I've come to a final decision.

gonna pick up the Nintendo Wii.

the Xbox 360 shares virtually the same library with the PS3. The Nintendo Wii - while a lot of its library may be garbage - have some really great games

full backward compatible with Gamecube, ever-growing selection of old games on NES, SNES, N64, their competitors NeoGeo, TurboGrafix, Sega Genesis, Sega Master.
On top of that their own WiiWare games (homebrew games available for Wii)
Plus the Wii hits a completely different note then what the 360 hits. 360 hits very similar feelings as the PS3 and the graphics look practically the same to me. game selection is the same.


PS3 offers the Blue-ray, which my laptop has and i don't use it. until the market forces me to go Blue-ray, like they did with me to move to DVD, i won't be getting into it. Their only 3 games exclusive to the PS3 that i will miss but not worth forking over the total of a 360 and a Wii. God of War 3, Final Fantasy 13 Versus, and MGS4: Guns of the Patriots.

Plus my main console was gonna be the 360 anyways. the PS3 and Wii were both gonna be second fiddle to it.

Anyways thanks for you inputs, and i'll probably post up pics when i get it.

I am now a Wii60 owner. - or soon enough anyways. :Thumbs up:

Mario and Master Chief. lol

This seemed to be the most appropriate place to put this. i'm two weeks away of picking up my second and final console for this generation.

Can't decide between the two.

Nintendo Wii and Playstation 3.


I have my arguments for and against each, but i'm looking for second opinions, and no i'm not going to PC.


my argument for the Playstation 3 is that it is a Blue-Ray player (i doubt i'd use it, who knows), i'd use it for more space for my external memory. Plus the console exclusives are pretty awesome, especially the ones that make use of Playstation 3's raw power. As price drops continue, and developers get more familiar with it, it could repeat the magic of the PS2.

my argument against it. I already have an Xbox 360, they virtually share the same games, the Blue-Ray - i honestly feel is a niche market and not the future. They got rid of backward compatibility, and the ones that do have it are incredibly expensive, and i do use backward compatibility quite a bit. I can't really justify the cost, for how little - specifically the games and memory storage - i'd be getting out if it.


my argument for the Nintendo Wii, is that it is completely different from my 360. There are not a whole lot of hardcore games on it, but there is Mario, Metroid, Zelda and you can't screw those up. - well maybe heh. It is completely backward compatible with Gamecube, I never owned one, but i've always wanted to try a few games off the Gamecube.

my argument against it is simple. Getting bored with it. the vast majority of its library is trash, however a more then a handful are diamonds. Brilliant games like Mario Galaxy and Twilight Princess.


So what do you guys think i should pick up?

I'd just like to hear each of your arguements for either or of the systems. I also own a PSP and a DS. small collection for either. but still would like to pick up a second home console to compliment the 360.

ps to fanboys, i don't care to hear trash talking of the 360, that's staying. i do love the thing. but i'd like to hear your arguements for or against either the Wii or PS3.
