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

Your post really goes a long way toward showing what the PS2 did right, and how the PS3 is the exact opposite.

Sony stuck a useless motion control feature in the SixAxis, and filled the PS3 with enough add-ons to call it a "media center" instead of a game console. Now they're pushing for a new motion controller. "Fancy motion controllers or useless add-ons."

"High quality build." I honestly cannot attest to the PS3's physical integrity, but I've already pointed out the quality failure in the Cell processor's architecture.

"Simplicity." With its myriad additional features and, again, the frustrating build of the hardware, the PS3 is anything but simple.

"Vast number of outstanding games." The PS3 lost the majority of its lucrative exclusives, which are now either cross-console or have jumped to other consoles exclusively. The number of games the PS3 has going for it alone is a mere handful.

There's even a Wii-Fit board, zapper, and classic controller. LULZ!
I mean, how many add-ons will they come up just to rip off they're customers.
I find it surprising that people actually spend their money in buying these useless stuff.

Gamers don't really need useless add-ons that nothing to the gameplay.
This is where the PS3/PS2's simplicity comes to play. All you need is a controller, none of those useless crap.

I was talking about the PS2's build quality, simplicity and library of games, NOT the PS3's lol

The funny thing about the Wii add-ons is, they actually contribute to the game you're playing. They do indeed add something to the gameplay.

All you need is a controller, none of those useless crap.

Didn't exactly stop Sony from making a bunch of useless crap (as you put it), though, did it now.

The zapper is a hunk of plastic, like the wheel, sure.

But both the remote and the board have been the incredibly popular driving forces behind the Wii's success. You saying they are useless gimmicks is like a man trying to hold back the tide. it's just evidently and objectively not true. It's become so popular as to scare Sony and Microsoft into making their own variants.

The classic controller is an add on for the (smaller) section of the Wii market that wants to play older games on it. Certainly includes me. It's not pricey as gamepads go.

And that link you gave is nothing to do with Nintendo. Those are all third party cash-ins.

Dear God...
seems like fashion and music trends are colliding with gaming trends now.

I fear for the future of the gaming world.
If this is where the gaming world is heading to..
No more hardcore games, all casual games.
Hope my son doesn't turn into a whiny crybaby wuss wearing pink thongs

Being a tad melodramatic today aren't you?

These casual games are turning children (and adults) too soft.

How? Why don't you try actually explaining yourself and attempting to back up your position?

Also:

That's been the case for a long time now. It's nothing new.

So, you'd rather all the kids were playing GTA and Killzone?

14+ boys shouldn't really bother with casual games (unless they want to take some time off hardcore games or mingle with girls/family, or are inherently or unconsciously homosexual)

EDIT: No offense to homosexuals

Okay, I thought I've heard and seen some stupid things on here before, but that is by far the stupidest thing yet. Not to mention highly insulting.

You might want to think a bit before you post again.

Also, don't think that simply saying "Oh, no offense" makes it okay. It doesn't change the fact that what you said IS highly offensive.

And saying "no offense" in no way makes what you said any less offensive.

It is true.
Kids are turning too soft nowadays. Partly because of too much control by parents; the things they are forced to adhere to (casual games, religious brainwashing, etc.)

I personally know some friends whose parents don't buy them a PS3/360 because parents believe they are too violent, even though they are 16 years of age. It's sad but true.

I don't like shovel-crap-ware as much as the next (gamer) guy, but that's just taking it too far

cool down, dude!

No, what you said was extremely insulting, and I'm a bit shocked that you cannot see that.

Parents actually monitoring their children and making decisions as to what they think is appropriate or not is not making kids soft. I wouldn't at all look down on someone not letting their child buy M-rated games (if anything I would respect them more for knowing what is appropriate and what isn't for their kids), considering those are games for adults. Not children. If Mom says no, then Little Johnny can wait until he's 17 and old enough to buy it himself. It's not going to harm him at all to wait until he's old enough.

Not to mention the fact that games like GTA and Killzone where you do nothing but go about killing things do not appeal to everyone. There are even, gasp, adults who do not like those sorts of games! What a concept. This does not mean they are soft, or anything like that. It simply means they have different tastes in games and find different things fun.

i saved some video files on to a flashdrive and watched em on my 360. but is there any way to transfer the data from the flashdrive to the 360 HD ?

i know on the PS3 you can but i cant find the option on the 360 to do it.
