The Wii is the better video game console.

Alright, so it's the Wii vs. the PS3 (80GB). First, I will point out some of the pros of the Wii. 1. Price http://en.wikipedia.org...(seventh_generation)#Comparison The Wii goes for $250. The PS3 goes for $400. The Wii also comes with a wireless, motion-sensing controller, a nunchuck accessory to the controller, and a game, Wii Sports, that goes for about $40 in Japan, where the Wii and controllers cost $210. This means that the Wii itself is worth about $150. 2. Controller http://en.wikipedia.org... The Wii introduces a revolutionary controller, the Wiimote. This item is wireless, and has motion-sensing capabilities. It can also be used as an incredibly handy pointer to select things on an on-screen menu, or do things like fire an arrow (http://en.wikipedia.org...) or pick up star bits (http://en.wikipedia.org...). The controller also has a wide array of accessories, including: Nunchuck Classic Controller Wii Zapper Guitar Wii Wheel The Wii can also interact with another famous "controller," the Wii Balance Board. 3. Games If you look at the list of top games, rated by IGN (http://top100.ign.com...), you'll notice that Nintendo dominates. Furthermore, many games on the list are available to the Wii: 1. Super Mario Bros. (Virtual Console) 2. Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time (Virtual Console OR GameCube backwards compatibility) 5. Super Mario 64 (Virtual Console) 10. Super Metroid (Virtual Console) 11. The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past (Virtual Console) 23. Super Mario Bros. 3 (Virtual Console) 32. Resident Evil 4 (GameCube) 46. Super Mario World (Virtual Console) 52. Metroid Prime (GameCube) 58. Super Smash Bros. Melee (GameCube) 97. F-Zero (Virtual Console) Also, if you look at Screw Attack's list (http://top100.ign.com...), you'll see a similar pattern: 1. Super Mario World (VC) 2. LoZ: Ocarina of Time (VG, GC) 4. Super Mario Bros. 3 (VC) 5. Super Mario Bros. (VC) 6. LoZ: A Link to the Past (VC) 8. Super Smash Bros. Melee (GC) 9. Super Smash Bros. Brawl (Wii) 13. Super Mario Galaxy (Wii) ...And so on. I don't feel like typing this list much longer. So, Nintendo's long history of great games can all be played on the Wii. 4. Versatility The Wii isn't just usable for games. http://en.wikipedia.org... Johnny Lee has discovered how to use Wiimotes to make things like cheap smartboards. http://www.youtube.com... http://www.ascilite.org.au... "The results of our evaluations will enable us to report on the accessibility of the Wii games console and selected games for people with different disabilities. We will produce an outline specification for games that can be used in an educational context and the ways that these games might be used, for instance for therapeutic/physiotherapy purposes, for simulation of real life activities in a safe environment; and for supporting the development of key skills such as collaboration, communication and coordination. We anticipate that this project will contribute to the body of research on the use of video games in education in the context of next generation gaming and will provide a starting point for potential cross disciplinary research including, Computing, Sports Science, Health and Education." http://www.lockergnome.com... "So as I wait for the big hook up I find articles that say that the Wii can help people with disabilities with range of motion, dexterity, and burning calories. With my disability I cannot do much exercise with weights so this may be a chance to enhance my range of motion, burn off a few calories, and just return to girl gamer status of my age group." The Wii, especially Wii Fit, can be used for overall exercise, and Wii Fit is used to help people with disability rehabilitation. Now, for some cons for the PS3. 1. Price It costs $400. 2. Poor Reception http://en.wikipedia.org... "The PlayStation 3 received generally unfavorable reviews soon after its launch, with many websites and reviewers criticizing its high price and lack of quality launch games. However, after a series of price revisions, Blu-ray's victory over HD DVD, and the release of several well received titles, the system received better reviews. The PS3 was given the number-eight spot on PC World magazine's list of 'The Top 21 Tech Screwups of 2006,' where it was criticized for being "Late, Expensive, and Incompatible." GamesRadar ranked the PS3 as the top item in a feature on game-related PR disasters, asking how Sony managed to "take one of the most anticipated game systems of all time and — within the space of a year — turn it into a hate object reviled by the entire internet", but added that despite its problems the system has 'untapped potential.' Business Week summed up the general opinion by stating that it was 'more impressed with what [the PlayStation 3] could do than with what it currently does.'" 3.
