*blink* Where do you live? PS3 games are the exact same price as 360 games here.

My preference goes 360 > PS3 > Wii. :x

The wii. The only good thing about it is the hands on action which makes in fun and interesting. But the games for it... Are only like that. You can't play a good whole RPG or anything on it.

PS3 > 360 > Wii, only because... well, I don't have a 360.

My problem with the Wii is that there are so few games that interest me. The ONLY game I've gotten decent playtime out of was Brawl. Everything else I own is just boring and everything available doesn't interest me. I can't wait for Tales of Symphonia 2 but aside from that, I have no reason to even keep it. :(

Yeah, I'd say so. Here, PS3 and 360 games sell for about the same: somewhere between $35 and $60, depending on the game.

EDIT: Damn, Lightning. >:(

I actually find the Dragon Ball Z: Tenkiachi range pretty fun too, but you're right.
The XBox 360 has a much better range of games, and the same thing goes for the PS3.

I'd say Wii has more interesting games than PS3 if you're counting exclusives. Most games that are great for PS3 are the same on 360 or even better on 360. I'm still waiting to get MGS4 since i haven't finished 2 and 3 yet, but once I get that I'll haev the only exclusive PS3 game I even want. I'll probably get most other things on 360.

The only two games I have for PS3 that I'm interested in are Assassin's Creed and Enchanted Arms. I love the former, but I actually have it on 360 now too and it plays so much better on it. As for the latter, I haven't touched it yet but my brother says it's good, so... XD

No reason to keep a wii? What about the sight of your friends or family doing ridiculous movements when they only need to do slight move of the hand? =O

That clarify my point, it's much better to buy the 360 than the PS3, because for one the games are cheaper, and the console (from where I live) is also much cheaper, and it also provides better quality for the games, than the PS3.

It only lasts for so long. My mum's figured it out, and I expect it won't be too much of a wait until my step dad figures it out, too.

But those movements are done on purpose because it's always fun to exaggerate movements. xD
Also my parents and uncles do the least movements because they already know how much effort to put into it. xS

That you don't need to waste energy jumping across the room, waving your arms. A simple flick of the wrist would suffice.

...It took me a little while to figure that out. 8(

I don't think my parents have found out yet, though. It's pretty funny watching them get right into the game when all they need to do is move their wrist just a little bit. imo, it's more fun getting right into it, though. XD;

I agree. It is hilarious watching you're parents, and uncles dancing around the room trying to do something simple on the wii. But it get almost sad when I watch my gradparents really get frustrated..... Hehe.

My dad tried playing Wii Sports and ended breaking one of the lamps, and then blamed me for it :| My uncle, on the other hand, wants to get one for Wii Fit. Apparently, he thinks it'll make him lose weight and stuff XD; My family is so bizarre

I broke one of my friends wii remotes when we were playing Wii sports baseball. The strap broke off when i swung and it smahed into the wall just to the right of the TV. It was really funny at first but then I had to pay for it D:

[Yeah my parents paid for it XD]

Pssh, if you're really into the game, you could care less.
Like, when I play Bleach on the Wii with my dad, we're both jumping all over the place. It's just that much more fun when you're everywhere xD

Umm.. I dont think that typing random jibberish in the DCC would be counted as a marginal error.

:|

And thats also out of topic >:


When you're playing Wii, you have a tendency to over-do it because its an active console :D

PS3>360>Wii, imo. Which is kind of ironic coming from me, seeing as I own both a Wii and 360, but no PS3...yet >_>

Then again, I don't really know too much about the actual hardware of any of the 3 systems. Hell, I'm really just saying this based off the games, and the fact that the ps3 has a built in blu-ray player. Oh, and the fact that everyone around me at this point seems to think the PS3 is better, and I just sort of..believe them ._.

As for those people who feel it necessary to run around the room, flailing their arms in the air while playing Wii...I'm one of those people. I'm not intentionally trying to make myself look like a total douchebag while playing, it just...sort of comes naturally.

I mean, I realize that a simple wave of the controller infront of the screen would suffice, but...y'know...

Personally, I think Nintendo is too high on themselves nowadays. xD;
They think because they've been successful for so many years, that they know what they're doing. Hopefully the response to the Wii brings them back to earth.

The Wii is new though. New, exciting XD

Though I can agree with you on the games bit since the only Wii game that's caught my eye is Wii Sports.

The others..? Naah... I dont really like em :>
