[QUOTE="Sousanator, post: 52393, member: 445"] What truly makes a console win the war? Is it sales? popularity? profit? games? I don't think wii is the winnner, although it is hugely popular, and has made more money than any other console in the world in this short amount of time, I don't think it will win. The problem with the wii is there are only 3 AAA titles for it (Wii Sports, Mario Galaxy, Brawl), the other games are just meh. People are soon going to realize this and abandon their wiis. Everybody that I know, that has bought a wii within a year of launch, and has vast gaming experience is now completely bored with their wii. Most just keeping it for Brawl. Most of its games are too casual, and the online is horrible compared to the other 2. The XBOX 360 has had a great advantage being a year ahead of Wii and PS3, but with most of its AAA titles already passed their is still no activity in Japan. Its hard to tell how much money microsoft is making because of all the consoles they have to replace for free. But in North America, it seems the 360 is more popular then the PS3, and is dubbed as the true hardcore gamers console. The Xbox 360 has the best online experience, unfortunately only those who pay can experience it. The PS3, selling well in Japan, and selling equal to the 360. Most of its AAA titles are still to come, and the price of a PS3 is now reasonable. Although it gets bashed the most in North America, it is doing quite well. It has games for the hardcore, and games for the casual, so it suits everyone. Its free online service is not as bad as people make it out to be, and compared to the wii online it is amazing. This will be a very close race, and it will take at least another 5 years to see who is the closest to the finish line. And then on the 7th year we will be debating about the 8th generation of consoles. [/QUOTE]
