Forums - Gaming - Should i buy a 360 or a Wii

Salnax on 14 September 2010

I'd get a Wii, just for the different experience and somewhat lower cost (even discluding console costs, cheaper games and free online save a decent amount).

I wouldn't worry about the Wii 2 just yet. It shouldn't come until 2012.



My friend is a Vtuber, check him out.

Wii. It by far gives you more options considering what you already own. You can play EVERY game on a 360 on your PS3 or computer at some point, but the Nintendo branded games (and other 3rd party gems) can only be played on Wii.

Lie.

Really? so every "exclusive" 360 game doesn't have a PC port at some point in time?

While I am sure there are a few, the greater majority of "exclusive" 360 games are in reality also available on a PC.

Point still stands. For every game you may miss by not having a 360 when you already have a PC/PS3, there are probably 10 or more Wii games you can't play anywhere else.

Best option for this gen is to either have a PSWii.

I look at the Wii as a nice secondary console.

I couldn't imagine choosing it over the 360.

Nope.

A lot of us wish they did.

But the Wii doesn't have an 80 million lead over the 360.

We also don't know how many Wii owners have a 360 or PS3.

Indeed ???? Forza? any Halo game this gen, Gears 2 and 3, VP2, the countless arcade games, Banjo, Crackdown, PGR games. So no your point doesn't stand.

And before you start, don't bother giving your predictable negative stance on those games, it'd be completely irrelevent to your argument.

The best option this gen for 2 consoles depends on the person, there is no definitive duel console ownership this gen. Man why do you even bother giving your opinion here, it's so flawed and bias ..

You're being silly. Gears and Halo have both been launched on PC later (just search Amazon) and the FPS games in general are just as abundant on PC/PS3 already. So Genre is filled by what he has already.

The arcade games are called arcade for a reason. They mostly all exist in other mediums.

I did mention that there are games (1st party) that are true exclusives, however for every one of those there are at least 10 Wii games that you cannot play anywhere else.

So, again, for the best variety, the only choice is to add a Wii to his PS3/PC combo.

Wii fanboys say you should buy a Wii. XBox360 fanboys say you should buy a 360. And, if for some reason a PS3 fanboy appears here, he will say that both options are bad and you should just stick to buy a PS3.


And your advice to the OP is...?



Hackers are poor nerds who don't wash.

It's pretty hilarious though that how fast you backtracked when someone called you on your original statement, which quite frankly, was a bold faced lie. The latest entries of Gears and Halo haven't launched on PC and don't look like they're about to either. I think he should get a Wii, but I'm not going to sit here and lie about why he should do it.
