Technology battle: The new generation of video-games consoles



Good afternoon to everybody again. Today I will talk you about the new generation of video-games consoles: PS3, Xbox 360, Wii, DS and PSP.

Some people gossip Nintendo consoles(Wii and DS) to be only for child. I know that Nintendo will never had a lot of the games that these group of people called "adults games", but I think it depends about your likes. My opinion is that the games which are completely of Nintendo(Mario's, Zelda's and Metroid's game) could be good options for all, but... it's the truth that titles like "cooking mama" or "harvest moon" that... well... I prefer to not enter in this subject


The group that I mentioned said too that PS3 and Xbox 360 are the consoles which have the best games and the more playable for adult people. Of course, PS3 is the console of this generation that win in all technology resources, not only for graphics and sound quality, because PS3 have the most powerful chip of all: the Cell chip
My opinion? PS3 is better that Xbox, of course. I know that Microsoft have been won a lot of credits in this generation, but the Sony console is following the most powerfull of both two Today.

Finally, PSP. What is happened with PSP in Europe? It's a powerful portable, but in Europe there are not a lot of games for it. The reason? Nowbody knows... Maybe about it price(around 200-250€), maybe it last model(PSP Go), maybe it game catalogue(limited in all games cathegories). It's odd, because in Japan the PSP sales are good(in the last 2 weeks, PSP exceeded DS sales, and that was important, because today Nintendo DS is the salest console in the world).

Anyway, the "technology war" have a winner and is, of course, PS3 of Sony. About The game's catalogue is more difficult to take a winner, because depends of your likes. If you like shooters and action games, PS3 or Xbox 360(RPG's game are good in Microsoft's console as well) should be your election. If you're always have been a Nintendo's games fan, or you are looking for a new game form, Wii should be your choice.

I will put here some games for every console that I advise to play... But maybe my opinion is not the most correct because I do not play much with a PSP...

PS3: Uncharted 2, Assassin's Creed 2, Killzone 2, FIFA/PES 10, Mirror's Edge

Xbox 360: Assassin's Creed 2, Dragon Age, Bioshock 2, Gears of War 2, Mass Effect 2


Wii: Super Mario Galaxy, Super Smash Bros Brawl, Zelda Twilight Princess, Metroid Prime Trilogy, Wii Sports Resort


DS: Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days, Zelda Spirit Tracks, GTA: Chinatown Wars, Profesor Layton and the Demonic Box(In spanish: "Profesor Layton y la Caja de Pandora, Game wich Joel have been put some puzzles), Chrono Trigger

PSP: Patapon, Echochrome, GTA(both of them), Tekken Dark Resurrection, FIFA/PES 10


Now, It's your decision how to get. Which of these you wish?

PD: I always preferred Nintendo games because of their characters... but some games of Sony are... how I could tell... Brilliant!

Joel said...

Well, I think it's all about your likes. When I play with friends I would choose Wii, but for a perfect graphical history with action and thriller, without any doubt... PS3, of course.

P.D. I hate XBOX 360.

Johanna said...

I don't care much for these consoles, I will stay always faithful to the Nintendo 64 ^^ (L)
Legendary, great games, and all over righteous fun!

Francisco Arrocha said...

haha, well, Nintendo64 had great games, like "Ocarina of Time", "Perfect Dark" and the first "Super Smash Bros"...

I knew of one who like much Today Nintendo64 more than Xbox 360... isn't it, Joel? XD

PD: I'm not a fan of Xbox 360 too, but I recognized that have very good games...

PEDRO!!! said...

Well, I prefer the PS3 because its graphics are spectaculars while Nintendo is a game for play with friends but without the great graphics of the PS3 =)

Unknown said...

Hey, I think Pedro and Joel got the answer...!!!
When I play with friends I would choose Wii
Nintendo is a game for play with friends

So they say that Wii is for people that have friends and PS3 for those who don't!!! xDD Just kidding...

I don't really play too much with consoles, only with DS but because it's portable and just for a while. And sometimes with my computer, but just to online videogames and that stuff, only to take a break.

Luckily everyone can choose... :D

P.S. Fran remember me tomorrow to show you how to divide the post.

Francisco Arrocha said...

Ok Dany, Thanks =)

PS3 for those who don't have friens? XD That have been the prhase of the day, I will to annotate ;)

Well, there couldn't be general. Wii has game to play alone too and, without graphics which use 720p or 1080p, are very colorful and amazing(Zelda, Metroid and Super Mario Galaxy are good examples) and PS3 have games to play with friends too(Buzz, FIFA/PES, Eye Toy...)

Anyway, everyone have their opinions ;)

Joel said...

I mean that is funnier to play with more peolple in Wii. Its game are designed for that. However, Guitar Hero is so funny in PS3.

Unknown said...

I was just kidding Fran xD, because both Joel and Pedro said the same

Francisco Arrocha said...

I know Dany, I was kidding too XD.

Anyway, both consoles have great games ;)

Carlos said...

Ps3 is awesome and Xbox 360 it´s also awersome , but ps3 can´t read backups , so you have to spend a lot of money buying games.

Octavio said...

It isn't necessary to comment that PS3 is the best. I know it, you know it... all know it.
