Why the Xbox 360 will win the console war.

Depends on what way you look at it, I don't consider the Wii to be in the same league as the Playstation and Xbox this time around, whether Microsoft and Sony think this too I doubt.

You're right, the Wii is not in the same league. The Wii is dominating far too much to be considered in the same league :)
 
I believe the 360 will end up in third place.

It will.

not enough library of games?? Nintendo has more exclusive/popular games than xbox or playstation..

popular games in PS:
- Final fantasy (which now is on NDS)
- Gran turismo
- Metal gear solid
- God of war

popular games in Xbox:
-Gears of war
-Halo

Popular games in Wii:
-Mario bros Adventure (in this case mario galaxy)
-Smash bross (in this case brawl)
-Metroid
-Mario kart
-Donkey kong (to be release)
-Banjo kazuie (to be release xmas time this year)
-pokemon
-Zelda

do I make my point? wii have more popular/exclusive games than any other console

No you don't, your missing so many games on the 360 and PS3 that are multi-platform not to mention lots of exclusives on each.

The 360/PS3 lineup has far more games, apart from the Nintendo first party titles it's mostly junk. Banjo 3 isn't coming to Wii, it's coming to 360. Why would Donkey Kong come to the Wii when RARE work for Microsoft?

Despite the fact that personally I think ps exclusive games have become empty and carp since the last few years of the ps2's life and that based upon games I believe the 360 to be the better console I agree with that statement. The playstation brand is so strong to joe average punter it will inevitably emerge as no 1. Then again I don't care as ms are hardly going to go skint ala' sega and the dc and all the games I enjoy playing and indeed want to buy are on the 360 or pc, so I am happy, but will still occasionally try to incite flamewars.
 
now gta isn't ps excluisive or at least for a year or so what's the point in buying a ps3? GT5? pah! MGS 4 looks so outdated it is unreal, MGS gameplay was overrated in 1998.
Also if I want a blu ray player I will buy a bluray player.

I dont think he was trying to illustrate that each platform has many multiplatorm games, he was just saying that those games in particular are/have been exclusive to each console.

ie the main sellers and games you think of when you mention the company. It can also be differant for anyone you ask but the majority will usually give you a lineup.

im getting out now :D

Watched a few videos, graphics are dull apart from the usual fmvesque trailer stuff to blag you that the graphics are awesome, gameplay looks dull, no progression from the dated mgs formula. GOW 2 will pwn it. (imo)

D'oh

Myself along with all the other MGO testers respectfully disagree! Where's Needles and Inosishi when you need em!

Come on now. Plus if you wanted a blu ray player you would be stupid not to buy a PS3. It just makes sense.
 
Why does MGS4 look outdated? It looks fine...aside from the repeated use of desert style colours, but that's only one part of the game so understandable...like the tanker from MGS2 I presume.

Graphics are poor action looks basic and stale

Dull locations, gow had variety and well designed and challenging levels. MGS is a dead formula, snake eater was so overrated it was unreal, I nealry fell asleep playig it till i realised i was suffering from hype induced compulsion to carry on plying that pos then I binned it.
 
You don't have to try and convince me, I beta test the game and so do half of the people in this thread. :p

wow.

Anyway my point is mgs is overrated, a dead formula like Gran turismo and just about every other sony excluisve game. However this and the formidable sony hype machine means that inevitably in sales terms sony will triumph, if you are the sort of person who gains any satisfaction from the fact that 1 console may sell more than another then you need a life. You and your buddies may be all excited that you have been a beta key like thousands of others however it does not nullify the fact that mgs is absurdly camp, dull and overrated. And takes itself too seriously, I nearly vomited on the utterly absurdly pretentious storyline of mgs 2.
 
imo that's just what you think (its a forum I know) and you are in a minority. GT, MGS are good games. There is hype because they have always been good games.

You sound like a hater rather than someone who is expressing a valid opinion.
