I kind of know what you mean...But, I say just wait and see what this next generation brings. I remember reading somewhere that the total leap from this generation of games to the next in terms of graphics and hardware can be comparable from the jump from the Original consoles to the 32-Bit systems or something like that. But I'm with you, back in the days of genesis and snes were some of my favorites. You're a Metal Slug fan? Me too. Anyways, my opinion is, if you've been a console gamer all these years, you should stick it out and see what kind of games weg get see at launch.

aaaah Those were the days . Remember we posed that we have genesis . But now consoles are everywhere and we can get them anywhere . I think the console generation is dying . There have been too many consoles and too many games . That right consoles have good loading and good graphics but there have been to many consoles to release another one . You better go with a computer . These days computers can do anything and thus are the best . But consoles are limited and have too many games and thus companies cant create more games because consoles are limited and they cant think of a game . You see consoles are dying because they are limited for example if you have 1 apple and eat it theres no any left and you can eat .Companies have used all their games and cant release and because of this they try to make better consoles .

I would say computers are the best by far. They have the best graphics and performance (overall), and have the best multiplayer. They also have the advantage of being able to do many other things, such as word processing and internet access, which sometimes makes them a better value. The only thing PCs don't really have is some of the titles consoles have.

I think the one thing I'll really miss is getting together with everyone. That was the one thing that the console was really good at. Multiplayer in the same room with a bunch of controllers. As far as emulators go you can do that with a computer but most new PC games require your friends to have another computer and LAN parties seem so overkill. I don't think me and my friends would ever do that... Maybe one day computer games will have better controller support and multiplayer. Who knows? I am considering a console but I'm not too sure. If it's good enough I might get it. The only problem is that I'm losing interest in them so I might opt for a modded console. Games cost so much and let’s face it, you don't have to pay for anything on a computer these days. The price of your console will skyrocket over a computer soon enough. Kind of off subject but there is another thing I like about computers. Dual monitors. It’s so crazy to be playing a game on one monitor and watching a show on the other. If you never tried it and you have a good enough video card you gotta do it. And don't worry, this isn't like drugs. You won’t regret it later.

Couldn't find an edit button so I had to make another post... I'm just wondering what 64 bit gaming will do to 32 bit consoles... I think PC technology is just moving too fast for consoles... Kind of sad... I don't even like consoles anymore but it will be sad if they die...

computers will always be on top, sure xbox 360 has revealed msn integration but pc has hd that for a long time, ps3 and xbox 360 are definetly a big step forward im justsurprised they released them so soon after xbox and ps2 and where is nintendo revolution in this topic?? i mean has anyne even thought of the new remote that comes with nintendo revolution?! its wireless and it sences where your remote is pointing and does it in the game, so if you swing your arm in real time, your going to swing your arm in the game and with FPS just move your remote closer to the tv to zoom in, itspretty cool, but computers will rule now and forever  no console can surpas what a pc can do at the moment (maybe a mac )

i disagree. i dont own a console and never have but i have not problems with these new pc like consoles. they can only be a good thing. better power and performence can only be good - to recreate the magic of old games you dont need old technology but you need good game designers and good gameplay. the increased performence will decrease loading time and such problems. i think the 2 controller playstation was one of the worst ideas ever. you need 4 controller to make local multiplayer fun. and with xbox live mega multiplayer is getting better on consoles too. we will have to see with the next generation consoles out soon. not sure how many xbox people will change straight away but i think people with ageing ps2s probably will buy the xbox 360 when its out for christmas. i think the movement with these consoles towards being home media servers is definatly a good idea becasue it is much nicer than having a media pc in your lounge which most people dont want. using these new consoles for media is the way forward. next step tv tuners and hd recording aswell?? i think so.

After reading up on these kick ass cell processors (STATE of the art, much nicer that x86) im thinking of buying a PS-3.. Im not going to play games on it. IBM sent kernel patches to the linux mailing list for the cell cpu's. and they work. infact, Play station 3 hard disks are pre-installed with Linux. so im happy  (aslong as i can plug the ps3 into a lcd monitor )

I like the PS3 the best. I think that the experience for online gameplay is much better than the X-Box and the Wii. The FPS Shooters for the Wii are crap. The reason I probably like the PS3 more than the X-BOX is probably because I started playing the Play Station 1 way before the X-Box came out and I had more experience with the controllers. I also like the Play Station 3 Operating System. It has a nice General User Interface.

My first console was a NES, the version before the SNES, I had doctor Mario for it, it was tetris but with coloured pills instead lol but what you were saying about using a PC instead of a games console, if that's what you're interested in doing then you have to get an alienware pc. They're designed for gaming and the graphics quality and speed is amazing. I especially love the extra widescreen monitors you can get that are curved around you so it feels like you're in the game. If you wanted to you can even get a wireless attachment so you can use the xbox360 controllers and wireless headsets on your pc. My favourite console though has to be the wii. I bought Medal of Honour: Heroes 2 and the full interaction of the environment with the controller was great. Very difficult to get used to in the beginning, I was always taking bodyshots instead of headshots which was a mistake. The maps were well designed too and the gameplay was excellent, but as always you would always get someone who would go around and kill his own teammates which really messed with your overall kill rating. I finally mastered the sniper rifle and shotgun and worked my way up on the scoreboard from rank 33,000 to 64 then had to stop playing after my son was born lol I love other wii games too just for the physical side of the gameplay, like need for speed carbon. That was great, you would tilt the handset up and down for acceleration and reverse and use the nunchuk to stear by tilting it left and right. You could rotate the camera with the analogue stick and nitro on the little button. Resident evil 4, yet another great game to play on the wii. I think if they put more tech. in to the graphics and memory of the console then it could be greatly improved and have some AMAZING games released for it.

I cannot say if it is better than X360, but that is what I will be buying and playing. I would think of the Wii, but it is a lot to put into video games... The best one I would go for is the PS3, this is because: -The cell chip is one of the most sophisticated CPUs developed; far superior to Intel and AMD developments. The games are BLU ray meaning that they have more space for better graphics, sound and environments. -The true 1080p means the PS3 is future proof for the next 4 years at least unlike XBOX 1080i. Also you can play lots of movies from your PC on the PS3, which up scales them for your TV! -The PS3 lets you surf the NET which is up-scaled to 1080p resolution; so your web pages never looked so perfect. You can even add your current keyboard and mouse. -PS3 has unique games developed for its technology. This includes MGS4 and resistance that create environments and characters that are so real and MASSIVE that they could never be created on other platforms. -The PS3 is a grown up console that has multimedia capabilities and is the most popular Blu ray player in the world; which means that the customer base is massive. I play online and the community is massive. -The PS3 doesn’t brake down like other consoles also.
