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

How is it NOT? It took Xbox Live, some many years later, to even salvage some fans. Even then it was with a majority of old games or rehashed sequels.

I can't think of one good game that was exclusive to it. Halo maybe, but that was overrated.

Well, I know the XBOX is not profitable.

But at the end of September of 2005, the XBOX sold 20 million consoles. This is from the official manufacter.
Well, it hasnt done great like the PS2, but it hardly is called an flop.

What you think about the games doesnt really matter. It's what people buy. If you think the XBOX has crappy sequels and crappy old games, thats fine by me, I somewhat agree with you. But does that reflect on why it flopped. No.

Just checking Game Ranking.com to see whats the top 10 games were of all 3 consoles and how many were not sequels.
XBOX has 4 with Halo, Splinter Cell, Prince of Persia (pretty much completly different than the original), and KOTAR
PS2 has 1 with God Of War. ( I could also include GTA3, but that can go both ways
GC has 2 with Vietiful Joe and Prince of Persia.
I know that it just 10 games, but these are the best games out there (according to averages of critics)
Overall, maybe others beat the XBOX, but its impossible to find that out.

But to say XBOX has just sequels is wrong. Every console has thier strengths.
PS2 has the biggest amount of games, but alot of them suck, and they're a few big games but less killer apps.
XBOX is the port king,
GC has the most killer apps, but less software support. The're probaby the biggest abusers of sequels and rehashes. How many Mario Karts, mario sport games are theyr?
Zelda's and Metriods are amazing buth they're pretty much the same game since the 80's.

I dont think XBOX flopped completly, it couldnt contend with Sony.

lol if Microsoft can get lana then they can get anyone. AHH, I dn why they screwed Microsoft with it since even the DS gets the game 😐 but future FF games are being made for 360..I guess different versions or something but come on LAN!! Blue Dragon might be your new fav Rpg 😖hifty: if not then look at thePS3's 600 dollar price and their games will cost lot 😈

LAN? Meh, I'm not a fan of gaming online.

I am most certainly getting a Wii though, that's what I've been holding out for since day one.

Plus by the time GTA4 comes out for 360 the price may have dropped some 😛

Zelda's and Metriods are amazing buth they're pretty much the same game since the 80's.

Yet they're still, 20 years later, two of the most popular and consistently best game franchises. I would say that the Zelda games rank up with the FF series and Mario as most popular ever.

Oh god, dumb people and thsoe taht never played a game already open their mouth on the name of the Nintendo system...they swear its for kids, and their graphic whores, and no one wants to jump in front of a tv when friends are watching....sigh, and PS3 ll I hear it has better graphics *Blank face* Well who cares, I am getting a WII the sec it comes out...if anything I am a nintendo fanboy *drools* also my brother has a 360 so yeah no need for that and it could be MGS 8000 the last snake, and I won't get PS3 until its 2 dollars....Plus Snake is in Smash bros wtf lol nice. EEK

I think the system wars are always very interesting. Watching how one company tries to out do the other, and what little tricks each company has. I remember how shocking it was when the Playstation was bigger than Nintendo 64, unheard for a system in it's first generation, from a company that had never done consoles before, becoming the number one console in the world. It was crazy.

PSX's main selling point -- and the reason FF went over to it -- was that they were using CDs for their games and could fit far more info on them than cartridges.

Beyond the FFs though I still prefered my N64 😛

I liked both systems equally.

N64 was the best system ever made. Period.

N64 edged it for me because of Zelda, Mario, and Goldeneye, plus the silly games that were just fun like Yoshi's Story. I don't care HOW kiddy that game was meant to be, I adore it.

😆 Yeah... I loved that game too

Golden eye was the single most fun I ever had in multiplayer lol beats halos ass.

Yeah, PS had great games though too, Metal Gear Solid, all the FF games, RE, Silent Hill, some great sports games, gran turismo, Tekken 3.

But I think my favorites from N64 were

Banjoe Kazooie
Banjo Tooie
Donkey Kong
Goldeneye
Mario 64
Diddy Kong racing
and Mario Kart

I liked MGS but the first one I found to be too easy. FF I love, but RE and Silent Hill I was never able to get into (they scared the hell out of me, shut up). I've never been big on racing games beyond Mario Kart and Diddy Kong Racing...however I love the Tekken games.

Between the N64 and PSX...the N64 simply had more stuff I liked.

MGS is one of the best games of all time, IMO.

It was a good game...but I had beaten it in about 6 hours. Too short and too easy IMO.

Though it was SO much fun hiding in boxes 😂

Did you skip through the dialogue or something?
