Well think about it, while PS2 pushed the graphic barrier, the N64 broke it for the time. It was what brought Nintendo into 3D with style and grace, and the pacemaker for at least five years (if not a decade).

In short, it's a video-game consol legend.

I never said anything about graphics. It's all gameplay (or story), man.

What he said. But there were other good games for the N64. Non that I can think of, but they were there (I'm too lazy to go downstairs and look through my games at the moment).

I really shouldn't be saying anything 'cos i'll get carried away but...

Anyway who knows me well will know of my love for technology, games and well the third thing isn't really important. What is important here is the playstation, and anyone who knows mell well will know how much i hate these things.

Firstly the name, it just sounds like something a six year old could have come up with then theres the games which aren't much better, especially for the Ps3. And don't kid yourself by pretending that its a great console because of all the "future potential" it has. Future potential means nothing, what's important about a console is what it's like now, and sure the puss is'nt as bad as the piss but the black colossus never had/never will have a chance against the mighty 360. (which was so mighty that it originally kept breaking, due to shear power or was that because Microsot are only slightly good at one thing and that's computers?) I'm gonna shut up now because i'm on the verge of moaning about every fault with every games console.

I'm going to be completely serious here for a second: ALL NEXT GEN CONSOLES ARE TERRIBLE AT THE MOMENT. They all have a severe lack of good games. The PS3 has...about two, maybe three. The XBOX 360 has...Dead Rising and Lost Odyssey. The Wii has Brawl.

The PS3 has backwards compatibility, which gives it several hundred amazing games. The XBOX 360 might have backwards compatibility, I don't know, but if it does, it gets...another one or two good games. As far as I know, the Wii doesn't have backwards compatibility, but it more than makes up for it with the Virtual Console, which allows you to emulate older games...wait, what's this?

Oh. You can install Linux on your PS3. This means...complete emulation of older games as well as PC games on your PS3, thus giving the PS3 several other amazing games, as well as making the Virtual Console essentially worthless as you can play those same games you'd buy on the Virtual Console completely free on the PS3.

The 360 and wii do have backwards compatabiltiy! The 360 can paly many, but not all originalxbox games and the wii can play gamecube games.

Again, I wasn't sure on the X360 seeing as how I don't have that console. Hence why I put it up to "maybe." On the Wii...where the hell do you even put Gamecube games? Their discs are pretty small, so I can't imagine that you put them in the normal disc slot.

Ah. Now, if only the GameCube wasn't one of the failure consoles (alongside all-stars like the Dreamcast and the VirtualBoy).

My PS3 has never had any heating issues. The only way that's going to happen is if you're too damn stupid to actually give the fucking thing some air.

I actually liked every single console from the last generation. However I can't say that about this one. I've never played the PS3 so I can't really say anything. But I think that right now, my favorite of this generation is the 360. Because unlike Solomon, I do like FPS games. I'm looking forward to the release of Fable 2, because the first one was very fun. I like the Halo series, and I like COD4. You know, there are very few game series that I actually hate. [size=1]Except Metroid[/size]...

Anyway, the point is that I can't really say much about the PS3 because I haven't played it. I didn't find any of the consols before it lacking, but I didn't see it's competition lacking either. I guess I'm just a guy who loves video games in general.

A quick note: there are a ton of FPS games on the PS3 right now. The GameStop list has 60 on it. Also, if you're playing a console for FPS games...honestly, why are you not playing Resistance: Fall of Man? 40 player multiplayer anyone? :rolleyes:
