Which Console Is the Best?

Think the console war is over? Hah! Not even close. It took a few years but The Big 3 are all finally hitting their stride with great games, new SKUs, and increased social connectivity; and this year, with Kinect and Move looking to creep in on the Wii's turf, the console war is at Defcon 1. Which console will come out as this generation's big winner is still up for grabs.

True.

( Btw the PS3 is the best one )

5752d ago
Redrum0595752d ago

But personally, the PS3 is the best console. Someone else would prefer the 360 or the wii, and that's just them, oh well.

Rot_in_Fail5752d ago

Don't complain about the article, complain about those who approve this crap

vsr5752d ago

None can match on quality & satisfaction & value for money & brand

Elimin85752d ago (Edited 5752d ago )

Ok. That was funny. I don't care what your system preference is. It just comes down to one thing, your entertainment so to each his own.

Now that we've gotten that out of the way, your comment or rather LINK was Funny as hell... Bubbles.

My 2cents

Arnon5751d ago

The best? Probably the one that all your friends own. You know, so you can actually play with them?

n4gno5751d ago

Arnon, we are not talking about "the console you have to buy because your friends can't buy another one", but "the best one", so even if we don't have a console killing others on every level, ps3 is clearly superior on most importants levels (video : dvd upscale, bluray, hifi : true hd, best graphics, best exclusives, more variety, already 3D games, best motion controler to come, best value, etc).

AAACE55751d ago

They all have strengths and weaknesses! The only problem is, some people like to overlook the problems of a console they like to point out the problems of a different console!

Arnon5751d ago (Edited 5751d ago )

So, lets say that if someone buys a PS3, and hates every game on it simply because they don't interest them, it was still the best choice, simply because of it's other features ASIDE from gaming? That's some fantastic logic, there. I'll be sure to tell people at my local GameStop to purchase a PS3, not because of the games it has, but because it has:

#Blu-Ray
#3D Gaming (even though this wouldn't matter)
#best exclusives (subjective)
#more variety (subjective)
#best motion control to come (subjective)
#True HD (this one doesn't even make sense. I would suggest looking up "High Definition on Wikipedia.)

It is a marketing slogan Anomen. It isn't meant to be taken literally. I can't "jump in" an Xbox 360 either. I mean I could, but I am pretty sure it would not be covered by the warranty.

360 for live and games PS3 for bluray movies and movie downloads and wii for the kids

punisher995752d ago

@demonddel: On the PS3 side of things. You forgot about PSN, Home, Games, and internet browsing.

Seijoru5752d ago

360 for paperweight PS3 for PSN and Games and Movies and PS2 for the Kids.

demonddel5751d ago

@punisher99 i only use psn to download movies and i dont use home at all i played only 3 games mgs4,gow3,and uc2 and i have laptop for my internet browsing and before u tell me bout kz2,lbp,uc1,lair,haze,heavy rain,and motor storm 1&2 didn't really like them thats my opinion can i have that please

Kurt Russell5751d ago (Edited 5751d ago )

@punsher99

PSN is free for a reason... And it isn't customer satisfaction
Home is shit.
The games are overrated and forgettable.
The internet browser is fucking toss.

Demonddell got it right... Just the teens/tweens disagree as they are yet to find a life outside of a corporation.

@Below. WipeOut HD is actually really good - but 2097 is still my favorite of the series. I really don't think a console needs an internet browser. My Porn/Facebook machine covers that.

KingDragunov5751d ago

@Kurt Russell

At least the PS3 actually HAS an internet browser. And btw, WipeOut is definitely not forgettable!

PC... but the 360 or PS3 will do if you have no other choice or if you're a broke gamer who don't mind SD with the occasional HD.

Biggest5752d ago

What if you're an incredibly wealthy gamer that enjoys Gran Turismo, God of War, Uncharted, Killzone, inFamous, Resistance, Little Big Planet, or any of the other non-pirated games on the market right now?

Dee_915752d ago

Agent-865752d ago

My PC is for all my FPS and RTS games (which are simply better on a PC) while the PS3 makes a great complement with its remarkable lineup of exclusive games. I got my PS3 slim Oct. last year after the Slim launch and price drop. It's been a great purchase. I really enjoyed the major exclusives (like UC 1 & 2, Infamous, GOW3, Heavy Rain) with some others that are not available on my PC (like Red Dead Redemption, Fight Night 4, Madden 10) and ones that are just better on the PS3 than the PC (like FIFA 10).

Most of the 360 exclusives are also on PC and usually better so I haven't seen it being necessary to buy a 360 plus it's annual fee. Before you argue Live cross game chat, we PC gamers have already had it for ages with TeamSpeak and Ventrillo (all free, by the way). In fact, with my PC and PS3 connected to the same LCD HDTV, my friends and I have the ability to cross-platform chat. Also, the games that are truly exclusive, like Halo, I'm just not interested in since PC FPS's are so much better in my opinion (better graphics, better framerates, more players, plus keyboard/mouse is the better control scheme).

Kurt Russell5751d ago

My PC is for a porn and facebook... Other than that it is fairly useless. Couldn't catch me gaming away from my TV and sofa.

Gah, crap article. To each his own.

WTF to me the best console is 3 all why because each has games the other systems don't, and if you own all 3 it is you who will benefit the most. i'm glad i own all 3 so i don't have to deal with these stupid ass articles.

tinybigman5752d ago

who the hell would disagree with owning all 3 systems to have the best of all worlds? whoever it is they are really a sad, sad person.

beans5752d ago

I prefer 360 but envy many games on PS3 and even Wii.

im the opposite but i own a 360 for the few exclusives it has that i like

That's the reason I bought all three. I didn't want to miss out on anything. Kudos for keepin' it real.

TheLastGuardian5752d ago

Is the Best Console ever Imo. Come on 3 of the best consoles in one. Bring back Backwards compatibility sony.

TheLastGuardian5751d ago

I was thinking it was better because of more space but I guess the 60gb model plays more ps2 games so your right. I had to look it up because I only have a 40GB.

SaberEdge5751d ago

That's the one I have--the 80GB backwards compatible model. I love it.

It gives me Blu-ray, nearly 100% backwards compatibility (at least it has worked with every PS2 game I own), built-in Wifi, card readers, and plenty of USB ports. I realize the Slims have most of that stuff too and they are also great systems.

It really is a pretty amazing piece of hardware. It plays three generations of games (PS1, PS2 and PS3), two generations of movie formats (DVD and Blu-ray), CDs and Super Audio CDs, and allows you to browse the internet.

I also love that it uses standard components for many things such as the hard drive and the USB cables that charge the controllers. If I want a larger hard drive I simply have to buy an affordable standard 2.5" SATA hard drive. If I want a longer cable for my controller I can buy a regular USB cable for a couple of dollars.

On my 360 I still only have a 20GB hard drive because I bought it at launch and the 120GB proprietary hard drives that the 360 requires are too expensive. My cable for my controller has also been shorting out and losing connection, so I have to buy the proprietary cable that costs $20. If it was my PS3 I could get the cable for about 3 dollars.

Anyway, those are some of the things I love about my PS3. I just wish it performed better with multi-platform games. It would easily be my favorite console. I like the 360 because it has some exclusives I like such as Gears of War and Halo, and because it performs well on multi-platform games.

But the hardware features, free online, reliability and exclusives are much better on the PS3.

jamesgtaiv5752d ago

Imagine if this article was replaced with something useful.

You people that waste your time arguing over which corporation is a better pimp, really need to grow up and take a walk outside. Its such a stupid thing to argue about and those that start the arguments, such as this blogger, are only feeding the stupidity.

360 has no games..All 360 owners will be playing halo reach through 2010.

Not true and you sir are biased.

are we really doing this again? after all of these fanboy flames we are reaylly going to bring it back? most of us have accepted that consoles have good points and bad points but its posts like this that piss off more people and start arguments

ico925751d ago

neither its all down to personal prefrence

jeseth5751d ago

The Wii can't hang with PS3 or 360 in terms of quality games. The numbers don't lie. The Wii has the lowest average Metacritic score for its games. It also has the most games rated 7/10 and lower.

PS3 IMO is the "best" of all the consoles this gen. Blu Ray, Free Online, Compatability with all kinds of accessories (Keyboards, Mouses, Headsets, etc.) which doesn't require a proprietary accessory, interchangable HDD, and the BEST EXCLUSIVE GAMES. After that long list its amazing to think that since 07, PS3 has been pumping out exclusive after exclusive. Their deep studio stable has been showing its muscle and to think we still have GT5, Twisted Metal, ICO projects, and so many more franchises from the PS past yet to hit the PS3.

While 360 is solid gamewise and has a lot f great gaming experiences, the PS3 has the best game library (Who'da thought back at the start of 2007), and the most features BUILT IN.

PS3 gives the consumer the most bang for their buck.

All depends on the individual really.

The majority of people know the 360 is the best, obviously people on this site will say the PS3 cause they know thats the easiest was to get agrees and bubbles.

the ps3 has no games.... oh you see what I did there mr 2007.

plstcsldgr5752d ago (Edited 5752d ago )

ha none of those is the best every one knows the snes was and is still the best system ever and if any of you genesis suckers come in here its on.

punisher995752d ago

@plstcsldgr: The SNES wasnt even the best console in its generation. Genesis does what NintenDONT. :) Oh yeah, I'm actually old enough to remember that.

Persistantthug5752d ago

Why?

Because of Madden.

Madden was always inferior on the SNES...in fact, most of the Madden's I saw were downright TERRIBAD.....awful.

Back then my older brother, his friends and me and my friends, and pretty much everybody I knew were HEAVILY into MADDEN and other sports games (That was when they actually made vast improvements year over year unlike today).

Any self respecting sports fan HAD TO HAVE a Genesis and SNES was mostly an afterthought, at least here in America.

SNES eventually won the generation, but it was only through attrition, and they most certainly lost alot of their marketshare that they had with the NES previously.

Genesis was a beast in the 4th gen.

--console history 101

SaberEdge5751d ago

Genesis was awesome. I loved playing the Sonic games and MUSHA and the Shinobi games. The SNES was also really great. I loved both those consoles.

Imperator5752d ago

I'd like to hear what exactly makes the 360 better? Halo? Gears? and...hmmm... what else?

On the other hand, here's the PS3-

-Bluray
-HDD in all consoles
-web browser
-Wifi
-Most first party devs
- GOTY for 2008 and 2009 (LBP, UC2)
-Genre defining exclusives (and plenty of them)
- PS Move is made for the core, not the casual

etc, etc.

Why o why5752d ago (Edited 5752d ago )

greenberg---sorry i mean omega. I cant believe we communicate with such a high ranking officer of microsoft's xbox division...where do you get the time...oh, dont forget to coax your bosses to acquire some 1st party studios so we can get a frequent/comparable flow of quality games...cheers thx ta ta

iPlayGamez5752d ago

well me being completly honest and u dont have to believe me but, most people i know says PS3 is better it is rare that I personly met some one who likes 360 better, you can tell which one i like more by my avatar(its Last Gaurdian)

Redrum0595752d ago

With only a 3.6mil gap, 1million console bans and the countless rrod that have happened (especially in the past), I can easily say that ps3 has the bigger install base.
360=minority
PS3=majority

You just got trashed and pwned... No you got Killzwned son. Face it.

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.

solideagle2d ago

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

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.

Smellsforfree7d ago

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.

Loktai7d ago

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.
