What game consoles r appropriatly priced?

I think the ps2 and psp are most appropriatly priced and maybe the Xbox 360 but no way the ps3 is a good price

Well consider the amount of technology that goes into the developing these consoles.

As an example (and I've been following the development of this console closely) a Sony PlayStation 3.

A majority if people want faster, better consoles that do more and more  all the time.

A PS3 has a 7-cell processor to churn out very near photo-realistic graphics. This took years to develop (by IBM I think)

Also has a Blu-Ray DVD player. This on it's own costs £800.

Sony are losing about £200 for each console they sell.

Compare this to a Nintendo Wii.

Nintendo have taken a diffrent route. They have concentrated on playability rather than in your face graphics.

Processing wise, it's not much more powerful then the GameCube, so it's really old technology with the added bonus of the motion sensing.

Yes but thats the thing GRAPHICS DON'T MAKE A GAME. GAMEPLAY MAKES A GAME. I mean look at starcraft it's still played among millions today. Do you know why? It's because the gameplay awsome. So don't judge games on graphics. Games aren't ment to be played not looked at god!

Psycologists have a theory that it makes games more sumersive, but it's not always not the case. I don't know why the want to make the graphics that good, if it was a film that's a different matter.

you know the ps3 is actually worth more then it's sold for,

I'm not even going to quote what I said, shows who reads these things properly.

I had this argument in another forums (at least that's where this is going) and it never got anywhere..

 :peek: OMG! I got to play with a Wii the other day.  Course that sounds slightly dirty when you think about it. (I'm gonna go home and play with my Wii ) But I liked it and I had fun.  Then I found out how much the darn thing was.  :shcoked:  I was the same with the PS3 and the Xbox 360.  Heck no am I spending that much on a game console.  I remember a time when $400 would buy you ALL of the current consoles and a nice size chunk of the games.  Well let the console wars begin.  (Goes back to playing FF7 on the good old PS2)

i'm playing ff12,

once again read the thing, Graphics don't matter. I mean look at it this way. Say you were playing some game with really awsome graphics. Ok now what if the game has really bad gameplay like the controls sucks or the the storyline is horrible. (which would be alot of the games out nowadays )

[Rhakshi]

it makes the gameplay better though, yes gameplay matters but so do graphics lightly

[Theridos]

not really if a game sucks for graphics but has awsome gameplay would you still play it?

[crustybread5]

It depends... I love playing the older games. But only the really great ones.  If it was an ok-ish one with cruddy graphics then no.

[Rhakshi]

well theiridos look at it this way, if theres 2 exactly the same games (like on wii and on ps3) and the ps3's ones graphics are better, or it could be the xbx360 but whatever, which one would ya pick?

I saw a video comparing Call of Duty 3 on Wii/360/Ps3. I prefered the PS3.
