What do you think about new videogames: do you prefer the gameplay of the Wii or the power of the Playstation 3? Personnaly, I prefer the Wii because it's cheaper and I prefer the new gameplay. For me, pwer doesn't matter, It's was important when the 3D began but now, as games are almost all the same, i think that Nintendo has had a very good idea to invent a new gameplay (like with the DS)
What is your opinion?, Do you prefer high technology or originality? Do you prefer buying expensive but powerful playstation 3 or cheaper and new Wii?

The Wii looks so cool! But i just saw an article on Comcast yesterday saying it was breaking people's TVs? I didn't read the article, so I'm not sure what it's about...

Still, you really have to be throwing your wiimote hard if you want it to break the strap and still have enough momentum to break the screen. Whoever did such a thing was seriously out of control.

I bought both. I actually waited in line for 3 days for my playstation 3 and for my wii i waitted 6 hours after work and recieved it. The playstation 3 i should have sold because at the moment its over priced and only one game is out that is really good. Also, I love the wii's gameplay. You cant get sick of it. I keep playing over and over wii sports and bowling. I want to top all my records over and over. My high score is 235 iin bowling but I'm trying so hard to get a perfect 300. So i perfer you to go with wii. Playstation 3 wait for half a year or a year to buy it.

My hubby and I do intend to purchase both, but we are getting the Wii first. The playstations are always overpriced when they first come out, you have to wait almost a year before they come down to a normal price. The Nintendo looks a lot more fun to me too, the gameplay looks awesome. And I am with you on the graphics, they all look the same now, I can't tell who has better stuff.

Well i think that playstation 3 is much better than nintendo wii. But it is cheaper so i think that many people would go for it.

It "is" cheaper - but sheesh, the prices on these consoles and games is really climbing to ridiculous heights, especially when my kids can have a game beat within a few weeks time...and the trade-in prices are laughable. But, that being said, I am very interested in the Wii. I'm wondering how much room it actually requires in terms of players feeling comfortable.
The first thing I thought of when I saw it is that we really are moving towards long-anticipated sci-fi level sports - hahahaha!

I prefer the gameplay of the wii then the ps3.Because the wii is a whole new way of playing.The ps3 is the same thing with some blue ray disc and better graphics processor.

I prefer high tech and originality combined, wii has some originality and xbox has tech but only ps3 combine both.
You've never played disgaea and phantom brave on ps2 have you?
These games are very original. In which other game can you use your own enemy or even yourself as a weapon?
The only good game on wii will be mario, zelda and metroid, just like the gamecube.
Those games are really the best of their genre but any other games are just boring very average games.
Though my brother have a gamecube, I really regret not being able to play mario and the latest zelda since he doesn't want to buy them.
But ps2 have so much more grewillat games and Ps3 be the same.

I think that I would purchase the Wii in the near future, it's way more affordable than the ps3, as much as I want one I will buy the nintendo system, I've always been a big fan of nintendo anyways. Right now I have all three systems, ps2, gamecube and xbox.

Like what's been circling around the net lately, my answer would be that if you're a hardcore gamer then the powerhouse ps3 is for you. If you're not a serious gamer, go for the Wii. Me, I'll stick with the ps2 until the price of the ps3 goes down significantly.

i think of the playstation 3 in my opinion although you do have a point there. its all the same game and everything, and yea one may be expensive than the other, but somehow i still would rather get the playstation 3. maybe, ill end up getting a wii as well.

The Nintendo Wii will be absolutely great. It's only weak point are the graphics that are not at pace with the other next gen consoles. The revolutionary controller and the possiiblity to download almost all games made for the older consoles will provide tons of fun!
