Game consoles and all their dimensions

Submitted by Shane on May 29, 2006 – 7:12 pm62 Comments

Do you care to know the size of every current and next gen console out there? I know I do! Like how big is a 360 to a PS3? This is important data and must not be overseen. It looks like the PS3 is the winner by an over aged gamers nose hair, just beating out the X360 by mere micrometres. Sony wins. I feel bad for the Wii…so wee in comparison.

The MINI is there to show you have a fully powered computer with a dual DVD-R drive and if it’s designed correctly with some forethought and effort – it doesn’t have to be ginormous or require its own refridgeration unit to run the thing …

Hey Skip Tracer, you honestly think that Nintendo is paying people to post positive comments? They must have some serious dough because they basically walked out of E3 with most of the positive press. I think good, affordable technology was more likely the cause for the praise. No one is paying me to comment, and yet I’m very intrigued by this. The other systems lacked that intangible quality that Wii has. I felt like I was seeing something truly new.

Jimmy T.,

I agree, man. It’s a lot like the Eyetoy for me. I just hope they pull it off better. I mean, really, I’m sure they will. An entire game platform company, and all that, can’t really mess up something like this. But either way, I hope it’s good, ’cause the PS3 and 360 are too rich for my blood.

WoW the Mac is the smallest I never expected that

the 360 camera is gonna b the shit
Icebug

the only reason that the Mac is smaller is due to the base on the Wii
and the Wii is much thinner than the Mac
and hey, its not a Mac
lol

Lol, I’m not being payed my Nintendo to give good props to their stuff. I HATED the Gamecube. But right now, the new nextgen console race is being won by the Wii in my eyes. I can’t see myself buying a PS3, and I’m only buying a 360 for the games and multiplayer. I’m buying the Wii for a TON of reasons. And now I have a new one: size.

Do you realize that means you can fit roughly 2.5 GALLONS of water/milk/whatever into the space that the PS3 takes up? You’re going to need 2.5 gallon containers’ worth of room for that thing. My entertainment system is crying… Guess I’ll have to wait for the redesigned PS3… uh… 2.

well personally size doesnt matter but its nice to have a small console. i use my TV as a monitor so its on my computer desk. therefore i like to have as much space as possible on my desk the Wii is a perfect sixe for it.

another good thing is the portability. with the Wii you could get a laptop carry bag the size of PS3 and fit the Wii, controllers, cables and games.

I have a 360 and carrying it with its powerbrick is pain in the ass usually i have to use a laptop bag and a 360 carrying case so i can carry it and 4 controllers
Im not sure but have we seen the power brick of the wii or the ps3
ps3 might not have as big of one because the insides could have a surge protector built in
wii will most likely have one

also the wii has a sensor bar people called its a long stick that is fragile

Im going to be buying the wii and another stinkin laptop case but it will carry the wii and all of its crap

If i bought a ps3 I’d have to buy like a ps3 carrying case(360 one is too small) and atleast one laptop bag

Nintendo has such awesome hardware people. They really make the console itself art.

You really think the GameCube is that good?

How sad is now to remember PS2 fans bashing the original Xbox for its size. Now the successor is not only bigger than the old “XBrick” but it also weights 2 more pounds.

Some would say: “Size does matter”

Problem with the original XBox was that it was UGLY and not made to stand vertical. The PS3 might be big, but at least it has the PSU build in and it looks nice too..

The PS3 looks kinda like my scanner. It should still sell in Japan if it has Square Enix support, but I’m not sure how it will do in the US.

OMG!!! I want the ps3.. I heard from this guy that it can stand on it’s side!!! dat pwns!.

It is very funny how the ps3 fan boys make excuses. Oh we hated the xbox because it was big. What the ps3 is going to be bigger than the xbox 360? Well, it stands on it’s side. Did I mention that the origional xbox was ugly?

You guys need to stop being little babies. I chose the xbox because I like racing games, fps’s and sports games. Some of you chose the ps2 because of the rpg’s and some franchises. Good for you. I’m happy that you found something that you like. I bought the xbox 360 for a couple reasons. I knew that alot of my favorite franchise would be comming to it (forza motorsport). And I heard of alot of amazing games that are only coming to xbox 360 (dead rising, alan wake(pc too), test drive unlimited, gears of war, table tennis, condemned(pc too)). If I liked first party games from sony, I would have bought a ps3. Maybe some day when it is $200-$300 I will pick one up. If say, they make a new katamari demacy for it and gt5 is really cheap.

Any ways, back to console sizes. I bought the origional xbox because of the games, not the enormous size. I don’t want a ps3 now, because of the games, not the size. Anyone who looks to a console’s size as an excuse to not buy it really is a fucking moron. (No offense to anyone here)

does anyone think that the ps3 is just plain UGLY??? i think it is big, bulky, and looks like the kid in first grade with the helmet.

just to add…i have old VCRs that are better looking than the ps3!!
VCRs!!!!
i am a huge ps fan, but they have lost me this round with $$$ and size. i dont understand what went wrong in that design department. too many people obviously had their hands in the design. it lacks everything that sony products are expected to have (with the exception of overpriced and cruddy components)

It’s true about size and Japanese apartments. I live in Tokyo in a 22.4 sq. meter apartment. I don’t have a TV. Just two laptops. If someone gave me an old analog TV, I couldn’t accept it because I’d have no practical place to put it, unless in the middle of my floor. At least if someone gave me an LCD TV I could mount it on the wall.

That’s why I have a DS Lite as well. Perfect match for the amount of personal space the average single person in Tokyo has.
its all good

ps3 games look good but the price {$500-$600 as for me im going to buy the xbox 360 {$300-$400} and maybe the wii if its under $180.00

Ah, the elitist VS the fanboy bullshit is alive and well, I see. Personally I like to try something before I get so defensive about it.
