haven't read a single console wars thread in months. What's the current situation like? Did year of PS3 happen or is the 360 still on top of it?

Nintendo - making shit tons of money
MS - finally making a profit for the first time
Sony - lost $3 billion

That sums it up for me...

Sales - Nintendos Winning
Games - 360s Winning
Movie Format Wars - Sony Won

Ok I already knew the Wii was winning but I thought Sony would be almost on par with M$.

Eh, what made you think that? The PS3 is outselling the 360 pretty much everywhere at this point, but there's a year headstart and a shitty shit year of their own to make up for.

O so the PS3 is outselling the 360 now? Nice.

Its the year of Dennis Dyack, ive enjoyed his ranting and ravings more than most of the games released this year.

Year of Dyack will Continue into 2009 with his Sega game

That's fine, the Wii is not a real videogame console, shitty waggle for shitty casuals total.

microsoft is finally starting to earn back the 8 billion or so in losses they've stacked up since joining the console war.

ps3 is catching up to 360 in sales, slowly.

nintendo is buying lake erie because their old swimming pool of money just wasn't big enough.

Guys I don't think I will be buying any console this gen. I was planning to get a PS3 for MGS4 and GTA4 but I'm really not intending to play anything else other than those two games and it seems like a waste of money to get a brand new console just for that. I'm gonna see if I can rent a PS3 somewhere

I'm on my second playthrough of MGS4--so awesome. I don't know if it is worth purchasing a console for, tho.

PC

As a historically console first gamer, I find myself wanting a new rig more and more these days. Over the next few years the PC will have Dawn of War 2, Starcraft 2, and Spore. Sign me up please.

Now in terms of consoles, I would have to rate it 360>Wii>PS3. The 360 has plenty of games that I like, the first party games on Wii are good, and there has yet to be anything on the PS3 that justifies the price for me. That will undoubtedly change when the PS3 gets a price drop and more games hit this fall, but right now there are only a few titles that look compelling to me (Warhawk, Ratchet, Uncharted).

you would know, since you bought a next-gen console and next-gen games because you had the money, and tested them out and concluded that they sucked, but you still haven't paid Ichi back.

In my house, since that is all that really matters to me, it's split 50/50 PC/PS3.

I'd imagine someone strapped for $50 would think this generation sucks. When you have some income, you will change your tune.
