I never claimed for it to be a score of things, just showing how much have been sold. Also, the PS3 one rarely moves.

From what I hear Nextgenwars isnt a very reliable site when it comes to tracking numbers.

(ps3 is not selling that much, not really because of that price, but because sony is not producing them fast enough. mostly because of the blu ray thingy that take time to make)
Hey guess what people?
I just typed this massege using my Wii remote.
It's an ok browser but I can't make it to watch youtube videos.
Youtube video are in flash no?
if so, then its normal, Opera on wii seems to only support Flash 7.

1) Yes opera channel plays youtube......I just tested it out today. Too bad it doesnt support flash 9 though
2) check out www.woot.com (also read the description, its funny)

So... have you guys all finished Twilight Princess ages ago? I've just finished the 3rd dungeon, sooo good. I have to say this game is giving OoT a run for its money.
I like the idea of the web browser and I've had a play around with it, but it's kind of pointless seeing there's two PCs about a metre away. Good system though.
I think I know precisely what I mean
when I say it's a schpadoinkle day
I need some help with choosing a console. I'm currently shifting between the 360 and the PS3. Wii is not really an option since Rock Band won't come out on that system, and also I have a DS and the Wii feels like the same thing just bigger.
I don't care about the price, since a console is a long time investment.
I hear people saying that there are no good games for the PS3, which is true... but the same is true for the 360. I don't like FPSs and Sports, and there are like no other types of games on the 360.
I would like to hear about the PS online thing. I've tried xb live and it's quite solid, but it costs as opposed to psonline being free.
Also from what I've read it seems like the PS3 has much better connection capabilities. The 360 doesn't even have HDMI right?
The feeling I have so far is that it isn't worth buying any of the systems yet.
I don't have a PS3, I've never played on one, so I'm clearly biased with my 360. Please take that into account in this post. Someone with a PS3 can make a case for that, I'm not qualified to criticize it appropriately.
Xbox Live Arcade is a great way to build up a library of cheap (average 400 points) games. There's a huge variety too. Board games (Catan), Shooters (Alien Hominid HD, Assault Heroes), rhythm games (Boom Boom Rocket), Puzzle games, and even full games from past generations (Mortal Kombat, Castlevania: SoTN though they do cost more). I've got a lot more XBLA games than I do actual discs.
The rentals and TV shows that come in HD are nice (I never waste money on them though because I don't have an HDTV). Xbox Live is currently one of the few, if only, online distributor of HD content. They have anime too (dubbed, but still).
The genres of games on disc is expanding rapidly. The first game I got with it was Tomb Raider Legend. Short game, but certainly the best Tomb Raider game I've played since 2. MS has also realized their library was a little too centered to the American audience with 1st and 3rd Person shooters, so they've started getting into the j-rpg market with Eternal Sonata, and a few other quirky games, like Katamari.
The demos are probably the best part of XBL. They'll put out a few demos of some anticipated titles, and they're usually about 30 minutes of gameplay. It's a pretty good way to gauge whether you want a title. It's the reason I made sure I bought Bioshock, pre-ordered Eternal Sonata, and decided that 99 Nights was garbage from the poor gameplay and worse localization.
There are downsides to the 360.
There are all the hardware issues. The 360 must be properly ventilated, with plenty of space for airflow around the vents and sides. The ring of death comes from people stuffing the thing into entertainment centers. Not everyone has these problems. I'm still on my first, and it sits next to my tv on a hard surface, well off the ground. Never tilt the console while it's on (why I'm on my second copy of Dreamfall).
The peripherals are not cheap. The controllers are pretty standard cost, and the battery life is great. It's the other things that kill you. If you buy a lot of the HD media (and never delete demos) you'll need a bigger hard drive. The 120 is worth it if you do (my friend got one), but it's very overpriced. The wireless adapter isn't cheap either. Mine works great, but at $100, it's expensive.
Several features don't work outside the US. I'm not sure which, but the digital media is the big one. That's due to asshole licensing laws from the Unites States.
The demos are indeed a pleasant feature, but psn has that to I think. If anyone has a ps3 please share how psn works.
The 360 elite is still cheaper than a ps3 so that would solve most of the problems you've mentioned right?
I've read some e3 coverage and such, and I would say that upcoming games for both ps3 and 360 are equally good, but I've been a long time follower of the ps exclusive franchises like ff and mgs.
........lol?

As Assertn said in so fewer words, that's fairly uninformed.
I recently got Metroid Prime 3, and I also have Bioshock for the 360. The amount of immersion provided by the atmosphere in Bioshock is impressive (even more with 5.1 sound), but it cannot even compare to the level of immersion you get from the wiimote and nunchuck.
