That's right, for those of you who are video game illiterate, there are a slab of next-gen consoles out on the market right now for the taking. The Nintendo Wii, the XBox 360 and the Playstation 3.
At first sight I was not convinced by the Wii, but looking at it again, it looks like fun. However, I am not blind to the fact that the Wii Sports title that comes with the system has left me a bit disheartened. I simply know that the sports title will not make me want to play it over and over again, the replay value there is gone. However, what will keep the Wii alive and kicking are its game titles that will not be forwarded to other systems, like Metroid 3, Mario Galaxies, and of course Legend of Zelda. The new Legend of Zelda looked to be like a fun title and something i'd like to get into, but alas, I don't have three or four hundred dollars to spend on a Wii. One thing I will note about the Wii, hello! The graphics are NOT there. Even with games like Zelda I'm saying, ya' know, that's about a step above Gamecube, but nothing mesmerizing. In conclusion, it will be the gameplay that saves the Wii, not its graphical capability.
The XBox 360 is owning the market at current and that is because it has had a full year to play around with people's imaginations. 360 holds a number of great titles that are sure to keep people dazzled for at least a few weeks and an online play system that is tremendous in comparison to either Nintendo's or Sony's. In short, the 360 has the market right now and some of the major strengths to keep it running strong, but before too long it is going to have to start cranking out some great titles (besides Halo 3) to be the top dog.
Playstation 3 has just come out this week like the Wii and has come with a tidy pricetag of $600. One thing that the PS3 has is a capable dvd player that the XBox seems to have missed out on and also has the graphics to boot. However, the PS3 has a lot to overcome including a set of launch games that have been less than stunning. Don't count the PS3 though, it has some hurdles to jump, but guarunteed it will go through the hoops easily. The launch of Metal Gear Solid 4 will do major things for the PS3.
In the end, the PS3 will own the most of the market, why? Because its the name that most people trust and enjoy. No one has enough ground on Sony to take them out of the top spot and just because there is a pricetag on the PS3 that is nuts, true gamers will find a way, when the 360 cost 500 dollars, gamers found a way. Just cause its expensive doesn't mean anything in the lion's share of the market.

In a final note, I'd like to say "Screw you Maddox, your bitching about Sony is the second crappiest article you've ever written!" Get some balls man, that was pathetic. Got problems with the PSP? Then go talk about them at E3 you big dumb shitbag.
