Default VIDEO GAMES

For those who are interested in video games, and game consoles; what do you think is going to be the next big thing to come out? I remember being so excited about the Sony PSP hitting the shelves, but so far, after buying one, I have been disappointed with it. Nothing spectacular has come out for it in almost two years. On the other hand, the Nintendo DS which I originally thought was just a marketing gimmick actually looks like it is fun as hell to play, with great games too! I played the new super Mario bros game on my friends DS, and it is so freakin' awesome! Just like the original for the NES, but with a more modern appeal. For the big consoles, I thought the Xbox360 was going to be a flop when it came out, but look at it now. Microsoft is gaining big time with all the third party game manufacturers. Then the Playstation3 that I personally think will be a great system, will probably loose big time because of it's monstrous price tag. If you look at everything that you get with the PS3, it's really going to be a great bargain, however I'm betting most people won't see a $600 video game system being a "good deal". Last, but not least is the Nintendo Wii. The Wii in my opinion is going to be the winning under-dog in the next generation. It will bring a huge audience to video games just like the Nintendo DS has. Nintendo was really smart about the Wii because they knew they couldn't match Sony or Microsoft in the hardware department, but instead, they have created games for it that are going to be very easy and fun to just pick up and play. I don't think the Wii will win over many hardcore gamers, but it may bring in an even larger audience that would normally not play video games. Plus, the controller(s) for the Wii are going to add a completely new feel to gaming. Imagine being able to play a motorcycle racing game with the Wii's controller.

I'm sure I will eventually own them all, but I can see Nintendo quite possibly coming out on top this time around.[8D] I think Sony may take second, or possibly first, but only after about three or four years down the road, and after their price has dropped to a more reasonable level so more people can afford one.
