Playstation 3, Xbox 360, or Nintendo Wii? [9] - Page 5

I think the PS3 is just a Blu-Ray Player with a mediocre console around it

So it'd be between the XBOX 360 and the Wii...

PS3's frame rate is horrible. Sure it's a titan, but it's titanically slow, it's unoriginally designed (PSP menu layout, Spiderman font), there're hardly any games of interest on it, and (of course), it's deviously overpriced.
Sony would've done a lot better just buffing up the PS2.

The Wii, well, sure the motion sensor thing is awesome, but it gets old after a while. I'm a lot more comfortable when just sitting there with my controller in my hand, not having to wave it around every once in a while.

Although I don't personally own one, I adore the 360 because the graphics are awesome, the X-Box Live allows me to talk to and play with my friends that're on the other side of the country, and it's pretty cheap to boot. Plus, there're all kinds of games on it. Now if only they'd boost their RPG franchise...

I would go for the Wii because it suits me, I am hooked on Zelda and Smash, can't turn down a Mario, and I really like the concept of the Wii's motion sensor and classic games. (Besides that, NiGHTS, Soul Calibur Legends, Orb, Thorn, Midnight, No More Hereos, Trauma Center: Second Opinion, etc. all look interesting and have lots of potential as regards my tastes, none of them are out here yet though.)

Besides it is cheaper, which is good to me. (By the way PS3 fanboys, remember the PS3 may be a loss to Sony and the Nintendo Wii might be a profit to Nintendo, but I ask you, which takes more from my pocket.)

That's due to something called developer laziness. Ninja Gaiden Sigma and Lair both run at 1080p at 60 frames per second.

Ummm, no. Read the above.

it's unoriginally designed (PSP menu layout, Spiderman font),

The CROSS MEDIA BAR is not a PSP thing, it's a PSX thing. The PSX was a multimedia powerhouse that came out after the PS2.
The Spiderman font is owned by Sony.

there're hardly any games of interest on it,

Lair, MGS4, Final Fantasy 13, Final Fantasy Versus 13, Killzone 2, Warhawk, Heavenly Sword, Motorstorm, Gran Turismo, and Resistance.

Yeah, I'm sorry, you're right. Hardly any games of interest.

It's $250 underpriced actually, and no they wouldn't have.

I'm going to say xbox 360 because the Playstation 3 costs too much money... and the Wii requires me to move around...

The Playstation 3 kicks ass.

Dude, the PS3 does have a framerate problem. Many of the PS3 counterparts of 360/PS3 games tend to have a much lower framerate. For example, The Darkness. Oh, and this 1UP Article shows that the PS3 has problems at keeping a steady 60fps in its games.
