Console Wars

We have 3 consoles out there waiting to be played and new comers emerging everyday trying to decide which one to buy... Microsoft and Sony have both given us price drops to entice new buyers while Nintendo has stuck with its price point. Looking at overall value the Xbox remains at the top of the list. With an impressive list of top titles, a large gaming community, Netflix content, and the Xbox arcade Microsoft has the best bang for the buck on the market. They are not without fault though. Xbox live is a scam at best, where you pay to play over the internet service you already pay for with games hosted on other consoles. So the fee is all profit with no benefit to the consumer... It would be different if Microsoft hosted its games on their own servers, but that is not that case. Scam or not Xbox offers a great product and great game play value. Wii comes second barely edging out PS3 due mostly to its online content as well, with its arcade featured games, reverse comparability with Gamecube, and it's not so gimmicky motion sensor tech Wii has a great deal to offer. Especially with it's new motion plus addition. Negatives with the wii are graphics power and price of additional accessories. PS3 it's expensive.. we all know that, it comes with a bluray player and supports 1080p games, and has an impressive 4 core one of a kind processor. What they don't tell you is that this proccessors makes it hard to make games for this system and leads publishers to optimize their games for the much more user friendly Xbox and then port it over to PS3. Yes the exclusive titles for PS are great they look great and mostly play great too. It will be interesting to see how their new motion tech will pan out. If you need a bluray player and like are hooked on their exclusives than this is the system for you. Make sure that your favorite exclusives are still PS only still as some major titles have been put off by the PS3's lack of success and its above mentioned development issues.

Good Luck
Buy happy
and Play hard
