Yeah well...I kind of wrote this on my forum but I just wanted to share and her your views. Anyways...here:
Which console am I most intersted in?
I'd have to say the Revolution, Nintendo seems really hyped up about it. They're even saying by 2007 they will once again be in control of the Video Game industry. The controller has to be one of the most innovative things I have seen in a while. While it may fail at some genres(most likely fighters), the controller will have attachements. Now noone really knows whats going to happen there...but it opens up an even bigger range of possibilites. Plus, think how some of their biggest named titles will play with tha controller. I'm dreaming about Metroid, Star Fox, and Warioware almost everyday.
Then Nintendo has the whole free internet gameplay thing. Plus the downloadable games all the way back to the NES era.
This will be a Revolution...
Now, the Xbox360 which is to come out in a few days now isn't coming out too strong. The one good launch title is Perfect Dark, and lets face it...Rare hasn't been on top of their game lately. None of it's other big titles come out until next year, or aren't even dated yet. I'm mainly speaking of TES IV: Oblivion, Fable, and Halo 3. Then the 360 can't even play all of the last gens games, sure it can play Halo...but Halo is the most overrated game since FFVII. Top that off with Microsofts stupid idea to release "premium" items. I'm talking about how they are selling the 360 and selling memberships to Xbox Live. The cheaper stuff isn't even worth the money, while the more expensive stuff has the things you want. So pretty much, if you're cheap, you're screwed.
Finally the PS3. Can't say much about it because I don't know too much about it, yet. As far as I know is that they changed one of my favorite controllers for a gaming console into a weird shapped boomerang controller, looks dumb. People say that Sony is looking into making it so we can't play used or rented games. Oh what a smart idea Sony. Make it so we buy a bunch of 50 dollar games and then your piece of junk console breaks, and look we can't play our games no more. Plus it's probably going to be the most expensive.
Plus the PS3 won't even be able to use PSX or PS2 memory cards...so no saving! Screw Sony!
