A lot has changed since the Xbox 360 debuted in November of 2005. After what has seemed like dozens of upgrades, improvements, omissions, price drops, and bundles, the dust has settled (for now) and we're left with three competitively priced consoles.
Such an evenly matched trio of hardware makes for the perfect time to reignite the ultimate question for prospective video game console buyers: which home console should you buy?
This question doesn't necessarily have a definitive answer. Quite frankly, the answer could be any of the three. In other words, there is no default "best console." It's about finding the one that's right for you--and what will be the deciding factor in your case will ultimately depend on what you plan to use the console for. That said, in lieu of detailing every last bit of functionality that each console offers, let's discuss the type of person we think would benefit most from each console.
Square Enix launches Final Fantasy X 25th anniversary site, revealing new Nomura art, books, music releases, and merchandise.
Look I know VIII has its issues and all that but how on earth can the do big anniversary events with new artwork and merchandise for VII, IX and X yet VIII got sweet f*** all.
They could have given it something during its 25th anniversary yet all it got was a single Happy Anniversary post on their social media.
they should know that we are OG fans of VIII as it sold truckload as well. not as much as VII or X. I personally didn't like IX but X and VI are my personal fav.
Shadow Hearts 2 covenant is another game I love. I hope one day someone can make remake, I would be delighted
Final Fantasy VIII is great and you are always the first to defend it in the comments
The Wii is now a retro console. Let’s get nostalgic about an often maligned system.
Crazy to think the WII is to the Switch 2, as the NES was to the WII back then. 20 Year difference.
My wife asks me to bust it out (heh) everyone once in a while to play bowling and tennis with the kids. There was a ton of slop on it but some good stuff as well.
Wii was great but boy howdy did it cause Microsoft to go on a dark walk with the Kinect and the disastrous XBox One launch that they arguably never recovered from.
Not nostalgic for me.. I was there.. anyone who wasnt a little kid realized it was a gamecube with shit tacked onto it, it was the "joke" system and was well below even the switch in terms of comparing it to the latest machines at the time. The machine was well loved by young people and "casual gamers" who now remember it 20 years on, or in most cases more of its sales came in the 15-20 years ago range not right at launch- but again its not nostalgic for people who were "gamers" then really, just for those who ended up with one in their house, the games , graphics, interface and online features were archaic already in 2006.
A brutal reset, a smarter story, and a return to what made it great—Mortal Kombat (2011) revived the series.
Underrated comment. I used to hate that game so much that any time my siblings asked me to play it, I just picked Hom and shut myself down mid-match.
15 years went by so fast. I remember playing through the story mode at launch.
Only thing that tickle me a bit is: "Home is now generally regarded as a dud." As far as I'm concerned, it's more work in progress. The fact that it's still beta also give a big clue. And 8 millions regular visitors and tons of microtransaction also keep it out of the dud category. If somebody doesn't see the potential, then they probably didn't saw the potential of the first Xbox Live either and today, Live prove them wrong... You have to start somewhere!
Besides, when you choose a 360 you're only letting others know just how STUPID you ready are....AHAHHAHAHAHAHAH
lol 360 is a pile of dog sh!t
The 360 is best for "anyone who wants a good all-in-one gaming and entertainment system" because he also says "Beyond all of its impressive media capabilities, the Xbox 360 is also an excellent game machine"
I tried to find some exciting lines about the PS3 to clip and paste here from the article, but "The biggest annoyance" is only found on PS3.
Basically the vocabulary and tones used to describe each system is fanboy slant. While the writer voices his "annoyance" with the blutooth on PS3 he wasn't even annoyed by the 360 RROD and clearly tries his best to sell you that those are problems of the past.
So if I'm Sherlock Holmes I say this guy owns a 360 that he bought right when they came out (which has RROD on him at least twice just not in the last 2 months), and a Wii.
Oh, and I bet you a tenner he doesn't even own a PS3 :)
PS3 don't need crappy netflix when it has 1080p Blu-rays.
