]]> <![CDATA[Size It: PlayStation 3 vs. Xbox 360 vs. Wii vs. Nintendo NES]]> Based on recent online poll, Wii is leading the pack, leaving xbox 360 and Playstation 3 for 2nd and 3rd. Apparently, people enjoy the wii unique controllers and reasonable price as opposed to Xbox 360 and PS3 High-Definition features of the other 2.

]]> <![CDATA[Size It: PlayStation 3 vs. Xbox 360 vs. Wii vs. Nintendo NES]]> the PS3 is gonna be the pudgey little kid in class that everyone laughs at. haha.

it's true though, it isnt about the measurements. it's about which system has the best games because nobody is going to buy an advanced system and let it sit on their shelf because there are no good games for it. Nintendo knows how to keep it real with their games. They keep it fun, and i think that's gonna be a driving factor. Expecially because 26 of those games will be available at launch, compared to Sony's what, 2 that you could get with your game in Japan?

cokemusic10910

]]> <![CDATA[Size It: PlayStation 3 vs. Xbox 360 vs. Wii vs. Nintendo NES]]> It's not about the measurements. It's about which system will have the best games - and that will be driven by which system sells the best early on. Check out this site, which compares daily sales stats of XBox 360 vs. Wii vs. PS3:

http://www.gamesystemwars.com

Clearly, XBox 360 has a massive lead. I suspect the tables will turn by late Q4. If they don't by early 2007, PS3 and Wii will have a hard time catching up.

]]> <![CDATA[Size It: PlayStation 3 vs. Xbox 360 vs. Wii vs. Nintendo NES]]> What are the measurements in milliliters? Clearly that's the only true measure - none of these things are actually squared-edge.

And I can't help but giggle softly at the idea of stacking anything on anything anymore. Dollars to donuts says Sony's warranty states that if you don't keep the thing in the fridge, you don't get to return it for anything ever.

DocGonzo

]]> <![CDATA[Size It: PlayStation 3 vs. Xbox 360 vs. Wii vs. Nintendo NES]]> PS3 is slightly bigger than the XBOX? Yes, but you're talking millimeters here and there. I'd show you the lineup I put on Sizeasy (all in mm), but the website crashed on me and lost all the crap I took the time to look up and type in.

Playstation 3 = 325m x 274m x 98m
XBOX 360 = 309mm x 258mm x 83mm
XBOX = 320mm x 260mm x 101mm
Playstation 2 = 301mm x 178mm x 78mm
Playstation 2 Slim = 230mm x 152mm x 28mm

I don't care if i have to get a server rack to put these badboys in, if they perform well, that should speak for itself.

I ain't a little guy, so i don't want a dainty little console. I want something with a little meat on the bone.

That being said, I will again wait to see the quality of titles that come out and let my schmuk friends buy them before i commit to one console love.

I'm thinking of controller cord length. If the console is in a magic cabinet and the cord of the controller isn't long enough it has to come out of the magic cabinet in order to play....

This won't matter if al new consoles come with or you can buy wireless controllers for them. Like I said I have bought or play a console since NES.

iPhoneGroupie

]]> <![CDATA[Size It: PlayStation 3 vs. Xbox 360 vs. Wii vs. Nintendo NES]]> Butch, with consoles getting as powerful as they are, you really shouldn't be stacking them anyway. Adequate ventilation is about as important as electricity itself today. I can only imagine that even if the PS3 was a perfect rectangle, stacking stuff on top of it would just be a ba-ad idea. And isn't the '360 prone to overheating as well? Or has that been addressed/fixed somehow? I really don't know. I'm saving my money for the Wii. Point is, though, stackability shouldn't be considered, because it isn't an option you should be considering anyway. =)

]]> <![CDATA[Size It: PlayStation 3 vs. Xbox 360 vs. Wii vs. Nintendo NES]]> Just how much living-room cabinet space are you going to have to sacrifice when you purchase a PlayStation 3 instead of a Nintendo Wii?

Jeezus! Hey, let's whine about the PS3's glossy finish too! You know if the sun shines through your window and glares off that black finish just right, it could blind your babies! Sony hates children! I mean...WTF?!!?

12.6 in wide x 10.2 deep x 4 in high so the PS3 is slightly bigger.

KsprayDad

]]> <![CDATA[Size It: PlayStation 3 vs. Xbox 360 vs. Wii vs. Nintendo NES]]> I haven't owned (or really played) a console since NES. But unless these new consoles only come with wireless controllers (which I know the WII does) then the console will have to be taken out of the cabinet to play it, right?

]]> <![CDATA[Size It: PlayStation 3 vs. Xbox 360 vs. Wii vs. Nintendo NES]]> It's what you do with it that counts.

strider_mt2k

]]> <![CDATA[Size It: PlayStation 3 vs. Xbox 360 vs. Wii vs. Nintendo NES]]> Ummm... what about the big Nintendo stick that sits in front of your telly? Think that one should count a bit too.

I like the idea of putting my Wii in with my DVD collection next to my telly instead of with all my laserdisc players n such.

Thing about the PS3 is that it aint stackable really. That curvy roof means it has to sit on top. The xbox360 suffers from this a wee bit, but not so much that u can't put other stuff on top. Then again, most previous consoles (not xbox) seem to have that toploading thing going on. Ugh.

Personally, I like how my chess set stacks with my Cluedo and twister in my cupboard under my stair.

]]> <![CDATA[Size It: PlayStation 3 vs. Xbox 360 vs. Wii vs. Nintendo NES]]> So I guess this makes the PS3 the console equivalent of the Battlestar Galactica?

DeadSnake

]]> <![CDATA[Size It: PlayStation 3 vs. Xbox 360 vs. Wii vs. Nintendo NES]]> Geez, add in the Xbox 360's new dumba$$ HD-DVD player addition and lets see what system truly has the biggest footprint. I'm still waiting to see what the games for the PS3 will be like, but I still think it has the edge.

By right, the PS3 is smaller comparing it with the 360, remove the brick, remove the multi-card reader, remove the Blu-Ray HardDisk, make it external just like the 360 HD-DVD...

]]> <![CDATA[Size It: PlayStation 3 vs. Xbox 360 vs. Wii vs. Nintendo NES]]> We all know that bigger is better - As long as it doesn't sit there and suck my will to live...

]]> <![CDATA[Size It: PlayStation 3 vs. Xbox 360 vs. Wii vs. Nintendo NES]]> a wallwart is a type of brick. it is a subset. in any case the point is that it takes up a non-negligible amount of space.

Fred

]]> <![CDATA[Size It: PlayStation 3 vs. Xbox 360 vs. Wii vs. Nintendo NES]]> Wallwart != Brick. A brick goes in the middle of the cord, a wallwart f*cks up your powerstrip.

As for the "bias", you can SEE that the XBox is almost as big as the PS3, so who cares what the units are?

FlashSandbox

]]> <![CDATA[Size It: PlayStation 3 vs. Xbox 360 vs. Wii vs. Nintendo NES]]> Is it just me or is that the slimmest NES ever known to man? Mine is a lot more than 2.5" thick. Maybe they meant SNES.

Slash3

]]> <![CDATA[Size It: PlayStation 3 vs. Xbox 360 vs. Wii vs. Nintendo NES]]> This is so biased. Why is the XBOX in millimeters ? So that you don't realize that it's almost as big as the PS3 ? And so what if the console is a little bigger than the competition ? What really matters is the games and for that I'm all Playstation (by the way I have an XBOX360 too).

meaol12345

]]> <![CDATA[Size It: PlayStation 3 vs. Xbox 360 vs. Wii vs. Nintendo NES]]> The NES has a brick. Just because you put the brick at the end where the plug is doesn't mean it's not a brick.

I produced one showing the size as a form factor of 1 dollar bills (ie..how thick the stack is)...

KsprayDad

]]> <![CDATA[Size It: PlayStation 3 vs. Xbox 360 vs. Wii vs. Nintendo NES]]> The PS3 has no brick and the NES doesn't either, so after you add the bricks, the XBox is bigger, just not all in one place.

]]> <![CDATA[Size It: PlayStation 3 vs. Xbox 360 vs. Wii vs. Nintendo NES]]> Sorry, I'm confused. Does the graphic represent the size of the price tag on these systems (inflation adjusted)?

OldElvis

]]> <![CDATA[Size It: PlayStation 3 vs. Xbox 360 vs. Wii vs. Nintendo NES]]> FlashSandbox: Because that would be a measurment relative to the reader, and would require Gizmodo to have to inquire about the size of your "device" in your profile. Some folks though that might be a tad intrusive, not to mention the "divide by zero" errors your profile would then produce when converting size metrics.

]]> <![CDATA[Size It: PlayStation 3 vs. Xbox 360 vs. Wii vs. Nintendo NES]]> We couldn't dig up any new information on why the PS3 sucks, so we decided to complain about the physical dimensions of what is essentially an A/V component that is smaller than most A/V components out there? Oh, but it is slightly bigger than an Xbox 360, and much bigger than the Wii, so it has to be crap, right?

If it was the AppleStation3, we wouldn't even know the Wii existed, right? :)

Monty

]]> <![CDATA[Size It: PlayStation 3 vs. Xbox 360 vs. Wii vs. Nintendo NES]]> I love how the Xbox 360's measurements are in Metric. Why keep it simple and use inches for all 4 when you can mix it up?

Other than that it's a very useful comparison.

]]> <![CDATA[Size It: PlayStation 3 vs. Xbox 360 vs. Wii vs. Nintendo NES]]> The 'footprint' of a PS3 is still smaller than everyday A/V components and it includes the integrated powersupply.

I don't get what everyone's problem is with it.

If you want a 'portable' system buy a PSP or DS (or a Gizmondo on sale).
