System Wars

Just played the Wii U at my pal's house. It's much better than I thought it would be. Give it a shot if you're at a friends house. Its a real blast!Kman5507

Nintendo land is awesome!Kman5507

I checked out the Wii U controller a few days before release. It looked great, but I didn't really messed with it enough. I did like to compare it to the size of my television though.:P

What other games did you play Kman?

Only super mario bros U and nintendo land. Multiplayer Mario is always fun even though it turns some of my best friends against me sometimes :P

I don't know why, but whenever something goes wrong, I'm blamed. Even when its not my fault... Especially when its not my fault. :D 

Those are the only two Wii U games I own right now...I think it's going to drop in price this year, but I do agree those games are fun with peeps visiting at the house. :P

@Kman I never understood how games can make friends angry at you. I'm a super competitive person, but I couldn't ever see myself getting angry.

I get mad when people make me play games that I've never played before and start bragging about how they are beating me even though they didn't teach me how to play :xKman5507

^Oh, I get it. See, I've never lost so I don't know.:|

Joking.:P I have lost before, and it didn't really bother me. I use to play racing games with a friend and sometimes I would make simple mistakes like putting too much power into a corner and he would get by, but it never phrased me. I don't make mistakes like that anymore though.

I did the same thing with my friend sean. Only he actually knew how to do everything.Kman5507

You can't beat me though :P

[spoiler] Actually you probably can :| [/spoiler]  

too bad the hd collection doesn't have online play.

I have a feeling they're still years behind from what current PCs can do, but that's fine.

Right! I still wouldn't mind having PC graphics on my console, but the price really isn't worth it.

You can't beat me though :P

I'm not even sure if the technology is the problem when it comes to graphics. Back when the xbox360 first came out people thought the graphics looked good in some of those old games. Now they are coming out with amazing stuff at the end of its lifespan. I don't understand why they couldn't do that from the beginning...Kman5507

I think it just took time for people to learn how to fully use the power the systems have, and for proper developments tools to be released. I think graphics have hit their peak this generation though, we'll just have to see if Crysis 3 looks as good on consoles as it has looked in videos.

- PlayStation 3, best of the bunch. Free online, a massive amount of exclusives, blu-ray capable, and it doesn't break all the time like Xbox 360s do. Also, you don't have to worry about changing discs all the time like 360 fans have too. When will they learn?

- Nintendo Wii, second best. Sub-par graphics, poor handling of online features and and lack of third party games may make the Wii sound like a bust. However, the sea of fantastic first party games, the durability of the system, and the incredible play-every-Nintendo-game-on-the-Wii feature make it great.

- Xbox 360, a sad console for the more.... slow witted among us? While most sane gamers get their HD fix from the PS3, the more masochistic gamers among us like that the Xbox malfunctions all the time and has few AAA exclusives. They love paying money monthly for such a basic feature such as online play, and they just love being bombarded by ads. Also, be prepared to change discs and not watch any blu-ray.

^Hey, Xbox does a few good things too.:P

For me it's...

1: PS3

2: 360

3: Wii

@Sos

You realize some of the things you are saying about xbox aren't even true right :P 

I like PS3 because it has more exclusives that I'm interested in. Xbox is second in exclusives for me, and Wii is last. I also like Wii the least because of the motion controllers.

PS4 teaser!!!

I didn't.:P

What did it show!?

A bunch of xs and os and traiangles and squares floating aroung in lightning.

It also saif Febryary 20 at the end 

I'm hyped, Sony's consoles are EPIC.

Really, koolkat? :x

And what wasn't truth, kman?

@SoS 

The xbox doesn't malfunction all the time. Sounds like you've been misinformed. To be honest, the only time someone I know had something go wrong with an xbox was because his little sister put hair gel in the disc tray. :P I heard it used to malfunction a lot when it first came out, but it was fixed very soon after.

I guess the few AAA exclusives makes sense, but I think it depends more on opinion. I for one find halo much better than a lot of the ps3 exclusives that I have played at a freiends house. Just my opinion though. I'm sure someone else would think differently...

 Paying for online is not at monthly costs. You can choose to buy a years worth for much cheaper if you like. I also heard that ps3's internet sucks, but that could just be bad information, like you saying how the xbox malfunctions all the time. And I don't know what you mean by "being bombarded by ads."

While blu-ray would be better, I don't see why people make such a big fuss over changing discs. Are they really that lazy? 

Thats all I have to say. Please don't yell at me now. :P

>Sounds like you've been misinformed

No, I've seen it happen first hand. I know someone who is on his 4th Xbox 360, they DO break all the time.

As for crappy PS3 wifi, I've never once had any issues.

Someone you know in real life? That sounds a little bit too crazy. He must either be really irresponsible or really unlucky. :?

Like I said the whole internet thing could have been a rumor. Thanks for clearing that up. I think that XBL technically has better connection and security if you find it worth the money. At least thats what a commercial for one of those CoD games said.

:P

It's nice to not have to worry about online.:) Whichever one has the most exclusives I'm interested in will always be the one I buy. Forget the console, I just want good games.:xbugbag

Technically doesn't xbox have more exclusives, because of the indie market? Its just that sony has better exclusives. :P 

So what do you guys think is going to be the best console of the next gen? Apparently according to gamestop's update, Sony thinks it will be better because they will advertise it better whereas Microsoft says it will try to outperform the ps4.

I dunno, the Wii U, from what I've played and seen, is pretty darn great.

The PS4 better amaze.

I'm hoping PS4 because I'm used to it's developers, but it's too early to tell.

I hope the PS4 comes out last, so it will be the most technically advanced.

If these rumors are true, it kind of makes me not want to get the new xbox

It's just rumors, Kman.

However, these rumors are unsettling....
