You’re a drooling devotee of gaming consoles. You obviously know the two hottest consoles in existence, right? Nintendo Wii and PlayStation 3. Each is extremely popular, the Wii is made by Nintendo, duh, and the PS3 is produced by the Sony Corporation.

The PS3 and the Wii offer gamers state of the art sounds and graphics. Indeed, many would argue that difference between them is slim.

Lets start the comparison with Nintendo Wii. A basic set-up costs about $250. A small, sleek modern case. A wireless remote, called the Wii-mote, the main controller to game play is provided.
A motion sensing system tracks movements of the players during game play. It is this element that makes the Nintendo wii a revolution in gaming consoles. The ability to play most all previous Nintendo console games & a special on-line service with exclusive games and entertainment features makes Wii an fantastic value.

Now the PlayStation, the console is an out of date black hulking box that will cost upwards of $500 . Equipped with a hard drive, optical drive (Blu-ray), wireless controllers (Bluetooth), high-definition video and wireless Wi-Fi networking port. PS3 has a memory card that can read SD cards and Compact Flash. Undeniably, the Play Station out-powers the Wii.
Graphics are usually better as-well. Just add a monitor, mouse and keyboard, and the PS3 becomes your PC.

When comparing the different features of Nintendo Wii and the Sony PlayStation 3, the PS3 has the most features for sure, especially for hard-core gamers. However, Wii has achieved higher sales. In fact, the combined sales of the PS3 and another competitor, the Microsoft Xbox 360, do not even come close to the sales volume of Nintendo Wii. Despite PS3’s better graphics and overall media, Wii remains the top seller among all game consoles. Perhaps it’s because of its limited supply on the market. However, since PS3 is more expensive, a lot of gamers prefer to get a Wii bundle package which is less costly, and includes much much more. I’m sure the revolutionary motion sensing technology of the Wii has a lot to do with it as well.

These are just some of the differences between the Nintendo Wii and Sony PlayStation 3, but they are important ones. You must now make a decision.  Choose wisely and make sure that you choose the one that you can afford and one that you will enjoy playing without feeling like you made a mistake.

I’ve been playing games for a number of years and I think I’ve tried almost every game console that is available on the market.  Whenever I heard that Nintendo was coming out with a new game system and that it was going to provide a different style of gameplay for it’s users, I was one of the first in line to get it.  The popularity of the Nintendo Wii game console has taken many people by surprise but the fact of the matter is, it is unlike any other game that you have ever played in your life.  As a matter of fact, after playing the Nintendo Wii on a regular basis, it is difficult to go back to playing standard game systems again.

The main reason why the new Nintendo Wii game console is so different from the others is because the controller allows you to interact with the game in a unique way.  Inside each of the controllers are gyroscopes which allow you to control movement on the screen by mimicking what is happening.  For example, with the bowling game that comes prepackaged with the Nintendo Wii game console, you actually hold the controller in your hand and move your arm as if you were bowling the ball.  Many other Nintendo Wii games are very similar to this and it is amazing how enjoyable they are to play.

One other reason why the Nintendo Wii game console is so enjoyable is because it gives a lot of options for family fun which other game systems do not provide.  As a matter of fact, I’ve had a difficult time in the past finding any games that were both suitable for my young children and that I would enjoy playing as well.  The Nintendo Wii definitely overcame this by providing an interactive type of gameplay that simply is not available with any other game system.  Of course, there are plenty of games that keep me entertained as well once the children are tucked into bed.

If you have not yet tried the Nintendo Wii game system, you really don’t know what you’re missing.  It is, hands down, the most enjoyable gaming experience that I have ever had.  Once you have the console in front of you and the controller in your hand, you will realize just how addicting this game can be.  As a matter of fact, you may never play a regular game again.
