Which is better wii, playstation 3 or xbox 360?

Question

I want to buy a new video game system but I can only afford one so I want to know which one is the best.

Answer 1

Gaemplay is what makes a good game, and good games make a good console, so Xbox 360 all the way!

Answer 2

Simple. Easy to Understand. Explanation.



NOT THE WII. IF YOU GET A WII, YOUR ONLY GETTING IT FOR BRAWL OR FOR TWILIGHT PRINCESS. NOTHING ELSE.



SO HERE IS A COMPARISON BETWEEN THE PS3 AND 360.



1. Graphics - PS3, the 360 can rival the graphics with the component cable, but the PS3 does have better graphics. It's a fact.



2. Games - 360, Much more wide range of games. And better games too, including, Halo, Fable, and all the other great ones.



3. Internal Hardware (lifetime) - PS3, the 360's break ALL the time. If you get a new one, I BET you it will break in 2 years.



4. Controller - 360, I hate the PS3 controller. The 360 controller is a million times better.



5. Online Play - 360, even though the PS3's online play is free. Xbox live is the BEST.



6. Appearence - Both, I like the look of the 360 elite, but the look of the PS3. Both are great.



7. Upcoming Features - 360, the 360 has alot more ability to be updated. Google PROJECT NATAL right now. It's an upcoming motion sensor for the 360, and it looks awesome!



8. Performance - PS3, the PS3 won't get anything stupid like a RROD. (red ring of death).



9. Lifetime - PS3, it has such a great internal build, that it will last you for years and years to come. While the Xbox at MOST will last you 3 without you getting the Red Ring.



10. Extra Features - PS3, with blueray, it probably takes the cake on this one. But still, don't be doubting the Xbox features just yet...





__________



I have BOTH systems. I am not biased. And I love both. But honestly, if you had to pick, probably the PS3. In the long run, it will save you more money. But if you have plenty of money for repairs, pick the Xbox! I like it much better then my PS3.

Answer 3

First of all I have the ps3 and wii. The wii is a game for people who want to be fit and move around while playing as an unrealistic sort of character called a mii. that knocks it off the list for nearly all people.



On the xbox and the playstation side you are probably a hardcore gamer. I got the ps3 because of three main reasons as they both cost the same 299Euro or whatever and they both are pretty damn good;



1) The internet is FREE. thats right FREE. on the xbox its about 65Euro or whatever.

2) the graphics are better because it has built in blu-ray. this plays amazingly high quality DVDs which can be played on DVD players or Ps3. The xbox has a standard DVD card which is low lifed compared to the playstation 3.

3) microsoft who built the xbox failed when they built the console. when they saw that the revolutionary controller with analogs the first ever on the ps1 and 2 got lots of sales they COPIED IT.

except the controller on xbox 360 is sort of different. IT HAS ONE DIFFERENT PLACEMENT OF AN ANALOG STICK.



Xbox Cons:

controller makes your fingers numb because of the massive heavy battery.

nooby online players.



Ps3 Cons:

thumbprints (not that you use your thumbs on it anyway...) on the oldest version of the ps3.

there are no cons.

Answer 4

I would buy a ps3. Below are five reasons to buy a ps3, and eventually below that, is the statics of all three systems.



#1 - The PS3 Has Hi-Def/Blu-ray

Let’s get the most obvious feature out there first. Both the Xbox 360 and Wii operate off of older disc technologies, and the PS3 is the only gaming console that offers a Blu-ray high definition disc drive. This plays out to be two distinct advantages for the PS3 -- Blu-ray movies and Blu-ray games. DVDs are on their way out, and Blu-ray is the new standard for video. Blu-ray discs also hold more data, so the PS3 has to use fewer discs for games. Finally, every PS3 supports 1080p video, upconverts regular DVDs to look better on your HDTV, and has an HDMI output (necessary for the highest quality HD signals).



#2 - The PS3 Is Ready Out of the Box, Cheaper to Own

While it is true that the sticker price of the PS3 is higher than the Wii or Xbox 360, it is a feature complete system. Take for example the controllers. All three systems come with wireless controllers, but the PS3’s DualShock 3 is the only one that’s rechargeable out of the box.



Want to get online using your WiFi network? On the Xbox 360, that will require a $100 dollar wireless upgrade kit while on the PS3 and the Wii wireless networking is built in, though the Wii requires you to buy their web browser. Want to play games online? That will require you to purchase an Xbox Live Gold Membership. The cost to play on the PlayStation network? Nada. Want to download new games and video for your console? While it is no problem for the PS3, but you may have to purchase additional storage for some Xbox 360s and Wiis if you plan to download much of anything.



#3 - The PS3 Has Great Games To Satisfy the Mainstream and the More Discerning Gamer

All three systems have a wide variety of wonderful games, and most major American and European games appear on all three systems. But the PlayStation 3 has the support of Japanese developers and online boutique developers that the other two simply don’t have. Sure the Xbox 360 has Halo and the Wii has Mario, but the PS3 has equally good exclusives in Metal Gear Solid 4, God Of War III, LittleBigPlanet, and the greatest driving game ever, Gran Turismo 5.



In addition, consider the unique Japanese and indy titles that only the PS3 gets. From Pixel Junk Monsters, Flow, EveryDay Shooter, The Last Guy, and LocoRoco Cocoreccho!, to software that’s more like interactive art than games, such as Tori-Emaki, Flower, and Linger in Shadows, there are simply odd and wonderful things that exist on the PS3 that don’t on the other systems.



#4 - The PS3 Has Lots of Multimedia and Non-gaming Features

The PS3 can show pictures, play videos, and play music you download from the net, or from a USB device such as a thumb drive or external hard drive as well as streaming from a computer. So does the Xbox 360, but only the PS3 will allow you to stream it to your PlayStation Portable, remotely. This means you can access your media, including Blu-ray discs, on the road using your PSP. The PS3 also supports Linux as an additional operating system, allowing it to be used for a variety of non-gaming purposes.



#5 - Online Gaming Is Free and Easy

All three systems now offer web surfing and the purchasing of games online. Unlike the other two systems, however, online gaming on the PS3 is both easy and free, with no extra fees or complicated friend codes required. The PS3 also offers a unique and free virtual world called Home, where you can chat, hang out and play games with other PS3 owners. Much like the Xbox Live Achievement system, the PS3 has a Trophies system that allows you to earn awards as you play games and compare how you’ve done against other players.
