subject: The Nintendo Wii Vs The Sony Playstation 3 Vs The Microsoft Xbox 360 - Head To Head! [print this page] If you are in the market for a video gaming system for your home, you really only have a choice between the big three gaming consoles: the Microsoft Xbox 360, the Sony Playstation 3, and the Nintendo Wii. So far, it is anybody's guess who will be the big winner, but so far, the Sony PS3 and the Nintendo Wii are out in the lead.
In fact, the Nintendo Wii has a slight lead over the other two. There are three reasons for that: first, the Wii may be easier to setup; second, the Wii's games may be easier to learn and use; and third, the Wii is half the price of the other two. But the other game consoles are selling well and they each have their strong points. As with any brand new gaming systems, everyone has an opinion on which is best? Some things to consider when comparing the Wii against the PS3 are the games that go with the system, price and commitment to the gaming system. Everyone has different needs when purchasing a gaming system, so consider all your options before buying a video gaming system. Since this is a large investment in money and games, you must weigh the pros and cons of all the systems available.
