360, PS3, or WII?

@rory - exactly

That's why a pc will always beat a console in that regard

After having played the Wii for a while, I look at it as a mediocre console that only has a gimmicky control feature to sell it. The "newness" of the Wii-mote quickly wore off and, when I realized that it didn't help me control any better than a standard Xbox controller, the fun factor of the Wii dropped off rather quickly.

That video shows all 3 consoles playing COD3. To me it looks close between the PS3 and 360 with the Wii being the worst (Although I've been told Wii is the most enjoyable to play COD3). Probably the 360 looks the best but you couldn't tell a difference between that and PS3 except the PS3 brightness seems to be turned up.

I dont think there is much difference in graphics. If you have a nice big HDTV you wont see any difference whatsoever. It's like saying which one has better sound I think. Probably near the time the next consoles are being released will be when the PS3 starts to dominate but at the moment, the 360 is winning and looks set to dominate for a while because thye have better games. Remember Sony lose money everytime they sell a PS3 and all the good games are going to the 360.

IMO why would you just buy a console just for the reason of graphics. The PS3 is not compatable with all HDTV's anyway and the games will be expensive because of the blue ray. There are many factors you should think about before buying a console. One gameplay. The Wii has the controller which is used by movement and as someone had posted the titles released by Nintendo are far better and enjoyable then some hardcore shoot 'em up game on the PS3. Two Multipayer. The Wii again has the best multipayer IMO as all players are moving around and having a laugh, the only downside is I'm not sure but i don't think there is Network/Live (online) gameplay for the Wii. Therefore the 360 wins this round due to its vast selection of online multiplayer games. Finally Three Memory. The 360 and PS3 both have hardrives that with the 360 you may have to buy sperately but the PS3 has an intergrated hardrive of around 60Gb whereas the 360 only has a capacity of 20Gb. The Wii uses the classic memory sticks for holding memory but if you have just moved house and you have 3 memory sticks each for a seperate game and you have lost them you are as they say, "Stuffed." The final award goes to the 360 for its cheap and not hunky 20Gb hardrive.
Overall IMO you should buy the Wii, great titles great fun and its Nintendo. The PS3 was supposed to be released in 2006 in november but its release was put back to march because of bugs to the, oh wait the Blue Ray, so it Wii for Mii

Hoped This Helped!

I am dissapointed in all of you, betraying pc for consoles.... Consoles will never have better graphics than pc even right now with the relatively new next gen consoles and it is basically impossible to play rts of consoles. I know LOTR: Battle for Middle Earth II is for consoles, but if you ever tried to play it on a consoles you will notice how awkward and wierd it is

If this discussion was about what was better, pcs or consoles, i think everyone would agree on something for once

It's a decision based around which one is the least bad, imo

I'll eat any xbox-player alive with my wiimote, wiimote>keyboard/mouse.

Keyboard/mouse > *

**Fragony** · 03-12-2007, 12:25

Nah, with the wiimote I can aim faster, and with the nunchuck I have analogue control over my movement, it's the best from both worlds

**sapi** · 03-12-2007, 12:29

I haven't personally used the wii, but I really can't imagine that you can aim faster with a wiimote than a mouse.

That's like saying that a gamepad provides more precise control than the afformentioned method
