What should I buy, what one is better? PS3, Wii, XBOX360?

Question

I am going to get one but I do not know the one to get. Please help.

Answer 1

It really depends what you're looking for in a game system.

Graphically, they're pretty much all the same. The games available for all of them are also pretty much the same (except for the Wii--more on that below). And it would also depend on your budget. PS3 is most expensive, followed by 360, and cheapest is the Wii.

The 360 is much better for online gaming. XboxLive is well established. The PS3 is online capable but Sony hasn't done much in the way of support for it. The Wii's online gaming is pretty dismal right now, but Nintendo is working on it.

If you accept Sony's claim that Blu-Ray is the video format of the future, and plan on using your game system to watch movies on, then the PS3 is the way to go. But remember Betamax? Sony thought that would work too. The 360 has an HD DVD player available for it. Sorry, but I'm unsure of the Wii's video capabilities.

The Wii is the ultimate party game system. With it's new controllers and party-type games, it is a whole lot of fun. Nintendo has some great game franchises that are perfect for parties (think Mario Kart). The nunchaku controller will keep you moving around as you play. A lot. Playing the bowling game that comes with it is like going down to the local alley and throwing 10 frames. Granted, it's a 2 oz. controller, not a heavy bowling ball.

Personally, I would have to go with the 360 as my first system. It's cheaper than the PS3 and will have most the games I'm interested in. Sony is slowly losing it's exclusive franchises. But I do miss Final Fantasy...

I'm definetely going to buy a Wii as a second system though. There is too much interesting stuff going on with it to not have one. It's cheap enough to warrant having it in addition to a 360 or PS3.

Hopefully I've said something here that helps you. I would also recommend buying a couple of gaming magazines and seeing what they have to say about these systems. It's a big investment, some good research would be advisable.

Answer 2

Well Ps3 is a no becuase it has even less production about half and cost about 3 times more. Xbox360 is a good system with great games and great graphics. However I would suggest a wii because it is a virtual console. I mean think would you rather be pushing buttons or slash and swinging your arms. Plus a wii has more production even though there is still little production. It's only 250 compared to a ps3 which is 600 and Xbox 360 which is 300. I strongly suggest a wii to find out when shops like EB are getting a shipment check ps3seeker.com/wii

Answer 3

It depends on what you want, wii is more price efficent, is E heavy, and simpler to learn the controls. So if your looking for a good family consol, or somthing any guest can play, wii is for you. The PS3 has really good stats proscessing, graphics, ect. And comes with blue ray dvd player (which is a risk, if the HD DVD beats blue ray, you find many compatable dvds). All of this comes with the highest price however. The lineup seems more T heavy than the others. So if you have an older familly, or your getting it for your self, and you don't mind investing a lot more money, the PS3 is for you. The xbox 360 has good stats close to the ps3, for a smaller price tag. It has an advantag, being out longer, of a bigger library, which has shown to be a lot more M heavy than the others. So if you like gut spewing FPS's, than the Xbox 360 is for you.

Answer 4

The Wii is cheaper, it has better graphics, and it has more opportunities. However, the games are very expensive. In my own personal opinion, the Wii is better. Wait until the PS3 and/or XBOX prices go down, it'll be worth it. Or you can buy the Wii now.

Answer 5

xbox 360 is better but some times it freeze.it is for adult people because the games have a lot of gore.the wii is the second best it is for kids and retro gamer because most of it's games are for kids.
