Which is better, Xbox 360 or wii?

Question

I need some openions on this one! I think xbox is better.

Answer 1

Xbox360 and Wii are different platforms.

Wii is a different a new experience for mostly family and kids, but there are games for hardcore gamers and such. Wii uses a motion-sensor remote, so when you move or swing your remote, what is on your tv moves too. It's good for exsercising if your lazy and so, but it's mostly for family.

Xbox 360 is different than the Wii, it's mostly for hardcore gamers. But, yes it is better than the Wii in my opinion, better graphics, better games.

It all depends on you like.
If you want to play with your friends, or family, get the Wii.
If you want to play top shooter games like Halo or Call of Duty, then get the Xbox 360.

+ Xbox 360 has a online gameplay where you could play with other people everywhere in the world.
Wii has internet too, so if you don't have a computer, get the wii.. Good for online surfing.

Answer 2

Wii sucks nuts, my cousin bought, one. the games are annoying, and the motion sensitive wiimotes keep freaking out on her.

The Wii is mostly for kids and family oriented games.

360 kicks @$$, the graphics are amazing, the Elite 360 comes with 120 GB of memory and you can download tons of free videos on your favorite video games, display themes for your console's background,

Xbox LIVE is the greatest online experience you'll ever encounter,
I've played online with the PlayStation, and contantly having to register yourself and pray that your screen name hasn't been taken game by game is a chore and annoying.

With the Wii you need a "Friend code" from your friend, it's basically an IP address its like 16-20 digits that you have to remember just to link up to your friend.

Answer 3

I have the wii and i am going to get the 360 for christmas. I got the Wii in may and i got bored of it in july and i never play it any more, and all my friends get bored also so i would not recomend it. I can not get enough of the 360!!!

Answer 4

i have them both

xbox is good for first person shooters, online play, and it has halo 3!
wii is for fun [not that the xbox isnt fun, its very fun] and it has super smash bros brawl coming out in february

downsides
xbox can melt parts of itself off, then youll have to send it to microsoft to get fixed, and youll be waiting about a month-6weeks b4 you get it back

wii- 512mb of memory not even 1gb
majority of the games are terrible
there are about 5 good ones

Answer 5

I would go with the wii, not only because I'm a big fan of Nintendo games, but because eventhough it has the worst graphics from the 3, it has the best gameplay, which I think is way more important because you're actually having fun with the games and not just being amused by its graphics.

Answer 6

This is my cut and paste answer. The reason for that is because a tech info is a tech info, you can't beat it (sources below).

PS3 will win the console war, no doubt. Xbox 360 and Wii are so weak from technological point of view, that in couple of years they won't be capable of dealing with serious graphics. GTA IV, for instance, isn't even announced for Wii - this toy won't be able to cope with the game's requirements. Xbox 360 is getting GTA IV, however, the game is going to be released on several DVDs - Xbox 360 owners will have to interrupt gaming process and switch discs (Rockstar complained about this issue). Only PS3 will have it on single BD-DVD.

Let's compare PS3 and XBOX 360:

1). A third of XBOX 360 (33%) are malfunctioning right from the start. PS3 return rate is only around 0.2%. Despite some people say, that new 360 has no breakdown issues - just visit Xbox section of Yahoo answers and see for yourself an amount of complaints.
2). PS3 has 8 (7+1) kernels in Cell processor, Xbox 360 -only 3.
3). PS3 uses advanced tech called Blu-Ray, one disc can store up to 54 gb (in the future - up to 200 gb), Xbox 360 - regular dual layer DVD-9 (8.5GB). It's possible to get HD-DVD (max. - 30GB) for 360, but it'll cost you around 180$, in this case Xbox is going to be MUCH more expensive, than PS3.
4). Calculations per sec - PS3 - 51-billion-dot-product-operati... per second
Xbox 360 - 33.6-billion-dot-product-opera... per second
5). PS3 has full media support - USBs, built-in 4 slots card reader (except 20GB and 40GB versions), ability to use printer and so on.
Xbox 360 has USBs and only 2 memory slots.
6). PS3 supports up to 7 Bluetooth Controllers
Xbox 360 - up to 4 Controllers
7). PS3 - wi-fi included (except 20 gb version)
Xbox 360 - wi-fi will cost you around 100 $
8). Graphics are stronger in PS3, due to RSX chip, that was developed by Nvidia exclusively for PS3. RSX runs on 550 Mhz. It's difficult to compare their graphics chips, because 360 has a video chip with totally different structure and operating memory is divided differently in both consoles. However, PS3 exclusives look better than 360's exclusives.
9). PS3 uses technology from AGEIA company. It does to physics of the game same thing GPU (videocard processor) does to graphics. This thing is on sale for PC(special card). The price is around 350$. There is no such thing in 360.
10). Xbox 360 is widely known for so-called "red ring of death" problem - it gets overheated easily. My PS3 was running for more than 15 hours non-stop with no problems. Sometimes Xbox 360 becomes so overheated, that thermopaste on CPU melts, drips on motherboard and successfully shortcircuits it. That's why in some countries people call Xbox 360 "Coffin 360".
11). Besides all of this, I've seen disassembled Xbox 360 - regular PC architecture - Billy Gates is an uninventive nerd (as usual).
When I saw disassembled PS3 - it was a surprise - smart architecture, good cooling (don't buy external PS3 coolers - they make everything worse - original system is good), etc.
12). In 2008 PS3 will get more than 300 games, including Metal Gear Solid 4, The Agent and other great exclusives. Here is the good link to the future PS3 releases. http://ps3.ign.com/index/release.html......
13). PS3 online is free, Xbox 360 - you have to pay.
14). There were reports, that 360 scratches discs. No reports on that in PS3.
15). The funniest thing, that right now there are no games for PS3, that show full potential of the console. Biggest games weigh only 25 GB (Xbox 360 will need more than 3 discs even for those).
16). On PS3 you can install other OS, such as Linux Yellow Dog, Ubuntu and others. Sony officially lets you do it. There is no such thing in 360.
17). PS3 HDD can be replaced easily with any 2.5" SATA 5400 RPM HDD (used in laptops). 250 GB will cost you around 170$. In 360 you have to buy exclusive HDD, where 20GB will cost you 100$.
18).Sony expects PS3 to stay on the market for, at least, 7-10 years. Also Sony reduces price now. There is a cheaper 40GB version of PS3.
19).Sony constantly upgrades PS3 software (free updates for OS) - you get new functions and improvements.
20). PS3 controller (sixaxis) has a motion control - you move controller - game responds. Wii has it, Xbox 360 - doesn't. PS3 is getting rumble controller (Dualshock 3) in 1st quarter 2008, Japan already has it. On www.ebay.com I saw those controllers on sale 50$ and up (unofficial import)
21).On PS3 you can help sick people by running Folding Home project. Wii and Xbox 360 didn't even think about it.
22).New 40GB is 399$ or 399 euro (depends on the region) - it has no backwards compatibility with PS2 games, has 2 USBs instead of 4, no built-in card reader, but it's the same PS3, strong, reliable, less noisy, different cooling system. The price is friendly.

I didn't mention Wii, because it's so weak, no point to talk about it. Leave it for kindergarten and casual games.
