I will give you a un-biase opignion I own both wii and 360.

The 360 is for those who play to win. Trying to get those hard achevments, or getting at a high lv in a shooter, or leveling up to be all powerful in a RPG. the online of the 360 is far superior then the wii. You can download movies, old games or arcade games ( the bests are Marble Blast Ultra, UNO and Geometrie Wars), downloadable contente to extend a games life, or download some game trailers and demos to see what you wanna buy in the future. Fps is what the 360 is all about. But, there are other good role playing titles like the famous RPG Oblivion (1 of my all time fav games), assassins Creed (fun but might get repetitive, so play in short doses), and mass effect (there is alot of talking, but most people like it) and rythm games like rock band or Guitar Hero 3. Games that are most looked forward to this year: Rainbow Six:Vegas2, GearsOfWars2, Fable 2, GrandTheftAuto:4, Unreal tournament 3(already on the PS3) and Soul Caliber 4. and Now im sure you heard the 360 has alot of problems. My frind has his 360 since June 2006 and it never had any problem. I have mine since January 2007 and it never had a problem except for the tray somtimes wont come out but it just needs a simple light tap and it will open right away. Now if you still fear that your 360 will brake, microsoft has promise every 360 owner a 3 year warranty. http://www.xbox.com/en-US/support/sy...antyupdate.htm

Note: I just got my wii so I might not have all the facts straight.The Wii is a good laid back systeme for 1 or with friends. You can just pick it up and play and have fun. It is great if you have friends or a girlfriend as it is easy to get into and has simple games. Yes the online is free, but is rather annoying. the fact of no voice, no Names (instead you get wii codes such as 1342-4534-6543). The best wii games are Legend of Zelda:TwilitePrincess, Super Smash Bros Brawl, Super Mario Galaxie, Mario Party 8 ,Wario Wares:Smooth Moves, Wiisports and Wii play. the Wii ofers Virtual console lets you download old games from previous console just like the 360 but much more awsome! Alot of the the old games the 360 can dowload, the wii can too. Plus you get to play some old clasics such as paper mario, super mario world, Mario bros and star fox 64. The Wii`s titles for this year was SSBB and Mario Kart wii. I havnt heard much things about the wii breaking since none of my friends own a wii (yet, they tend to do what I do) and this is my first wii community, and im rather new here, but if you look on the site you can probobly find somethings.

In the end its all about personnal choice, but may I recommend that you should buy whatever your friends have. It is more fun to play with other, then to play with yourself.

As much as I love my SSBB, sadly I would have to agree with Vidya. It's very low low low quality compared to XBL experience. It should get better of course, but with all the "handicaps" SSBB online mode has, it will still be light years away from the 360's online.

But im not really gonna give an answer to OP and in reality you should not listen to anyone really because most people are biased, just pick what you think you will enjoy more. I have both consoles and they both offer a different experience.

very good advice...hmm..such a hard choice = \!!!

Carts

Thats why I said I might not have all the wii facts straight. The only game I nkow in there is Metroid

{Axtlár}

I would choose Wii...it's got a rich history behind hence the Smash Bros games..Microsoft or SONY would never have anything like that, all they get are FPS games...anyway, if you'll just get one console because "it has better graphics and online play" then you are just a pebble that gets carried away as sediment with the river flowing.

Yeah, Carts, there's many other great games for the Wii like Resident Evil Umbrella Chronicles, RE4, Mario Strikers Charged, Sonic and the Secret Rings, Red Steel, Elebits, among others...and I don't think Mario Party is even good.

Prime example of why you should not listen to the average Wii Chat person because this is a Wii forum and most of them are biased or they are just misinformed. There are PLENTY of non FPS games. Hell the next 5 or so games I do plan on buying for my 360 are not FPS games.

get a xbox 360 first. that should occupy you until you can get a wii. (cod4, mass effect, halo, bioshock, orange box and gears 2 later this year) then if your box gets the red rings you will have brawl to back you up which is the number 1 reason to own a wii. and super mario galaxy is nice

{Axtlár}

Stoop kid enforced my point right there...all the games he mentioned for the 360 are FPS . And what red rings? can someone explian that to me?

xbox 360 has a bunch of good games that arent first person shooters. like mass effect and ...... o yea thats about it. good point. thats why you need to eventually get both, but i just think the online service of xbox live would be able to hold you over longer than the games on wii would. red rings of death is when your xbox 360 goes into hardware failure and will not work. it is caused by overheating problems in the xbox. however there is a now a three year warranty and microsoft is taking steps into solving that problem. that should not deter you from getting an xbox though. but the wii is a good choice too. i guess i wasn't much help

T3kNi9e

Thats because certain people only mention games that are widely known.

There's Oblivion, Mass Effect, Forza Motorsports 2, Burnout Paradise, Virtua Fighter 5, Dead or Alive 4, Dead Rising, Devil May Cry 4, Crackdown, Assassins Creed, Lost Odyssey, Viva Pinata, etc. etc. Also there's Too Human, GTA4, Fable 2, Ninja Gaiden 2, Splinter Cell Conviction, Gears of War 2, Fallout 3, etc. that are due for this year.

You could keep going, but im just making a point.

i think i should get both...but as you said i think the xbox will hold me longer...I would LOVE to get the wii but I guess in the end I dont think SSBB will be good enough of a game to out wiegh the online Multiplayer games the 360 has to offer.

stoopkid18

Good call. It is kind of a win win situation though because both consoles are great. If you get a box though make sure you get Bioshock. That game was too fun.

COLDshiver

If you can't decide which console to get, get a PC! If you like shooters, the PC will definitely satisfy your needs. Most likely you already have a PC so just upgrade it to a decent gaming rig.

I own all three consoles and an awesome gaming rig, all via lifeguarding lol. I'll try to give you an unbiased opinion. I always consider the PC king, so I will leave the PC out of this.

The Wii offers really fun quick and easy gameplay. Games are just pick up and play and are especially fun if you have friends over. Wii sports always seems to be the 'default' game when we are bored and we've had many many intense tennis matches. Wii sports is definitely not a 100% casual game, you can get pretty intense if both sides are pretty good. As for hardcore games for the Wii, Brawl offers the best multiplayer fighting game right now and is definitely worthy of the one reason to buy a Wii. The Wii has the cool controls and the 'cool' thing to have these days because everyone knows about it. It's especially great to pick up chicks. If they know you have a Wii or you could bring it over and you could play together. easy. It's always "is that the thing where you move your arms around and play tennis on?" "yea, I have one, wanna play?" "Definitely most likely yes." The online play for Brawl, as of right now, is at it's lowest. Being crippled by all the people trying to play online. It will get better however, give it time. same thing happened to Mario Strikers Charged, disconnections and crazy lag the first week. After that, (and now) it's all smooth sailing and the only lag you get is only because of your own internet connection or the other player.

The 360 offers superb online play. Especially since you pay for it and they do a great job. Definitely worth it. Matchmaking, demos, etc. The whole marketplace is easy and online play is superb. You can get a mic too and that adds an element of fun when you dominate someone. For the 360, it's all about online. Single player is great but it's the online that sells it. As you said, games like Halo 3 and CoD4 are great. Don't forget the new Army of Two and Frontlines: Fuel of War. Both awesome games. If you have a decent internet connection and not afraid to shell out $50 a year, then it's perfect.

But please, don't forget about the PS3! This, i think, you should really look into. The online is free and offers most of the same great games that the 360 has, such as CoD4 and GTAIV. Exclusive games though, such as Halo 3, will still be console specific :/ But you do get MGS4, which is going to be one of the best stealth games out there. It has better hardware, although currently under utilized, the graphics will be much more prominent in the future and games will look so much better. The 360 has already reached it's peak (ex. Red Ring of Death) and devs are just mastering ways to make better algorithms. The PS3 however still has so much potential with it's Cell processors.

Lastly, hardware doesn't make a console, games do. Decide what games appeal to you, what kind of games too. Shooters will be prominent on the PS3 and 360. I must be honest, devs for the Wii just can't see the hidden potential in the Wii for shooters. But you never know, the Wii may one day become a hotspot for shooters. The Wii has fun pick up and play games, along with it's own group of hardcore games (SSBB, etc.). Controllers shouldn't be an issue. If you have a 360, you will get used to the analog sticks and if you have a Wii, you will get used to the Wiimote. It just takes time.

EDIT: and like T3K mentioned, there are tons of games out there for each console, probably some you may have never heard of but may be interested in.

while endless ocean and battalion wars 2 are fun games, they are not "good" games that you would use to justice a purchase of a console.

your username suits you well. (sorry i see that youre trying but you need to get some of your facts straight)

I wouldn't buy a 360, How many years has it been out now ? Microsoft will probably make an announcement that a new console will be available soon and you will regret your purchase.
