This is quite possibly the most vicious next generation console battle ever. With the PlayStation 3 being released in the US at midnight, and the Wii hitting the market this Sunday, this is an excellent time to be a gamer. Yet, I find myself apathetic toward the new systems.
XBOX 360, PS3, Wii... which one is right for me? I don't know. I'm not crazy about any of them. I'm a PC gamer. I like MMORPGs, like Guild Wars and World of Warcraft. I like hassle free Internet gaming. Regardless, I wandered over to Union Square in NYC. I heard word that people were lining up for the PS3.
When I hit 14th street, I didn't see anything unusual. There was a media van parked in front of Circuit City, but I didn't see any crowds. Was this all hype or really a big hoax? Nope! I simply turned the corner to see a line that stretched for blocks - such enthusiasm for a console.
What am I missing? I've been playing video games for over 25 years. I used to be part of the "I gotta have it" crowd. Since the Atari 2600, I've never skipped an entire generation of console hardware. It's not like I would have to skip any meals to pay for a Wii, XBOX 360 or a PS3. Why am I not excited? That's the point of this thread. If you had to choose ONLY ONE system to play video games with, which one would it be and why?!
Side Note: Would you want dedicated forums at Photics.com for the PS3, Wii and XBOX 360?
