Final Fantasy 13 was the "Star Wars: Episode 1, The Phantom Menace" of the Final Fantasy franchise. Final Fantasy 13 Versus will most likely be just as bad, if not worse, regardless of what console/s it appears on.
I don't even own an Xbox 360, but I hope to hell FF13 Versus gets ported over to the 360 just for the fun of hearing people whine like a bunch of babies.
3D would be nice I suppose, but more than anything, I'd like Nintendo to invest more capital in creating more of a graphics powerhouse with their next console. Nintendo basically just doubled the power of the Gamecube with the Wii console. Can you imagine if they did that again, and just doubled the power of the Wii with their next console? Even that would be vastly inferior to the 360 and PS3. Nintendo's next console should, at the very least, be as powerful as a PS3. I know graphics...
I'll hold off until Mr. Plinkett reviews this game.
"Are Playstation 3 and Wii fans polar opposites?"
Not necessarily. I own and enjoy both consoles.
"We've seen how high priced handhelds just don't sell well, look at the PSP Go."
Good point, but the PSP Go had more problems than just the steep price tag. I really can't imagine Nintendo pricing this higher than $200, especially considering Nintendo's history and the fact they are very cost-conscious.
YOU DON'T HAVE TO TYPE IN ALL CAPS. ALL IT DOES IS ANNOY PEOPLE AND MAKE THEM THINK YOU'RE SHOUTING AT THEM.
That's my guess too. But I'd pay up to $250 for one.

Ha, that's funny. You may be right, so I'll rephrase that and say that I'll pay up to $250 if they pack a game with it.
The Wii is basically double the power of the Gamecube. That makes it slightly better than the original Xbox. So it can't render three times the number of polygons as the Xbox.
I have to say though, I'm digging the new look of Skyward Sword. To me it looks really nice.
gtamike knows damn well that the 3DS looks better than the PS1. He's made similar comments about how the 3DS is "lower than PS1 graphics" in other 3DS articles. He's just trolling.
It just dawned on me, why isn't Microsoft supporting Nintendo's handhelds. Microsoft doesn't have a handheld of their own. It would be pretty awesome if they supported the 3DS with a Banjo, or Halo, or Gears or something.
I agree GWAVE. I can't understand the complaints either. I love the look of Skyward Sword. It reminds me of Twilight Princess with a dash of Wind Waker cartoonishness. Really good stuff.
Hardware price cuts always immediately boost sales. I doubt this will be a long-term trend though.

"Move has been worked on since 2001"
WHAT???
The first set of games you mentioned (God of War 3 to Gran Turismo 5) are all great technological achievements, but I wouldn't consider any of them to be particularly innovative, at least in terms of gameplay. Don't get me wrong, they're fun (the ones that have been released) but not really innovative.
According to every survey I've seen, Nintendo seemed to be the winner at E3. Though Sony consistently comes in second in said surveys.
EDIT: I'm just going by what I've seen on several user surveys like on IGN, 1up, Destructoid, and a few others.
"3D DS with lower graphics than PS1"
That statement is hilarious. It's also the reason you have all those disagrees.
If true, that's stupid. In the not-too-distant future, 3D will be a standard feature for most TV's. The prices for 3D TV's are steep right now, but they'll go down, and in the next five years, it'll get to the point where the majority of households have 3D TV's. That's not very forward-thinking of Microsoft to dismiss 3D.
Nintendo has ruled the handheld market ever since the original Gameboy was released in 1989. Nintendo has shown time and time again that it can triumph over the competition, even when the competition has more advanced hardware. Does anyone really believe this will change, especially considering the buzz Nintendo's upcoming 3DS has received? The answer is no. Sony will likely be able to stay afloat in the handheld market, but Sony will not beat Nintendo.
