Wii = games
xbox 360 = games
PS3 = fighting a format war then games
the reason microsoft is launching its HD DVD add on for its XBox 360 is because Sony is incorporating Blu-ray in its PS3. Microsoft said that its game will not be in HD DVD format but the standard DVD9. Sony claim XBox 360 games quality is at the standard of PS2. But Microsoft claims that 360 games are already hitting the 720p HD definition. If Sony's claim is true, then their PS2 games are HD games, why wasnt that used in the marketing campaign for PS2? If what microsoft is claiming is valid that a DVD9 of 8G capacity is enough to store HD games why would game playing customers forced to pay higher price for a 25G and 50G format in the form of Blu-ray in PS3.
price
Wii = not out yet but cheaper than xbox 360 and PS3
Xbox 360 = USD299 and USD399 (not including HD DVD Player add on)
PS3 = USD499 and USD599
game price
Wii =
XBox 360 = USD50-60 http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/search-h...=XBox+360+games
PS3 =
Game title availability
Wii = dunno yet
XBox 360 = announced that 160 title would be available by November (for confirmed listing both already in the market and in production) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Xbox_360_games
PS3 = (for listing in production) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_PlayStation_3_games
contrary to the launch of Grand Auto Theft 3 on PS2 platform first before XBox. Grand Auto Theft 4 will be launch either simultanouse on the two platforms or on the latter platform first (cant really fault them because Xbox 360 has been out more than half a year.
The question remain is will PS3 be launch in time for Santa to put in present boxes by November this year. The Inquirer has cautious consumers as Sony havent even come out with the prototype during the E3 - 6 months prior to the release date. What about the production line for the PS3?
