i'm no hitman veteran, do played blood money and contracts but haven't finished them. Now i started on purist, i'm having a hard time trying to get past the cops after the explosion on the hotel. Guess i'll have to tone down the difficulty soon.

i was almost certain about the 3DS XL, since i'm a big guy. But look at this > http://www.gamespot.com/news/3ds-sales-nearing-6-million-in-us-6400326

You there with big hands and a 3DS, do your hands hurt ?

3DS is compatible with DSI and DS games, ain't it ?

I rather go with the latest tech... i never played Ocarina of Time and its a classic i do want to play. As i said, i've been playing PS games since forever (14 years to be correct), all nintendo stuff will feel new to me.

How is the online play with the 3DS ?!

oooh and about the accessories and the XL... would you tell me what is worth having ?

A friend of mine is selling his 3DS for a reasonable price... Maybe i'll go for it.

Hello there !

i own a PS3 and i have been a playstation guy since early days. My one and only nintendo console was the SNES, i was 5 by that time.

I've been kinda bored with my PS3, i'm looking for a different gameplay, different gimicks and clever mechanics in my games... kinda tired of the ultra productions with amazing cutscenes and "accessible" gameplay.

Do you, 3DS owners, think i'd benefit from a 3DS right now ? ooh and 3D is not something i enjoy much, my head hurts watching long 3D movies.

Thanks for the post. You're pretty much the only one who's mentioned how the PC functionality works--but that brings me to a question: Sony's site states very clearly that the 7.1 virtual surround only works with the PS3. Even on the 'PC instructions' page does it state this--so I'm curious, are you sure the headset was 7.1 when plugged into your PC? This is a make or break feature for me, so I'm desperate to find out if it's true.

Maybe his pc's soundboard supports it. The 7.1 is software bound, any headset you plug in a soundboard with this feature will "simulate" the surround.

As a PC gamer... I don't know how you console peasants live with your boxes!

But in regard to your question:

How can anyone officially tell you what is going to happen with the Wii U? I mean I can tell you I want it to be a great success because I have fond feelings for Nintendo. But I honestly think it is going to be rough. It is going up against two solid last generation consoles with hardware that seems decent, but are any developers actually going to develop for the Wii U or are they going to develop for the main 2 consoles and then just port over to the Wii U?

The Wii U would have to sell a lot for third parties to start developing hardcore for it without it being all 360 ports. By that time I would guess the Next Xbox and PS would be out or close to coming. I just don't have a great feeling about the Wii U... I don't know if the tablet controller is enough of a gimmick like the wii motes were to attract people into buying it even if it has the potential to be a great developer platform this time. I certainly won't be buying it until it has proven itself.

So my answer is ... I don't fucking know... do you like halo!?!? Than buy a fucking Xbox. Do you like Mario? Buy a fucking Wii U. The rest of the new games will probably end up on both eventually even if they are ports.

Officially no one can, thats why i'm suggesting discussion about it. Facts are facts no need to discuss. Wii U is still a mistery so there are theorycrafts to be made.

I agree, wii u might fall in the same hole as Wii did. No support because of the older tech, but i don't know if PS4 and next XBOX will have THAT gap techwise, you know why ? Production cost, games are already fucking expensive to make, with better graphics and better tech devs are pushed to do better than before, if the gap is THAT big, like PS2 to PS3, the cost will go even higher. IMO this new generation will be prettier and thats it. No changes in resolution, no big changes in mechanics or anything else. Graphics will be the major difference, but not that major. The push will be for the social aspect of things and media integration. (microsoft is already getting strong in those matters).

Soooo, maybe the Wii U will not be forgotten that quick, thats a big maybe. But hey, my main plataforms has been PS and PC for quite some time and i dont see it changing soon (i'll always have a gaming PC, until a console mmo interest me and shooters/RTS get at the same level on consoles). Wii U would be a sidekick for a different gameplay and gimmicks. That would be the reason to buy it i guess.

i'm pretty much decided not to get the Xbox 360, at least not until Wii U releases and we can measure how it'll behave through time.

Maybe i'll wait for the Wii U release and see how it turns out next year, then i make my choice.

I'm afraid i'll be in too much redundancy with PC , PS3 and Xbox... and i have not that much interest in the Xbox exclusives. I do have some interest in Halo, specially the new one, Forza is always interesting as well, but not sure if the exclusives (the weakest of the Xbox imo) can solely justify the purchase.

Not a huuuuge fan of Nintendos franchises as well, but i'm fond of them. My first console was a SNES, i was 5 at the time. My dearest is the PS One though.

Ooooh another factor, i'm not from the US, i'm Brasilian. That said, here the new consoles takes a while to arrive, also the price is steep (they don't get that better over time, anyway). So a Xbox is more expensive than you might think and a wii u will be much more !

Games are in a better picture because i can import stuff from different locations, not a big issue.

Another thing to focus on, the online component of Wii U. Does anyone have a clue how it'll be like ?

Ooh about the pc, i already have a decent pc, been playing BF3 with it and other games. But i rather use my console, i use the PC mostly for shooters, mmos and exclusives (like the goods RTS).

Hello to you all, this is my first thread and post here. Nice to meet you =)

I'm here to ask, as a PS3 owner, your opinion about that: should i wait for Wii U to get "mature" and buy a Xbox 360 or a Xbox 360 is not worth anymore, since i already have a PS3 and this console cycle is almost in the end ?

I'm bored with my PS3 right now. Been reading about the better online enviroment Xbox provides, also very excited to see what devs can make of Wii U new controller.
