punroc1 Posted August 20, 2007 Share Posted August 20, 2007 As what may come as no surprise to many of the users here it was jus releasied that the wii is 20,000 units away from out selling the xbox 360 currently. http://gamepro.com/nintendo/wii/games/features/129528.shtml You can see the article i found there which is rather interesting.

Anime Gee Posted August 20, 2007 Share Posted August 20, 2007 Craziness! I've been completely out of the video game loop for a long while now. Whatever happened to the PS3? Most of the people that I know have Wii, xBox, 360, or PS2, but none of them have PS3. Did it suck or what happened? ('_' ) ?? Link to comment
LeadingMan Posted August 20, 2007 Share Posted August 20, 2007 Did it suck or what happened? ('_' ) ?? Costs too much to justify the current number of quality games for a lot of people. Plain and simple. It'll pick up eventually. 199 is still the magic number in the games business. Link to comment
Svenska Aeroplan Posted August 20, 2007 Share Posted August 20, 2007 I want a 360 before I get a Wii, but I cannot get a 360 until they deal with the quality issues. Until then I'll just be buying all the used games I never got to play over the last few years when I didn't have time to play video games. Link to comment
stranger Posted August 20, 2007 Share Posted August 20, 2007 i dunno... the PS3 is currently my favorite... personally i think the Wii has an even poorer selection of games, mine has been collecting dust for a while now Link to comment

Although, I fully agree with you. In fact I sold my Wii for $450. Link to comment

Makil Posted August 20, 2007 Share Posted August 20, 2007 i dunno... the PS3 is currently my favorite... personally i think the Wii has an even poorer selection of games, mine has been collecting dust for a while now Mine hasn't seen game action for about a month when I picked up Twilight Princess again. I'm really pissed that I bought a Wii so soon. I knew there'd be almost no good games for it during its first year of life. That's why I'm planning on getting a 360 Elite or PS3 pretty soon. I just can't decide which I want first. Link to comment
punroc1 Posted August 20, 2007 Author Share Posted August 20, 2007 Go route of 360 cuz there are a few more games than that of the PS3 even though the ps3 as got some what look to be good games coming on the way. Eg: Ratchet and Clank. and MSG4. Link to comment
Artie Posted August 20, 2007 Share Posted August 20, 2007 Are you gonna get the elite or just the premium? uhh idk. I have enough for the elite so I've been thinking about that. I mean, since I don't have one already i guess getting the Elite would make sense, although it's quite a bit more. I'll get back to you after I get back from walmart sooner or later. Link to comment

I know walmart i supposed to be cheap but dear god dont buy from there they have such bad service in the video game section. I waited to 2 hours to try and get condemned criminal origins but the wrong person to get the game was being sent each time and i eventually didnt get it so they got horrible service man.

Gundampilotspaz Posted August 20, 2007 Share Posted August 20, 2007 I wonder if the xboxs sales numbers include the second and third units people recieved when theirs broke. Link to comment

Personally, I've never been subject to their craptacular service thankfully. I just get lucky every time I'm there. I would rather go to an EB or GameStop but the closest one to my house is in Hamden and I dont feel like driving all the there. lol Link to comment

Unless you plan on renting movies and buying a lot of shows, want to play FFXI, and want just about every single game on XBLA now, you don't need the extra space. Link to comment

J-Stop Posted August 21, 2007 Share Posted August 21, 2007 true. Plus it's easier on my wallet isn't it? $100 easier. Which could be used to buy a retail game and enough MS points to get a few XBLA titles. Link to comment

I just find it weird how Walmart calls it the Xbox 360 Premium and GameStop Calls it the Pro. Confused me for a second there. It's the same price at both stores. Actually, I could just order it online and not go anywhere. just gotta find out which has cheaper shipping. Link to comment
