Revolution. I've sworn off of Sony for the forseeable future after their DRM rootkit BS, and I don't need an XBox when I already have a computer.
I don't know which will dominate the market. It'll be interesting to see who wins this generation.

I will be purchasing a PS3 simply because Sony so far has come up with the brilliant idea of backwards compatability, something which Nintendo has a tough time understanding.

maybe if u keep up w/ the news lately, backwards compatability is now greatly questionable for PS3, not to mention that anti-used game thingie
Isn't the revolution supposed to have backcompat with the Cube? I thought it was, 'cuz I remember thinking Nintendo realized they dropped the ball on that one.

I've actually also sworn of Sony for much the same reasoning, although it goes a little deeper. I'd never buy anything Microsoft, so there goes the XBox.
Revolution looks pretty good, so I suppose that's what I'm getting. Nintendo has served me well over the years (or should I say I've served them lolol).

Nintendo - Still discussing the whole downloadable games from NES to the N64, and there are confirmed ports in the back (possibly front?) of the console allowing for up to 4 GCN controllers. Rev controller looks interesting, could possibly be another gimmick...but I bought the DS and enjoy it so far.
Sony - I heard somewhere that full backwards compatability was included at launch and had been confirmed. Controller: Haven't tested it yet, looks like it's simply a more stylized PS2 controller. If it's made with the PSP buttons and Dualshock sticks, that'll suck.
XBox (accurately named XBrick) - rumors of MS discontinuing XBox games and moving directly to the 360 have been mentioned. Backwards compatability will only be available for some games (think: Xbox Greatest Hits), and you're screwed otherwise. Controller: Tested it at a local retailer today, it's VERY UNCOMFORTABLE. The shoulder buttons require a lot of index-finger stretching, the stick is oddly placed, it's just an uncomfortable layout.
I'm buying PS3, possibly Revolution if it has a bunch of interesting games on it, and I could download Mario Paint, Mischief Makers, and a few others. PS3 looks like the top contender based on that.

sorry anon. #8, PS3 back.com. is officially not confirmed and practically unknowable.
i later read somewhere that it fails alot of PS2 games, but can't remember where
I have a quesiton, if both X360 and PS3 run on linus, and with keyboard and stuff for them, does that mean they can run word processing program like MS word??
Can they? Yes. Will they? Not with DRM, they won't. I especially like the branch of "Trusted Computing" that bricks hardware which has violated the DRM. That's cool. Does anyone know if that exists in any commercial hardware, yet?

I'm a bit of an XBOX fanboy, myself.
Was really looking foward to the 360, but now I'm starting to have second thoughts. Might pass the 360 completely, and buy a PS3 once the price goes down a little (assuming it is indeed $300+, I'm a bit in the dark regarding console pricing). Not really interested in the Revolution at all.
To be honest, neither the 360 nor the PS3 are very impressive in my eyes (plus I'm still pissed off that my brand new, first run PS2 died after barely a year), but I'll need to buy one or the other if I want to stay up to date with console games.
The death of your PS2 after such a short period is pretty much par for the course when it comes to Sony. Don't expect more than a year or two out of your PS3, either.
what in x360 disappoint you? i rly want to know. on the contrary i want to support PS3 but x360 sounds so much better w/ all the crap that comes with it. and my biggest concern is if PS3 is really giving such a hard time to programmers, is it logical to worry about the # of games that come out?

Not disappointed with it per se (I'll reserve definite judgement until I've actually managed to demo one), just some general feelings of apprehension based on their marketing and shtuff... But on the other hand, I'm not really interested in LOL SUPAR ROBAWT WARZ and similar games, so I probabably won't miss out on much by getting the X360 over the PS3.
As for the death of my PS2... Main reason I'm still bitter about that is shortly before it died I lost my job, and couldn't afford the one hundred dollars it would've required to get it repaired.
At any rate, it'll be quite some time before I purchase either console (neither of them have anything particularly eye catching in their lists of launch titles, in my opinion), so by the time I actually get around to it I'll hopefully be able to make a semi-informed decision and won't regret my purchase.

I find it amazing how people can still not know everything about the consoles and yet form opinions on which they will get (>>4,>>8). Rev is fully backwards compatible with GCN, and will also download games from N64, SNES, and NES. More backwards compatible than PS3. Also, Rev's GCN controller ports are on top of the system - see pictures of it at IGN or somewhere.

I never buy consoles, but if I did, it'd be a Revolution.
I don't care about zoomj faster graphics; it's the same shit, and I find it all boring. That controller that Nintendo is making is an entirely different story, however.
Whether developers use it is another question.

PS3 is out of the question. It's just not worth it. If I ever want a more conventional gaming console, the 360 will work just fine, but I think I will stick with the Revolution for its whole hundreds of games by launch thing.

If I would get one, it would probably do a PS3. I every single person here would disagree with me, but the 360 and Revolution don't interest me.

I don't mean to second guess your opinion, but the reason we disagree is not because of dislike for the Sony brandname (at least for me), but because of features, such as the anti-used game feature.

And BTW, Revolution will be my favourite, followed closely by X-Box 360, but they are all good consoles. The only bad thing about PlayStation is usually shit-loads of 'tarded games are let through the big net. Same with any console you could say, but with PS, it seems to be a magnified problem.

Sir Howard said the PS3 will sell for $300 to $400 and
will come with a bundle of games, movies, and TV shows, many of which Sony also makes.
The question is whether the titles will be bundled on Blu-ray DVD discs or on a built-in hard drive

Awesome. So you already know which system you'll like best? I made that mistake twice (first with the N64 - I'd later learn that I <3'd the PSX much more, and later with the PS2. Got me an XBOX and never looked back), and don't plan on making it again.

Let's see.
XBox 360: I got it and regret it none. The interface is comfortable and the games are great for Launch Titles. Plus the controller's awesome. Power supply's huge though, but I can deal.
Revolution: Oh yes. I must get this. The controller may be teh remotz lol, but I still see great capability with it and Nintendo has yet to truly disappoint me. Plus, backwards compatibility for the win.
PS3: Not really sure, but I know that 500 dollars is a nono for now and the controller looks uncomfortable. Besides that, I don't have enough information to form an opinion.

People with too much money do.
And if you're dumb enough to think it's less good for gaming because it's less powerful, then I seriously don't want you to buy it, what with the online functions.
We don't even know what type of video chipset it runs off of, but I'm sure we'll see in time. Also, there's supposedly one more secret about this controller, according to Miyamoto. Ah, tingly sensation! I hope it's really something special. :)

Its good if you want to play last generations games, which I do. On the original consoles. I don't need nintendo telling me I don't need advanced stuff because their old stuff should be good enough for me. Theres a time and a place for classic games, and it ain't with new consoles. There is more than one type of fun, like the type that comes with being able to have a 64 player, super immersive, true to life battle. Or with playing a high speed racing game with great crashes, fantastic gameplay and realistic physics. To be honest, I prefer 2D fighers, shmups and music games the most out of all games. Doesn't mean that I shouldn't have the option to play amazingly technically advanced games too as well as having an all in one media center. The Xbox 360 and the PS3 I'm sure will have many classic style games, I don't want limits set on me by Nintendo.
Also, if you don't want people who think this to buy it then you are wishing a great death on nintendo, as the only people who refuse to see the logic of what I said are just rabid Nintendofags who can't see past Miyamotos cock.
Besides, I would bet my lifes savings and everything I own upon the PS3 completely TROUNCING the "Revolution". Even if it was technically better (which it isn't), Nintendo's name is shit with anyone who isn't nintendo's bitch. (Yes, of course the only place where the Revolution will sell more than the 360 is in Japan...)
But, please tell me how the "Revolution" will win out and bankrupt sony and microsoft, and pull back. :) I eagerly await.
Obviously Sony and Microsoft have a foothold on the more casual side of gaming. Nintendo is therefore aiming for a different market: those not sold on gaming.
A common complaint with those who haven't been playing video games for years on end is that controllers are too confusing, with too many buttons and no easy way to get accustomed to it. This controller is noticeably more simple, lessening the buttons and probably making it easier for anyone to get into it.
Nintendo have made every innovation in controllers for just about every feature: shoulder buttons, trigger buttons, rumble, analog stick, wireless, hell, even the d-pad. Gamecube shaped up to be a transition to revolution: the bigger A button emphasized a shift towards simpler play control (though it made many games harder to play), where more things could be done with less buttons. This transition leads to Revolution where potentially everything lies in a lesser amount of buttons, relying more on actions and other methods of control.
Also concerning graphics, the Revolution's technology has not been solidified yet, and its abilities are not yet fully shown. It's not the paint you use to make a painting, it's how you use it.
An all-in-one media center is nice, but I would prefer to purchase DVD players and such separately so that I decide what features are in the player, not my console system maker.

I like this, except I would expand on this analogy by saying that Sony and Microsoft have a full pallette of paint, whereas nintendo have a crayola "My first paints" paintbox. Which creates a better masterpiece???

Well, with that logic, then movie makers and musicians all "tell" people what they want. If an artist wants to make some kind of new music genre, then he'll try to do that. If a producer has a new idea for a film that's never been done before, then he'll try to do that. Of course you need some fan reception and input to form a successful entertainment product, but if you just listen to people around you to form a conclusion on what to make, then you're just being a tool for them.
If you don't think for yourself, then who will?

Eh, we can all argue whos better but in my own opinion Nintendo games are just more fun. They are just have that weirdo-Japanese game feeling that you can only get from playing Nintendo games (or Katamari Damacy). Not saying I'm not going to play Playstation games or anything but I just like Nintendo games better. Although where it counts (Japan) Nintendo has a much better hold on the market then Xbox.
