Answer 2

Oh.. My.. GOD!!

I can't take it anymore.

The only valid argument against the Wii I've heard yet is that the graphics aren't specfreakintacular. If graphics are deal-breaker for you, don't bother.

The Wii is being marketed for everyone, not exclusively children and the elderly. Point me towards the Grannies playing Red Steel or the toodler playing Call of Duty 3. Simply for not completely excluding entire demographics, it gets called a kid's system.

It doesn't give you a workout and the Surgeon General isn't about to start recomending everyone buy a Wii instead of doing step arobics. All it takes to generate actions is a flick of your wrist. I've said it before and it deserves to be said again. If you can't manage that, you've got bigger problems than which system you should pick up.

Now, I haven't called anyone out on the fact that XBox players are all ADHD kids who stood in the same place for more than ten minutes, for the first time since birth, when the 360 was released because they think a $300 system is totally worth it to play Halo 3.

I didn't say anything about Sony fans being the unfortunate result of a society that believes that if no one is being killed, nothing's happening and that the PS3 is really just another example of all the Special Effects in the world to draw you away from it's morbidly over-used themes and content so preditable you could set a clock by it.

I haven't said these things up until now. Why? Because they're unfair generalizations that by no means apply to either of these groups of people, if anyone at all. If I can express myself without calling anyone that disagrees with me children, surely you all can too.

So knock-it off. If you can think of something logical to say, great. I love information. But all this 'kiddy' system and 'too much effort' crap is getting real old and I'm pretty fed up with every completely substanceless argument being parroted over and over by people that can't think for themselves.

This is not an attack on anyone who posted, just something I'm tired of hearing about.

Now, to answer the question.

If you have a PS2, like it, and have the cash get a PS3. I'm sure it's exactly what you're looking for. The Wii is nothing like your PS2, so if that's the experince you're looking for, the Wii would be a total waste of money.

Infact, it's a straight one or the other sort of thing, get the PS3. Unless you're really unsatisfied with your PS2, you probably won't like the Wii as much as you'll like the PS3.

The PS3 is radicaly superior to the PS2 in all mesurable ways.

Answer 3

The Wii is simply fun, the PS3 is simply power. Right now, the PS3 doesn't have a lot of good games becuase developers are still getting used to blu-ray. In about a year the PS3 will most likely be the best system of the 3. But if you want whichever is better currently, I'd go with Wii.

Answer 4

I would get the Wii. The PS3 is too expensive. It's also coming out with a lot of the same titles as 360, which is less expensive.
Everyone keeps talking about how Nintendo releases childish games. Well, of course that's their target audience. And it's not like you can't have fun with a "childish" game from time to time. And everyone fails to mention that the Wii also has Call of Duty 3, Red Steel, Resident Evil, etc. and those will be really interesting to play with the wiimote or the gun version of the wiimote (I think it's called the zapper).

Answer 5

I would get a Wii....Unless you have an HDTV the value of the PS3 is about zero. Think about this.....when DVD players originally came out they were around $500, and what do they cost now? The PS3 is only as expensive as it is because they put a blue-ray player on it. Without that it would most likely cost less than the XBOX 360. If you want to waste your money on something that has to have a dramatic price drop within 2 years go for it, but I would put my money with the Wii.

Answer 6

Wii cause it's unique and easy, also the PS3 it too expensive and still has defects. I have the PS2 also, and I want the Wii. PS3 is kind of the same but not really also. I'd rather spend money on something that doesn't have defects.

Answer 8

i would go for the wii, the main reason for that is because i like everything Nintendo does. But think i can back it up... Nintendo is starting to rear away from the PlayStation and xbox companies. because they are going for new and interesting ways to play games not only go for amazing graphics. they came out with the wireless controller first (i think) then the Nintendo DS and its duel screen and now the wii with its new and innovative way of game play. The xbox and PS company are now competing for better graphics, i think xbox is gana die and give halo to PlayStation. while Nintendo is coming out with a virtual video game without a motion sensitive controller. if you like graphics and long fun games then get the PS3. If u like innovative and creative ways of game play, like Mario and super smash brothers and easy access to Internet then get a wii (don't get a 360)

Answer 9

You know what? I thought of getting the PS3 as well. Until they only gave stores in my area only a few of the game consoles. I was so mad! How can they treat there loyal customers and gamers that way? It's like going to a bunch of starving people and having only a handful of food for some of them. I am kind of "striking" against them right now.

Answer 10

I'm gonna wait awhile, but I will definitely get the PS3 if that's the only system that Final Fantasy 13 comes out on..
