PS3,Wii,PS3,Wii...???Given the launch dates for both of these consoles are in november now.Which console do u think will be sold the most here in KL.As for me,if given the money (Pokai as of now) ,which console would be the best?And between these 2,which one are u getting?

•Wii Connect 24•XBOX LIVE•PlayStation Network Platform•

What Next Gen are U???

Next Gen is Now

I'll go for the "NEW" gen. Nintendo Wii FTW!!

excellent choice,i'd probably get the wii...then maybe in december...who knows i might even get the PS3 eventually

PS3.
reason:MGS4. simple

are u actually getting it during launch??i might...oh god...im pokai,hopefully tak mahal like 3k or above,then i might consider getting it before wii.But the media centre abilitys are too mouth drooling...and the ability to play mpeg videos stored in the memory stick,im not worthy

me?
nah...
i've never gotten a console at launch day,and dont intend to start now.(besides,i stay in Msia,no way in hell im getting it on launch DAY! )

also,MGS4 comes out next year...not during launch day..

I not intrested in PS3 yet....i am looking foward to Wii.........but i hear that Wii coming at 2007.....

erk,november i think thats what it states in IGN

Wow...........really lookin forward to.

When I finally got some cash to buy Wii, I probably not buying any Wii's launch titles. I gonna sample some GameCube games I missed (The Legand of Zelda :The Wind Waker and RE4) before moving on to the "New" Gen games...

wait until a year than buy ps3 maybe..by that time price come down oredi..n more games..now no money...

Wii. PS3 can wait.

wait as long as you want,there wont be vibration

at least for the foreseeable future... =p

Same with me.

eheh ur thinking is the same exactly like me....double-edged sword...i desperate to play WW but since Gamecube sooo few other games i wait and see...

Thats fine by me. I can wait 10 yrs to play FFXIII and MGS4 when the PS3 would be dirt cheap or even better, throwaway-able and hopefully some chum would dump his ol' PS3 with me. In the meantime, IF I get the Wii, I can play those 2 Rogue Squadron games I've lusted after for sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo long.

I buy everything~. I have no choice~. and I can't choose

you know why ?

because I must have all of them~

For People Sake!!

(djinn is "gila" at the moment . so Please ignore this post message )

wii first.. then ps3..

wii... game will be cheaper than ps3 games

Go your shop rob.. haha

djinn, must be generous and caring, supply everyone with ps3s and wiis or at least giv hefty discounts ehh.. return to the lowyat community

PS3. Definately. Thinking bout the next generation Winning Eleven, Metal Gear Solid 4 etc just makes me come in my pants!

Anyone got a rough idea of the pricing? The price in UK has been confirmed at 425UKP which if directly exchanged into MYR would cost about 3000+. Sounds f***ing nuts to me!

PS3 for Monster Hunter 3.

Wii for mario, zelda, resident evil, super monkey ball and alot of fun

ps3 can wait

wii is cheaper... and currently lots of ps3 game dev are having problem wif ps3 coz if its high expenses on the dev tool ... forget some jap gaming magazine stated it

No or got Vibration actually didnt have additional effect in the game for me....

So its not a let down.....

I'm in for PS3.........

Its the same issue for PS2 last time....

No worries, The cost will be lower in the further years as they completed exploit the function of ps3....

wah.. like that I "habis Wang" nevermind la~ once my shop open you guys can come and try the Nintendo Wii or Playstation3 lo~

Follow what Peter Moore said and go for the Wii60! Cheap new Gen gimmicky games and value for money Next Gen titles with the best online console service~!

seems like Wii > PS3 in LYN right now

as for me

Wii!
a magical waving dildo

for free?


a new way of teaching young 'uns of sex

Wii for me.. and guess what, i already pre-ordered them weeks ago

PS3 for me..WInning eleven is the game that makes me desperate for it most.

Winning Eleven & GTA, the 'used to be' playstation time exclusive game, will be release simultaneously on both ps3 & xb360.

Yeah true..which is why I am also considering the Xbox 360..but then when you look at the Xbox 360's premium edition..still need to add a lot of things like wifi and etc. I dunno..there are others like FFXII

i hope these multi platform games do make full use of the system's strengths..

last thing i wanna see is 360's version having virbation,
ps3 version not using the tilt

you mean FFXIII,right..?

OOPss!!! Yeah!!! you are definitely right..hahaha..I missed out one I..FFXII still on PS2..haha.. me sleeping when posting...


Argh...Cannot decide!! Ok right now I am interested in buying the DS Lite to play Mario. However, I am also interested in buying the PS3. But then I just found out that Xbox 360 will also have Winning Eleven and it's so much cheaper..and then well..the Wii looks really cool. Gimme some advice..on what should buy and what should just leave out?

This post has been edited by Tereno: Jul 4 2006, 08:29 PM

Xbox360 has a huge advantage for us Malaysians as its games are pretty cheap as they are priced for the Singapore market. Whereas for PS3 or Wii, we'll be paying the same amount that Americans and Japanese people pay, which can easily be anywhere around RM220 to RM300

Between PS3 and Wii, I'll definitely go for the Wii, because:

1) Cheap price. It's not gonna cost more than US$250 at launch, so we should be able to get it here around RM1500 or less. Excellent deal for a launch system considering what we saw when PS2, 360 and PSP were all released.

2) Games. At the moment, the launch lineup for the Wii is just too good. Zelda at launch? With Super Monkey Ball? And Smash Bros not too far off?? I'm there

I say this thread is a little unfair, because you did not list 360 as well. ( I assume you didn't because it has already launched or available )

But seriously, turn off the fanboyism.. They're both in different worlds.

You want something innovative and new? Get Wii.

You wants great graphics + Blu ray : PS3.

Being a Wii60 fanboy, I have to say, the PS3 MIGHT come out good if Blu Ray works out. The only reason why I'm saying this.. it's because Blu-Ray players now cost at least close to USD1000. And the PS3 costs USD600. (I have lack of information on Blu-Ray cuz I don't care much)

Why pay USD1k when you can do more with USD600?

I tip my hat to Sony for taking risks. They may be confident in their 'loyal' userbase, but it MIGHT fail as UMD did.

Again, seriously: I'm a gamer. Support games, not console. So.. it's

Wii .. 360.. then PS3 if I had the cash to blow.

Good luck to next gen.

Because most probably the PS3 will suck at movie playback? Honestly, that question is akin to asking 'why pay rm2000 for a CD player when a rm200 china dvd player will do CDs AND DVDs plus mp3.'

This post has been edited by BurgaFlippinMan: Jul 5 2006, 02:29 PM

i dont think it's suck...more like want to save the lens from dying to quickly

Well, I've always told myself(and others) that, price comes with quality. (but not everything la )

Seems that Blu-Ray wants to specialize on movie playback(?) and storage, I do not know why you say it sucks. Please elaborate.

Remember, I'm no PS3 fan, nor do I know much about it's feature functionalities, like HMDI(wtf?) and their play-back qualities.

hmm,to me,i personally think this is quite a bargain for a Blu player,it even plays SACD's,DVD's,CD's,or wtv.I mean,even able to play movies from sd cards and MSD's,and even able to manage audio withs its cell proccesor,22.2 if u want.Able to produce resolutions up to 1080p and stuff.Or even being a media centre that well,plays games and blu ray,Might not be as innovative as the wii,or Graphically better than the 360,But hey,u can still download games and movies*(unsure),check your mail,See and talk to your family and friends,play with your friends,then after that just sit back and relax to some music that u happen to freshly rip a minute ago,same goes to your movies,put it in and rip it,store 10 movies and still have lets say 10GB for other stuff,then delete the movies after a month or 2,then put new movies,all for the size of a house(err.).

Even though its expensive,people,will buy one eventually,maybe at launch,maybe a month or 2 after that,then maybe a year or so,or 3 years later.It doesnt matter,it just come down to this one question:Do u watch movies and surf the net,or just play?
If u do watch movies and listen to music or even surf the net,then this console is for u,if u dont watch movies but just play games which are fun and innovative its the wii,Or u just play games for shear awesomeness in graphics and dwld game demos,then the 360 is for u.

Me?i dunno,since i have the 360,i'll get a ps3 to see how good it is,then i'll get a wii as a secondary console.Dont be mad at me,its just who i'am.I'am next gen.

Which next gen are you?

the PS2 sucked at DVDs

mine doesnt...hell of a lot better than my stand alone SONY dvd player

well then I must have got a lemon. The picture is soft, a bit noisy, with poor shadow detail. Even my chum's RM700 microcompo system whacks the living daylights out of it.

This post has been edited by BurgaFlippinMan: Jul 6 2006, 01:53 PM

me thinks wii will be the best player this november. PS3 is too much expensive. Xbox 360 is expensive too but, I can afford it. PS 3... haiyooo.

if u want for real next gen games... i think PS3 is the one... but if u like entertainment and fun and unique(not saying ps3 is no unique or entertaining or fun) but wii is guarenteed to have all the fun elements.....

but for me honestly i will go for ps3 eventhough it is pricy but it will gives the true sense of realism...(I like real-like games)....

but if u so kaya go for all la(hehe xbox360 too..)

so choose wisely my fren...

I looking foward to Wii

PS3 of course no questions about it. Wii to me more like a "kiddy" console, or more "family" friendly console. Xbox360..nothing to say about it, just not interested, rather play their games on PC.

Wow, another 'kiddie' Wii/Nintendo comment.

Zelda?
Red Steel?
Call of Duty 3?
Exclusive Resident Evil?

Hm.. Gosh, you're right! That is kidday!!

"Real" next gen games?? I don't see anything that the XBOX360 is any less next-gen than PS3. In terms of hardware, both are more or less equal. They're both current-gen DX9 Shader Model 3.0 GPU from ATI and Nvidia. The only difference lies in the CPU. Unless the CELL proves to be exceptional, there's really nothing that says it's vastly superior to the XBOX360. Currently the PS3 doesn't shows anything that can't be done on an XBOX360 or a high end PC for that matter.

Unlike the PS2 and XBOX, the old XBOX was actually 1 generation ahead of the PS2 in terms of the GPU. Here, the PS3 and XBOX360 is more or less from the same generation and the only reason the PS3 isn't released yet is due to that crappy Blu-Ray DVD that SONY is trying to cram into our throats.

The WII will probably be just slightly inferior in terms of hardware to XBOX360 and PS3, but then again, it'll probably won't be any significant difference (other than it can't display in HDTV mode) since the GPU is also from ATI.

In this gen, the graphical difference will be quite insignificant especially between PS3 and XBOX360. If you're not running HD, then the WII probably can handle anything the PS3 can do albeit at lower resolution.

The decisive factor this gen will be:
(1) Price
(2) Originality
(3) 3rd Party Support

The PS3 has lost factor 1 and 2. If they can't convince people to buy their overpriced junk, 3rd Party Support will also be a diminishing factor...and given the current respond of 3rd party developers on the PS3, it doesn't seem to bright.

Analyst have predict a very possible 3rd place placing for SONY this time.

I just hope Nintendo/MS can whoop SONY's arse and teach them not to make us consumer/supporters the pawn in their media format world domination plan.

games worth mentoning would be zelda, metroid, mario. i dont really see anything else, but maybe still early to conclude. any fighting games coming out? wonder hows it like to perform a special move with the remote, or maybe execute a tekken 10-hit combo? or maybe cant at all, must use the regular controller.

red steel - no doubt the fighitng is unique, heck i would love to try it, but how long do u think someone can play with all that swinging? i guess the attacks with be "limited".
call of duty - i always love fps on PC, no matter how good it can be on console, it never beats playing it on PC.
RE - havent really announce also, or maybe i miss it somewhere.

buy anyway, still hard to say much, must wait until all 3 launched and people can get first-hand experience.

i'll be goin for PS3.. or maybe try on wii..
but of course if im getting one it will be ps3 only..

i tried xbox 360 and never liked it cuz of the controller.. never liked it since xbox.. haha.. to me it feels like dreamcast controllers..

The devs know for a FACT that swinging too much will INDEED tire you out. That's why they took it out from Zelda and just stuck with press 'B' for slashing.

And no-one is gonna swing like mad as in, basebat bat/tennis gesture? Rest your arms on your laps, and SWAY your wrist. The Wiimote is a very sensitive control device. Unlike shaking vigorously on the House of the Dead 4 Uzi. Just go see how simple it is over the E3 videos. (and please, take a look at the Red Steel trailer, High Quality if you can)

Fighting games? They didn't come out with the traditional controller for traditional games for nothing. Besides, why play a 2d fighting game on Wii when you're looking forward to new control scheme which can never be found on other consoles? (traditional games vs. new control scheme games)



FPS's never too good for consoles? But we're comparing (traditional)controller vs. motion based now aren't we? Besides, Metroid Hunters does a very good job emulating the feels of a mouse on a TOUCH-SCREEN. Even better than an analog nub, it's smooth, it's accurate, and there's much sensitivity to controls.

You're pretty much right about 'limited' attacks in Red Steel, because Ubisoft doesn't want to include 'freestyle' sword swinging. And there's alot of things you'll have to put into consideration: Like how if you slice from above and the enemy parrys, what exactly happens when you swing all the way down? The Wiimote doesn't actually STOPS you from continously moving right? etc. etc. etc. Red Steel devs has a blog in IGN.

You want freestyle swordswinging? Let's wait till George Lucas brings us Star Wars.. *cough Exclusive cough*

you sure bout that?

as long as square-enix develop their games on certain console which is sony currenly, i will choose ps3. vice versa. period.

LOL.. You got that right!

Yeap, software sells .. FFXIII almost looks like CGI(or maybe..). I wonder what FFXVVVIIIII1111onetwomillion would look like.

But since I was talking about FFXXXVVIIIII.. It could be REAL! zOMG

sihumchai : haha, no problem la. u have ur views and i have mine, still hard to conclude anything until we actually own one.

This post has been edited by Stanley88: Jul 12 2006, 09:03 AM

You get your grill, I get my Pee, then share share kay?

Buy Wii first then PS3 (maybe like 2008) when price is drop... the reason is already got xbox360 and bought LCD TV without HDMI so dont care much with PS3 furthermore most of their xclusive title microsoft already "rasuah" them heheheh ..unless kena loteri maybe or have to wait till 2008

Ill go to PS3!!!!

of cause ps3, but i just wan wait the mod version one, i no realy interest wii

^haha,wait 10 years bro,there wont be one.Play ORI

what makes you think there wont be any hacks?

Wii, then ps3 maybe. Hopefully the price will drop alot after the first year. First 6 months it should drop alot right?

if there was one,it would take quite some time kan?

but discs i dont think so,there still finding a way to make jiplak UMD disc what

because that uses a non standard format?

Never say never.....remember Dreamcast GD ROMS that held more than 1GB of data....they managed to compress it all into a CD Plus I'm sure most of the 1st gen PS3 games will still be using DVD as the main media as it's cheaper, and I don't really see many games that'll require more than 8GB of space (dual layer DVD). It'll be a while till we see a game that requires the full capacity of a Blu Ray.

Anyhoots, on topic I'll definitely go for Wii 1st. Why?

1) Economy is bad PS3 will probably cost RM3K, and games probably around RM300. Wii will probably cost half of that, a good thing in my book.

2) Games. Right now I don't really see anything on the PS3 that tickles my fancy. I've grown tired of the FF and MGS series, so there's no real pull for me. Wii on the other hand, has some very interesting titles, including the launch title Zelda, and soon after that, Super Smash Bros, Mario and Metroid. Lovely.

Remember PS2 launch games? The only game that uses DVD-ROM at launch is Kessen, while all the other launch games still using CD-ROM.

well,u guys got me...haha...i still have tekken tag tournament japanese cd-rom...fun like hell

sure will take some time, but surely will b hacked in..

now no need make umd disc loo
blu-ray disc in few years time will b like dvds now..

IMHO,

Xbox360
Making use of online content (bill gate intend to join xbox player and pc in using MsLive feature build into Vista). Imagine whatever game you brought in both platform, everyone play in one big portal (aka steam+skpe+msg+xfire)

Wii - Fun factor alway with nintendo

PS3- lot supporter due to earlier success. but they seems lost focus with psp and ps3 compare to the other. and they alway try to secure the media format like bluray, memory stick, umd... they done that in their pda, camera, psp, laptop etc...darn I.P fee begger

Btw, though i luv my ps2, the preview ps3 make me felt it's only a ps2 with better hardware. no new inovation or extra "ump" unlike the other 2.

Probabily i will go for wii, as my pc match wat xbox360 can provide me. of course my NDS:lite too as protable

cheers!

I cant play ori la,im from poor family!

isnt there already a Bluray duplicator?

maybe some,not most-Sony is forcing them to use BR,from what i've read


terbalik,in my case

what "ump" does the 360 bring to the table?
from what i've seen,it's basically a xbox,souped up graphics,same gameplay
only the ps3,wii have different controls

Xbox360 bring online content into living room. They do this in PC but xbox360 let those whom no pc savy able to enjoy this feature very easily.

wii have diffrent approach in using controller.

What is the dif between ps1, ps2 and Ps3 other then improve due to better hardwar like in graphic and more complicated AI algorithm (but then ps2 AI is far behind's PC AI)?

But i think their biggest mistake is delay in delivery of the system to market. It will be worst if ps3 is delay to after wii launch.

Erk,doesnt the ps3 bring online content as well?free online play,and internet browser are nice touches,even though the graphics are still twitchy and laggy compared to the 360,one day it wil be as good or better than 360.

For some reason im currently more interested in the wii more than the other 2.Maybe its because the wiimote,or the gameplay,or simply because its small,and i wouldnt have to worry if it looks like crap because my tv has enough power to produce 480p or even 720p.For ps3 though,im really curious to see what 1080p looks like,but they say that a TV below 60" u wouldnt be able to see the difference between 1080i and 1080p.Maybe just minor differences,The 360 on the other hand is collecting dust,being a region locked console,im not able to play most of the new games that interests me now.And having my LIVE expired,i wouldnt wanna spend 200+ bucks for a year of online play as im currently pokai.So the 360 is currently our upscaling dvd player (poor,poor,360).

With the Wii,i would be able to play games like never before,with graphics abit nicer than the previous Xbox but lower than the 2 next gen ones(which isnt a problem),i could play games with my friends in a much funner,(i could lose weight?)exciting way.With expected free Online play and Opera web browser(go opera!),its one heck of a console.I could even hook up my Nintendo DS via wifi and send files or maybe play my games on the TV.NDS games of course.And with a nintendo DS lite that my bro in law bought yesterday in japan (god come back quick,i wanna touch!),it'll accompany the wii's design.Beautiful Design.

With the PS3,it will serve as a Game console,media centre and computer( ).Checking my mails before playing with 32 people in Warhawk accompanied with free online service would have never been easier.I can play with 6 of my friends with the 7 controller support and rip CD's and Movies in the console.I'll watch Blu-Ray movies and even use my PSP to help me in some games.Maybe Even send files(like Wii).

In the 360 though.I play games with awesome graphics and even download demos or stuff at the marketplace.I will also pay 85 bucks every 3 months for online games.

All 3 have its pros and cons.

Thats all i have to say.

This is what make me furious, when I talk to my friends about 360, they will bash it because of the region lock. The way they say it is like Xbox 360 is the first console to have enforce region lock system.

It's not surprising since they only played pirated games before on their modded PS1 and PS2 and don't know that region lock exist on their console as well. Hate region lock? Blame Nintendo for starting them.

For me, I don't care if Xbox 360 is region locked. Most Japanese / US game will be available in Asia version, and Asia's game are about USD 20 cheaper than US / Japanese game, which is a plus for me.

Don't get me wrong, I'll get both Wii and PS3 when there are games that I want to play available on those consoles. Region free on PS3 is a plus, though I'll most probably buy Asian games (cheaper price) than US / Japanese games.

dude i know how u feel about me saying that.

But im using a PAL console

no hard feelings ler atas tuh

No hard feelings. I just hate those who bash Xbox 360 because of region lock when they themselves don't know that all the console before 360 does have region lock implemented, and they don't know about it because they bought their console pre-modded.

This post has been edited by mzaidi: Jul 18 2006, 07:05 PM

like ps2 and so on

ps3's contoller is similiar to wii's but not as good/sensitive.
ps3 doesnt have vibration
360 is the same as xbox

i dont remember any nintendo system(aside from GC) which is region locked-was N64 region locked?

The regional lockout was first implemented on European NES.



Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nintendo_Entertainment_System

ah now i see...damn european NES's..

Just because Nintendo came up with the region lock to actually curb bootlegs, they shouldn't really be blamed for "creating" region lock. In their history, Nintendo was never really strict on imports. AFAIK, all their cartridge-based systems (N64 and before) were region free. Heck, when Datel wanted to open the region locking of the Gamecube with their Action Replay, Nintendo allowed them. The GC was the only console in the last gen that was truly region free

I don't think PS3's controller is even close to being "similar" to the Wii. There is quite some difference between motion-sensing on the Wiimote, and the tilt-sensing on the PS3 controller. The PS3 controller is most similar to the PS2 controller The only difference is the addition of tilt, and the removal of vibration

The 360 controller may seem like the same with the xbox, but for one major difference: the guide button. Ok, it's just one additional button, but it's the most important button in the whole 360 experience, as it opens up so many options while you are playing, whether it be playing music, chatting with friends, messaging, changing your settings.....I can't really explain, but I think fellow 360 owners will understand what I'm trying to say.

From the outside, yeah, the 360 is the same as xbox. But in the interface, the software, the interaction.....the 360 is totally a new experience compared to the xbox

This post has been edited by Darkchaser: Jul 19 2006, 08:34 PM

I'm not sure about N64, but console before N64 which (SNES) is region locked. They implement this by using different cartridge shape on different region. Hence, Japanese game couldn't fit into US' cartridge slot. Japanese & European SNES have similar cartidge shape, but they put a region lockout chip on the console which prevents European game to be played on Japanese console and vice versa.

So, maybe they did that on NES to curb bootleg, but when they continue that on SNES, it's clear that they don't want gamers to import games from other region.

Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snes

As for Xbox 360. Eventhough the region lockout are implemented into the hardware, it's up to the game's developer / publisher whether they want to use the region lockout or not.

i meant similiar in that you can move it,and the onscreen characters(or camera) moves
comparatively,it is nothing like the wiimote

I wouldn't call it the same. It has better ergonomic feel, wireless, a shoulder button which ps3 use it too...a guide button which ps3 use it as well.

Both also sounds awesome..but i'll buy PS3 1st since i'm looking forward to it's machine..hehe

shoulder button...the original xbox didnt have any shoulder buttons?
i thought it had them...

Hey! Where did all the fan boys go?!!!
LOL!!! I would very like 2 see anyone saying "PS3, coz nintendo's 2 childish n the graphic suxx, nuff said!" or "WII, coz i feel like it n my family all go for ninty, nuff said!" being booed by fellow lowyat forumers...


Hehe, if there's anyone gonna buy all three, pls dont post it here la~ It's not a disscusion about which is better anymore...
U are simply being a nice guy and saying that 3 consoles are good and not criticising 1, u'll kill the forum,lol...(no offence)

I'll go for the most popular 1 around, of course after around some time first... I dont wanna repeat the same mistake i made again(i cant find any game shop selling the games of my 'game machine'-not saying which one, except fer those which were selling in a ridiculously high pricing...)
