Overpriced proprietary accessories.

RROD.

Live Fee's.

Live Fee Hike. ( So Activision could get a cut and M$ wouldn't lose out :lol: )

HD DVD failure.

Kinect.

No exclusives.

No games.

You know, in the beginning of this gen, the 360 actually had a few glimpses of potential, M$ made games, supported the console, supported core gaming, even with all it's problems it was a gaming machine, then they just gave up.

Maybe they just figured competing with Sony's vast array of AAA Blockbuster making studios was too dificult.

What's your choice?

I see all the barbs are directed at the 360. You could've just done that and left the Wii out of it. :lol:

None!

Despite the shaky releases of both the 360(RRoD) and PS3($599),both platforms did well in the end,providing their communities with many games through the Gen...

Wii,while severely lacking in third-party support,still managed to provide its fanbase with many high-quality first-party titles...

In the end,no platform really flopped,or turned out as a dissapointment,judging by the sales,and game libraries...

In conclusion,just another boring and biased 360 bashing thread,only this one comes with the illusion of choice in the poll as the bonus ;)

Dat Wii ...

  • It was suppose to bring in huge 3rd party titles due to it's unexpected finanical success. That never happened.
  • Last Gen Hardware
  • Online support was garbage
  • Huge droughts of must own titles

It was by far one of the worst consoles I've ever owned.

Disappointment comes from expectation, and I had none for the 360... the Wii on the other hand, did disappoint me full.

All platforms have their own individual strengths.

I don't think any have been disappointing to be honest.

i love blind fanboys

i call ps3

i have to always install my games

it has movies that attempt to pass as games

it's online sucks

i like some of it's exclusives but quantity isnt quality

360 has few exclusives but they have quality(also your welcome for mass effect and castle crashers cause it's how much we feel sorry for you)

the blu ray in ps3 is mostly for movies and the games themselves are made on the disc to hold more data. it really does nothing for gaming.

and quit getting your panties in a knot cause you have to pay 5$ monthly omg life isnt free get over it you trailer trash bums(i say that cause most ps3 owners called the 360 the poor mans console.shoes on the other foot huh?)

Both systems exceeded my expectations but if you're asking which we liked more, it's Wii for me. But neither was remotely a disappointment.

No.....That would be an opinion. Here are facts: Wii:: Underpowered Terrible Online Horrible 3rd party support Franchise fatigue PS3: Horrible installs and updates jaggies multiplatform games are inferior on most occasions 360: live is a rip off if you pay full price Microsoft is concentrating on the new 720 too early (lack of exclusive retail games) Kinect should not be a priority Anyone can come up with arguments against any console.

360, but only because of the steady decline in exclusive retail games.... and RROD. XBLA supplies me with a great selection though.
All consoles were great to me. I play my Wii, PS3, DS and PSP all the time.

PS3,

why is there no option?

It's been flakey since its release,

Lack of games in the beginning, bad architecture for people to work with so multiplats were coming out with sub par quality, expensive, most of the exclusives focused to much on cinematic quality

The only thing that is wrong with 360 is having to pay to play online but the online is a better experience on 360, and they have had a lack of exclusives while 3rd party is chugging out amazing games.

The 360, there aren't many games that justify it aside from 1 or 2, the live feed is ridiculous specially if i can get the same experience by free in other platforms, Kinect is beyond awful and the whole, Halo...Gears...Forza year after year is lame.

The use of "Terrible" and "horrible" are generally applied in opinions, not facts...

its the 360. it has not only been a dissapointment, but an overall failure, which is why they are currently sitting in last place while the PS3 is in first place with the sales and all the games.

Actually that is literally what the 360 is. What does it rely on? Third Party support... guess what has even more of that? PC. Sure it has better porformance in general (though the difference is almost none) but the PC has muuuuuuuuuuuch better performance. The 360 is like something for people who can't make up their minds...

That's a counter productive argument as well. If you hide behind the PC to make the 360 look bad, the PS3 ends up looking just as bad in comparison.

if you compare everything to the pc it automatically loses. between just consoles 360 is the best. im not saying 360 is the best choice for everyone. i can see why someone with a great pc would pick a ps3 over 360 but between consoles idk how you can say ps3 is better. unless they really really like their mostly mediocre(imo) exclusives.

You just answer your own question. People likes PS3 because of its mediocre exclusives (in your opinion) just like you prefer your mediocre (imo) exclusives & getting ripped off by MS. Look @ the mirror.

It's pretty obv from posts in this forum that the people by far most disapointed with this gen are the hermits. Most console gamers seem happy with the state of things, while hermits are in general very bitter. So I'm gonna have to go with the PC.

I know this thread is a bunch of fanboy inspired garbage but I'll play along anyway. To me it has to be the Wii. Don't get me wrong I liked the Wii but the lack of inetersting game to me is what made it the most disapointing out of all the consoles this gen.

Besides Virtual Boy, the Wii. Maybe a dozen games worth experiencing and the rest ever so bad. Mine hasn't been turned on in over a year, but I still got my copy of new Zelda to play some day.

Wasn't the Wii suppose to be a Revolution to gaming? The Wii-mote was said to be far superior to Keyboard and Mouse for aiming at FPS. Yet in reality the only good it did was making people's arm hurt from swinging like a dumb dumb.
