They probably won't release the game on '3rd Gen' consoles, Unless, the game on Wii sells really good. Just to make a game for the Xbox 360 or PS3 costs alot of money, Sidhe aren't a company with that kind of money to spend.

I hope one comes out, but I really can't see it. Too little demand internationally, just hoping the Wii game will be good. Bit fed up of the old Ps2 gameplay

I'd of certainly thought there would have been more PS3/Xbox players wanting Rugby League 3 than Wii.

Well I have a Wii, but there's no way I'm buying RL for the Wii, same as there being no chance I would get the old PS2 out to play RL:WC.

Until they release a newer version for PC or PS3, they won't get a penny off me. I don't want to play a newer version of a game I played 5 years ago, I want a new one with better graphics and better game play.

May sound harsh, but in the current days were you can get graphics like on Fifa and Madden, then I'm not being too harsh.

Well, that's a fair enough opinion, but it's not like you have the choice. Same as the next Mario game, that won't be on the PS3 either.

The thing that gets me is that everyone is so keen on maximum exposure for Rugby League the sport, yet people seem equally keen to slash the potential sales of a Rugby League game by around 70 percent by "demanding" it be released on a minority console like the PS3.



Who's to say there won't be an option to play via Gamecube or classic controllers?

Incidentally, the PS3 has finally been "hacked", meaning 1 of 2 things could now happen: Dev and licencing costs may either fall, or they may soar.

One thing's for sure, if they do fall, that saving won't be passed on to the buying public, but if they go up expect Neo-Geo prices to apply (£70-£100 per game).

More people have a Wii. It's not about which is the "best" console, it's purely the fact that the Wii has outsold the PS3 by more than 2 to 1 and the XBox360 by almost 2 to 1. FACT - Sony have just sold their 3 millionth PS3. The XBox360 had a year's start on the PS3 and sold 3.9m by the end of 2009. Nintendo have sold 6 million Wiis to the end of 2009, despite giving the 360 a 9 month head start.



Whichever console they decide to release on, they will be releasing it "on a console that not everyone has", the BIG difference is there are twice as many Wiis out there to market to.



Yes, so does the Wii. 100% FREE.



They might, but look back to the days of Sinclair / Commodore / Amstrad etc... I'd rather play a GOOD game than one with flashy graphics and plays like a slug. Just out of interest, what TV do you use with your PS3? Make and Model number if you can, please.



AGAIN, it's all about numbers. If Sidhe want to develop for just one console, it may be a "stupid" decision, it may be a highly scrutinised and risk-analysed decision. But if you're only going to release for one console, do you pick the ultra-expensive and comparitively unpopular PS3 and hope people will pay the resultant extortionate asking price, or go for sales in volume on the most popular console and see how it goes, because if it sells while enough, it could well finance a future release on the PS3. Thankfully the state of the computer game market these days mean that you can always "trade-in" when the version you actually WANT is released.



Not sure what you mean here. Who release a controller? I'm talking about the ones you can already use with the Wii, i.e. one of thesehttp://bayviewcomputerconsulting.com/joelv/images/GameCube_Controller.jpg" >

or one of thesehttp://gagekun.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/wiiClassicController.jpg" >

And no, I'm not trying to patronise, I'm just making sure I'm completely clear about what I'm talking about.

tbh rugby league is mainly confined to the north of england, how many people down south have even heard of rugby league and i bet that with people in london been on everage more wealthy than ppl up here they have wiis, how many ppl will buy rugby league 3. It probably wont make a difference what console they brink it out on, personally i would of prefered it to be out on the ps3 and xbox 360 but then again your points are valid and i respect that

RESPECT!!!

I hate the "it's free" argument. Sony don't charge anything for their online service and I am perfectly happy to pay £26 for a 12month XBOX Live subscription because it really is THAT good. For the price of £26 you are getting way more hours of content/entertainment than any one Wii retail game will give you for the same price.

I have played a number of games online on Wii such as Mario Kart, Smash Bros., The Conduit and Medal of Honor and the level of interactivity is the equivelent of playing against Bots, except playing bots would be better as you wouldn't run into hackers.


You can play RL3 and many other games with a Cube controller
The controllers are good, essential for Virtual Console games, but also very useful for Mario Kart Wii.

At the end of the day, I'm glad it's coming out on Wii because it will give the most people the chance to own it, I'll be able to own and play it, the only reason I might not buy it is if it turns out to be crap.
