Which Next-Generation Console Will You Buy?
The thinking process of which console to buy next has begun. Xbox 2 will be launched for this Christmas and Nintendo/Sony will launch their offering in 2006.
Although Xbox 2 will be the first one out, I will probably at this point wait for Playstation 3 for a number of reasons. First I doubt there will be any killer launch software this year, if there was, the hype would already be building right now. The best I think people can hope for is a Halo 2.5 remix. Second with more time, Playstation 3 will probably be much more powerful graphically and be able to include a high definition DVD storage medium. The latter is great for people with HDTVs like me and an aversion to switching disks during gameplay. Nintendo will probably flop like a dead fish, since third-parties like Capcom will not make the same mistake by going exclusive on a dying platform. What do you guys think? [Discuss]
