Games console: Nintendo wii, or playstation 3?

Question

I am thinking of getting either ps3 or Nintendo wii for my 2 sons, but unsure which one to get(they are ages 4 and 8).

Which do you prefer? Bear in mind that the main people playing will be my kids, so the graphics dont have to be amazing.

Answer 1

The ps3 is a nice gift for your sons, the wii too. I prefer ps3 because some wii can give us problems with our health. But remember is bad for your  son/s' health. I wish you luck in thinking about it. :)

Answer 2

Wii all the way me and my sister have one and we're on it for ages there's so many cool games and its not even complicated.. whereas the PS3 is quite complicated and games r more expensive.

Answer 3

Answer 4

Answer 5

Well here is a list of pros and cons:

Wii:

Suits all ages, fun for the whole family and you can exercise (Wii Fit, sold seperatly), the price is amazing, you can surf the net (it supports java and flash)

PS3:

Built in blu-ray player, Price is umm, okay..., Games around mature-ish,

So overall, since it'll be played by children 4-8, you should get a Wii.

Hope this helps

Definitely the Nintendo wii its much better for kids, they will have hours of fun on it and at least they're exercising more than just their thumbs!

Answer 11

Nintendo Wii!!!

They have A LOT of games suited for ages 4-13 games. The Wii is also more simpler, though the graphics aren't the best...The games are also cheaper for Wii than PS3....but, the Wii can't watch movies for it...if you really want them to have fun, choose the Wii (the best console in this generation!)
