thats a really overall great postSuperH said:I have all three. These are advantages/disadvantages... to ME. They consider the highest models of all consoles (except the Wii, of course, which currently only has one model).
Wii Pros:
-Controller
-Game library -- fun and interesting
-Virtual console
-Slim, sleek design
-Full backward compatibility with GameCube games
Wii Cons:
-480p
-No multimedia features
-No online gaming (yet)
-No ethernet port onboard (out of the box). I don't like using WiFi more than I have to.
-Miis are really nice (they just need used more)
Xbox 360 Pros:
-Halo
-Xbox Live is well established
-HD graphics
-Limited backward compatibility, but things that are backward compatible are upconverted to HD
-DVD upconversion (over PC output or the upcoming HDMI)
Xbox 360 Cons:
-Small hard disk no matter what configuration
-Noisy fan
-No full backward compatibility
-Expensive to get "full potential" (such as the HD-DVD drive)
-Online gaming costs money
PS3 Pros:
-Sony game developers
-Wireless, rechargable controllers
-Bluetooth compatibility with a variety of devices (including keyboards/mice as of Firmware 1.6)
-Near-full backward compatibility (US version), ~75% with the UK version
-HDMI output
-Stunning, HD visuals
-Interfaces with the PSP
-Ability to install another operating system (like Linux) out of the box for a true multimedia experience
-Folding@Home is great for research
-Online gaming is free
-Some hardware is software upgradable (such as the BluRay drive with Firmware 1.6 -- it can now read burned BluRay discs).
-Playstation Home (upcoming)
-Gigabit ethernet AND WiFi onboard
-Unlimited memory cards for PS2 and PS1 games (as much room as there is HD space)
-Ability to save game and program data onto USB memory devices
-Can play back many formats, such as WMA (since firmware 1.6) and MP3
-BluRay playback out of the box
PS3 Cons:
-It's a bit expensive (but a good value if you use all the features)
-No HD upconversion (though Sony has stated they are adding it for movies (maybe games later, through software emulation -- currently rumored)
It may look like the PS3 has the most pros... It has the most pros, to me. It's not necessarily better (or worse).
A little about me, I am a gamer with a desire to use multimedia in any way possible - multimedia on video game consoles is a large advantage to me, and high definition is almost a requirement (the Wii is the only thing I have that isn't HD). To others, the list may be vastly different. I find myself using the PS3 the most, though.
but i have to disagree with 2 things
Wiis pro: great library, should be moved over to 360
wiis library...blows...everyone knows it, nothing keeps you interested for to long (except for zelda which is also a gc game) people are waiting for mario/metriod/what not
360 has all the bit hit games already out
