Title: Wii or Ps3
Post by: MSTACHF123456 on January 18, 2009, 11:15:22 am
Does anyone think that i should get a wii or a ps3 because the wii is motion controlled and fungames and the playstation 3 is not motion controlled and has violent war games. I already have an xbox 360.

Someone once told me the PS3 has lower quality graphics.  I don't know for sure, I've never had one.

I would say get a Wii.  The console is cheaper, and they have a good variety of games.  Most of them are family oriented, but they still have war games like Call of Duty.

360:  You pay more, but get better games.  Most of the pay is the Live subscription.

PS3:  Free internet use, but not as good games (My opinion)

Wii:  Good for kids, and fun at parties.  Decent all other times.  I only play Mario Kart on my bro's.

PC:  That's what I stick to cause I'm particular.

I'd go with the Wii, I think it's more fun.  The PS3 is a very good Blu Ray player though, so definitely take that in to account- it's kinda like getting two toys in one.

The PS3 is a very good Blu Ray player...
I heard that one of the minor reasons why PS3 went with the Blu Ray proprietary is because the adult entertainment film industry switched their produced movies over to Blu-Ray format from HD-DVD.

Haha, I hadn't heard that.  I just figured it was because Blu-Ray is Sony's format, and Sony makes the PS3  ;)

Honestly I like all three platforms, but if I was going to go buy one, I'd get the PS3 because of the high quality BluRay player it has.

Def, you need to get a PS3. It has better graphics, and more games than the wii. The wii is cool, but only lasts like 2 weeks, then its borring...

it depends on what you like more. do you like the violent type games or the fun games more?
Title: Re: Wii or Ps3
Post by: skuggiaiko on January 29, 2009, 02:11:19 pm
PS3 has better graphics, and fun games. Little Big Planet is awesome, a good party game. Wii is good for party games, like bowling/tennis. but you get sore arms from the goofy joystick - although I must say super mario galaxy was a lot of fun!

But overall, I'd go with the PS3

Post by: anthonyvorox on February 01, 2009, 05:37:10 pm
A Ps3 is much better. Aside from being able to play PS3 games along with PS2/PSX compatibility (depending on what version you're buying), it also a Blue-ray disc player (a typical Blue-ray disc player may cost around $200 or more)!!! You can hold and play music and video/movie files on the PS3 as well. The PS3 also has a built in WiFi, which allows you to connect online wirelessly. The only downside is that it costs nearly twice Wii. But with so many features, the PS3 is definitely worth the price.
Title: Re: Wii or Ps3
Post by: PierceJacob on February 01, 2009, 05:53:40 pm
You're right in that, but I have a Wii and it's way more entertaining for the entire family.  I have my grandma, grandpa and 3 year old sister all playing with me.  And that's way more to me than an MP3 player.

I have a wii and xbox 360... the wii is fun espically with the kids..... the 360 has the online live stuff and the kids are happy with just playing the demos..... so i win either way!
Title: Re: Wii or Ps3
Post by: Jmclark on February 02, 2009, 09:07:36 pm
(coming from a Wii owner, so a bit biased, but oh well)

I'd say get a Wii over a PS3. If you already have an XBox 360, then you don't need a PS3. PS3 has barely any exclusive titles that XBox doesn't have. Plus, the Wii is $150 cheaper, and yes, it has free online like the PS3, but it's annoying, so stick with Live. The Wii games may seem childish, but they are really not. You look at them and think "There's no way I'd like this game, it looks like crap!" and then you play it and you love it. Take for example Animal Crossing. That game looks so childish but me and my friends have a ton of fun playing it online. The Wii games deserve a chance. :)

Post by: landjholm on February 03, 2009, 08:03:34 pm
We at one time had a PS3, XBox 360 and a Wii.

We only have the Will now because we did not like very many games for either of the other two consoles. The Wii, however, had an ease of use and a lever of interactiveness that kept it interesting where the other systems were more of the same old, same old.

Wii's are cheaper than the other systems, and anyone you invite over will be able to get into it, so noone is left out. :D

Post by: zep5678 on February 04, 2009, 06:23:13 pm
I have a ps3 which (in my opinion) much better than the xbox or wii

1. FREE LIVE- it is rediculous to have to pay for live on an xbox

2 good game- The games are just as good... except no GOW

3. Blu ray- a blue ray player is like 200 dollars, and in buying a ps3 for 400 you get blue ray and a great gaming system

PS3 FTW :icon_rr:

I want a Wii so bad!

I am not a big gamer at all.. but the Wii really appeals to the Hello Kitty-loving "OMG SO CUTE!" side of my personality. Plus, I much prefer the Nintendo-type of cartoony video games.. Mario, Tetris, Spyro, etc... to the "realistic" looking ones. I just want a Wii with DDR and Wii Fit. Then I'll be happy  :)

My ex has an xBox 360 & just got a PS3 for his birthday... he is considering getting rid of one. I might not prefer the PS3 but I'll definitely offer to take it off his hands!!

Post by: arjubo on February 06, 2009, 10:11:33 pm
We are a family with 3 kids, 10-16 yrs.  We have both the Wii and PS3.  We use our PS3 so much more than our Wii.  Yes, it may cost more, but you are getting a blue ray player and nothing beats it.  I just wish we bought an 80 gig PS3 instead of our 40 gig.  The 40 gig won't play any PS2 games but I read online that the 80 gig PS3 will.  The favorite game in our house is Call of Duty 4,  my hubby and son go online and love it.  I do have to watch our 10 yr old with that game.  She likes to go online and use the mic to talk.  I don't think she should.....

As for the wii, I like the wii fit and the kids like the balance games.  I don't recommend tennis with 4 people unless they are S p r e a d out.  My daughter was clocked on the head from a backhand swing :(   We just really prefer the graphics on the PS3

I think it depends on what the purpose of buying it is.  I don't have either one, but like the idea of the Wii.

Go with the Wii. You'll get more friends, LOL! There is nothing logically wrong with the Wii, besides that it makes you actually move more than four fingers. That maybe a bad thing here in America though. :-

The Wii is more of a family fun counsle while the PS3 is for the adults and hardcore gamers. I like the Wii personally since i'm a fan of Nintendo, and they make alot of fun games that are easy to put down.

i'd go for PS3, myself. i'm pretty anti-wii. i just don't like them for some reason.. but at the same time, i'm very much a super nintendo kinda gal ;p so i'm not sure how much my opinion could count on this.

Post by: LittleDebbieG on March 03, 2009, 06:45:56 am
Each console has its target audience in the games and features. With that in mind, each console has its own features that I could use, so I ended up getting all three of them. Right now, my 360 is getting my full attention with Tales of Vesperia. :)

It all really depends on what you need the system for. I will say that the Wii is a great little system, but so much potential is being lost in the shovelware.
Title: Re: Wii or Ps3
Post by: SaosiNH on March 03, 2009, 12:31:23 pm
Well you already have the best system, so that's a good start. Out of the Wii and PS3, I would say the PS3 is better by far. BUT....I would say get the Wii. There's just not enough good exclusive games out there on the PS3 to warrant buying it if you already have a 360. The Wii is really fun, but not really for hardcore gamers. But again, since you already have the best of the 3 then the Wii is a good compliment to it if you just want to have something for parties and friends and such.

Having said all that, I own all 3 but highly regret buying the PS3 because I already had the 360. I mean there are some good exclusives for the PS3 (Metal Gear, LittleBigPlanet, Killzone 2), but most of the bigger games come out for both systems anyway.
Title: Re: Wii or Ps3
Post by: LittleDebbieG on March 03, 2009, 01:42:34 pm
Well, if you're not using the PS3 for gaming, at least you still have an excellent quality blu-ray player. For the price, it is amazing. Again, I have all three systems because each one brought something to the table that I needed in a console.

All three systems with a 1080p TV and surround sound... entertainment heaven.
