gaming console - XBox 360, PS3 or Wii?

[ankur rathi]

Hi,

Which gaming console you'll suggest to me? XBox 360, PS3 or Wii?

My background about games is, I used to play loads of Video games, infact, I was a champ in games like Contra, Mario, Road Fighter & many more, then I couldn't continue my interest on PC games as I didn't like playing games with keyboard (it wasn't comfortable). I never played on XBox or PS or Wii.

Please suggest.

Thanks.

I have a PS3 and really like it. But I have to admit that I use it more to watch Blu-ray movies and stream from Netflix than to play games.

PS3 is an amazing device, I like it so much.

I chose the Wii for one reason... I rarely play video games (for a long period of time) anymore. Not that I outgrown it, it's just that life too busy now, and other things have higher priority. The only game series that still seems to hold my attention (for a long period) is "The legend of Zelda", which is only available on Nintendo game systems.

Wii game experience is amazing. I have not played Xbox or PS3.

I also have Wii Fit which really a fun to play with, either you wanna dance, exercise, do yoga etc...

Sony and HP have also introduced motion sensing game consoles similar to Wii.

Based on the games you liked to play as a child, it sounds like a Wii is more along your lines.

About time consuming, most XBox360 and PS3 games tend to take a long time to complete. Which makes the games a great value, but sometimes you just want to play for a short period of time and leave, and I think the games on Wii are more towards that type of game.

I played on Wii last weekend for the first time, at my friend's home.
Tennis is really fun & a good exercise too.

It depends on the games you like. Games for Wii and games for PS3/XBox360 are very different. I like "realistic" sports games and FPS. I'd never go for a Wii. The Xbox360 offers me what I like.

Very true.
I think Wii is different than XBox 360 & PS3.

As Nikes mentioned, Sony (PS3) has introduced motion sensing games, Are they similar to Wii? Anyone has experience?

Go for the Wii... You will end up doing some exercise as you play some games. I had a PS3 and I liked it.

i would say ... you should go for PS3 because it provides with a huge variety if games to choose from ... and moreover is more than just realistic ... go for PS3 ... sony rocks

Does PS3 have good collection of arcade(war, chase, etc) games? This seems attractive, because the slim version also has WiFi/Bluetooth capability.
