Well everyone is making a blog about the new consoles, so I thought why not make one myself.

I guess I should list my views on the new systems.

x-box 360

ok so this new system has been out for a long time wiht no next-gen competition. Yet it is still selling less than older systems. Adding to that they release their best games on pc (halo, oblivion, etc). To me it just seems like a failure. However since microsoft has a seemingly endless supply of money so I dont see it dying out either. The 360 does have lots of things online, which might have been the best feature if they didnt make you pay for live.

Itwill be interesting to see where 360 is in one year, once ps3 and wii have had time to settle into the market.

ps3

Ok the ps3. Extremely high price, new expensive disc type. Expensive games. Copied wii controller. Shortages. To me it looks like a repeat of the x-box 360 only costing more. The ps2 was a great system, and thats sure to help it get sales. But considering they lose money each sale I dont see how thats gonna help them much. I wonder… are cross-platform games gonna put full work into pulling the most out of this systems ridiculous power? probably not. Therefore I dont think its graphics are gonna be that much better in many cases. the ps3 has a lot of extra features, I will give it that. But all those features are things you find on any computer, to me the ps3 is a gaming computer, only limited to their games only.

I think its gonna do about as good as the 360 is.

Wii

Nintendo hasnt exactly been doing good when it comes to consoles. The gamecube was good, but it just didnt get enough games out and died. The wii however seems to have a great game lineup for the first year or so, and they havent even announced sequals to greta games like pikmin. The connect 24 service sounds really nice too, improving upon the ds wifi (which might I mention, is extremely popular) the wii only has one friend code for all games. The mii service is interesting too, I am interested to see how close I can get one to look like me. Oh and did I forget to mention the controller. Unless something goes wrong (and the people who have played the wii are lying) the controller should be a major draw to the wii. Although right now its advertised right along with the wii its likely that, like the ds, once the system is out people will forget how obsessed they were with the controls. Not all ds games use the touch screen, and many more barely use it. The same thing will probably happen with some wii games. Since the wii can use the gamecube controller, and has a new controller for the virtual console (oh yeah another good thing about the wii) games dont have to take advantage of the motion sensing controls. The controls just add another possibility to the system.

edit: oh yeah it costs less then the other systems

well this is getting way too long, id better stop listing good things =p

also please note I did say that the wii might mess up, just because I had a lot of good things ot say about it doesnt mean I think it will be the best no matter what. Its still gotta do what nintendo says it will. If nintendo does win though…. it would probably mean that the next batch of systems to come out would try to take innovation to yet another level. Something I look forward to happening.

wow I think I wrote too much o.0 ive never wrote a blog like this before =p
