The thing you have to remember is graphics and controls and other things like that take so much room, so lets just say that the graphics for a game took up 1g (doubt it'd be that high but who knows with the newer systems?) So right there you only have 4g on a dvd for everything else, and with multiple disks, you'd still have to use that same amount of room on each disk, so if your game required 5 dvds, you'd lose 5g, while with a blu-ray, you'd only need 1 disk, so you'd only lose 1g of memory.

Exactly my point, how dare they even atempt to make me work in any fashion while playing my video games.

Just throwing out some things for you, not trying to go against you, I'm just playing devils advocate.

Ok my turn, on the other side of the wheel if a game comes out for both systems PS3 would be 1 disk and 360 would be like 4 disk(give or take). I have no problem with that and your right multiple disks arn't bad, BUT what if PS3 has a multi disk game think about for every disk thats 4 disk for 360. This is where I beleive the differnce will be and if there is ever a 3 disk PS3 game, size wise its so far beyond any other system.(no one would play a 15 disk game for 360)

Now I have NOTHING against 360, my friend has it and I love it. But the PS3 to me seems to have the most potential, It all depends on if they use its potential to its fullest.

[Stargazer]

Wii has the most potential as it appeals to non-hardcore gamers and hardcore gamers.

[Paladin58]

I agree with those points, except for one small one. That whole '1gig graphics' one, though a valid point, it is very doubtful it will get to that. With the 360 having an HDD, they would possibly go so far as to rip some of that data onto the 360, storing it in the space where all the game information goes, once Microsoft gets off its high horse in terms of not letting developers require an HDD for their games. In fact, due to the HDD in the PS3, Sony could do that if they wanted to, because they made no such statement. But, nowadays, there are no true 'epic' games that require more than one disc, with the exception of the Final Fantasy series. And they usually have more discs because they get too lazy around the 'constriction phase' and leave all the in-game cutscenes at their normal size. And, for some reason I think that the uber-large game you're prophesizing will be in the FF series, those lazy bastards always trying to ruin my arguments *shakes fist at Square-Enix*. Good gaming related chat. I know I may have contradicted myself somewhere in that, but I have an out, as I've been sick for the past few days.

Technicly then the wii has the most "apeal" of all the systems, as far as potential I would say it has the least because of hardware limitaions.

lol this topic started out talking about a Gundam game for the PS3 and changed to a discussion about consoles.

[Stargazer]

oh, you meant like graphics wise and that eh finite?

sorry, I thought you meant sales wise and so on.

[Infinity238]

Indeed I am still amazed at Nintendo's marketing abillities, take the wii (a system that barely deserves the name next gen) and they have turned it into the "cool" system to have.

[Stargazer]

it's probably because it's reinvented itself while the PS3 and the Xbox 360 are just doing the same old stuff over again.

I can't stress how fun LoZ: Twilight Princess is with the Wii-Remote and Nun-chuck.

I mean to do fishing you actually gotta flick the wii-remote forward like you would with a real rod then do the circular motion with the nunchuck exactly how you would when reeling in a fish.

plus the whole slashing with the wii-remote to make link slash is just so cool.

[Darkspleen]

Yea well, I found the slashing part boring after hour 2, and I bet if I had to try the fishing part more than 3 times, I'd have hated it, but it sure was funny the first time I did it!

[Stargazer]

really? I still find it awesome.

alot more satisfying then pressing A or B.

[Darkspleen]

I bet thats because I just grew up with the whole A B button thing but poeple who are new to gaming will love it.

[Stargazer]

I grew up with A + B aswell.

I guess it comes down to taste/willingness to change.

you also twirl the nunchuck to do a spin, jab the nunchuck forward to do a shield bash and then various other things.

[Darkspleen]

Its cool and all, put when playing the game, I had the impulse to swing the controller like I would a real sword, which (I think this is the game's fault) was less effective then making minor wrist movements.

[Strike FreedomX]

Just as a side note here, don't buy the 360 fan attachment, it fucks more 360s up than it actually helps.
...and just to throw my opinion in here, so far the PS3 has nothing I want to play except Resistance: Fall of Man, and that doesn't even look that great. As for the Wii the only games I want are LOZ:TP and SSB:B and I don't want to spend $250+ games when I can spend it on 360 games I can thoroughly enjoy, Ex. Crackdown, Mass Effect, Mobile Ops, Halo 3, The Darkness, BioShock, and do I really need to go on?

Also here is what Ol' Bill has to say about the other consoles.

Ya right now the 360 is really the only console with a very solid base of games... I mean RS:V, Dead Rising, GOW, GRAW, Lost Planet... Personally I would have bought the 360 even if it only had Dead Rising hah.

But anyways I think that any retail Gundam game will be crap unless the makers of ZOE2 make it. In every Gundam game I have played the gundams are slow and clunky... which isn't all that fun, especially when in the animes they are zipping around everywhere. This one probably won't be any different... but hopefully I am wrong.

[Dark Lord Revan]

But just because a console doesnt have solid base of games now doesnt mean that you should just buy the other instead. Unless gaming is just a quick fix for you or something. For me its something part of my lifestyle lol. So ps3 and wii for me still.

[Stargazer]

and other people in other countries have to pay different amounts of money.

it's $1000 here in Australia for a 60gb PS3, and we don't get the choice to buy the smaller one.
