It is the game developers who make the games, not Sony or Microsoft. At the moment there aren't really any games to interest me for the 360 so getting it would be pointless.

The PS3 hasn't really penetrated the East yet so I can't really talk about that but I feel that the 360 hasn't really penetrated the East yet, at least not like it has done so in the West.

What about Gears of War, Halo 3 and Shadowrun/Huxley (these 2 can compete against PC! Woo!)? And also, read several reviews on the internet, people favored X360 more than PS3...

I don't think I know anyone who owns a 360 and some of my friends don't even know it's out already. The Wii is actually pretty novel with its controller concept but most of the games on it so far seem to be group/party games like that tennis game I saw in the ads. PS3 has the potential to regain its market share when the big guns aka FFXIII/MGS4 are released and Sony cleans up all the glitches and bugs for the future PS3 versions.

God, I would get a Wii just for that game alone. I wouldn’t mind if they kept whoring out mario and zelda games as long as they’re good, lol. . such as Twilight Princess is.

In any case, I don't really support Microsoft because, the games on the XBox360 seem to be really similar, and there aren't that many RPG games on the console too. Anyways, it seems like the 360 is geared more to the action, sports and fighting genre. All of which I am not really interested in, except maybe action. The wii? Well, its no more than buying a PS2 or XBox console with motion sensors built into them. But if Nintendo would stop whoring the crap outta their entire franchise of Mario, Pokemon, Zelda, etc... and make games like they used to on the SNES or N64, it might stand a chance. Come on Nintendo! Make more games like Orcarina of Time! Anyways, yeah, like I said... Getting the PS3. And my dad bought a HDTV so woooo! :D Will be getting a PS3, along with either MGS4 or FFXIII, depending on which is released earlier.

Past history with the PS2 would indicate the initial batches of the PS3 are bound to have hardware problems and firmware issues. Also all the launch titles for the PS3 are pretty dull and the good ones like MGS4 and FFXIII only come out late next year. So I'm guessing majority of the people who bought the PS3 on launch were those hoping to make big bucks by reselling them on Ebay or something similar. But they shot themselves in the foot because everyone is doing that too and now the resale PS3 market is completely flooded with offers until I've seen PS3 auctioners having to sell at a loss. How stupid. Yeah I don’t know why so many people rushed to buy the PS3 on launch.

I graduated from Nintendo when I bought a PS2 (although the Nintendo's consoles are always fun!) and will thus hold out for a future release of the PS3 when all the bugs in the first batch are fixed ^^ (And the prices hopefully drops, too...)

Aside from that, save your money now since the PS2 still has about a year left with plenty of great games to come.

Is that your collection? Or is it like what it says? For me, I'm only planning on buying a Wii. A PS3 might come in 2 or 3 years time when it's cheaper and the selection of game becomes huge. I'm tempted to get the 360 now, but there's really no killer software that I want to play. Woooooooooow that’s huge. Is that your collection? Or is it like what it says?
