PS3 or Wii?

[madskillz]

Wii. First, I love WiiSports. Second, there are tons of good games on the Wii that make it a great party console.

Now, why should you get a Wii over a PS? From this unbiased standpoint. The PS3 offers a very similar gaming experience as the 360 offers. The PS3 does offer Blu Ray playback and also several console exclusive games (LBP, Metal Gear, God of War, Uncharted). However, it is more expensive than the Wii, and could experience a price cut soon. You could also land Blu Ray, game offers if you wait long enough.

The Wii offers a fun, family experience. Nongamers can find a home on the console. While the graphics are on the lacking side, the full Gamecube BC (when used with GC controllers) will allow you to play your old GC games. It has several old skool Nintendo games of old, cool avatars and several games that are sure to keep you entertained for hours (WiiFit, Resident Evil, Zelda, Blue Ocean and of course WiiSports).

Really, it's about games. List 5 from each system and ask yourself, which 5 appeal more to you? For me, I enjoy variety and hate redundancy.

My professional opinion? Get the Wii.
