Per Goalie204, we're all girls or little kids... I guess you have to pick a side.
I suppose I'll be a little kid. |

We have both consoles and like them for what they are. I prefer the PS3 simply because it is more or less a computer. I stream internet content from a program called Tversity. It also allows me to view whatever I have stored on my computer to the PS3. Gran Toursimo,Fallout3,sport games are fargin awesome on the PS3. We really like the family oriented games on the Wii and play it together a lot. The game controllers are more fun to use. Not very good for the usual console games. I have Far Cry and a couple racing games but their not great on the Wii.

Stick with the Wii. It actually has a number of excellent games.

If your looking for longevity and a wide variety of great games the ps3 is the way to go. I have a wii and love it though. However, third party game support for the wii (and most nintendo systems historically) is pretty low. If you look at the top rated games for most nintendo systems they are almost always in house games from nintendo. For example, Mario Galaxy, Super smash brothers, Zelda, Mario Party. That isn't necessarilly a bad thing because those games are phenomenal, however the list of third party games for the wii that are of that calibur is very short (rayman raving rabids being one of my favorites).
As for sony systems they typically have high quality games coming out for their systems even late into the life cycles of the system (look at the ps2). Granted if your kid is of a younger age I would probaby go with the wii because it does offer many great games that are playable by young and old alike. However, the ps3 will offer a wide variety of games for a longer period of time, yet they will be geared toward an older crowd. BTW, not to hijack the thread but if anyone knows of a place that is selling new metal gear sold 4 ps3 bundles that are backwards compatible and aren't price gouging can you shoot me a pm. They seem to be out everywhere unless your willing to pay a ridiculous price for them. I just bought a 60" dlp and need to finally pick up my ps3. Thanks

We have both and in the end I tend to hit the PS3 10-1 over the Wii. My wife prefers the Wii, but also will not sit down and play the regular games. We have guitar hero and rock band for the PS3 and she will play them and likes both. In the long run PS3 tends to be the traditional game console and while the Wii has some very good games, they tend to be Wii specific some almost to the point of a gimmick.

Perhaps in my drunken state, i didn't express myself correctly. I didn't mean that wii is only for kids and females. I was referring to the xbox employee's statement from last yea rthat it is for kids ( http://repriisent.blogspot.com/2007/...-for-kids.html ) sarcastically.
I thought everyone knew about this, it was a big deal among my friends and I, as literally all my friends have wii's and love them, and we're all over 28 (including my 38 year old sister). I guess sarcasm can't be detected in posts ;/ I apologize if I offended anyone, and shall not be using the intarweb upon drinking lage quantities of vodka anymore. sorry ![]() |

I have both (had the wii for a while, just got the ps3 last week). Love golf and the other fun sports-type games on the wii. Plus MarioKart--that is blast. The graphics on PS3 are far superior, it seems like there are more games I'm interested in, and it's a blu-ray player. So, again, I just think it comes down to what you're looking for in a system.
I'm not a gamer and haven't owned a video game console since 8-bit Nintendo, but I've been having a blast with both systems.

Had to replace the sensor today on the Wii, the tiny wire it connects to got cut so we went with a Nyko wireless sensor that works great. Really don't have any serious complaints about either system. Very happy with both.
