I really think this depends on your age. If you are over the age of 14 I would get the 360. Under the age get the Wii.

Look at the recent article of VG's top 10 wii games. For me (age 32) there is not one single game that would interest me. Only reason I have ever bought a nintendo console in the last 15 years is for Bond 64.

Now if you are an independent adult the 360's new dashboard will include instant streaming of over 12500 movies via netflix. This will also include game rentals and all the TV shows. Not to mention the best games library among the 3 consoles.

I really don't understand the appeal of the Wii unless you want to play 30 mario titles in the next year and countless of crap "party" games (samba di amigo are you fn serious, who purchases this crap?)



damn Iam 45 and couldnt agree more. lol TY FOR your post

 

 

 What are you talking about? I'm 26 and I prefer by far the Wii. It's not a matter of age but rather a matter of taste.

If you own a PS3 I would recommend the 360. My wii has done nothing but collect dust for a while now. That's just me in particular. The 360 and PS3 suit my tastes more nowadays.

For about $400 you can have a gaming PC built that can play just about every worthwhile game on the 360 and exclusive games as well. Don't forget that you will have access to better graphics, mods, superior multimedia functions, upgradeable hardware and a keyboard and mouse. Also, you don't have to pay for online play using a PC and the games launch about $10 cheaper. The Wii on the other hand has exclusive content and does not directly compete with a vastly superior gaming platform. Buy a Wii, forget the 360 even exists until exclusive content starts to appear.

LOL vastly superior pinch me exclusives gta4 exclusive content fable2 halo gears yes it will hit a pc but so will hacked wii games.

Cheaper but you cant trade or sell them back like console games. pc game $50.00 console game $ 60.00 wii game $50.00

trade in on aaa title $20.00 so console games are cheaper and online is optional if you want it.

I took a quick look at your game library and I think you should buy a Wii. All first party games that you put in your favorite games + CoD5 and CoD6 will be on Wii. And I noticed that you already own a PS3 so the choice is not very difficult.

 

 cod6 will be on wii???? where did you hear that from. if its infinty ward it will be another modern warfare designed for pc,360,PS3. if  its a port made by someone else maybe.

still if you like the wii get it if you like the 360 get it,

 I love 4 player shooters splitscreen on a 50 in tv with 5.1sound  my Ps3 and 360 serve me well the wii is a work out machine for my wife with wiifit. if and when another good game hits it I might play it with its sub par graphics.

as per IGN, CoD6 will be released on Wii in 2009.

 

I have a deja-vu.


NOTE: This has been confirmed as a game in development but has not been officially announced for any specific platform -- it may or may not be released on this system. Please check back for official info.

 

It's obvious that CoD6 will be released on Wii. Why Activision would not release a game on a console which own more than 50% of the market share?

its up to the developer not the publisher amd it its portable or a different game altogether witha similar name cod2 on 360 wasnt the same game as on the ps2.

Hmm I don't say it will not be on the Wii but it is not yet confirmed and I will not be surprised if the game is not on the Wii that is all.
