Just look at the games catalogue and decide of the exclusive killer apps on either consule worthy of your money.
Then Decide.

Pretty much on the money. I've got a Wii, and am looking at getting one of the other two. 99% sure it will be a PS3, simply because both my brothers have a 360, so I can just play theirs. They will want to play MGS4, which I couldn't give a toss about, and I can go and play bioshock on their 360, and we'll all be happy.

I never really care about graphics, I'm more of a gameplay person. I still find Zork and Duke Nukem 3D interesting...

Achievements are cool, but I heard the PS3 would (might) be getting this kind of feature soon?

I think achievements are quite useless. All they are are bragging rights. I don't give a flip if you have GoW "Seriously..." achievement (though my brother has it), It doesn't mean you are good, just that you killed 10,000 people in multiplayer. I only try to get the incredibly hard ones like quad killing and Halo 3 "Overkill" (still don't have that one, though my brother has all Halo 3s achievements).

Achievements=Obsession

I lost all love for Achievements when I went into a GOW multiplayer game to find 3 guys deliberately shooting each other and talking on the headset in order to gain multiplayer achievements months ago.

I think the creator of GOW bitched about this too.
Seen people doing it on Call of Duty 4 too.

Online achievements can be rather terrible, and it's been shown many times that studios indeed make a lot of mistakes when incorporating them.

I really think that's where developers need to be the most careful about how they step forward.


There are online achievements that are "over the top" (Play 500 000 online matches), which are still what I would consider a true achievement.
There are online achievements that are "acceptable/casual" (50 kills in ranked online matches), which I'd say are the okay and "online encouraging" ones.
Then there are the online achievements that are "retarded" (*Pull off random ass stunt*, *team kill*, *other random thing that people "rig" to get*), which are horrible online things and really shouldn't be locked to ranked matches and some I think should either be 0 point achievements (and just be put on your record as a gesture and not count to your visible score.) or they should be a type of "negative" achievement (separate failure score). Or maybe just split online and offline gamerscores and/or add a new complaint option for people who ruin games with obscure achievement farming.


The "achievements" I think is one of the rather important additions to games recently.
The fact that you have a universal system that keeps track of your accomplishments and progress in something pretty sweet.

I think it also encourages people to put a little time and effort into their games and get a whole lot of extra replay value out of them by adding various obscure goals.

C'mon!
Everyone knows the moonlanding was a total hoax and it cannot be proven to've happened when your Gamercard has zero points.
