Shouldn't get x360, stick with wii and playstation 3. Waht the point of getting a 360 when all their exclusives are on PC too. In a couple months time I'll have the complete package PCWiiStation and the fact that I don't have to worry about exclusives while YOU will be missing out ps3 games. :(

This post has to be a joke. Can you read? He said he owns a 360 already. You PHAIL.

Last generation, I owned a Gamecube and a PS2. Not that I didn't like the Xbox since I borrowed it from friends from time to time to play Fable, Halo 2, etc. This generation, I only have a Xbox 360 at the moment. I can only really have two systems and I'm not sure whether to get the Wii or the PS3. The Wii costs less, has Mario, Metriod, Zelda, and soon to have SSBB. But I'm not sure if getting a PS3 would be better in the long run with God of War III, MGS4, MGS Online, GT5, Ratchet & Clank, and so on.

With Christmas coming up soon, I don't have much time. Hell, I probably won't even find a Wii.



Trouble is 360 and PS3 share so many games at the moment, The hardcore PS3 exclusives are not out till next year or beyond so your better off with a 360 and a Wii.

 I'm sure PS3 will get another price cut next year so then will be time to buy!! 



Well I would buy a PS3, you like MGS right (your avatar), if you buy a PS3 you can play MGS4, you have just to look at this.

it just depends on which exclusives you like most from this list :)



If you already have a 360, then getting a PS3 over the Wii is pretty pointless. The PS3 has good games, but all of the 90+ rated ones are on the 360 as well, while the Wii has three 90+ exclusives. Obviously you should take into account what genres you like, as the Wii owns platforming, lightgun and party games, but has very few online shooters, as well as your budget. There are a number of exclusives on the way to the PS3 that might make it worth buying just for them, but none of the current ones, and not at this price.

A lot of 360 exclusives appear on the PC eventually, so PC/PS3(/Wii) is a good combination as well, but you have a 360 already and gaming PCs cost a lot.

I have both, I play on the wii a lot more, however I think that Xbox 360 is better than the PS3 and the wii is better than both. However I play on all three, And each has its own strengths.

 

The wii is more fun and has the best games by a looong way, twilight princess proves that

The 360 is good for FPS (not my cup of tea) and RPGs (my cup of tea)

The PS3 does not have a lot of good games however the multiformat games seem to play better on it



"""The 360 is good for FPS (not my cup of tea) and RPGs (my cup of tea)"""

==> well, the PS3 is rally laking of RPG so far, I completely agree

"""The PS3 does not have a lot of good games however the multiformat games seem to play better on it"""

==> LOL
sorry, but, i think you are wrong.
+90% of the multiplateform games play better on the Xbox360 (some a little bit better, sometimes really better)



Time to Work !

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
