REVOLUTION vs. PS3

GameMaster · 05-17-2005, 01:13 PM

This poll HAS to be posted. The votes are in and gamers have decided that they would rather have a PS3 than an Xbox 360. No surprise, easy win.

However, this morning at 9:00 A.M., the slumbering PS3 was awoken by the mighty revealing of THE REVOLUTION.

Gamers across the world instantly hailed it as the BEST design and SLEEKEST package without any question.

And we haven't even seen its graphics yet!!!!!!

Now comes the moment of truth!

Which console will take the system throne in your living room?

PS3 or KING Revolution?

I agree, it's the best looking system... but it's not so much good looking that it will take away from PS3's graphical capacity....

I was set on the PS3 from the start, but seeing the Press Conference has only carved my feelings into stone. PS3 will sit on my Entertainment Center throne, this 2006.

It almost seems like you guys are jumping to conclusions just over the Rev's design.....

its a funny thing about looks. Size will usually be the main factor in how good the console looks.

If they were All the EXACT same size, but thier own shapes. Xbox360 might actually look best. and nintendos design, being a giant block wouldnt look good. However as it is, its not a giant block, its a very small block, and that makes it look better.

i dont like it setting in its little tray standing up on an angle. but i do like the small flat shape of it. it does look good.

As of right now. i really dont want to spend a ton of money next gen, i only plan on getting 1 console. its looking like its going to be PS3 at this point, but we still got a while to go till i have to make that decision final.

Ah yes. The graphical capacity that blows away Nintendo's released Revolutions specs and videos. I admit, you're right.

How in God's name anyone could vote for the Revolution when they haven't seen ANYTHING for it, is beyond me. If you're saying that a picture of a black box is better than the PS3's entire showing, you are crazy.

It said pick a system that you will buy. Based on what I've seen and heard, Revolution excites me more. Sure, PS3 packs a powerful punch, and is a great looking system, but it still is lacking any excitement in my mind.

The Revolution sounds great to me. Downloading NES, SNES, and N64 games? Awesome. Plays all my Cube games? Awesome. Online Smash Bros at launch, plus a brand new Miyamoto game? Awesome. The unknown REVOLUTION itself? Can't wait to find out about it.

That's how people could pick Revolution.

Revolution of course. The console looks awesome, as does the controller, backward compatibility with all consoles (including PS2 and (BOX), and in game screen shots.

Ok, lets see how fast I get questioned about my desicion on this one. My vote went with the Revolution. Let me explain why... It's Nintendo 'nuff said!

Just kidding people. For starters, NES - N64 Downloadable. Wow, I mean, that is just awesome. When I learned about that, right there just caught my attention. True, PS3 will be able to play games from 1993, if you have those games anymore. Nintendo inables you to play the games that you grew up with, even if you don't own them any more. They consider the fact that most people don't save their games (or they end up getting lost). Or maybe you missed out on some awesome classic titles during the past generations. This should be great news if your an RPG fan, because of the SNES era. I wasn't that huge of a fan of RPGs during that time of my life. But the sad thing is, when I got my Dreamcast I picked up the Smashpack Disc. I really did enjoy the old school RPGs. I won't mind DL a couple of the early FF games. Not a fan of Square what so ever right now, but who knows, maybe after I play the earlier FF, I might just end up wanting to play more of them. Ontop of that, I've been dying to play some Resident Evil 2. It was stolen during my move from the US to Europe. And I can't find a N64 version (LOL at getting the GC version) anywhere around here in Idaho. And I know if I just go on Ebay I can find anything, but I'm that type of shopper that if I buy something, I want it RIGHT NOW! Not wait until it gets sent to me. I just think that that idea right there is better then any BC system that any system has come out with EVER!. Talking about making up for lost time. Enough of the whole Nintendo Past Time Thing.

As for as Graphical Power. Everybody is claiming the PS3 a beast. OK, no disagreement. But Nintendo has never disappointed me when it comes to graphics on their consoles. Unless you count the VB... since I never owned it, I don't even think about it. So I don't think that Nintendo is going to be any different this generation. As for the PS3 being 35x MORE POWERFUL! Sony is awesome when it comes to PR and Nintendo isn't. Heck, back in the PS days, Sony had some how convienced that the PS had better graphics the the N64 did. Nintendo just doesn't know how to hype up their graphics in their machines. Never have. Doesn't mean that it won't have some really pretty games on their machine. Sony is just better with the general public, (and we all know this) if it wasn't for them Video Games wouldn't be as popular as it is today. Nintendo doesn't know how to handle the press at all. They had a chance to brag a little to USA Today, and all they said was that it was 2x - 3x more powerful then the GameCube. Yeah, that has already been beaten to death around the internet. I think that the Rev will be on par with the other two systems. Unless somebody shows a screen shot of Excitebike for the NES claiming that is the graphical power for the Rev... oh, how I see this one coming.

Now for the games coming out. A lot of people seemed to be pumped for SSB Online. Doesn't intrest me. But Metroid and Zelda do. I don't care how old they are. I still love those names, and I love what they do for me in the gaming world. EA is going to support all systems, so takes care of my Madden Fix and the EA Big Titles. And for the future, I don't buy games every two weeks, so I don't need to have the latest and greatest. I usually wait about every 4 or 5 months to get new games anyway. So Nintendo's drought just doesn't bother me. And being the cheapo I am, I'm usually going through the Bargin Bins first before I even go and look at new games. Stupid Money runs the world.
