Xbox 360 vs Playstation 3 vs Wii

http://live.pirillo.com/ - The console wars are underway, and the Wii, Playstation 3, and Xbox 360 are all fighting it out for the top spot in the video game industry. This generation of consoles has been out for a while and we want to know which one is better: the Xbox 360, Playstation 3, or the Wii?

All three systems have their bright spots and their flaws.

Sony may have bit off more than it could chew with the Playstation 3: they attempted to build a media center to end all media centers on top of a gaming platform. They also significantly increased the price of the PS3 by including a Blu-Ray drive, which limited their audience. And, they also don't offer any significant competitor to Xbox Live, which is something the modern gamer is clamoring for.

Microsoft did something very smart with the Xbox 360: they upgraded the hardware and significantly improved the Xbox Live interface. By offering gamers the best online console service they gained an upper hand on Sony and Nintendo.

The Wii didn't follow in Microsoft and Sony's footsteps. By offering a system that, in comparison to the Xbox 360 and Playstation 3, is underpowered, Nintendo was able to offer the console at a substantially lower price their the competition. Couple that with a smart marketing campaign, family friendly games, and a party atmosphere, and you have the makings of a hot product.

What do you think is better? The Xbox 360, Playstation 3, or the Wii?
