Last-Gen Console Discussions (PS3, Xbox 360, Wii)

Ricodrayz vert nice rant dirk agrees with you.

I don't mind giddy fanboys. I hate haters. People who blindly hate a console just to hate it. PS3 bashers are the worst, then Xbox bashers, then Wii bashers.

lol yeah, Damn shame 🙁 Does get under my skin overtime lol

That is certainly genuine hypocrisy in making much of the Gamecube's high graphics capacity and then later saying graphics do not matter when it comes to the Wii. You might excusse it on the grounds of having perception changed by Nintendo's new approach to gaming, but more likely it is indeed just them being blind.

Anyway, the Wii is brilliant.

Couldnt agree more Ush

Well I could wrong. But after playing the wii for a few days the awesome effect of the wiimote is wearing off for me, and in a few years the appeal will be gone for me.

They said that about gaming in the days of the Atari VCS20 and Colecovision.

Whilst this is not going to permanently transform all aspects of gaming, the approach is here to stay.

It is on the up, whilst PC gaming is dying.

Will anyone get an Apple system if it came outlol. I don't know what possible games only for that system will they have. EWW

And is getting less and less popular all the time. As it stands, it is slowly dying.

If there's a thread for Wii, please move me there. Thank you.

Wii Love It!
Here's a simple, to the point review of the new Wii, for those on the fence still!

It's just been this year. This year was really shitty for PC gaming, barely anything came out Next year you'll see a big bang in PC gaming. Some huge huge games are coming out next year that will definitely reinvigorate PC gaming, combine this with Vista and Direct X 10 and PC gaming will be alive and well.

Console gaming or bust! (For now).

They will be less big than the last big wave.

PC gaming has been in this slow decline for a long time now. Piracy isn't helping, of course.

Yeah, a bit early to say it's dying, though. Just in a slump, I think. Plus, Microsoft is making the effort to normalize packaging ti make PC games easier to identify and find in a store. That should help a bit.

MS is making a huge deal about PC gaming with Vista.

Pretty much making PC gaming similiar to console gaming by having standards on PC boxes and ratings (rating system for configurations),lk installilation, and other stuff. Its all in this huge article in PC Gamer.

It will never be as big as console, but it will never die either. There will always be games. People have been saying that PC gaming is dead, buts its not. It also helps that its cheaper to produce for the PC.
