I currently own a "PS3 & Wii" and I am thinking of trading the Wii for an Xbox 360 (so that I will have a "PS3 & Xbox 360").

So my question is: What's better - a "PS3 & Wii" combo OR a "PS3 & Xbox 360" combo?

The big issue for me is that a PS3 & Xbox 360 combo would be cool because you could get all the major hard-core games and not worry about exclusives (e.g. Uncharted, GoW, Splinter Cell) BUT there are a lot of overlapping games that are on both systems so it's kind of a waste to have both (when my other option is to have the PS3 and a Wii).

BTW, I don't want all 3 because that will just be too much (I don't have enough time for 3 systems) and I can't do an "Xbox 360 & Wii" combo becase I want the PS3's blu-ray player and SOCOM game.

Thanks for any advice.

Just keep your Wii and buy a 360, the more the merrier. But I you have to choose I'd go for PS3 + 360. By the way, this thread really needs a poll.

PS3/XBOX360 combo in my opinion. I can't even stand to play a Wii longer than a half of hour.

PS3 & PC is the best combo for any core gamer.

You may have a diffrent prefrence, which is fine, but I can defeat any other combo argument logically with this set up...unless you just simply choose to have them all--which is also fine.

Those of you saying PS3/360 are nuts. PS3/Wii is much better. Just look at the exclusive list coming out for the Wii and you will know why. Wii = Exclusive machine

The wii is a console that dose NOT excite many people who consider themselvesto be"gamers" this is why on this "hold no punches console war/ attack/ bash/ your competitor argument fourm" people hardly even bother to create wii bashing/ praising threads much less argue it's importance among "US".

Yes it's the most popular console this gen among the general masses and sells the most, but thats because there are more of "them" casual gamers/non gamers than there are of "us" hard corer gamers. Imo anyway.

whatever combo you get i think Wii should be one of them. it's the only one that really offers a different experience and has many exclusives what won't have something comparable on other systems.

:| The Iphone has "a diffrent experince" and has exclusive that "won't have something comparable on other systems." so the Iphone should be on eveybody's list as well?

p.s.

I know my example is extreem but I feel it must be done to show that the points of arguement you made for the wii do not translate into evidence ofit's worth to most core gamers.

PC/PS3/Wii is probably the best combination. PS3/WII and 360/Wii is a pretty even match. It really depends on what franchises you prefer.

ps3wii, massive exclusives combo

sick of people whining the wii isn't for gamers

PC is a good choice too and 360 isn't bad, but I wouldn't get a PS3/360 combo due to lack of variety

If you have a gaming PC & Halo in your opinion is just okay.... definately go PS3/Wii

If you don't have a gaming PC, my recommendation would be 360/Wii

If I had to choose betwenONLY PS3, 360 and wii..Id choose PS3/360 because fanky..360 has a better library of games that are NOT on the PS3than wii games that are not on either.

thankfully PC shares most of that better library of games that are NOT on PS3 that are on 360...and the PC versions of those games, that are also on 360, are better those on the 360,at least $10 dollars cheaper at retail, and don't require you to sign up for xboxlives $50 a year subscription membership in order to play games online.

:)that's why I say PS3/PC is the best combo.

Well I think it depends on how much you like and play your Wii. I have one and play it so little I can't remember when the last time I played it was. So if I could be bothered so sell it and all my games for it, i'd definitely consider picking up a PS3 with the money.

Nobody ever mentions DS in these setups while it is a great system.

TC You don't care about wii games. Look at Your first post: "The big issue for me is that a PS3 & Xbox 360 combo would be cool because you could get all the major hard-core games and not worry about exclusives" "exclusives" "exclusives" "exclusives."
You wouldn't worry about exclusives? Roflmao You would miss out on a huge amount of exclusives. But You don't seem to mind, so pick PS3/360.

You are entitled to your opinion sir.

My nephew has a wii. He was excited to get one at first because everyone else was getting one and was playing with it for the first week or two, now all he dose is play the games on his PS2...go figure.

Wait a second, if you'd have said Wii has the best exclusives I wouldn't have bothered to comment on that; if that's your opinion it's as valuid as any opinion. But you said the Wii has more great exclusives than PS3 and 360 combined, and that's a strong exaggeration, partially due to the lack of 3rd party support for the Wii that you mention yourself.

it's not though. all 360 and ps3 have is first party stuff. wii has first party stuff and third paty stuff. their first party is pretty strong too as for a lack of third party support, that may have been true in the past but it's not exactly the case now.

Getting a PS3/360 Combo seems kind of pointless since the majority of the big games for either system are multi-plat (i.e. Assassin's Creed 2, Modern Warfare 2, Bioshock 2, Dead Space, Mirror's Edge, Prince of Persia, GTA IV, Resident Evil 5, Far Cry 2, Fallout 3, etc.) and even the exclusives seem to replicate themselves somewhat (i.e. PS3 has Ratchet, 360 has Banjo; PS3 has Gran Turismo, 360 has Forza; PS3 has Killzone 2, 360 has Halo; PS3 has Uncharted, 360 has Gears).

If you already have a PS3 or 360 and you get the other system you're basically doing it for a handful of games. However if you get a Wii, you're expanding your choices a lot with all the Nintendo franchises (Super Mario Galaxy, Metroid Prime, Punch-Out, Smash Brothers, Sin and Punishment 2, etc.) as well as it's unique 3rd party games (Muramasa: Demon Blade, Zack & Wiki, Mad World, House of the Dead Overkill, Dead Space Extraction, Boom Blox, Deadly Creatures, etc.)

I have a PS3 and a Wii and I am very happy, I wouldn't trade either system for a 360. However, I probably will get a 360 when this gen is almost over and I can get one very cheap just so I can pick up any exclusives that I missed out on.)

Did you miss this year's E3 or something? And by the way 2008 was even worse than this year for Nintendo. I mean I love some of the Nintendo IP's, I own a Wii (and 360 and PS3), but the game offering on the Wii is mediocre at best in terms of sheer quantity. Something that can't be said for both the other consoles.

That logic fails because many of the best upcoming games on both the 360 and PS3 are shared by both platforms.

1. good thing i didn't mention PC huh? 2. you PS part would be wrong because there are many core games that are exclusives on the wii (metroid, zelda, mario etc). while on the iphone the games from popular core game franchises don't actually play like core games anymore. (Starwars become mostly drag and drop gameplay)

you should do a pc/ps3/psp combo if not then go for ps3/360 unless you really like your wii go for ps3/wii as wii offers a different experience
