THE NEXT GENERATION IN VIDEOGAMES

I. Introduction
Introductory statements

All my life i´ve been a videogames hardcore fan, being a proud owner of a Nintendo (NES), a Super Nintendo, a PlayStation (PSX), a Sega Dreamcast, and most recently, a Playstation 2 (PS2).

Thesis statement

Now, I have the chance to move on the next generation of videogames, so I have to decide between Nintendo´s Wii , Microsoft´s XBOX 360 or Sony´s Playstation 3 (PS3). Next are the plus and minus of each one.

II. Body
First supporting idea

WII: This console is the cheaper of all, besides it has the most innovating control system based on the movement of the user´s body.

Transition, topic sentence

It has a free online game collection and can read backup games, also known as pirate games. I have to explain that I don´t support piratery, but with the dollars restriction, it´s very expensive import original games, so it aspect must be consider. You can find this pirate games in 35 BsF.

Discussion, examples, and analysis

However, the Wii has the worst catalogue of the next generation consoles, with a lot of childish games. It has a very good licensed games sagas, as Mario Bros, The Legend of Zelda, Metroid, Donkey Kong and others, none of them have innovated enough to be considered next generation games. It only have improved in the control aspect.

Conclusion (optional)

Finally, I don´t know, my idea of videogames is to relax, and I don’t precisely relax by moving my body after a hard university day. Wii out.

Second supporting idea

XBOX 360: This console has the best game catalog, and it is based on first person shooters, one of my favorites genres

Transition, topic sentence

It also can read back up games, and has the best online service, but is not free.

Discussion, examples, and analysis

The biggest BUT of XBOX 360 is that it has a hardware problem that leads to overheating that makes the console´s breaks. This problem has not been fixed, and every XBOX 360 unit has almost a 30% of fail sooner o later. In Venezuela Microsoft doesn´t have technical support, so if you buy a XBOX and its breaks, you have to buy a new one.

Conclusion (optional)

I don’t want to spend 2000 BsF in a console that coul die in any minute. XBOX 360 is the second to fall.

Third supporting idea

PS3: PS3 is the latest of the next generation consoles.

Transition, topic sentence

It can read Blu-Ray movies, the successor of DVD. The Blu-Ray disc has bigger capacity than DVD, so it can lead to bigger and most detailed games. It has the best video and sound ouput of all and its online service is free, but it has the minor game catalog of all.

Discussion, examples, and analysis

The contras of the PS3 is that it only can read original games, that cost between 250 – 350 BsF, and it’s the most expensive of all, at the point that you can almost buy a Wii and a XBOX 360 for the price of a PS3.

III. Conclusion

Transition, statement reflecting back on thesis

Conclusion: Definitely I don’t like Wii. And with XBOX 360 I have the chance to lose my money without refunds. PS3 its expensive and don’t have (yet) big games, but Sony has the license of my three favorite games sagas: Final Fantasy, God of War and Metal Gear Solid.
Conclusion: Definitely I don’t like Wii. And with XBOX 360 I have the chance to lose my money without refunds. PS3 its expensive and don’t have (yet) big games, but Sony has the license of my three favorite games sagas: Final Fantasy, God of War and Metal Gear Solid. Yes, the games are very expensive, but if you choose wisely you can buy 3 or 4 games in a year and enjoy it, and always you can share games with friends.

Restate key points

I have had great time with PSX an PS2, there is no reason for doubt of PS3.
