Nintendo Wii or Playstation 3?

[boilermaker11]

I can undertsand why many people here say that if you have a 360, then get a Wii, as the PS3 and 360 are similar right now. I mean, they do share a lot of heavey hitters (COD4, Orange Box, etc), however, you can't overlook the 1st party titles. The only reason I didn't get a Wii is because, at this moment, it still falls prey, alongside with the PS3, of the "it has no games" category. Sure, people here will tout Mario Galaxy, and Twilight Princess, but I could talk about Ratchet and Clank and Uncharted.

Right now, I'd say that it's only a matter of price for you.....and like I always say, you pay for what you get. You can get your platforming, action, rpg, ect experience with the Wii for $250, but with lack of HD graphics, poor online, and a WIDE selection of shovelware.

Or you can pay $400 for an entry level PS3, get your action, platforming, adventure, etc experience, with HD graphics, a good online system, multimedia functionality, Blu-ray, etc etc

I know it looks like I just basically said "get a PS3 over a Wii" but look at the price difference. You pay for HD, you pay for the multimedia, you pay for high end technology. I'd say it's all about what you're willing to pay for, at this moment.

In 2008 when the heavy hitters for both consoles come out, then it becomes a matter of which games you want to play more. Brawl or MGS4? Mario Kart or GT5? It's a matter of preference then.

But as of now, depending on your take on the "HD era", that's the only factor when choosing between a Wii or PS3. If you just don't care, get a Wii. If your one of the people with a 42" Samsung HDTV, and a surround sound setup, etc, get a PS3.....for right now. I don't have said setup, but I do care about HD, so I picked up a PS3.

Just my take on things
