Best Video Game Console?

letswastemoney · #1 09-20-2009, 11:16 PM

Is anyone into the video game industry in here? Which console do you think is the best? All I have is a Wii. The PS3 Slim looks kind of enticing at $299 though, considering the amount of things it can do.

The PC is far, far and away the best gaming platform. If you have a decent motherboard and at least a dual core CPU, the addition of a nice Nvidia 260 or 280 video card will enable your system to make the consoles look like the old Atari games.

I like my 360 quite a bit.

If only they had a horse racing game, I'd be perfectly happy with it. Instead, I'm still playing that on PS2.

It is a close call between Nintendo and Super Nintendo, but I'm old school....so I'd go with NES.
SNES is a just little bit too modern for my taste.

I have played every system and I would say its hands down the 360... I totally agree about the horse racing game.... They need to get a good one, but there are only so many REAL RACE FANS.

I understand why they don't have one, but I still want one.

It's not like they can just pump out games for the 360 the same way they did for PS2...they cost lots more to produce, so the market just isn't there.

Gallop Racer is still more than good enough for me, though.

NTRA should get together with whoever makes Gallop Racer and insert real horse names and people into that game

I liked Atari. The new ones have too many stinking buttons!

Um, or not.

The last time the NTRA got involved in a horse racing video game, the product came with tons of hype….and was the biggest heap of gaming trash I’ve ever played.

Complete waste of time and money. I’d rather they just leave it up to Tecmo to update it.

You are so right. That Breeders Cup game was the worst/most dissapointing game evah!

I never played that game. But I know what you're talking about, the one with Ghostzapper on the cover.

yeah, tony got it for me a few years back.....it's not that good.

i have a ps2 and am about to get the ps3-mainly because all my 2 stuff will work on that. son has an xbox and loves it. i agree about gaming on the pc tho...but some games are easier to play on the ps-saints row 2 for one. i bought it for pc as it wasn't out for the ps2, and it's tricky with mouse and keyboard.

I agree with BWS, the level of suckdom is comical. I was shocked that they even threw such a horrible game to the market. Those people should not hold jobs in that field.
