PS3 or Wii? If you chose today, which system would you pick.

Wii, I'm more of a casual gamer these days. I can't get into a lot of the new games that are being released. Even RE4 Wii hasn't captured my attention.

probably the ps3. after the initial "cool" factor of the wiimote, it seems to have lost its charm to me.

Its not built in, you would need the add on drive just like the other models.

If I were living at home, I would pick PS3 because I want to watch BD.

In my apartment at college, I pick Wii because I have a POS 20" CRT TV. Plus it's more of casual gaming and my friends in school would have more fun with a Wii.

Having played both, the allure of the Wii wears off very quickly

I wish it wasn't so, but the controller just seems so half-assed and ineffective, compared with its potential

I think if you're a hardcore gamer then ps3 for sure. If you're a casual gamer with nongaming friends, then the wii

PS3 for blu-ray. The next Metal Gear Solid and Grand Theft Auto games are a plus as well.

In that case PS3 all the way as soon as soon as they get a better collection of games.

wow dead even on the polls. I picked PS3 as it would be more functional for me. I want a blue ray dvd player and a media center so...

My wife always said she hated video games. I knew it wasn't completely true. I got a Wii to dupe her into playing. It worked.

Now she's better at the games than I am.

I play maybe two hours of video games per week. I don't have time to play really involved games (e.g. Bioshock, even), even though we have a 360 at our house. Since video games have almost zero priority in my life, the Wii suits what I need perfectly well.

 

[sdifox]

Wii for me, if I want to play games a la PS3, I would play it on my PC.

 

[EGGO]

PS3 for the games. Disgaea 3 and Armored Core 4 are on it. But to be truthful I don't play games anymore, really.

oh wait I lied

super smash brothers: brawl

Wii

Its not the controller man... its the games that have sucked... try RE4 or metroid and you'll realize that there is nothing wrong with the controller...
