a war worth bein' in

maybe i jumped into conclusionsbit too early.

after a talk to my girlfriend, a read of an internet article titled “playstation three vs. xbox three-sixt" (link), and a read of an article in tuesday’s newspaper i have come to a sorta different view to the situation.
but no, i still havent changed my mind of gettin a playstation three.

what made sense was that in my belief, i truly reckon that the xbox three-sixty is the dominant between the playstation three and the three-sixty. with online, the exclusives, and price the xbox three-sixty, i feel like the xbox three-sixty is one worth its weight in the gaming war at this moment... but... the playstation three’s capabilities and the size of blu-ray, its possible that the playstation three is the eventual winner of the two.
with both consoles with the current situation, the xbox three-sixty has a steady lead but if the xbox three-sixty continues with this for the next few years then the playstation three will catch up and be the one to get. the xbox three-sixty had a whole year in front of the playstation three, this head start got developers to start early with next-gen games. for that, the titles racked up for the three-sixty. plus the fact that the xbox three-sixty uses a dvd format (im not sure if its regular dvd or hd dvd) for their games, developers are still makin’ games within their comfort zone. the playstation three’s games are on blu-ray format. the technology is more advanced than a normal dvd. so you could see that developers would rather use what theyve got now rather than spend more to get the technology to make games on blu-ray. somethin’ like that.
but its inevitable that more and more developers would choose to use blu-ray, due to its size of a disk. everyone would rather one disk rather than four. just one of the reasons that playstation has a better future than the xbox three-sixty.

but this now, and what is now is the xbox three-sixty.
ive got plenty of time before the playstation three surpasses the three-sixty. and when that time comes, then i will get a playstation three. so no, i aint anti-playstation three, but still prefer the xbox three-sixty... im just waitin for playstation threes prime. that, and to release more games (more notability, final fantasy versus thirteen).

so what about the wii? over the last few posts, ive explained my views on the xbox three-sixty versus the playstation three and the playstation portable versus and the nintendo ds... so where does the wii come into all this? for me, i view the wii out of the gaming war between the xbox three-sixty and playstation three. this is because the wii is a league of its own. this is why the wii is sellin more than the playstation three and the xbox three-sixty combined.
i want to note that as my first console bein’ the sega md. my gamin’ life started me as a sega fanboy in the gaming war between the mega drive and super nintendo. so yes, i am anti-nintendo. so bein’ anti-nintendo, ive only grown to love the gameboy advance, the gamecube (when the console died not too long ago), and the super nintendo. the wii and ds on the other hand, they offer somethin’ different other than a cheaper alternative. the unusual gameplay has led to an intriguing title line up. with sega bein’ a third party game developer, we see sonic along side mario in olymipics and brawl. shit like that, has made lessen the blow to my anti-nintendoism. i would consider myself anti-nintendo to a lesser degree, but the approaches that nintendo always makes will still always make me consider xbox (three-sixty) and playstation (three and psp) over nintendo (wii and ds).

for gaming collection purposes, my aim to own every single current gaming console and handheld by end of the year. which brings me to...
i was bored the other day, and y’know when you sit in front of the google homepage contemplating what to search? i had a good ol’ sit in the front of the screen for ages. what eventually came to mind was the amount of final fantasy i own. i admit my collection isnnt the greatest final fantasy collections, but i wanted to see other people’s collections to see how far off am i. so i searched somethin likelargest final fantasy collection”, i dunno i cant remember. and in google images, it came up with a photo of someones collection of final fantasies. this as it is, was pretty impressive amount. headin’ into that site in where the image originated, i found out it was apart of an interview. the interview wasnt of a famous person but of a game collector. after readin’ the whole post, i released i was in a game collectors union, or to be exact the “candid collectors union” in the gamespot website (or “ccu” for short).
for some reason, it made me really want to collect more games. i think this was the day i posted the rare games (“rareness” on july fifteen). but anywayz, i counted my games and found out that i haveround ninty-five xbox three-sixty, wii, original xbox, gamecube, playstation two, playstation portable and nintendo ds games combined. i have around ten gameboy advance games, five playstation one games, one super nintendo game, and thirty-two sega mega drive games (md games all with its original cases and most with manuals). i feel like, by the end of the year, i could have a whole lot more, which would contain triple the amount of three sixty games and a couple of more titles for the playstation three, wii, and psp. by then i can finally take a picture of my collection and send it to ccu.
hardcore.

one thing to note, check out the current music. no rnb or hip hop. damn.

video games im currently playin’: smackdown vs raw 08 featuring ecw (xbox three-sixty) and guitar hero three: legends of rock (xbox three-sixty)
tunes im currently listenin’: lost prophets’ “rooftops” and metro station’s “shake it”
tv shows currently watchin’: sonic x
eye candy of the moment: kate beckinsale and torrie wilson

awesome layout =D

omgsh. i LOVE gaming rants XD

ugh poor SONY & the PS3. Slaughter after slaughter. I used to laugh at the XBox 360 because they rushed so much to release it that their first console models used to smoke and go on fire or the memory card thing simply wouldnt work, however it is doing far better that the PS3 is, clearly. On top of that, the PS3 its exclusive games from Square Enix (namely Final Fantasy XIII) as well as the rumored new Resident Evil. Oh boy, by the time E3 ends, Microsoft and Nintendo must be giggling from joy at the whole PS3 upset. The only things really worth getting the PS3 would probably be Creed's Assasain and Heavenly Sword. Albeit FFXIII would look more fantastic on the whole BluRay experience.

And dont get me started on how i really dont like the PSP. Again FF: Crisis Core is the only reason i would get one lol.

Despite my badgering of SONY, i'm still in love with my PS2. It may be ancient to others, but its a classic master to me =) Although my DS and GBA SP make me happy too haha.

the Wii if PHENOMONAL however im too poor to get one haha. ive played it at friend's houses and my sister's and bro-in-law's to play Brawl, Mario Cart, & Mario Party. Wonderful sequels/remakes =)

well take care, sorry for the long comment! im subscribing to you haha. ja ne~

i agree with what you said up top, 360 got a head start and ps3 doesn't have any games worth going crazy over...yet. once ff 13 comes out, i know ill be line for one. i havent been up to date on the games the ps3 will be getting so im not sure how much better off sony will be over microsoft, but i think sony in the end will pull through.

the only reason i got a psp was for silent hill origins. then crisis core came out. :)))

nintendo will always do well in my opinion, their games are more for 2 or more players so more interaction and enjoyment. if you want a serious game, sony and microsoft will give it to you, but if you just want a fun, interactive game, nintendo will always get you one.

but the thing i dunno 'bout, is that psp is a piece of shit? i dunno, if done properly, it can be playstation two worthy games on this machines (not graphical wise). crisis core is how a true psp game should be done. and E3, sony did get the rough end out of the three. but it shows improvement none-the-less.

gameboy advance player still? wow, i thought everyone got over that 'cept for me.

@stoneyrocks_socks - valid point, prolly why bought a second three-sixty, a wii, and a final fantasy psp for my birthday. heheh.
but silent hill was that good? might have a look at it then.

but yeah, with the wii... because of that reason is why i think there are more and more kid and girl gamers hittin' upon the wii. reason why im embarassed 'bout my ds.
