Xbox? Ps3? Wii?

Back in the early 1990's (wow, I feel so old), ammaro used to be a hardcore video-gamer. Sega Mega Drive (or Genesis), Game Gear, Nintendo Super NES and so on. He sort of got over them a while later though, and stopped playing video games for good.

Now, back in 2008, ammaro decides he has a bit of extra spare time, and figures some gaming would be good for him. Now he's stuck between buying an Xbox, a PS3, or maybe even a Nintendo Wii. Or maybe something else, he's not sure really. Just something to pass a bit of time. What do you think? Vote on the poll on the right please!

I'm totally lost in terms of what these new generation consoles offer, and any tips would be helpful, thanks :)

Poll is closed guys, thanks for the feedback. Votes came back as:
45% Xbox (20 votes)
36% PS3 (16 votes)
16% Wii (7 votes)
2% Something Else (1 vote)

join us on Krazy Kamel Forum and get to know more about the consoles. I for one have both the Wii and PS3. I play Wii games with my kids and the family. It's great in this regard. However, if you are looking for hardcore, graphics intensive, and online gaming, then PS3 or XBox are better choices.

We have a Xbox 360 and Wii.

Xbox is great for online gaming, it is just built better for it since you pay an extra fee for Xbox Live membership. Most of the time I on Xbox playing with my friends. (Most of these games are FPS)

The Wii is more every now and then. It is a great device, you can surf web, read news etc. A real companion in the living room for even watching YouTube. Games for it are more friendly and group activities.

PS3 is gaining steam. Online play is slowly getting there and so is the games list. Also it is the most advanced technology in terms of graphic and processor and dont forget it has BluRay support it.

I got the X360 and I am loving it. You will spend millions of years on the live arcade alone even if you never buy a game.

Until now, X360 has the upper hand in terms of gaming. The Wii is too kiddish for you now and the PS3 has lots of catching up to do, but nevertheless it has superb potential.

If I were you, get X360, Gears of War, two controllers and enjoy it co-op with a friend and it will be your numero uno game for a long, long while

As BuZain said, join us at Krazy Kamel.
In Short:
XBOX360: If you like Online Games and First Person Shooters.
PS3: If you like Metal Gear Solid, Final Fantasy or Gran Turismo.
Wii: If you love Nintendo's offerings: Mario Galaxy, Zeldas, Metroids, Smash Bros, Mario Kart.

They Wii is happy being either the main or companion console. The Xbox and PS3 will be fighting head to head. Most people will either have one or the other.

With a PS3 though, you can immediatly play BluRay DVDs and get the full 1080P treatment. All you need after is a solid Plasma. The Xbox can't get you that.

Mr. Seroo is a gamer and owns all three - the PS3 remains his most prized possession. If you're really into gaming and want to enjoy being infront of your TV screen completely engrossed every single day, then that's the one to get (or so it seems).

Pc games make you feel less incompetent and old, because you already know how to use a keyboard.
