As the three current systems were all in development, and upon their release, the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and Nintendo Wii were all touted as "next-generation systems." After their arrival, we have seen this to be hard to judge. While the 360 and PS3 show graphics that are far superior to their predecessors, the Wii displays graphics that are about on par with the previous generation. However, despite the Wii's lack of advance in graphics, it does feature the new revolutionary control system of its motion-sensitive Wii-mote and peripherals.

While the PS3 and Xbox both were released with higher price points, generally ranging above $300 for even the most basic package, the Wii was released for $250, and still maintains that price (unlike the other two). And despite its late release date, the Wii has far outsold the Xbox and PS3, with sales for the three to be 29.6, 20.3 and 14.4 million worldwide, respectively.

Combined with its low price point and appeal to more than just the standard gamers,' the Wii has built huge momentum throughout its lifespan, and is predicted to be the eventual winner of the seventh-generation console race. But does the Wii really compete against the 360 and PS3? The Wii has done remarkably well by luring in consumers who probably wouldn't have bought Microsoft's or Sony's products. But when a standard gamer buys a Wii, are they less likely to buy a PS3? If there were statistics on this subject, would they show that someone who buys a PS3 is more likely to buy a Wii rather than not? How does it compare with someone who buys all three of the consoles currently on the market? I'm curious what a study on the subject would reveal, and as to what your opinions on it might be.

Another part to consider is if the Wii is really part of this seventh-generation, or just a late release of the sixth. Do the Wii's motion-sensitive controls place it on par with the Xbox 360 and PS3? If not, then the sixth generation of consoles will have the largest time-span for release dates, pushing it to almost 8 years. If so, then how does the Wii really compete with its brethren of the seventh generation?

And in final closing... what consoles do you have? I merely have an Xbox 360.

Edit: added the poll.

I have my December issue of PC Gamer, and I see nothing about Crysis in it, the only big review is Hellgate: London. And from the link from rimnet to the Crysis forums, it's supposed to be the US version of PC Gamer.

I don't think FPS are that great on PC. I mean sure, I had a lot of fun with Call of Duty 2. But it's more fun iwht a controller. I say it doesn't really matter.monkeytoes61

This would be an opinion that I believe would be largely disputed by many members on this board... but that is my own opinion.

Do they plan to add the achievements in for Half-Life 2 and Episode 1 or not, or do we even know?

I refused the notion of buying such a game, until I beat Peggle Extreme. And then I was like "No way will I spend twenty bucks for this." But then... it was only ten dollars! I had to buy it. And I did. And I've gotten my money's worth (imagine that).

I always want to see the numbers from online sales posted, especially with games released over Steam. I wonder how much they sell in a comparison between digital sales and boxed sales, and then how that affects profit.
