Wii vs. Xbox

My friends and I have been arguing a lot lately about which is the better console. They say Xbox is better, I say Wii is better. I want to let them know how much better Wii is! So you decide! Xbox  neutral  or Wii  big_smile

Re: Wii vs. Xbox

Personally, I think the smiles bias the responder towards the Wii, even though it is better for parties. But if you are just going to play by yourself, don't buy either. It'll be a waste of money that will just collect dust after the hype of playing the game has gone away.

Re: Wii vs. Xbox

As being more of a Sony fan, I would say PS2 (or PS3 if you got the cash), but Xbox. They just have better games. The Wii just doesn't have very many good games out there. There are a few though, like Mario Kart and Brawl. I like all, but in this case, Xbox.

Re: Wii vs. Xbox

Wii has replay value! Anybody who says that they just collect dust has obviously only played it at a party. I've had mine for over a year and still play daily.
Plus, Nintendo is the oldest company that still manufactures consoles. (I think. Go prove me wrong in a thousand ways.)

Re: Wii vs. Xbox

I got my wii just for super smash bros brawl. Most of wii's games aren't the greatest, but at least there are more types of games. Xbox pretty much only has shooting games.

Re: Wii vs. Xbox

Wii games are alot of fun and are very kid freindly. However, Xbox games are much more teen oriented, have much, much better graphics and has alot more big titles. I like the Wii because while I think a shooting game is fun once in a while, especially with a freind, I prefer games like mario kart and brawl. My friends think I am crazy but I do.  smile

Re: Wii vs. Xbox

Wii is the overall better system. With some great titles (Sonic unleashed, Mario Kart Wii, SSBB, Metroid Prime 3, Super monkey ball IMO, The Legend of Zelda, the list goes on and on...) and graphics that are nothing to sneeze at and OUTBLITERATES the Xbox via gameplay to the 15,000th demension, the wii is the overall better choice. Better for friends aswell...>_>

Re: Wii vs. Xbox

The wii is so much more successful than the xbox though. Nintendo needed to do something new to stay competitive, and the wii is that something new.

The wii almost has more sales than the xbox360 and the PS3 combined (0.5% to go)

How would you like it if you had been killed in a war... with a family... and actual people knew and loved you... and you saw people enjoy making fun of your sacrifice? No thanks. Give me a Wiimote any day.

Re: Wii vs. Xbox

I prefer Wii to both PS3 and Xbox because:
1. The games have high replay value
2. Gameplay > Graphics
3. Zelda. 'nuff said.

Re: Wii vs. Xbox

The 360 is good because it has better developed games than the Wii. It may run into software problems or legacy issues, but over all, the 360 has better games. The 360's games seem "teen" to everybody, but if you average out all the possible ratings, AO, M, T, E10 and E, you see that T is right in the middle. Quite apparently, the 360 is aiming towards a wide audience.

As for all of the people like Big-Bang, I think they are being irrational. War never changes, so even if we did beat the Nazis 64 years ago, their will always be another threat. Someone is always going to act like a Nazi. War is bloody, but they make video games because war can also be a challenge. Saying that they shouldn't make games about war doesn't work because war is an epic conflict, even if it is horrible. War is what drives technology, like a volcano fertilizes soil. It forces us to survive, to improvise. It destroys complacency at it very root. So if you think that video games about war are evil, I think you need to understand some of the greater implications of war.

Microsoft produces average games, but Nintendo has a more, how should I put this, Broader view on what games should be about.

   Take... Mario for example. He is a plumber going to save the princess of his kingdom from a spiney shelled turtle/dragon!
now that is different from war, don't you think? STill not convinced?! ok then.

  Take Sega's Sonic the Hedgehog! A lightning fast Hedgehog who smashes through various robots to foil Dr. Eggmans plans. If your not convinced by that! You force me to unleash....

                                   *drumroll*

....... Billy Hatcher and the Giant Egg! A kid who finds a magical chicken suit that gives him the power to hatch giant eggs that hold some cute little animal with super powers! He goes around and fights off the crows, who are taking over the world and making it all night!

    ..... If your still not convinced then one word good sir! Tetris.

Re: Wii vs. Xbox

This is so obvious, Xbox 360 is the best, the ps3 2nd, then wii is 1000th, wii so sucks so bad. bad graphics, bad games, bad online multiplayer, patheic processor. I bet I can make a game that is better and has better graphics with SCRATCH.

Good luck. Somebody is going into the future of immersive games kicking and screaming.

...and isn't it logistically impossible to be 1000th out of 3?
