There have been lots of pictures and images lately showing the actual sizes of the next-gen consoles. The dimensions of the PlayStation 3 are about 13.5" x 3.25", but the Wii dimensions are way smaller. As you can see from the pictures below the PlayStation 3 is pretty much double the height of the Wii. So you're thinking... how did they get both consoles in the same room? |

With the cell structure I guess it is no big surprise that the PS3 will be a huge console. But seeing it next to a Wii makes it seem too big all over again. Personally I don't have the space for the PS3 next to my TV and stereo.

why did the other guy get a newspost for his cardboard Wii and this guy didn't, even though this one looks way better than the other? Not like I care, just doesn't seem fair

» Casualism for everybody.
I can't believe it. I know people who say "PS3 is too big, I prefer Wii" are already Nintendo fans who would buy anything from Ninty, but really this makes me remember one day we were doing a kind of 'poll' with the different perspectives of old gamers, casual current gamers and people who didn't give a ***** about consoles.
Guess who was the only one who gave importance to the size of a desktop console? YES, the girl who had never played any console and said she didn't like XBOX because it was "too big".
That's what Nintendo wants. Not the 'Revolution' or the 'salvation' of the games. Not even a good and balanced machine. Only a small thing to sell to people who doesn't give a ***** about games, while the gamers will have to pay that enjoying GC graphics for the next 5 years (if they don't make Wii Advance in 2008, which wouldn't surprise me at all).

True gamers don't give a rats ass about graphics, peripherals or power. It's all in the gameplay of the system and the games for it, and that is where Nintendo leaves you, Sony, and Microsoft sitting clueless in the dust.

Who the hell cares, it's not like you keep the console in your pocket or anything. Nintendo fanbois are searching for reasons to make to their we seem better.

» That mattered since when?
"Guess who was the only one who gave importance to the size of a desktop console? YES, the girl who had never played any console and said she didn't like XBOX because it was "too big"."
Her and most of Japan. Anyone who lives in a highrise doesn't have unlimited space and the shrinkage of an appliance here and there does make a difference. Also ever considered the difficulty involved in taking the PS3 over to a friends house the PS3 is both large and heavy making leaving it at home seem all the sweeter an option. Heck I even leave my GameCube home sometimes because its too big. There is nothing less fun than NOT having a Halo 2 LAN game because the other XBOX didn't fit in the LAN bag.
"while the gamers will have to pay that enjoying GC graphics for the next 5 years"
Yes, but we will be enjoying them, so does it really matter. GameCube level graphics didn't stop me from enjoying my GameCube, and I missed the part where PS2 owners couldn't enjoy their games because the competing consoles' games looked better.
Graphically RE4 was the GameCube's swansong and to be honest even if the Wii is only 10% better than that, I'm sure a large portion of gamers could live with that for more than just 5 years. You could say similar statements about the PS3 and no rumble, or the 360 and its lack of free online. If graphics were that important the PS2 would have failed and the DS with it, but none of those things ever happened, so maybe you need to reasses how you judge your games.

» Size as important as graphics... wahahahaha
"Graphically RE4 was the GameCube's swansong and to be honest even if the Wii is only 10% better than that, I'm sure a large portion of gamers could live with that for more than just 5 years."
We could be amazed and happy with SNES graphics in the 16 bits era and that doesn't mean they would have made us happy during another 5 years during the PSX-N64 era. And don't compare the difference between PS2 and the other two with the difference between Wii and its rivals in graphics, because this time it's a whole generation. *****ing hell, the damned thing doesn't even have digital output or HD support. XTS lacking free online? Hahaha, good one. Let's see first if what the other two do deserves to be called 'online'. At least Sony tried hard with the PS2 and now have that experience, something that Nintendo can't say.
Wii is a machine of the past generation with a new controller. It's like taking the Slim PS2 and sell it again with a controller with motion and position sensors. Whatever Wii is succesful or not, there will be Wii Advance in 2 years, because Wii's technology is simply not enough. The only difference is that, if Wii is succesful, people will be happy of having a Wii Advance (except for those who expected 4 years of new games for their Wii) and if it's not, Nintendo will lose more prestige than Sega did.

» Uugh...
I hated how Nintendo marketed the GC as a itsy bitsy thing compared to other consoles... If they do this time around they'll be total hippocrites... Because Nintendo always says it's about the gameplay and all that junk, but if they use this and an offensive marketing ploy, I will be mad... Because whatever console is bigger or smaller, it's the one that make me want the games that wins me over... I'd Choose a Xbox over a GC (have both) even though it's as big as a bathtub (exageration) because I preffered many of the games...

the ps3 is big ,but if you really want the good ***** i guess u need to get the big cahona. the big the system the better the graphics more harware under the hood.the wii i have too admit looks pretty sexy. i could bring it in a binder. you get what you pay for i guess. $600 = a big hulking powerful machine. $250= a sleek and sexy and also power ful but not as power ful as ps3 .

Does anyone know, if the psu is internal in the Wii? Because we already know that PS3 has the psu inside, and that is the primary reason it is so big.
Do you remember the huge size of the external (aka "brick") psu for the xbox2?
We usally never bother to consider the psu (if it is external) when we compare the console cases. And for the most part, the comparison of just the cases, is enough.
But if you want to be fair the whole console (console + psu if it is external) should be in the comparison. The psu is a necessary part, for the console to power on. Yes, the controller is also necessary part of the console if you want to use the console, but i'm not talking about the usage. Even if you can't see the brick of xbox2, that doesn't mean that the brick doesn't consume space somewhere. The PStwo is extremely small, but it has a big external psu.

rember back in the day when all the sony and nintendo fanboys were like "dont buy a xbox because its so big" and "ahhhh my xbox fell on my baby and crushed it!!!" now the ps3 is the biggest console so all the sony fanboys have of coursed changed their opinions to "size doesnt matter, its the power" but wasnt the xbox the most powerful, and the biggest last gen and you hated it because it was big?

» hmmm
lets take a look at the dimension of the ps3 (according to ps3's site) and the 360 (according to xbox's site)
WxHxD
(all measurments in inches)
PS3:12.78 x 3.86 x 10.787
xbox360:10.16 x 3.27 x 11.61
that means if you buy a ps3 you are taking up ALOT more space than an xbox 360. i thought my 360 was big but the ps3 is going to be massive in terms of volume it takes up.

its already been mentioned a few times that the lower half holder of the wii is its power supply, so in the pic u actually see both the console and the psu for the wii. making it a hell of alot smaller then the ps3

» the truth
i just have to say, for all of u who are dissing the ps3 about its size and those of u who are calling the wii a joke, SHUT THE !@#$ UP! the truth is, when u compare them both on the technical level, every sane person will say that ps3 is superior. the only real reason why people prefer the wii is because it's 400 dollars cheaper. if u have the 600 dollars, get the ps3, if not, get the wii.

Dude, even if I had the money, I'm not stupid enough to go waste it just because I have it. I could buy the Wii for cheaper, get better gameplay and go buy myself some games or a video card for my computer on top of that with 600 bucks.
