This is a question that is both simple and one that I am interested in hearing the results from, Gameplay vs HD games.
Lets say just for a moment that the Nintendo Wii has much better gameplay that the Sony PS3 and Xbox 360, now before fanboys start going off on one…please just believe it for a second (True or Not).
If that is the case then would you sacrifice the better gameplay on the Nintendo Wii for undoubtedly much better hardware in the 360 and PS3 consoles?
Some gamers could never live without their HDTV and playing games in full 1080i/p, my personal experience is the Nintendo Wii only comes out for parties and when groups of friends come over. My Sony PS3 gets played everyday when it’s just me or me and a friend…also on a nice HDTV.
So tell us, if you had to pick what’s more important to you:
1) Gameplay
2) Better graphics

hardly a fair question. anyone who says graphics doesnt actually want to game. Graphics are important to immerse us in the game world.. but a game without gameplay does not a game make.
Really, you are very shallow Daniel. This is intended only to get clicks and fire up the fanboys so you get some visits.
You are comparing something that is preferential (Gameplay) with something that is measureable (Graphics). Additionally, there always will be a cross section of gameplay for all users on each system (although I must admit Nintendo is usually heavily lacking in the more mature games content). So gameplay can be had on any of the three - Graphics cannot.
They are both important to me, But i would do without the best graphics if it meant i got a game i could play for 100+ hours. But the Wii ATM has only a few good games, Whereas the 360 and even the PS3 both have alot more games with better gameplay. So this question is what would i rather do without and the answer is neither, I get great gameplay and graphics with my PS3/360. Whereas my Wii sits ion my entertainment unit covered in dust and only comes out to show off the gimmicky controls.
You know, when I bought my Nokia with a 2MP camera and started taking videos and pictures with it I thought that was great. Then I bought a real camera, a DSLR 6MP and of course there’s a difference but I didn’t notice the difference until I went back and used my 2Mp camera phone and the pictures were just horrible on that, when at first I thought they were good, comparison.
So, to sum up, once you go High Def, I think you cannot go back, so get the Wii now, let the big boys fight it out for a few more years then get into the High Def game with cheaper prices and more games.
I agree with you Daniel. I would play the console that is the most entertaining and fun — clearly the Wii. To hell with the video crap that $ony and M$ want to hang on the machines. I have to go now, the pause on my “pong” is early over…
I think this question posed by Daniel only goes to show how stupid PS3 people really are.
Graphics only exist to make gameplay prettier.
No question. If you actually picked “graphics” over “gameplay” I wonder why you even play video games at all.
Stupid question!
Well the fact is you are all right, gameplay is very important…but and a big BUT, when you play games for many years like me (30 years old) graphics are just as important as gameplay.
So the Wii is not for everyday gamers, becuase it is very limited in my opinion…its all about gameplay and its very good at it. Keep it for parties and groups. My Sony PS3 and gamers like COD4 are just amazing…and you got to love graphics, and all PC gamers know this.
I love gaming! I play games to have a good time and to socialize with family and friends. Great gameplay is what brings us together. The better the gameplay the more fun we have. Intuitive gameplay is what brings me to the console to play. Wii would like to play!
LOL, what is wrong with this article. With games like Super Mario Galaxy and Metroid Prime Corruption, I get both graphics and gameplay. I got a PS3 and I still can find anything to match the Wii. I sold my 360 in fear of the RRoD. Plus I dont like having to pay 60 bucks for a game that is going to end soon and lose its value within the next 3 months.
Nintendo has been in this game far longer than Microsoft and Sony so it is only justice that they should be on top.
I have had all three systoms first the Wii loved it for about a month it got old fast I only kept it for that long because you can play gamecube games.Next my 360 got the RROD simply got it fixed they even sent me a free game. Then got my PS3 and had it for a while but the games werent as fun as the 360 they focused so much o beng real they werent fun that is why i have my 360 because it dosent have better graphics than the PS3 or funner gameplay than the Wii but just enough of both.
GO XBOX!
Wow really i have all three systems too, the wii is for kids and 30 yr. olds that are fat. The Xbox 360 is not that bad of a system but breaksdown to easy i mean it comes with a removable hd kinda like an oversized memory card but if you place it in a system that has ever had the RROD you get it too (its like the freakin AIDs lol) But the ps3 i havnt had a problem with imean yeah all thats come out is sports games and first person shooters but it has its perks like free online vs the 360 xbox live crap that you have to pay for also you get points instead of just saying how much money you have, no the make you freakin guess lol. Also the ps3 has alot more excluseves coming out for it so dont talk $hit because 360 sucks i mean when it first came out every single one of the 360’s were returned because they ****ed up.
PS3 FOR THE WIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
