Don't get me wrong, the PS3 has a decent online system, but the 360's for the time, is just better. However, if rumor turns out to be true (and this I have only heard through word-of-mouth... and not the most reliable source) Sony's online system may improve exponentially... though I have yet to see any evidence that this is truly going to happen.
Nintendo's, however is simply worthless. There is no friends list, except for codes you have type in, and that still gives no way to tell if your friends are online, the matches lag an unacceptable ammount, there really aren't that many games worth playing online... Let's face it, online gaming is not Nintendo's primary concern, they're all about "getting the family together"... and making millions by publishing hordes of gimmicky games (like Beach Fun Summer Challenge, Action Girlz Racing, Wii Music, Carnival Games and Wii fit) occasionally producing games for the hardcore (Metroid Other M, The Next Zelda Game, Super Mario Galaxy, etc.)
What happened to the Wii is what I am terrified will happen to the 360 when Natal comes out. Ugh, I dread looking at the 360 wall in Game Stop and seeing millions of games like "Family Party: 30 Great Games" and "Beach Fun Summer Challenge" with only the occasional Halo, or Assassin's Creed, or Mass Effect.
Taunts had a very important purpose in the Art of Fighting series which I believe were the first games they appeared in. They diminished you're enemies spirits to make their special moves completely pathetic and ineffective. Creative taunting was the only way to beat Mr. Karate in the first game or else he would absolutely wreck you.

They do what makes money and right now, Wii Fit is the second best selling non-bundled game of all time.

These are both cases of companies ignoring the past. Sony just forgot what happened to the Neo Geo, the Jaguar, and the 3DO but are now correcting their price snafu (but not their PS2 snafu). Microsoft will change its policies once they start paying out billions in class action settlements like Toshiba is.

i think the dumbest thing dealing with video games ive seen recently is some guy who made games based on the Columbine Shooting and the Virginia Tech Massacre

I played this one http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Columbine_rpg wasn't that bad, I just played it because of the controversy around it though, particularly the Braid thing.
Re: Re: The Most Dumbest Things that Involed a Videogame
ARE YOU SERIOUS? that is ridiculous.
i would say that the stupidest thing that i can think of would be that they made more than one halo game LOL jk couldn't resist.
that one is probably the stupidest one actually, i mean how can you be that in love with a game that you starve yourself?
Re: Re: Re: The Most Dumbest Things that Involed a Videogame
Yea, and not just because of WoW, Everquest 2 was involved as well. There were also IRL killings because of EQ2.
EDIT:
Well, this has happened not to just PS3. And PS3 has a somewhat potentially more powerful CPU, but X360 has a more powerful GPU. It evens out somewhat.
