Should I buy a Wii or a PS3?

Question

I have $280. I don't know which one to get. I'm not a real intense hardcore video game fan, but the PS3 looks good. The Wii looks really fun. I don't know which one to get.

Oh and the PS3 is also good cause of Blu-Ray.

I can save up for a PS3.

I'm 13

Answer 1

Well if you are a hard-core gamer who plays a lot of big name titles, then go with the PS3, but if you are more of a casual gamer, go with the WII.

Answer 2

Well for me, im 31, the wii seems like a kiddie thing, at your age,( not saying your a little kid ) but i think you will tire of the wii pretty fast. There arent many Brand new games for it as far as i know, alot of remakes, i personally would rather play something new. The wii is good for that type of stuff, but i dont here many people spending hours upon hours on a wii, now the PS3, you can lose time playing this thing.

The PS3 also allows you to do things like play Blue ray, some people dont care for that kinda stuff, but im willing to bet that those people never have, once i saw a blue ray movie, i dont want nothing else. Same for games, since i've gotten the PS3, i havent touched any other games that were not Brand New, i cant even take the PS1 or PS2 graphics. Save ya money, i think you will get alot more out of the PS3 then you would a wii. They are two completely different consoles that reach two completely different markets. I was not a " Gamer  " per say, that was, untill i got my PS3.

Answer 3

PS3. My fourteen year old brother got one for Christmas and loves it!

Answer 4

Save up for PS3. I am not a hard core gamer either, but Blu-Ray is amazing on a hi-def t.v. and the games for PS3 are much better than Wii.

Answer 5

Wii they are so much fun!

Answer 6

i looove the wii, get that one!!

you can play with friends and it keeps you active

Answer 7

I would go with the Wii. Although right now, the number of quality games is limited, the PS3 isn't much better.

Plus, the Wii has lots of features that you can add to it with point cards.

Although Bu-Ray is tempting, I just don't see it ever being as popular as DVDs, so I kind of think its a waste.

Answer 8

I would say the ps3 if you are willing to wait for fun casual games to come out

(little big planet, home, singstar and many more games on the playstation network) but if your local electronics store or gamestop has a wii and you don't feel like waiting go pick it up now lol.

Answer 9

game stop!

Answer 10
