REVOLUTION vs. PS3

No poll?

VIVA LA REVOLUTION!!!

I agree, it's the best looking system... but it's not so much good looking that it will take away from PS3's graphical capacity....

I was set on the PS3 from the start, but seeing the Press Conference has only carved my feelings into stone. PS3 will sit on my Entertainment Center throne, this 2006.

It almost seems like you guys are jumping to conclusions just over the Rev's design.....

its a funny thing about looks. Size will usually be the main factor in how good the console looks.

If they were All the EXACT same size, but thier own shapes. Xbox360 might actually look best. and nintendos design, being a giant block wouldnt look good. However as it is, its not a giant block, its a very small block, and that makes it look better.

i dont like it setting in its little tray standing up on an angle. but i do like the small flat shape of it. it does look good.

As of right now. i really dont want to spend a ton of money next gen, i only plan on getting 1 console. its looking like its going to be PS3 at this point, but we still got a while to go till i have to make that decision final.

be quiet null...you know your decision is final.... look at Killzone for crying out loud. Everyone is already picking a color for their PS3.. lol

it's no surprise here the 2 people who voted for revolution... after only seeing it's design......*ahem* GM and DS *ahem*

I kinda find it funny how some people feel they must strongly represent their support for a gaming company.

lol, and as for systems... i don't care right now. Neither won't be here til next year. =]

Ah yes. The graphical capacity that blows away Nintendo's released Revolutions specs and videos. I admit, you're right.

How in God's name anyone could vote for the Revolution when they haven't seen ANYTHING for it, is beyond me. If you're saying that a picture of a black box is better than the PS3's entire showing, you are crazy.

It said pick a system that you will buy. Based on what I've seen and heard, Revolution excites me more. Sure, PS3 packs a powerful punch, and is a great looking system, but it still is lacking any excitement in my mind.

The Revolution sounds great to me. Downloading NES, SNES, and N64 games? Awesome. Plays all my Cube games? Awesome. Online Smash Bros at launch, plus a brand new Miyamoto game? Awesome. The unknown REVOLUTION itself? Can't wait to find out about it.

That's how people could pick Revolution.

obviously it was that strange black and white swirl pattern that kept spinning during the conf.

You've seen and heard (official) information regarding Revolution that is more impressive than what Sony showed us during their pre-E3 conference?

Honestly now...with fans like you, Nintendo doesnt even have to try anymore. And that's sad...

I said that PS3 has more power. I also will tell you outright that it has a great set of upcoming games, and that anyone would be an idiot to think it's not a great system. Power isn't all that makes a system impressive to me.

This did not ask for what system had a better E3. It didn't ask for what system will be more powerful. It asked what system I expect to own upon release. I chose Revolution, because I love Mario. I love Zelda. I love Metroid. I love Nintendo.

Sony's got tons of great software, some that really appeals to me (MGS, Katamari Damacy, Ico, etc), and some that doesn't. Same with Microsoft, even though they aren't in this poll. But in the end, I love the 4-player action and classic franchises I know and love that only Nintendo seems to offer (Yes, I've played all current-gen systems, for LONG hours, and I stand by my conclusion that the best 4 player party system is GameCube).

If last week we ran this poll, I'm quite sure many people would've already picked most of the same they did here. People have companies they like, and that's who they will choose.

Why the hatin', man? I keep an open mind, and I don't trash any other systems, and yet everyone has me pegged for a bigtime Nintendo fanboy.

Revolution of course. The console looks awesome, as does the controller, backward compatibility with all consoles (including PS2 and (BOX), and in game screen shots.

The arcade library for Nintendo Rev being able to download is fine and dandy and all...

But did you forget the PS3 also let's you play their library of games dating back to their 1993 Playstation? You won't need to download them....and if you've kept any of your old PSX games, and of course ps2 games.... you'll be able to play them.

So Nintendo and Sony are both kinda on the right track in terms of backwards compatibility. Since Nintendo only went disc-format for the GameCube, it could only offer such backwards compatibility but is offering backwards compatibility to NES through other means.

Microsoft... I have no idea what your going to do about this...
