PVS put it, "is so orgasmically awesome that it warrants me blowing my cash to play it." That game......is ZOE 3. I posted a topic earlier about this. And personally, if they get that game right, for that alone, I would get a PS3 once the price drops abit. But even ZOE 3 couldn't make me pay 600$ for the initial setup. 😈 I love sony, I do, but that's outrageous. I'd prefer to be using the dual shock controller, but apparently Sony got sued over misappropriation of the patent and lost the court case. So, they came up with the tilt module stolen from the Wii's idea. There are plenty of good games and ideas over there, .........buttttttttt........ the price tag again is a major deterrent.
Xbox has but one or two trump cards at this point, Halo, and apparently gears of war. Xbox live is damn good, and they do have a good setup, however, sony making online free is tempting..... But I see xbox as the weak link and the least potentially interesting of the new systems.
And finally we come to my prediction for the new kid on the block, the system to beat this round. That system, is the Nintendo Wii. The controller concept is revolutionary. (I made a funny! 😂 ) Games like red steel, which are vastly overshadowed on processing power and graphics by the likes of xbox and ps3 suddenly become interesting. Why? Because of the control concept. Imagine, actually sword fighting and aiming at enemies with your own hands and arm movements. I remember sega tried to duplicate this idea with a motion sensor mat back in the genesis days. Didn't work of course, but the concept was good then, and it seems to be working now. I'm entranced at the possibilities for fighting games. 😮💨

Yeah, sword fighting would be pretty cool.. but the Wii's poor graphical capabilities make the 360 better in my opinion. But then you put the prices into consideration... 250 vs. 400. Personally, if Nintendo matched the 360's graphics with the new controller then I would probably pay $500 for that system... I garauntee that both the Wii and the 360 will beat Sony.. there's just no competition.
Wii60 all the way!

???Egads!! I do believe we are talking to a plant!!!
This man floodeth each post with the word PS3(Playstation 3) at least 2 - 4 times in every post!!
Either he is truly an obsessive fanboy - or he is a member of the evil Sony Empire - who is secretly trying to brainwash us with repetitive rhetoric.(though I must say - there probably is no real difference between the two)

I've ownly played ZOE 1 but I think that it has one of the best control systems for a game of that type. When I played DBZ I had hoped that it would use a similar control system, I was dissapointed. I hope Zoe 3 is good.
...There's is one thing that I honestly don't understand. And that is the constant impression that the Wii's graphics are crap.
Think about this for a second. Nintendo, just like everyone else, is pushing forward. That's only natural. That's the only way to justify putting out a new console: Because it is, in some way, better than the previous console.
The jump from the PS1/N64/Dreamcast generation to the PS2/GC/Xbox generation was fueled largely on graphics. People liked the fact that games looked better, and so bought on those terms: whichever console had the prettiest games.
Now, since that worked last time, yes, Microsoft and Sony are putting ALL their chips into graphics processing power. Nintendo, since they couldn't have comparable graphics for a competitive price, opted out of the direct graphics war, instead choosing a new approach: new ways of playing games.
However, that is not to say that Nintendo is ignoring graphics ALTOGETHER. The Wii still is twice as powerful graphically as the GC. That is NOT "crap" graphics. Yes, I know it can't and won't compare with the 360 or PS3, but that doesn't mean it'll look like something stuck to the bottom of your shoe.
It's not one or the other. Just LOOK at some of the games. They aren't as shiny as Gears of War or Resistance, but they don't look like the original MGS, either.
