It isn't long at all until the epic next generation launch finally comes to a close, as the PS3 and the Wii join 360 in the future of gaming. Nintendo and Sony have been responsible for countless flamewars in the past month, if not 4 years. So this week we're gonna grab our gonads, lay down our opinions, and have them cast in metastone once and for all: If you could have a PS3 or Wii RIGHT NOW, plus one of any of their launch games, which system and which game would you want?
We welcome all flamewars -- feel free to go to great lengths to argue against one another futilely while you wait the extra few days until the PS3 and Wii launch, but after this week's game debate, let's just all game in peace and STFUAJPG happily ever after.
In 6 months from now we'll dig up this article and point and laugh at take a look at everyone's opinions and see if they've changed at all. Cast your votes, give a short reasoning, get your launch friends to vote too, and check back in 7 days for the winner.
Here's the results of last week's game debate:
Guitar Hero II: 18 votes
Gears of War: 22 votes

Can't wait to see what you guys choose
The PS3 is my favourite out of those 2. While the Wii is obviously showing lots of great gameplay from the launch, it will be just a matter of time before the full power of the PS3 can be utilized along with good games too.
Not like I could afford a PS3 at the momment anyway, but even if I could, the only game that I would want is Resistance. Not worth it considering it looks good, but definitely not a killer app to justify $700
Games: as cliche as it will be...Twilight Princess (I didn't like Ocarina of Time, but I thought I'd give this one a chance). 2nd pick is ExciteTruck and I am going to pick up Red Steel tomorrow O:-) <p>
<p>
(PS: Don't mind those p breaks...just seeing if they handle simple html in comments.)
I have the GC, so i will play Zelda on it.
Then i'd get a PS3 in a year with what's left.
Wii. And Excite Truck. Sony needs to get taken down a peg or two.
But I want to have fun, and have it now. Wii please
I loved that game! I mean I still do and have it!
The PS3 in one word: meh.
Wii, Zelda.
As for titles my 5 year old daughter will love Wii Play, and I suspect I will too. If I could only choose one launch title it'd be Super Monkey Ball (Ready... GO!) but I'll also be getting Zelda on launch day like the consumer sheep I am. Oh and because it looks rocktastic too (keep those videos coming).
P.S.
599 USD
Seriously though.. Hmm a PS3 is tempting, But I think If I had to choose right NOW between them both, I would choose to play the Wii. Zelda looks awesome, and I could play Wii sports with the Mrs. (Oh crap I would need to buy another controller then)
I don't have an HDTV and I enjoy good films, so I have no need for a PS3 or Blueray. When we start to see Criterion, foreign, and independant films in HD I will invest in a home theatre system...but I don't expect that for a good five years.
Although, I'll add that I couldn't really give a toss about any of the other Wii launch titles.
Unfortunately there isnt a Linux for Ps3 just yet, the Yellow dog thingie is listed as "coming soon" so right NOW all you can do is play Resistance, RR7 and hmm.. atacking the Weak Point of Genji 2 crabs for massive damage.
The ballot was confusing. :(
I will probably also pick up Red Steel and either Rayman or Super Monkey Ball at Xmas.
Long term i'm looking at Maio, Metroid, Super Smash Bros., Disaster: DoC, Project HAMMER and, god-willing, Prince of Persia. That's a pretty good list of games over the next 5 months. I will pick up Alan Wake and Assassin's Creed for my PC, so have no interest in X360 or PS3.
Let's see. The PS3 will most likely stand the test of time much better than the Wii, but the Wii will be the most fun right when it comes out.
I think I will take the Wii because it has metal slug, and I love metal slug. Don't believe me, check out my MS shirt in the forums.
Why? Why? Because after 4 years with a ps2 and a lot of good games in my table... i just can´t get along with this old set up of dual-analogic-a-bunch-of-buttons. It seens a very stupid waste of my time. Every play session ends with less than 5 minutes... But i still love video games, and i really think wii will save the day. I hope.
Which game? Zelda! Because wii sports goes on as the wii show off new possiblities, and is packed free with the console. Zelda is the must have of the season.
