what is the best of the 3 game units, 360, ps3 or wii?

Answer 1

In all honesty each system has its own merits to consider. I believe there is no "best" overall, just best for personal tastes.

360: Has more games available for next-gen and has been market tested being out for over a year now. Graphics are very good and the controls are decent (always liked the more trigger like buttons then they have on ps2/ps3). Content wise is more suited to mature gamers with exceptions such as Viva Pinata, and the children's games like Cars and Open Season. Tag on a genre to the system, those who like shooters and sports will be more open to the Xbox 360 then the others.

PS3: This system boasts high end graphics like the 360 but fall short in some aspects. While it does support a higher resolution then the 360 can with HD and a built-in HDMI connection, the 360 is getting a patch in a time to support the higher 1080p/i. Though in honesty no system looks the best when it launches so cannot be easily compared to the 360 till the PS3 has had at least a year of development. They stuck with same basic design as the PS2's Dual Shock controllers though they removed the vibration to add there own motion control dubbed "Sixaxis".(To my, and many other gamers disappointment). With built in Blue-Ray technology it allows for high-def movies out of the box and comes cheaper then a standard on the market Blue-Ray player. Though many people think Blue-Ray will go the way of UMD movies (its too early to tell till it becomes a more prominent media) the bright side is since the system is default with the player, all PS3 disks can contain much greater data sizes compared to a standard DVD that the 360 uses. If you placed a genre to the PS3 it would be medium, focusing on sports but adding alot of action adventure and RPG's that the 360 lacks (or at least will within the year of the systems launch.)

Wii: Nintendo's new system is hard to compare to the other two. PS3 and 360 are much more graphic intensive, boasting true Next-Generation graphics. They are powerful high tech equipment that can rival some super computers. The Wii on the other hand uses more current and past technology, such as utilizing the Gamecube's basic tech and upgrading it slightly. The graphics, while cant compare to the other two are good in there own right. What sets the Wii apart is its next-gen game play. The Wiimote and the nunchuck attachment are fully motion sensitive, and while they only have 3 axis compared to the PS3's 6 axis, the Wii is gonna use much more motion since most games will be designed around it. Nintendo made the system so that doing other gaming types, such as playing baseball, shooting a gun, swinging a sword, driving a car, feels more natural then previous "button mashing" games have been in the past. With only a few buttons on either controller, most games will be free-form in terms of control. Also the Wii is the only 100% true backwards compatible next-gen system. it can play every gamecube title, and has 4 gamecube controller ports, 2 GC memory ports. It can use all accessories minus 3: Gameboy Player, Modem Adapter, Broadband adapter. But it does come default with a built in wireless network (similar to the DS's wifi). It comes with the least memory then the ps3 or 360 with only 512megs of internal flash memory but has an expandable SD flash memory stick port on the front. (Though nintendo game saves never were too large). Also the Wii will boast the Virtual Console, the ability to download NES, SNES, N64, Sega Genesis, and TurboGraph 16x games, with 30 titles of Virtual console games available at launch and more to come that's pretty decent, though it will cost $5 to $10 to download per game based on its platform. Also N64 downloaded games will not feature rumble support. To rate the genre of the Wii its more of an everyone system. Boasting more children games then the other two, it is slowly expanding from being a "kids" system to a much more wide open with the addition of The Godfather, Splinter Cell Double Agent, Need for Speed Carbon, Mortal Kombat Armageddon, Far Cry instincts, and Red Steel (all but the last coming in the next few months).

So that's a quick run down on the three systems and you can decide what you think will be the better one to yourself. Myself i like the Wii the most. I owned a 360 and played the PS3 demo unit where i work so have had experiences with all of them.

Hope this helps.

Answer 2

well i think that the wii and 360 are the best. im getting them for my b-day and hannukah i think that the PS3 is an overpriced version of the PS3. the wii has the awesome controler and the 360 has a ton of games and will be easier to get. the PS3 thought will be very hard to get and u might have to wait till like march or something like that or u shouldve camped out. but all of this depends on what u like. i think u should get a wii and a 360 because together they are like almost the same price as a PS3. hope this helps

Answer 3

I personally think the Nintendo Wii is the best. It is now Virtual Reality. And the graphics are as good as a PS2. Im getting a Wii before and XBox360 or PS3. And, The Wii's price is alot cheaper too. PS3-$600, XBox360-$400, Wii-$250. The Wii's games are cheaper too, and also you can go online and play PS3 games, XBox360 games, SNES, NES, Nintendo 64, and the Wii is compatable with GameCube games. The Wii's my choice. Also, you can download updates to games even when the system is turned off! How Cool!!! Get the Wii, it's better
