Nintendo Wii vs. PS3
A Comparison
Which game console is the best, The Nintendo Wii or PS3? That is
exactly what many video game lovers are asking themselves these
days. The answer lies in the hands of the beholder, for both the
Nintendo Wii and the PlayStation 3 have totally different
playing styles.
The Nintendo Wii offers a revolutionary new way
to experience video games with the advent of the motion-sensing
technology that it’s Wii Remote and Nunchuk game controllers
use.
The PlayStation 3 offers the
more conventional gamers experience albeit with some incredible
upgrades for graphics, performance and multimedia.
It all depends on what type of gaming experience you want to
have. Do you feel like standing up and mimicking actions of
swinging a club, bat or racket? How about rolling a bowling ball
down the alley? The Nintendo Wii offers an virtual playground for
just about anyone to step onto. Hardcore gamers will say that the
Wii’s graphics are some what lacking and cartoon-ish, but I think
that’s the trade off Nintendo was making, let’s offer a game
console that gives crazy fun, fast and easy games so that anyone
could have a riot playing together.
On the other side maybe you feel like total in game
impressiveness through vivid high definition ‘looks so stinkin
real’ graphics the PS3 is there. The PS3 does have it’s ‘Motion
Sensing System’ for the SIXAXIS controller but unlike the
Nintendo Wii, the console isn’t
built around the Motion Sensing System, some games are not
compatible and will not use this function. Sony says
next-generation consoles need next-generation formats like
Blu-ray Disc, offering developers the power to incorporate high
levels of interaction, sophistication and reality into their
game titles.
Nintendo Wii vs. PS3 is a matter of preference
really, you can’t just pick out a winner based on specs. You can
however pick out a winner for yourself based on how much fun you
have playing with the consoles.
In the Nintendo Wii vs. PS3 battle, you may
find the two game consoles being compared according to their
prices. This is also how you can pick out a winner based on how
much cash your willing to pay. The PlayStation 3 is offered at
prices of $499 to $599. On the other hand, the Nintendo Wii is offered for a price as low
as $249. Obviously, the Nintendo Wii holds the favor here,
but if you have the cash get both.
Aside from the prices, in terms of backward compatibility, both
the Nintendo Wii and the PS3 are backward compatible. This means
that both of the game consoles can play your favorite games that
belonged to your previous video game console. It is also worth
noting that in most Nintendo Wii vs. PS3
comparisons, both of the video game consoles are said to be “always
on”. This means that both of them are capable of continuous
online connectivity, for multiplayer gaming, text and video
messaging, voice chat, downloading content or even browsing the
internet.
So which game console are you going to choose? No, reading many
Nintendo Wii vs. PS3 comparisons won’t actually
give you an idea as to how much fun you’re going to have, so the
best way to figure this all out is to, play them!
