Wii is my number one choice, PS3 rocks in RPG games and they both are decent price at there functions.
Imagine if products were not "Made in China", wow the price would be doubled. Poor workers work all day for a penny a day and we complain here.
My opinion they both excellent, at the end depends on personal taste.
I would say Wii for entertainment and PS3 hardcore gamers

TRUE MAN .... for 400 bux you'd take a look

Im of the belief that the nintendo isnt really the same as an xbox or a ps they kind of do different things..... id certainly own a wii and a 360 or a wii and a ps3....but wouldnt really go 360 and ps3 cause your kind of doubling up

Think about it:
What does the PS3 offer besides incredible graphics? Grand Theft Auto? Not worth $300 bucks (and thats after lowering the price to that of the Wii console and Wii games), and it's not even out yet!
There reaches a point where graphics don't concern me (and I hope most others) as much as the actual experience of playing the system, and that's what the Wii offers.

And if you want to get technical, Wii does broadcast in HD, just not full HD. Whereas the PS3 outputs in 1080p, the Wii outputs in 480p. Sure, it's a step down, but still more than a step up from the Gamecube or the PS2.

P.S. Have something to do when your PS3 explodes after 7 minutes.

Unholy said: the ps3 does have the motion sensor but not to the degree nintendo does, and they also didnt' dedicate their whole control scheme around it. so they can't really be compared on the same level. And the whole blu-ray thing?! gonna get the same result as the laserdisc did. YA you remember it, the huge dvd pretty much, didn't last.nobody wants to pay lots of money for a blu-ray disc player, when u can get something over half as cheap with nearly equivalent specs


hmmmm best stick to your chocolate milk. Blu ray dics hold more than five times the amount of information than dvd's do, if it was just a fad then why have panasonic (nintendo own a stake in Panasonic) Samsung, pioneer, and toshiba just to name a few have all embraced the technology.

If PS3 was as cheap as the Wii, Would u buy it?
My Answer is YES. No1 said you can't own both consoles. At that price PS3 is such a bargain. I'm not a Nintendo fan but I loved my classic NES. Battle City, Mario 1 & 2, Ice Climber and all that, but I have to say that the Wii has really amazed me this time. The games are made for all ages, I'm sure many would agree that playing tennis on the Wii is easier to pick up then playing MGS4 on PS3. But that's not the point both consoles are great and they target different segments of the market, moreover both these consoles each have great games. So my verdict: Get Both! Play Nintendo classics on Wii and MGS4 and Winning Eleven 11 on PS3! That is IF PS3 was the same price as Wii. Go Wii!!!

P.S. Winning Eleven is the best soccer game of all time!

Ps3 already has M.Sensor controllers 360 will be retro fitting. Say what you want fanboys the most sucessful consoles of the last 2 generations were playstations. In terms of blu-ray being a fad your're tripping HD-dvd is the fad. If you're happy with you're console choice thats great, just dont go talking all that nintendo will rule crap.

I was one of the stupid few who paid $700 for the original PS1 and XBOX! $1000 is a little steep for a system that has technical issues and so far hasn't been that supported by the gaming or movie making industry. If it was the same price, probably still wouldn't buy it as I smell the same fate as the Mini Disc for Blu-Ray.

Whats with the blue ray for a dvd player .. how long are they intending on making movies run for?

I think in terms of gaming it is a nessesity as it will allow larger memory which will provde better games through graphics size of game videos and the all important speach in games. But to play a dvd on blue ray im not sure what the importance is.

Perhaps they are taking a gimmick and trying to make people belaive they need it...... ala motion sensors

Is all personal opinion, but one thing that is fact is stand alone blu-ray dvd players cost $1500 so technically Sony are paying you $500 for the right to play PS3 games. Sounds like good value to me. Because graphics are'nt important (supposedly) i'll be buying Zelda T.P on the cube, the console it was intended for.

the reason cube lost is cos ninty tried to copy sony instaed of doing their own thing and sony touches todgers



How is the Wii vs PS3 more like Ds v Psp as apposed to Cube v Ps2

Is this because the psp didnt win?????

I think the cube and ps2 is a better judge because both were in a three horse race with the xbox ... and both were home systems. Ps2 come out with a power player and nintendo released a cutsie pinky crappy BOX. Have some substance to your arguments and back your points up with facts my friend!

Actually nintendo has been getting clobbered in the home console market since the ps1 days, but thats not the point. Nintendo have made some of the greatest video games of all time and i commend them on this, but the competition has been making up ground rapidly. Take away portable console sales and nintendo is in real trouble of becoming a relic of the past. The wii was nintendos chance to turn things around, but it will be difficult seeing as its only a fraction more powerful than the original xbox. Will nintendo become the next sega? only time will tell.....

I still stick by what I said, personal choice. I didn't really word it very well, more of a "Nintendo always beats Sony in my eyes" If it was the 360 I'd buy it, I just can't stand PlayStation. I can't really comment on the cube, I decided to give it a miss because my dad bought a dreamcast instead. I'm still glad I did because the 64 beat the GC. Not like I had to state that though...
