Guest Guest_cw30 Posted June 17, 2007 Report Share Posted June 17, 2007 do a market research on the games you like and make sure they are available either in Wii or PS3 .. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sotongball Posted June 17, 2007 Report Share Posted June 17, 2007 dear lonely,First thing to consider is of course your budget: a PS3 costs $799 and a Wii can cost anything from $499 to $647. Currently there is no ability for the PS3 to play backup copies (read: pirated) games while modded Wii's are easily available in SG. An origianl PS3 or Wii game costs roughly the same price ($79.90 or so)Second thing is the longevity of the console, the PS3 is made with a 10 year lifecycle in mind while the Wii is now very hot though, is dubbed as a fad that will can only last for another year at most. So if you're investing in a console, and you want instant satisfaction with you console, go for the Wii. If you are looking for a console that will provide mind blowing graphics and all kinds of value addedness such as the Blu-Ray player, no doubt its gonna be PS3Lastly, its the type of gamers that each console cater to, I would say PS3 is more for hardcore gamers like myself while the Wii is targeted more towards the general public, especially those who have not touch video games before.Ultimately it's you who decides which console worth placing your money on. No doubt I will get my PS3 in the near future once FFXIII and MGS4 are out and to be honest I placed a pre-order for a Wii which I'll be able to pick it up once I come back to SG Quote http://rawsotongball.blogspot.com????????????????????

lonely Posted June 17, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 17, 2007 Thanks sotongball, cw30 for your replies.Currently I am more set to get a Wii. I know Wii is slightly cheaper but I have to at least get another controller. So I think it will be about the same.I will definitely get PS3 too, but probably like you I will get it once FF13 is out.

oralb Posted June 18, 2007 Report Share Posted June 18, 2007 1 word - GAMESno one buy the game console just for itself, it is the games that's promted that decision.look through the current list of PS3 and Wii games, which one interest you, look at the 1 year development of the games, which is better.if you can ONLY afford 1 console (unlike our dear STB that can but all 2 of them ) then list down the games and see which one has the most games you wanted to play...
