I don't know... if Square-Enix sticks with the PS3, it'll may win in the long run. I think the 360 just had time over the PS3.
Doesn't matter how long its been out. The Wii came out last and its in first. >_>
yeah, it does matter which one came out first.
And why is that? If it mattered the 360 would be first not Wii. =/ Look at the sales figures. Wii is leading when it was the last released system. What matters is uniqueness which Wii and 360 offers. PS3 is..enhanced. Which is nice but it doesn't really add anything new. Blu-Ray hardly counts as new. Wii has channels, VC, Mii, and so much more. 360 has XBox Live and a gamertag to go with it and other things I've yet to touch. Those are what determines how well a system does.
Exactly! The 360 came out first, and thus, with a year's head start, it has more sales. The PS3 is now gaining a lot more popularity because it's been out for some time, and they have dropped the price. Both the Wii and Xbox 360 lack some of what the ps3 has.
No it has less sales actually compared to Wii. But yes, this is between 360 and PS3. But the reason the 360 maintains this lead over PS3 is due to the features. Tell me, what new features does it have? And I don't mean enhanced. I know the saying "don't fix what isn't broken" but you good at least add to it to make it better rather than just updating stuff. If you look at the menus for 360 and how detailed they are you'd be impressed. So much to do that you could spend hours on it.
I find that the 360 is essentially nothing more than a PC, and the PS3 is nothing more than a media center. I can see the 360 becoming second, but only because the Wii exists. The PS3 is much preferred by the Japanese over the 360, and if it weren't for the Wii the PS3 would be crushing the 360 there. That would lead to Capcom, Squeenix, Namco, etc. developing almost exclusively for the PS3. Also, I have not heard of PS3s crashing as often as 360's so it is definitely not a better piece of hardware.
I blame the crashings on the owners. If you handle it right, it'll be fine. If you mistreat it..yeah, it can break. =/ Its common sense. The 360 offers more than the PS3 does and that's the sole reason it still leads the PS3. If it didn't have those features, it'd matter not which was out first, the PS3 would bypass the 360 but it hasn't. over a year is long enough to catch up.
Both systems thrive upon third party support, the 360 American, and the PS3 Japanese. The Japanese developers are focusing on the Wii though, and the PS3 hasn't recieved any groundbreaking games. If next year's batch of games does not save the PS3, then nothing can, but the games are huge titles that will compel the "hardcore" players.
Don't get me wrong. I used to prefer Sony but the disappoint I felt with PSP and now PS3 just killed it for me. The PS3 used to be so dang expensive which I'm glad they fixed. And I remember how it used to be called a "grill" but 360 had a lot of problems as well. I just think it comes down to quality, which many people are agreeing the quality of 360 is better. Almost now rivaling that of the Wii. PS3 is getting to be good, I just think it needs to up its online status as these days online play is a huge factor on how well it sells.
Yeah, that's important as well. I think Sony will be smart enough to appease the problem and third parties will become more keen to the idea. I guess 2008 will be the deciding year for Playstation's fate.
Yeah. Only reason I don't care about online play is my wifi isn't working. Something happened and I can't connect to the internet on anything. But if the PS3 does improve online play then I could see it giving the 360 a run for its money. Just atm the 360 has better features. Though if when KH3 comes out they bundle that with the PS3 that'd sell many systems. This gen has undoubtfully been the most fierce competition ever between gaming companies. I may wind up with a PS3 in my possession sometime down the line if I see more games on it that interest me. I don't want to waste money on a system and only like 1 game on it.
I feel the same about the 360; at the moment, only Banjo-Threeie interests me for the system, and FF XIII, KHIII, and the Tales games compel me to buy a PS3. If KHIII comes out for the PS3 that is. >>
Wasn't KH3 confirmed for PS3? Oo; I thought I heard it was. But yeah, if I see a few more games that interest me I'll think about saving up for a PS3. Though won't be for a while. I got a lot to save up for 360 / Wii games. But yeah, at the rate PS3's going it'll get 3rd and Sony will need to work their asses off to get support for PS4.
Earlier this week, only Birth by Sleep was confirmed for the PSP, but there's been no word of the actual Kingdom Hearts III. And if Playstation fails next year, it may very well be for the Wii.
Unfortunately, if Sony doesn't pull it together next year and there's no revolutionary concept, there may not be a PS4 since Sony would have lost millions from the PS3. Nintendo's always made a profit on their systems, so they can stand a bad generation; not so for Microsoft and Sony.
Yeah, and if there would be a PS4 they need to really step it up a few notches. The PS3 is on a failing road and its almost to a dead end. I used to love sony's game systems but they disappointed me so much with PS3. I expected something good after PS2 and it didn't live up to expectations.

Does anyone here think that Kingdom Hearts will come to the Wii. Or will it just be for the ps3?
Like I said, it largely depends on the PS3's perfomance next year. If it's a flop even with Final Fantasy, there's no way that KHIII will be on it. Also, if 358/2 Days outsells Birth by Sleep by a huge factor, the chances for KHIII Wii increase. Of course, if they just put an Organization XIII spin off on the Wii, I'd be thrilled regardless. ^_^

Hmmm... might consider buying it if it was for the Wii
Have you played any of them?

No, I don't have the right system for any of em.
Oh. They're really good, the first one was the best. Although some people obsess over those games and it scares me.
What systems do you have? I have n64, ps2, and wii.

DS, GBA, Wii, GC, and soon to be 360... and I think thats about it, I sold my N64 (though I kinda want it back now)
lol, a lot of people who sell their n64 want it back now.

Yeah, lucky for me though, I can just buy a Wii points card and buy 2 N64 games for about $10 each. (Now they are only a few dollars, but back in the day it was $40 0_o)

Even the GameCube was superior to the PS2's hardware, but it had way more good games than the GCN and XBOX combined. In the end, it (should be) the games that matter, and that's the 360 advantage at the moment.

Like I said, it largely depends on the PS3's perfomance next year. If it's a flop even with Final Fantasy, there's no way that KHIII will be on it. Also, if 358/2 Days outsells Birth by Sleep by a huge factor, the chances for KHIII Wii increase. Of course, if they just put an Organization XIII spin off on the Wii, I'd be thrilled regardless. ^_^
meh, I don't like spin offs. Whats 368/2 Days.
It's the KH game for DS where you follow Roxas's story and use Organization members. All 3 confirmed games so far are spinoffs of sorts. (Birth by Sleep is actually a prequel, but no Sora == spinoff in my book)

Of course, if they just put an Organization XIII spin off on the Wii, I'd be thrilled regardless. ^_^

Isn't kingdom hearts for nex gen only coming to PSP, DS and the cell phones?
Square Enix confirmed 3 games for those systems.
None of those are actually Kingdom Hearts Next-Gen, and are all spinoffs of the current series. KHIII has been confirmed, but its system hasn't.
