Here's Why
The Nintendo Wii: Best Console on the Market
Summary: A look at why the Nintendo Wii is better than the Xbox 360 and the PS3.
What is the best system on the market? That question is an easy one to answer. The answer is, of course, the Nintendo Wii. But why is it the best system on the market? Below are the 6 reasons why it is the best.
1. The first reason why the Nintendo Wii is the best system on the market is because it is the cheapest. You can buy the Nintendo Wii for a shocking $250. The price for the Sony PS3 is about $600-$700 and the price for the Xbox 360 is about $300-$400. So if you are looking to buy a fun game system for the cheapest price you should go for the Nintendo Wii.
2. The new Nintendo Wii has been completely revolutionized. The new remote control makes it feel as if you are actually playing in the video game. The controller, called the Wii Remote, is a one-handed controller that uses infrared detection to sense its position in any 3D space. With this you are now able to control the game using physical movements or the traditional buttons. No other console allows you to be involved with the gaming experience as the Nintendo Wii does through its Wii Remote.
If you compare the Wii to the Playstation 3 it is not even a competition for size. The Playstation 3 weighs 11 lbs, 8.3 lbs heavier than the Nintendo Wii. The measurements of the system are 12.8 in. deep, 4.32 in. deeper than the Wii, 10.8 in. tall, 4.62 in. taller than the Wii, and 3.9 in. wide, 2.17 in. wider than the Wii.
If you compare the Wii to the Playstation 3 it is still not even a competition for size. The Xbox 360 weighs in at 7.7 lbs, 5 lbs. heavier than the Wii. The Xbox 360 is 3.27 in. wide, 1.54 in. wider than the Wii, 10.15 in. deep, 1.67 in. deeper than the Wii, and 12.15 in. tall, 5.97 in. taller than the Wii.
4. If you are looking to buy a system for the family than you should look at the Nintendo Wii. Generally, the Nintendo Wii is seen as a more family console and the majority of its games are aimed at the E rating. The Playstation 3 is more aimed at the Teen rating and the Xbox 360 is more aimed at the Mature rating. The Nintendo Wii is also set up to be easier to use than the other consoles which will help with the older people trying to use the console.
5. Unlike the PS3 and the Xbox 360 that are not fully backward compatible, the Nintendo Wii is. The Nintendo Wii will be able to play all official Nintendo GameCube software and most of the GameCube peripherals. If you are looking to play GameCube games on the Wii you have to have a GameCube controller because the new controllers will not work for the system. Also, you will have to have a GameCube Memory Card in order to save because the Wii internal flash memory will not save GameCube games.
6. If you are a parent looking to control what games your kids can play the Wii is the system for you. The console has parental controls in which you are able to prohibit younger users from playing games inappropriate for them. The parental code lock only works with Nintendo Wii games, not Nintendo GameCube games. The only way your children will be able to play a game that is ranked higher than the lock level on the console is if they have an override password.
Those are just six of the reasons why you should buy a Nintendo Wii over the PS3 and Xbox 360.
