Author Topic: Wii or PS3  (Read 4828 times)

The PS3 has several games that are kid friendly on it's online store. Plus it's got a few good store-bought games that are for all ages. (LittleBigPlanet, MRN, etc.)

Only buy the Wii if you like play with friends often. Almost all the games are utter stuff with only one person.

I'd say the PS3 (or a Xbox 360) is a better choice if you plan on playing it often; the Wii gets old pretty fast.

If you enjoy playing with more then 4 people, go with with PS3 because the Wii's online play is complete stuff. In my opinion the Wii's graphics are also complete stuff when compared to other consoles. The Wii can only output video at 640x480 (480i) while the PS3 and Xbox 360 can output video at 1920x1080 (1080p), which is actually more then 6 times the number of pixels that the Wii outputs. Basically the Wii's graphics are FAR behind the other consoles/PC's so if you care about good graphics, DON'T get a Wii.

     Graphics don't make the game. It really depends. Mario should be unique and pretty looking, while Metroid should have good graphics. Besides, the Wii is fully capable of good graphics (Metroid Prime 3, Super Smash Bros. Brawl).

     It really depends on what you like. If you want a Wii, get a Wii, If you want a PS3, get a PS3.

I'm pretty sure the Xbox and PS3 don't output at 1920x1080.

No its not, it has the power of a last generation console and outputs video at a terrible resolution. The Xbox360 already has ~10x the processing power the Wii does. Yes graphics don't make the game, but I really hate staring at low resolution video on an HDTV, it just looks like complete stuff.

Yes they can, but not all of their games do, because of their hardware limitations but even so, most of their games output at significantly higher resolutions then the Wii. Although, some Xbox/ps3 games dont output at very high resolutions, like Modern warfare2, which on consoles only outputs at 1024x600.

     Eh. I guess you're right. I do still like the Wii though, and the games for it. Even though the only really good games on it are made by Nintendo.

Add the option X-box and if not wii its fun to play with family  :cookieMonster:


Wii-
pros: cheap, unique motion controls, a select few great games (mario galaxy, TP , mario kart, brawl)

cons: not so much a problem now, but earlier games expected precise movements to be detected with the wii's motion sensing (cod3, ew D:), meh graphics(if graphics actually matter to you.)


PS3-
pros: good graphics, bluray, some good games(idk, dont have a ps3)
cons:expensive and ?

Wii is now stuff. 1/50 of the games are actually good in my opinion

Wii-
pros: cheap, unique motion controls, a select few great games (mario galaxy, TP , mario kart, brawl), free online.

cons: shovelware games expects precise movements to be detected with the wii's motion sensing, meh graphics(if graphics actually matter to you.), Poor selection of games, lack of online features, friend codes.


PS3-
pros: good graphics, bluray, better selection of games, free online without friend code stuff.
cons:expensive.
Fix'd

While I have yet to even play a PS3 (I have one coming in the mail) I believe it'll work out better then a Wii.

Well, when we were at Target, we saw a TV/BluRay player combo, so we got it and the Wii. :D

I can give you 3 good reasons to get a Wii over a PS3:

1. Super Smash Bros.

2. Zelda

3. The PS3 controller sucks so much that it ruins the game play experience all together.
