Okay gamers, which one??? (PSP/XBOX360)

Vivaki · 10-08-2005, 12:07 PM

Thinking of getting an Xbox 360 or a PSP till the PS3 comes out.

Which one do you think I should go for? (I already have a ps2)

Xbox 360 sounds like the right choice, when are expected release dates for both systems.

PSP is on sale everywhere in the world now.

Xbox 360 is Nov 22 in U.S, Dec 2 Europe and Dec 10 Japan

PS3 is "spring 2006"

Nintendo Revolution is "fall 2006"

PSP is amazing, but has a weak line up due to difficulties with development (hard to make games right now, costs a lot of $$$ on R&D), but that will surely change in the future, when developers get the hardware under control.

Xbox 360 will have a strong line up from the beginning, and has a HUGE list of 1st and 3rd party developers, including 100% support from EA (mediocre games, but still in high demand from the general public due to popular games franchises like Madden, Fifa, etc, etc). EA is the biggest publisher of games in the world after Nintendo, so having EA support is almost critical....

PS3 has yet to reveal it's plans, but expect huge announcements in the near future (from now until E3 2006)

Nintendo is still too far off, but expect their games to be HIGHY unique and refreshing, with gameplay not possible on other hardware.

Id go for the 360, it seem's like the best so far, plenty of time to get PS3 when it comes out... its like another half a year or so..

Klier great break down. Good reasoning.

I think I'll be getting the 360 since it will be out on the market first. I have to say that I'm really impressed with the Nintendo revolutions contoller. Playing games on that console will be a turn out to be a fun and unique experience. Although I'm not sure I can wait 7-10 month for the console to hit the stores.
