XBox 360 or PS3?!

[Blaze]

I am interested in the new nintendo system, I hear it can play all the old games from Nes to Gamecube.

[R.a.B.B.i.T]

Do you know how rediculously BIG it would have to be to have all of those supported?  It would be at least as big as XBox!

[Blaze]

With your logic, a proccessor would have to be 5 times the size to be 5 times as fast.

I've read that the Nintendo Revolution's graphics won't be as good as PS3's or Xbox 360's. But to get a little bit of an edge on some aspect, they're going to have a free online gameplay service, and best of all, let you download games from previous Nintendo consoles. From Nes all the way up to GameCube, you can download thousands of games for FREE.   

I think I'll end up getting a Playstation 3 and a Nintendo Revolution.

Same here. As long as halo2 works on xbox1 it will be fine for me.

[R.a.B.B.i.T]

With your logic, a proccessor would have to be 5 times the size to be 5 times as fast.

No, my logic states that 5 different processors will be 5 times bigger than 1 processor.  Every Nintendo console to date has used a different cartridge system (except GCN, which uses TADs).

[Meh]

I will definatley get a PS3 as the graphics are suposingley cinematic. I will also probabley get an xbox aswell. Ill see closer to christmas. Im not to sure about a Revolution though. I havnt been a fan of a nintendo since I realised Pokemon was a waste of tie.

[R.a.B.B.i.T]

I prefer PS2 over XBox, but you can't really compare a console to a handheld, it just doesn't really work.

Also, a note for the Network Controller option for PS3: that means PSP

[NicoQwertyu]

I would rather get Xbox 360 for the simple reason that I never touch either versions of the playstations I wasted my money on.  I support Xbox as one of the few things Microsoft did right.   

[cefx-]

Xbox's gpu is more powerful (more ram at nice clock speeds.) however the psu computing power and hard drive storage is superior.  as well, dual hd ports is great.  Why 'seven' controllers?

Anyways..my choice is PS3...I've played with my friends psp a bunch and it rocks.  The PS3 will have a shitload of sweet games.  Xbox will have gears of war though....killzone 2, if its preview is truly ingame reality, will make the ps3 my purchase.
gears of war && xbox360 if killzone 2 does not show up to expectations.
