I should say, i'll be making a choice on a 360 or PS3 sometime this year. It'll depend on the titles available.

Want something in HD so i can justify the plasma screen i've got mounted on my wall.

Basically

XBOX - Sux

PS3 - Ps2 but more so

Wii - Best for kids.....

Or as a real option for the kid - get a second hand game-cube - they will be cheap soon as will second hand games and let him run riot on that.

My own preferences....

1) PC for gaming

2) PS3 - Japanese RPG addict from waaaaay back.

3) Wii - looks like lots of fun

4) Xbox - Chav special - not in my house

I'd think the wii controller could be a lot to deal with for someone who's easily frustrated... A mate of mine at school (who we now reckon was almost certainly ADD or similiar, but at the time everyone just assumed was a little ****er) used to have loads of problems with spectrum games (QAOPspace) but was brilliant at Master System games, once we got one of those.

God, I feel old.

Alrighty...

If you only had to buy one it depends on what you like i would assumepeople buying morethan one would buy a PS3 or 360 as there similar and then a Wii... i've always had nintendo stuff since i was little due to them making the best games, although the third party support isn't the greatest.

As for the xbox being a chav special i'd dispute that. I work in a games shop and when ever some new scally ****e comes out (need for speed, Fifa etc..) its always for the PS2 that they want it for. The PS2 is great for RPGs but other than that you can get anything decent and more on the Xbox and a better version of it.

360 -

*The team behind FF1 - 8 is now with micrsoft.. new game called Blue Dragon
*Microsoft end up buying the licenses or development teams of most good things (PGR, Pro Evo.. etc)
*Its not as powerful as PS3 but its easier to program for apparently.. only MGS4 looks better than Gears of war from the PS3 lauch titles.
*Ninja Gaiden 2!
*Its realtivly cheap look around for deals a basic one costs about 200 but for a 300 you can get a premium several games and an extra pad will save you lots of money in long run.
*Xbox live is exceptional.. gears of war is amazing on it + the live arcade stuff.
*If its for a kid alot of the games are shooters and sports ones so it might not be so suitable.

Wii -
*Controller is strange on first use but good.
*its can play Cube games and virtual console for older games as well, mario 64 on launch.
*Zelda is amazing, once again... fishing with the controller is great.
*It would be good for a kid if you can get over the controller.
*Tis only £180 but you will struggle to get one this side of xmas.

PS3 -

*Controller basically a hybrid of the 360 and wii.. which could be a good thing.
* Will be good for jap games again.
*is the most powerful but takes a brute force approach so the 360 can do more with its lot. They might be closer than many think.
*Metal gear 4 looks amazing on it, not for launch though.
*Is £425!!
*Again the games will be similar to the 360 so maybe not so suitable for a kid.

ok thats just my 2 cents in my house i use..

PC - internet and Football manager

360/Wii - games

DS - for wandering about

Can't give any advice...

But..

Thats Wiiiii thingy, does that mean in 2 player mode you can face your mates with the two handsets (say on a fighting game), and basically kick the hell out of each other using the handsets.....

Just imagining having a fight with a mate with these controllers, and being mimicd on the TV screen :lol:

Yes, Wii Sports Boxing (which comes free with the Wii) lets you do exactly that. You'll need to buy the second controller though.

Daimo 07-12-06 03:06 PM

They need one with Knee, elbox, shin, and feet sensors then :lol:

Reviews say they didnt quite iron out the bugs in the control system so it's not that accurate. More a case of luck pulling off different moves. The next gen of fighting games on the Wii should be superb once the devs have more experience in the controller
