I disagree, the controller adds a new sense of fun to games that usually were all the same (Madden).  Also Nintendo has taken into account that not all games will utilize the controller as a major part of the game and it includes various add-ons that will help said games.

hopefully........ i think they came out yesterday in the US. or maybe today....... i was watching tv the other day and i think the wii has 4 different controllers
the nunchuka, the remote, the classic controller, and the gun add on..... it was a video of a camera looking at these stands and those are all that i saw
the nunchaka is the joystick, the romete (also called wiimote) is a remote thing and it comes bundled with the nunchaka in a wii pack usually.
and the classic is a controller that is like other console controllers. and the gun.... well it looks like a gun so we just call it a gun. i dont really know how that works yet but i am planning to find out

Since my last post 4 hours ago:
This is how many consoles have been sold.

360: 7912

Wii: 3139
Title: which next generation system do you want to get your hands on?
Post by: Allanon on November 27, 2006, 07:51:33 PM
I think the 360 is selling more right now because more are available, and I think that the PS3 is selling the least because it sucks.

Im a totally xbox 360 fan
they just make the best game,
and cant w8 till Halo 3 commes out

i think ps3 is the same as xbox 360
only with other games, and its a bigger console

and the Wii has the best controller
and a cool Zelda game, tp

ok ok i know im a final fantasy freak, but i still chose for xbox 360 in stead of ps3 /tongue.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\':P\' />

The 360:  9,784,710

The Wii:  3,654,359

The PS3:  1,063,984

I don't know how accurate those are to which one is the best because the 360 has been out for over a year now and the Wii a little bit over a month or two...

No... no its not... Just look at Gears of War, a great game with amazing graphics... For the 360.  Look at what the 360 can do with graphics (you know... since thats all the PS3 has).  The differences between the two consoles are minute and the 360 already has a larger install base and good line up of games on the way.

Lets talk about some other stuff.  The PS3 doesn't have rumble, the Wii and the 360 do, the PS3 has a barely functional motion sensitivity feature in their controllers, The Wii has a fluid easy to use controller thats highly innovative and fun at the same time.

The PS3 is a disaster, the launch games are terrible and its not fully backwards compatible.   I don't think that the console is worth $200 let alone the whooping $600 price tag that they put on it.

You may be saying right now, "well what about the bluray player?" I don't care about the bluray player, bluray and hd dvd are kinda like the playstation 3 and the 360, very small differences but one is more expensive.

My personal favorite is the Wii, because it is fun and brings the gamers more into the game.  But in terms of conventional gaming, the 360 is nearly perfect, in terms of graphics, installed base and functionability, the 360 is already well ahead of the PS3, and will stay that way.

Obviously the PS3 was overhyped in its release and now is basically in stock.  They had a couple in at Best Buy the other day, I didn't pick one up or even consider it, why? Because it just isn't worth the $600 you have to dish out for it.

The sooner that Sony stops trying to convince people to develop for the console and just starts over on it, the better.  Not only that but Sony should APOLOGIZE for the PS3 and promise a quality console in the future, it would be worth it for a console that doesn't suck...

Where's the option for "All three."

Or more appropriate for my situation, "Already have all three."

Haven't gamed on the PS3 yet, but it works fine as a Blu-Ray player.

My rig really isn't the best to test that out on.  I have an old-school rear-projection TV.  Can't even use HDMI as apparently the DVI port doesn't have HDCP, argh!  It'd work with my projector, but it's only EDTV (SD content looks sweet on it though, much better than SD looks on my HD TV).  Besides all that, I don't have any movies both on Blu-Ray and HD-DVD, which is really the only way to compare the two.
