This is the decision I have to make, which to get? Because when I get one, I won't be able to get the other for a few years (my parents, more specifically my dad, will get pissed for having two consoles). It is between PS3 and Revolution, XBOX 360 isn't even in the picture. I am always a Nintendo fan first (for consoles), so I wasn't even considering the other consoles. But after seeing the Killzone 2 trailer, I began thinking twice. If you haven't seen it, check it out. http://www.gametrailers.com/gamepage.ph

mmhmm, you know i'm getting the ps3 if i choose to get a next gen
first: i enjoy your writting on games and such. many livejournals are blase and needlessly concise (sometimes mine), but yours keeps up.the question that each of us will ask ourselves is coming more into discussion everytime new footage or console specs. are released. whether we look to the past and stick with nintendo, or whether we accept it as our first (which we always remember fondly) and move on to a more evolved medium. i say this because the ps3 looks to become a gamer's dream, a practical home entertainment system for the new technology coming out, a bragging piece for the rich and famous, plus many more unseen uses. it's allready easy to see all the new mtv cribs episodes where every player and biker has his/her own next gen console and mathcing tv shrine.
the revolution just isn't sounding revolutionary by any means. i am just about ready to stop calling it that, because so far the equipment looks like the black boxes i see piled up at pawn shops. maybe nintendo is being revolutionary by pissing off a large chunk of their fanbase by withholding info. instead of pandering to every clique imaginable with each new game. some of the results have been magnificent, but more than enough have been pitiable at best.
the x box 360: behemoth's own. microsoft is putting out another console which will hopefully keep me more interested in more than 5 titles. and i still haven't played ninja gaiden. make it 4.
back to the ps3: glorious. i don't need to waste more space with these words. just two more with a roman numeral: final fantasy 7. yes, the new one.

Re: mmhmm, you know i'm getting the ps3 if i choose to get a next gen
I totally forgot about FF 7. Another great title to look forward too. I guess I am just more of a FPS player, because everytime I watch the Killzone trailer, I am just in awe.
