People tend to forget that the Wii controllers+nunchuck attachments are only $20 more than 360 wireless controllers. A Wii+3 additional controllers will be $150 less than a 360 with 3 additional controllers. The Wii also comes with a classic pad and a game. If you insist on comparing the price of a Wii + 3 additional controllers, to a 360 with no additional controllers, as so many seem to find it fashionable to do as of late, you're reasoning is flawed.

It also assumes, in addition to graphics not improving much beyond current PS3 capabilities, that people will be content with consoles as they were. If the whole Wii controller thing gainst momentum in a big enough way, all players in the next console race will have similar setups. Virtual Reality seems to be biting at the back of people's minds lately, it's also possible we'll see someone take a more whole hearted stab at that than we've seen since Nintendo screwed up the Virtual Boy. It also assumes BluRay takes over. This may or may not happen. It is a larger media format than HD-DVD, but will that really make a difference? HD-DVD will have plenty of space for HiDef movies, multichannel audio, all that fun stuff and more. BluRay offers more space, but will we actually see studios doing anything with that, anything really worthwhile? Given the dissapointing extras on most DVDs, I'm thinking likely not. Also remember: Beta was better than VHS. Finally there's the things we simply cannot predict. Technological changes or innovation that turn everything on its ear.

Wow...That is easily the funniest I have ever read...The other two are overpriced and the PS3 isnt. The 600 comes with Wifi...So does Wii. And BluRay...Who says its going to win the next gen format war. What if HD takes the lead.
Funny thing is PS3 controllers will be 50-60 also^^ So its going to cost about the same amount for controllers for all systems And for online...The PS3 is so dam unknown still. the only game known to have free online is Resistence...No one else seems to know anything about it. And games...How about this. The 360 has games comming out actually in 2007^^ Wii also has a fantastic line up of games comming out. PS3 is going to make you wait for those games

If I recall they haven't officialy released a price for their controller, I think he is just comparing it with the Wii Remote, since both have some form of motion sense. Sony hasn't really released any price info, outside of the actual sku prices, so its all pretty much spectulation.
There is a sony press conf. on Oct. 31, so alot of those questions should be answered then Last edited by Lebron; 2006-09-29 at 20:16. |

The PS3 MIGHT not be overpriced when it is released. Sony is once again, able to play the new media format card like they did with the PS2. Will a standalone Blu-Ray player fall well below the $600 price point of the PS3 by the time it finally hits the market? Current prices for players would indicate otherwise, which would make the PS3 an economical Blu-Ray player with the added option of playing games.
Of course, this is dependent on whether or not people actually think getting a Blu-Ray player is even worth it. The upgrade from DVD to Blu-Ray (or DVD to HD-DVD for that matter) is a significantly smaller step up than the one from VHS to DVD as well as a significantly more expensive one. Blu-Ray is also up against HD-DVD so there's another obstacle in Blu-Ray adoption that DVD didn't have. |

The problem with the Wii, is that since Nintendo is planning on multiple devices as attachments for the Wii-Mote (and replace the Nunchuck, depending on the game), that for certain that for quite a few games, we'll have to buy 3-4 different devices for our Wii-Mote for each multiplayer games that needs a different kind of remote attachment.
Its also why the Nunchuck will be sold seperately than the Wii-Mote, rather than bundled. So far, there's the; Nunchuck Classic Controller Zapper Who knows how many others will come out in the future? Down the line, the Wii may end up costing as much as the PS3.

Still, quite right that it's just speculation at this point. Quote:
BluRay does not enjoy that sense of inevitability. Also, one really has to wonder; Will the PS3 be as good a BluRay player as the PS2 was such a good DVD player? I mean, jeez. Everyone I know who bought their PS2 because they wanted a DVD player went sorely dissapointed. Lots of skipping, so many DVDs they simply would not play. Sure, the PS2 was a cheap DVD player, but lets not forget, it was a cheap DVD player. Quote:
And so, with that in mind I suspect very, very few games will require any additional attachment. Those that do, I expect will include the attachment with minimal, if any, cost to gamers.

For sure the game will come with one attachment, that is almost for certain because its Nintendo. But if its a 4-player game, you'll need to go buy 3 seperate attachments in order to play it with them. But the thing with the whole Wii-Mote/Attachments, is that even if you might need to buy multiple versions of them, you're not forced to buy them. That is a big difference.

It could also be argued that because they're trying to take on HD, the PS3 and the XBox 360 just aren't powerful enough: http://www.insomnia.ac/commentary/not_powerful_enough/ |

Lots of People Who cant even use Google
-First The Wii Controllers will be Sold Seperately from the Nun attachment. The Remote is 40 and the Nun is 20...60dollars -The 360 Wireless Controller is 50(Does nto include battery) Now for the PS3...The PS3 controller is basically the samething as the 360, Except it is including the rechargable battery inside the controller and comes with the recharger.(Sony said this a bit ago)...So its like the 360 except comes with everything. While the 360 you need to buy the play and recharge kit. So the PS3 controller is atleast going to be 50...But dont be surprized if its 60..Same price as both parts of Wii's And Like I said earlier...The PS3 has tons of fun looking games...Too bad none of them are comming out for quite a while. While the 360 is already starting to get hot(Dead Rising:P) And Lost Planet in Q1 2007...And Blue Dragon comes out soon. Oh!!!! The Fun And Wii is launching with a bang. And looks like it pulling all the stops out for the first year PS3 on the other hand wont seem to get going till well into 2007...maybe even 2008. So many games with TBA Also about the formats...Digital Disturbtion is another one. And maybe neither will...Or maybe both will. There are so many maybe.

Lol next gen is worth it all.
I personally a dedicated sony and nintendo fan will first get a ps3. Since im more of a adult gamer i just see the ps3 as a more "adult" gaming system. Ill let my sister or friend get the Wii. If you all havent seen some of the media on GameTrailers.com i suggest you go and check it out. I distincly recall hearing the possibility of ps3 owners being able to submit ideas to game companies around the globe! Wholly crap! To me thats just amazing! Also a statement from sony themselves... They will have some games that charge a monthly fee for online play, but this will be dictated by the server usage the game requires. From the way the sony rep was talking it seems to me there main goal is to keep most online game play free. Did you all see the ps3 web browser? It lets you manage multiple web pages, much like fire fox, and with the option to plug in a usb keyboard its like you have a brand new comp and game system all in one! The ps3 even boasts a buddy system and web cams and all those kind of goodies... If not for games get a ps3 for usage as a new computer, if your looking to upgrade your current comp. With blue-ray, wifi, and all the other goodies the way i see it for 600 USD you are getting a new comp and game system with some of the latest technology for DIRT CHEAP! It was also annonced that the sony online service for the ps3 will be free, the charges will come from updates to games/the ps3 itself (much like the psp), downloadable games (such as ps1 and ps2 titles), music and what not, other things as well. Now not to upset anyone but, when you think about it, wait till the free-lance coders around the globe get there hands on the ps3... can you say... "For the Free" xD Yea yea i know i know, i sound like a sony fan boy but hey, all that i have stated is fact, and it can all be confirmed at the site listed above. The future looks bright, and IMO if anything takes the lead out of the current technology it will be blue ray due to its imense amount of space for data and what not. And finally let me make it clear as someone has also, we cannot predict the future as we dont know what lies ahead... heck someone could be making something right now that will change the world forever, making sony/microsoft/nintendo look like 30yr old technology, who knows?

To be certain, we're both talking about this, right? http://www.kotaku.com/gaming/nintend...ler-172712.php There is also talk of a shell controller that fits over the Wiimote, but nothing has been confirmed of that. This looks to be a standard controller.

lol.all this fanboyism is cracking me up.
Anyway, While i have fun munching on my Wii. At leased I have the confidence to know, that later on, when I see a good reason to buy a Xbox 360/PS3 i have the money to do so! lol. and i suspect when those systems are at a much cheaper price, and when i mean cheaper I mean at leased £100/$190 off, hence more money for games! Take that you PS3/Xbox360 Initial buying suckers! P.S: and if you think im a "sucker" for buying a Wii instead of a cheaper Gamecube, the wii is backwards compatible so spending a few extra for some new gaming experience won't make my bank manager cry. lol

To whoever siad that twilight princess will be a good game...
LMAO... What game is better? Ocarina of Time or FF7? FF7. Wind Waker or FFX? FFX. Twilight Princess or FFXIII? FFXIII. Face it, LoZ has A) no beautiful women B) no speaking characters C) inferior graphics D) kid-friendly clean-hands worlds E) NO other characters in your party F) little to no epic battles G) annoying puzzles H) more focus on gameplay than an actual story Am I missing anything? When I play an RPG, I play it to be told a story, and to have gorgeous visuals with that. Legend of Zelda provides none of that shit. At point 1, Link runs around, haxes stuff, and screams. By the end of the game, Link runs around, haxes stuff, and screams. Character development, anybody? No -.- FFXIII tells a better story and is far more visually pleasing (especially since we have a cross of Yuna and Tifa as our main hero) than any LoZ game has ever been. FFXIII+PS3=WINSAUCE. Wii=better get parties going, or it'll get boring, FAST.
