My two favorite console are the Wii and the PS3. I liked the Wii better until I got a bunch of stuff for the PS3 for Christmas, so now I probably like the PS3 more. What does everyone else think?

The Game.

Is it after 9PM EST? You should probably ignore the above post.

They are both awesome, but I personally like Wii for a few reasons.

  • Motion Controls
  • great games
  • good for families
  • affordable games/software
  • variety of games
  • the N64 was the first Console my family got, so naturally I like nintendo
    And my #1 reason for liking the wii
  • The wii is made by nintendo, who made the DS, and Electroplankton is exclusive for DS [or in my case, DSi]

Just let it happen.

I own both and I'm gonna have to go with the PS3 because I'm not crazy about the motion controls in most of the Wii games. If more of them had Classic Controller and GameCube controller support, I might like the Wii better.

@Swiket it is bias. And to be totally honest, I am biased about nintendo, but I still have an xbox [I want to get a 360 sometime, but not until my birthday], and I look forward to playing my friends PS3 once he gets it in the mail [allow two weeks for delivery, ughh.]
Oh, and were you reffering to the N64 reason, the electroplankton reason, or both?

Slightly, though I really do love Electroplankton [it is my favorite game of all time]. In other words, Nintendo made my favorite game of all time, whereas microsoft made my 4th favorite game of all time [Halo 2 FTW]

Technically, they just published it I guess. Bungie made it, but it's on a microsoft console, so I just count it as a microsoft game.

I have a Wii, alot of great games, but some really gimmickiy (and it's sad that most of the consoles library is shovelware) so I might get myself a 360 down the line for more hardcore stuff.

Right now I like my PS3 more than I like my Wii,but that's because I just got it and I just finished the best game ever,Metal Gear solid 4.

I hear its amazing when the famous purple stuffed worm in flap-jaw space with the tuning fork does a raw blink on hari-kiri rock!!! I NEED SCISSORS!!! 61!!!

I just got a new PS3 slim so it's getting a bit of love at the moment, but the Wii wins out for the 1st party titles alone, though the retro love is much greater on the Wii than the PS3.

Though I will admit if there's a game that comes out on both consoles (ie: the Lego series) I'll generally buy the PS3 version of it

I have both but like the Wii better mostly because of the major 1st party franchises and Virtual Console. But I do enjoy playing the best games out on a technical level, so that's why I have a PS3.

These are two totally different systems with two totally different reasons to like them (with the exception of playing games). They're two very different controllers, different kinds of games, one with Blu-ray support (which doesn't help much, since everybody already has a DVD player), one that can only play games (All games from the systems country, all Gamecube games, and a ton of VC), etc. The only real similarity that isn't so broad (they're both video game systems) I see is that they both have really good download services.

That's a hrad choice. One, I dislike the fact that more developers aren't giving the wii much love outside of crappy ports. So PS3 wins because it has big games like Batman: Arkham Asylum. I like multiplayer (local co-op mostly) so Wii wins for that, simple fun developed well. Not to mention being backwards compatible with all my game cube games and controllers, so I can pop in Melee or Double Dash or even F-Zero GX for some great last gen fun. So PS3 loses on those fronts. But really, in terms of good overall games, PS3 wins just because of access to more than first party games. So the Wii and PS3 are about level in my opinion. I say play what ya feel like.

Yeah I like PS3 better probably cause of controller, multiplayer (ecspecially on Uncharted 2) kills the Wii's, and I do like their exclusives a whole lot. (Uncharted 2...) Also the Playstation Store is awesome, with add-on packs and all that good stuff. Oh yeah, Uncharted 2 is the single greatest game ever made. Uncharted 2 is worth buying a PS3 for!

That's a tremendous statement, my friend.

Well it's true, and I actually own the game, and I haven't just played the demo like you have.
