HD-DVD is teh best, down with Blue-Ray!

In other words, I'll go with the Xbox(though HD-DVD is not definite, as far as I know).

hmm... though I wouldn't mind more info on Nintendo's next console.

I like xbox over playstation 2, but I have to admit that playstation 3 is better than the xbox 360.

Blue ray is much better than HD-DVD... it holds twice as much data (with the possibility of holding up to 200 gigs--using 8 layering techniques), and it's also much much faster.

Also, playstation 3 is twice as fast in processing power... 2 teraflops as opposed to 1 which the xbox sports.

The only thing xbox has over playstation3 is the wireless controllers...

Nintendo over all!

In my case, it's simply a matter of wanting an HD-DVD console to exist, not so much which one I'd prefer to have in my gaming  system( I don't plan to buy either of them, at any point in time ).

Also, as far as what you've said about the storage of Blue-Ray goes, it's correct. Although it lacks the ability to use the newer mpeg format, which results in the HD-DVD being just as good(if not better) as a replacement for DVD( which is what I'm hoping replaces DVD   ). Considering the cost to completely rework manufacturing in order to produce Blue-Ray, instead of HD-DVD, I'm sticking with HD-DVD as my prefered optical-drive format( and I prefer the companies involved to recieve my money ).

and I may agree with you, that the PS3 is better(as far as hardware goes), but only time will tell which is the better console(and that will most likely be a matter of opinion ).

and since, like I said, I don't care too highly for either console(just trying to throw our off-topic discussion into a proper thread), I think I'll just go back to lurking in the shadows.

PS3 has wireless controllers.
XBox360 uses regular dual-layer DVDs not HD-DVDs.

when the new consoles are released I will be buying a brand spanking new PS2 since i have yet to buy one and it has a bunch of games i want

So what is Nintendos next gen console? The Gamesphere or the Gamerectangle or the gametriangle or the gamecylinder?

[Jafar]

We don't know it's real name yet, but it's codename is "Revolution".

[Corsair5]

Oh my gosh! It's not really a next gen console! It's something bigger! They're going to attempt to overthrow the Federal Government! Call the National Guard, the CIA, the FBI, the NSA, the Army!

Someone had too much sugar this morning...  

[Jigen]

Yeah, yeah, yeah more powerful processor and wireless as standard whatever. What i want to know is has Sony finally made a decent control pad, cause the joysticks and D-pad they've got now suck arse.

XBOX 360 wins because they get the 2006 RPG of the Year. The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion. Radiant AI. That alone will win it game of the year.

[Jafar]

I doubt it. Xbox is a horrid console, and I don't have much faith in it's successor. :glare:
Revolution will win because of the classic gaming downloads.

[Paladin0707077]

I say right now it's all up in the air. I'd actually have to play them all to make a decission.

[Jafar]

Maybe.
Still, Nintendo has Zelda, Mario, Kirby, Metriod, and all the other series. Plus, they'll be starting more new series on Rev.

How is XBOX a horrid console? I'll grant you, the original controllers are enormous, but the S controllers are fine. At least they don't have the controllers that PS2 has, which are miniscule.
