WARZ BEGUN?

The big question this year when it comes to the consoles is not who sells more games like microsoft or more consoles like Wii, but who delivers the best quality experience?



Well I've sat down with WIi Fans and PS3 fans and as the Admin for G-noise and a 360 owner I have to say the battle this year for the ultimate experience is tight, and sometimes the quality of one game (super smash boros. Brawl) for Nintendo can beat 20 Microsoft games as far as quality goes. And who said quality comes behind Quantity, if you look at Xbox 360's Line up of exclusives there is Fable 2, Splinter Cell: Conviction, Ninja Gaiden 2 and hopefully Alan Wake and Too Human. these are all exciting titles to release but can they together beat Nintendo's Powerhouse, most popular game. Sony has Metal Gear Solid 4, Little Big Planet, SOCOM, Gran Turismo 5, and a lesser known Infamous. Many People are Hyping Killzone 2, but do we not all recall the first one kind of being bad?

Sony and Microsoft share something more powerful than Nintendo's classic series' and that is Multi Platform Games. Games that come out on both PS3 and X360 are games that are really the best bunch of games in the current generation of games, think..Oblivion, Rainbow Six Vegas, Call of Duty 4, Orange Box, Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter 1,2. These games combined with the Exclusives are plenty to show non-Wii gamers that they can have fun, without those classic games that they hold some hold dear.

The Key for Sony is to equalize their multi platformers to make sure that their market recieves the same or better gameplay then the Xbox Market. They need to make sure there aren't any crazes like with Madden 08 when people said that the Xbox version had a better frame-rate, and look better all around.

Xbox 360 needs to be more reliable online, and Microsoft could give us some more Action oriented games. First person shooters can last a long time, so when Microsoft releases 20 in one year players tend to move to Sony's Action oriented, and more balanced games.

Wii just needs a little more Quantity, sure everyone'll forgive Nintendo if they only release Super Smash Bros Brawl as their Big Guns of the year, but they need to get Games like Endless Ocean and No More Heroes out in the open for their market to see. Preferably Nintendo will come out with more Hardcore titles and seek diferent breeds of gamers that hide in their moms basements playing Warcraft.

As I said Multi Platform games are owning the current-gen, I mean games coming out like Grand Theft Auto 4, Rainbow Six Vegas 2, Fallout 3, Devil May Cry 4, Battlefield Bad Company, Street Fighter 4, Soul Calibur 4, Army of Two, Resident Evil 5, Saints Row 2 and many more.

Well we'll see through the end of the first quarter of second quarter of the year an uprising of Nintendo, with Super Smash Bros. Brawl in March, but a huge uprising of the Multiplatforming Market that has never been so big. Now that Microsoft and Sony Have this advantage over Nintendo it's a bigger battle and moretechnological consoles Playstation 3 and Xbox 360 will shine a lot more through the fall and the end of the year.
