From what I can tell is the first Gen of all consoles suck and usually not worth buying..

360 FTW, Wii does look interesting, and for $250 US, not a bad deal.  The games though will be a deciding factor in months to come.

Consoles do suck.  After the N64 (Goldeneye FTW), consoles went downhill imo.

I'm not sure of my feelings of the Wii in the commericals there is way to much movement. I play games to sit and relax if I wantted to move I'd go play sports... Even though the games do look cool.

Sony is currently losing money on each PS3 sold, because of the immense costs of research and production development.

as gay as I find the term 'FTW,' I gotta agree that Goldeneye slays shit to this day.

well, to be honest....i just played gears of war on my buddies 360 and man...now i must have one.  Before that, i had no interest. bought the original xbox for ninja gaiden...hopefully there will be a sweet ps3 game...otherwise i can wait. Anyone else like that?

btw..forbes.com says they are losing about $240/ unit...dang must be nice.

The cost of the PS3 for Sony is something about 800/850 U$S, so make your maths.

Cool thing about the 360 is it's hackable now. The PS3 may be but 360 games are already all over the newsgroups. The Sony was pushed back time and time again for different issues. Makes ya wonder.

Consider the perfomance and price of the PS3, you could easily buy a pc off dell with less performance at 2 or 3 times the price.

Sony losing money per PS3 isn't that big a shock it happens with every console, its just Sony is losing much, BUT thats not where they make the huge profit, its the Game Developers that give Sony its share to make games, dont have a thorough explanation but yeah, plus the "Cell Broadband" CPU abuses other CPU's but its built strictly for console gaming, Nvidia's RSX 'intro' "RSX will be the most sophisticated graphics processor ever built, representing 1500 person-years of investment. When combined with Cell, it will provide an astounding two teraflops of floating point horsepower." wikipedia "Teraflop" if you dont know what it is, that with Blu-Ray disc format which can hold 25GB on a single layer disc and 50GB of space on a dual layer disc


and for all these lame-asses "oh i'd choose pc gaming over console gaming anyday" ...  tell me why the FUCK cant you play PC games and Console games, does it feel like your cheating on your computer??? damn its just gaming, entertainment...past times and for some, hobbies

so EA I need a job, you see me turn a thread into shit WITH advertising, as you've done with BF2, more thoroughly in 2142 with "dynamic in game advertising" (pc's sold seperately)

eh suppers ready

is there a real reason why the games went up, so they are for the new consoles ie. 360 or ps3, and a real reason why blu ray or HD dvds have to be more expensive, I understand they have the name blu ray or HD dvd and they have more tech on the disc but all they are, are copies of the first orignal ???

Theres your justification, though at this moment in time it is still not clear if HD-DVD or Blu ray will be the next format, but considering that and the fact its more powerful than most peoples computers then it's a pretty stagering machine.  But, I agree, 1st year of new console is a bit........  Remember the 1st ps2 titles?  BMW 3.28I, lol thing sucked but looked awsome at the time.  Mgs4 looks great, gran turisimo HD for car nuts will be the ultimate game (like me) plus all the other shit in the works.  I will wait till the next grand theft auto is out
