Question Posted Thursday November 16 2006, 1:03 am
Okay, I need to decide if I should get a Playstation 3 or Nintendo Wii by tomorrow afternoon. I have the money for either, but I don't know which to pick. The only Wii launch
game I like is Zelda and I like franchises on
Playstation more. But the Wii is cheaper and
has some great games like Mario, Zelda, etc.
which should I buy?
Wii - classics such as zelda, mario and others as you mentioned, considerably lower price, confusing controller, and games are going to run from $10 old to $70 new. [ god-smusgrove's advice column | Ask god-smusgrove A Question ]

The Playstation sounds like a better option for you. Enjoy! [ devilspawn_666's advice column | Ask devilspawn_666 A Question ]

Though the Wii is cheaper, I've heard that there is some concern that it wont have the game support, or number of games, that the PS3 will have. Think back to how the PS2 wasn't exactly the 'best' system at the time, but it had the lions share of titles...everything else was kinda sad, selection-wise. And the PS3...if you are going to drop $500-$600 dollars on one, depending on the version (thats what I think they are going for /shrug)...myself I'd just save the money and have a computer built. Its pretty cheap if you know someone who can put you a system together (like parts from Newegg), I'd say that you could prob get something competitive for about $1000 - you don't have to spend 2k-3k.
Now I'm not saying that the PS3 isn't an awesome thing to get; if you already have a decent comp, I'd go with the PS3 personally. But if the choice is Wii/PS3/Computer, I'd go with the computer - not only is it better for things other than gaming (and no, I'm not talking porn hehehe), most platforms simply cant compete with what computers can do. For example, MMORPG's and some really killer FPS games just arent the same (or available at all) on a console. [ Erronius's advice column | Ask Erronius A Question ]
