Question

i need 2 no which one has better games and stuff

and yea i want xbox cuz of halo 3

Answer 1

Well if you want to get a 360 because of Halo 3 then get the 360 however if you haven't already preordered the game you might have to wait for a while. The EB Games in my area have been sold out of preorders for months now and people are still hoping that there may be extras. It's something you may want to consider if your getting a 360 (especially saving up while you're waiting for a 360 Elite)

Answer 2

One isn't better than the other. Its just what the buyer wants. I was between a 360 or a Wii, I went 360 cause i like playing online and Wii doesn't have many online games out yet. 360 would have more games cause its been out longer. Wii is more of a family and friends system.

Answer 3

I own both, so here is what I think.

Xbox 360 has some really good games.
But with the Wii, you have much more option.
You can get regualr Wii games and play those, but with a Wii, you can hook it up to your internet and buy older games!
If you were a Super Nintento, or Nintendo 64 or a Sega fan...you can get all those games...Donkey Kong, Zelda. All the old fashion games are VERY cheap.

It all depends on what you like.

Answer 4

I'll compare only Xbox 360 and PS3, coz Wii is very weak.
Almost a third of XBOX 360 are malfunctioning right from the start. PS3 return rate is only around 3%.
Let's compare them

PS3 has 8 kernels in Cell processor, Xbox 360 -only 3x2
PS3 uses advanced tech called Blu-Ray, one disc can store up to 50 gb (in the future - up to 200 gb), Xbox 360 - regular dual DVD (9.5 gb).
Calculations per sec - PS3 - 51-billion-dot-product-operati... per second
Xbox 360 - 33.6-billion-dot-product-opera... per second
PS3 has full media support - USBs, built-in card reader (except 20 gb version), ability to use printer and so on.
Xbox 360 has USBs and only 2 memory slots.
PS3 supports up to 7 Bluetooth Controllers
Xbox 360 - up to 4 Controllers
PS3 - wi-fi included (except 20 gb version)
Xbox 360 - wi-fi will cost you around 100 $

Xbox 360 is widely known for so-called "red ring of doom" problem - it gets overheated easily. My PS3 was running for more than 8 hours non-stop with no problems. Sometimes Xbox 360 becomes so overheated, that thermopaste on CPU melts, drips on motherboard and successfully shortcircuits it.

Besides all of this, I've seen disassembled Xbox 360 - regular PC architecture - Billy Gates is a uninventive nerd (as usual).
When I saw disassembled PS3 - it was a surprise - smart architecture, good cooling (don't buy external PS3 coolers - they make everything worse - original system is good), etc.

In 2008 we'll get more than 300 games, including Metal Gear Solid 4.

In some countries people call Xbox 360 "Coffin 360".

Answer 5

Well...the Xbox 360 has more action games. But personally I like the Wii better because it is more interactive. It all depends on what you like :].

Answer 6

definetly the xbox 360. The Wii is more for the family.

Answer 7

The xbox has more action games and more mature games. The wii, while fun, doesn't have very realistic games, or many good shooters. It's mostly for kids.

Answer 8

for now i'd say the xbox coz halo 3 is coming out but the wii is alright too

Answer 9

xbox 360 is way better wii sucks

Answer 10

xbox all the way
both are good but xbox is better and halo 3 is coming out soon so u should get that
