| Xbox for me, I don't like playing on the Wii, I never play on it because of the lack of good games on it |

| I rarely play on my Xbox and PS3 anymore. Only if I need to talk to friends or something. The only Nintendo products I own are a DS Lite and a Gameboy Advance which I only play Pokemon on. I mainly play on my PC so.... Microsoft. |
| they dont have an eyepatch?? |
| PS3 for me. Bought mine the first day it came out (60GB) and it's still kicking. |
| As much as I enjoy the N64, I've always loved my Xbox. |

There's no getting around they wiped the floor in hardware sales but that only tells half the story, you can have millions of units sold and more thn half of them can just be collecting dust on a shelf. If they wouldn't realize this they wouldn't have made this huge grab for the people who cried they weren't up to snuff with HD and graphics, which is basically what the Wii-U is about. That gamepad gimmick is just that, a gimmick that takes advantage of the current tablet fad.answer this who has the best 1st and 2nd franchises Cuase when i come to hardwere sales Nintendo wiped the Floor with both Sony and MS this past gen Nintendo DS and wii world wide total combined sales of 190 mliion Sony PS3 and PSP total combied of around 150 Mliion Units Microsoft Total sales of under 100 Mliion and yes i dont count pre owned sales |

| I actually liked the original Xbox. There's no doubting that the Xbox 360 is just terrible, that machine was so badly designed, they fail so easily. Luckily its not so bad with the slimmer ones... But still, it does have some decent exclusive JRPG games and I like those. |

| xbox since I really enjoy how the online multiplayer works |

Otaking87 said: Microsoft suck as a Console maker cuase the no1 reason the Fail box falied here was cuase the name[ ie bad marketing ] X = Fail Thay shouls have changed the name for the Japanese Market Like Ninti did in US for Famicom and the Su fami Marketing it what sells the Console Nonsense, the name has nothing to do with it. The more likely reason is the sense of loyalty to Japanese companies (which you often display quite clearly), and the small amount of exclusive games compared to the PS3. |

Otaking87 said: why did ninti chanhe the name of there first two console for the west if a name does not matter I guess they figured the abbreviated NES would make more sense to Americans than Famicom. But Xbox doesn't actually mean anything, so that's not an issue. I doubt the Famicom would have sold any less here if they didn't change the name, people in charge of localization were just incredibly stupid back then. |

While the PS3 and Xbox Sales have been climbing year after year. Wii Sales spiked 2 years ago and have been in free fall ever since. The Wii also has the smallest active community and on average the majority of people who own a Wii probably haven't used in over a year. On top of that the Wiimote forever remained a gimmick, They never made good on their promise to revolutionize motion control They've yet to make a game that actually benefits from using the Wiimote. Also you can't count the sales of units as a the success of a system, especially in this day in age considering the Wii's profitable longevity is non existent. Wii's online store doesn't even have profits worth mentioning. While the PS3 and 360 have online market places that are highly trafficked and highly profitable. |

Otaking87 said: im not just saying this gen in say over all sony and ninti have sold more consloe than Microsoft last 4 gen biggest selleers gen 3 Famicom gen 4 Game boy gen five PSX Gen 6 PS2 Gen 7 DS what does that tell you It tells me that it looks as though you're grasping at straws to back up your argument. First off, you're combining two Japanese corporations against one American. Second, you're mixing home and portable console sales. Third, Microsoft has only had an entry in generations six and seven, so it would stand to reason that Sony and Nintendo would outsell them in every previous generation. |

| i also would prefer the 360 more if i didnt have it fail twice and once wasn't under warranty, which is horrible customer service because everyone knows its a huge design flaw, they wanted a $100 just to fix it, which i could get one cheaper online with tons of games n shit i would like to say that xbox has the best online play, which i think alot of people would agree with becuase they are willing to pay for it when PS3 online is free |

Skyward Sword used the Wii Motion Plus really well, much better than the waggle-fest of Twilight Princess. I agree, the Skyward Sword mechanics with the Wii motion plus was everything the Wii should have been from the start. Skyward Sword for me was probably one of, if not the best game made for the Wii that utilized the Wii Motion plus perfectly. My personal favorite of the three would have to be 360 though. I mainly play MP games and the majority of the people I know do have 360s. So it's more of like what's the system that is more convenient to play with friends.(Well, some of the console exclusive titles are a partial reason too.) I'm really excited for the Wiiu though, considering Nintendo got a huge jump on the competitors and is releasing the next-gen cosole earlier it's going to prove to sell probably well. I really like the direction Nintendo is going in as well, they are going back to the normal controller(With a touch screen.), improving the graphics drastically compared to what they normally try and accomplish and are actually right away coming out with more mature titles. It's starting to go away from that kind of casual gamer or family type console and trying to show itself as a competitor for the other consoles, appealing to the bit more hardcore gamers, etc. while still keeping those same family/casual gamers interested with some of their other titles. |
Touch me, you filthy casual~ |
| Sony > Nintendo > Microsoft PS3 > Wii > Adbox 360 Sony offers free online play, a blu-ray player, and the console is region free. The PS3 also has a lot more RPGs, particularly J-RPGs, than the adbox. The Wii has free online play, and a good number of RPG's. The Adbox has shooters and ads. |

| I want to say Sony, I really do. But with the Vita's crap and Monster Hunter moving on to Nintendo... and after getting the RSOD on my PS3 the MOMENT the warranty ran out... It goes to microsoft for PC gaming. |

Not going to get it straight at launch right? In some places, the Wii U reception was lukewarm for preorders and in other places, it's sold out and you're put on the waiting list. Beware of many scalpers around reselling it if it's somehow a hit. |

feder said: I doubt it'd be THAT huge a hit. That said, it did sell reasonably well. Better than the next Xbox or Playstation will, that's for sure. But those two always count on cumulative sales rather than selling from the get go.live2win said: Ragix said: I'm really excited for the Wiiu though, considering Nintendo got a huge jump on the competitors and is releasing the next-gen cosole earlier it's going to prove to sell probably well.

Narmy said: Skyward Sword used the Wii Motion Plus really well, much better than the waggle-fest of Twilight Princess. I don't know what game you where playing because it was still easier just to use a controller. A game does not benefit from using a controller if it has to make up excuses to actually use it. There still hasn't been a Wii game that basically can't be experienced properly or wouldn't be the same with out the use of a Wiimote. The Wiimote just over complicates the game play for no reason.

By next gen you mean playing catchup? The WiiU is slightly less powerful then current gen consoles like the PS3 and the 360. and all we've seen for games are ports from 2 years ago and more Gimmicky games that have to create excuses to use the clunky pointless touch screen. And the only real reason why the WiiU has a touch screens is just to grab casual consumers away from Apple, Amazon and Google. Because tablets are cool now didn't you hear? better jump on that band wagon! feder said: considering the system is sold out most places I'd say it's already a hit. Just like the Wii, I wouldn't be surprised if the system will be hard to find for a while. Just because a system is sold out doesn't mean it's a hit, it probably means they only had like 5 of them to sell. Most places sold out on PS3 in it's first week too and PS3 where hard to find for an entire year, But Sony was still losing money hand over fist on the system that year. because most stores only had a handful of them to actually sell. |

| Are the sales of the systems and their games not enough of an opinion for you? The answer is clear which is the fav system with the most gamers, you can even get a regional breakdown. And the only real reason why the WiiU has a touch screens is just to grab casual consumers away from Apple, Amazon and Google. Because tablets are cool now didn't you hear? better jump on that band wagon! Trends is how technology advances. I am really sick all this talk that insinuates that popularity = bad. I am sorry that shit you like is less popular than something else, that is like how popularity works. gatx375 said: Sony > Nintendo > Microsoft PS3 > Wii > Adbox 360 Sony offers free online play, a blu-ray player, and the console is region free.

And why rank the 360 last because it has shooters? Hell, most of the shooters on 360 are multi-platform anyway. With several shooters being the most bought games this gen it appears that having shooters is a plus for the console with the most. If jRPGs are you thing then the PS3 is the better console as it has the most available and gets crazy support in Japan. Nintendo has mascot idols they can milk forever and started(which means they have a strong foothold/lead) in the motion sensor gaming front which both solidifies their place among certain gamers, and 360...dunno...M$ just sorta willed that system into greatness. |
