FPSs on Wii might be interesting. As long as they don't bollocks the controls like Red Steel has. But the Metroid demo was reportedly good.

Well in all truth we wont know how good the control scheme is until you try it first hand.

Where's the option for getting multiple systems?

Anyway, I already have a 360, and am very pleased with it. But that doesn't mean I'm not getting a PS3 (assuming these crackpot rumors are false.). As far as the Wii is concerned... let's just say I need some convincing.

Spending thousands on multiple consoles which have basically the same hardware inside... That's just what they want and whatnot... B)

It's also what they'll get, unless this trend of dwindling exclusives keeps up.

There are still tons of exclusives, especially from Sony.

I've heard these conspiracy theories where they supposedly made new games hard to emulate on PCs on purpose. :huh:

True, but I don't think I'm alone when I disregard some of them since the bigger portion are more than likely GTA clones using a hardly editted version of the engine and with only slightly modified objectives...


On purpose? It was more likely a sideline benefit of games getting more complex and graphically intensive.

The PS3 hardware is just so strange. But it won't be so much different from the current situation I suppose. If the dev wants to do a multiplatform game it's manageable.

It seems like Wii get the highest vote in GameFaQs.
But I'm still going for PS3.

The PS3, RPG's.

Maybe the Wii, but I'm weary on the controller. Seems almsot like they're forcing "innovation" instead of just trying to make something entertaining.

You say forcing, but people are trying the demos and loving every minute of it.

Ah, I haven't really been paying attention to any Hands-On. I'll look into it.

I look forward to the day when people finally realize how much money they're wasting on consoles.

I'll just continue putting money into my DS.
