Personally, I'd rather have a Wii. From what I've seen, it looks way better. Actually, it looks freaking amazing. Not to mention it's $350 less than the PS3.

Well the Wii is pretty kewl i will not lie buuttt there has been problems with the wrist band it seems that its to weak and its known to snap wen playing games like Wii tennis but all in all its a good system and very affordable now for the PS3 u cant rlly compare that and the Wii for tha fact that the Wii's gfx are not rlly up there with the PS3 gfx now of course everyone knows that nintendo is more advertised towards children which is why they make it affordable for parents could buy it for their kids now with the PS3 prices its expensive becuz of the stuff it comes with and the fact that sony knows they have alot of fans out there that are mostly adults and would pay just about any amount of money for it just like the Xbox but see ps3 should never be bought untill a few months has passed by for the fact theres always a defect now for wat system would i choose thats sumthing i cant do since it depends on the mood i am in i do have a inner child in me and wen that comes out i would play the Wii for the fact that i love nintendo played it wen i was a kid and still own it now if i want to go let some anger out it would have to be PS3 now ill leave u on that note great thread more ppl gotta post on this one i would love to see their insight on the systems ciao

I like the Wii my friend got one and its addicting. The only thing is if you move to fast the computer takes over and does it for you.

My brother has a "Wii" [btw I think it has a odd name] and we played bowling, it was so much fun compared to other games when u just sit on a so couch and push buttons. It felt like you were actually bowling lol

Wii
Step up Out of the box I was surprised just how small the unit is - especially compared to its next-gen brethren. Had to change my plans and set it up on my basement TV, because the widescreen TV in the family room has a beveled edge on the top and is set flush with the wall unit - both factors discouraging accurate placement of the sensor bar. Wonder how many people have had issues with that? Beyond that, cables were clearly marked and the instructions were simple to follow. Took just a few minutes to put it together.
Wiimote Wow. What a beautiful piece of engineering. Small and comfortable in your hand, but heavy enough to create real presence. The “rumble” feature is subtle but vital; the little vibrations you get when the pointer passes over a button on the screen create tactile feedback that’s hard to describe; it enables you to really “feel” the pointer and connects you to the activity on the screen at a very deep level. Two quibbles, though: 1) it feels like the audio speaker on the Wiimote is underutilized; and 2) most of the activity seems to center on the “A” button on the top of the controller rather than the “B” button/trigger on the underside. It seems to me that “pulling a trigger” is a more natural feel that “pushing a button;” I’d prefer to see the “B” button more prominently featured in gameplay.
However, my biggest complaint about the Wiimote is that Nintendo only includes one with the game. The shortage of consoles currently extends to a shortage of Wiimotes, and just having one is very annoying, when you’d like to play against someone else. I think Nintendo should’ve packaged a second Wiimote with the console; hard to see how any customer isn’t going to need one. They could’ve done that and still kep the price point under $300 ($299?) - it would’ve been fairer to the consumer. Instead, it seems that the $250 price is a bit artificial, and I’m frustrated that I can’t get my hands on a second controller.
Graphics Bright, cleanly rendered environments predominate, but after being exposed to what’s being accomplished at the leading edge of XBox 360 and PS3 game design, you have to adjust your expectations. I haven’t experimented with some of the more elaborate worlds created for Wii games (like Red Steel or Zelda), so I’ll be interested in seeing what great designers can do to push the graphics envelope.
Summing up The Wii seems to accomplish something that has been a long-sought objective of the gaming industry - to break out of the traditional “gamer” box and appeal to a much wider set of customers. That’s a major achievement in its own right. Beyond that, I’d love to see much more experimentation with what’s possible with the Wiimote. I think Nintendo’s on to something very powerful here - a new way to interact with information and activity occuring in a virtualized setting. This could have significant ramifications for how high-end simulations are constructed, and much more. The bottom line is that the Wii is a smartly designed, well-thought-out, incredibly fun gaming system.
