PS3 or Wii

No offense chairboy, but those games are not what im interested in.

Rayman, Elebits and Zelda are what i consider kiddie games / uninspired fantasy games.

Look up the trailers of the games I mentioned above in the Xbox360.


I think the Wii is really marketted to families with young children (for which it IS wonderful im sure)  but not for a grown up audience. Nintendo has been this way since their first console release really.



RPM: Ask her what games she has/likes. Im curious. Its hard to find a lineup of Wii games on the net.

They're sending out new straps to anyone who requests them.  They aren't recalling anything.

The straps being replaced on request (not recalled) isn't a commentary on Nintendo, it's a condemnation of the Wiitards who throw their controllers at their TVs.

I have an Xbox 360, love it.  There are a fair amount of games for it, and it is quite a bit of fun.  F.E.A.R. is awesome as is Gears of War.

I also pre bought a PS3 for the sole reason of reselling it.  Sold it on Ebay for over $2500.00 profit.
I regret doing business with TD Computer Systems.

My Rating :  3/10
- and its all because it has few games.


How on earth can you claim that it has "few games"?

Check:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Xbox_360_games

http://www.xbox.com/en-US/games/xbox360games.htm

http://www.metacritic.com/games/xbox360/

I'd say that there are quite nice selection of games, including quite a lot of very good games as well.

And it has Xbox Live system, where you can download free games or buy games online. The downloadable demos are great stuff too. I got about 20 playable demos of 360 games on my HD right now. They're a great way to try out the new games, without playing a penny.

I got to say that in my opinion 360 definitely has the huge edge on games quantity and quality over Wii and PS3, which isn't much of a surprise as it has been on market for over a year now.
