PS3/Wii/Xbox 360

Post in here for evidence for the assignment.

Which one is better? Why? Disscuss.

Each console has good things.

PS3 is expensive but comes with a Blue Ray player which is worth it.

Wii is good for friends and family, not really a hard core gaming console, this is also because it has poor graphics and processing power, compared to the Xbox 360. It slightly beats the first xbox specification.

Xbox 360 is more of a hard core gaming, a lot of games are designed for singleplayer with a possible of a multiplayer option.

There are many, many advantages that the Xbox 360 has over the Wii and PS3. The Xbox 360 is the power house gaming console with the better graphics and the lean towards more older, mature gamers. The console also has the most violent games out of the two. I would however say that the Xbox is the more vulnerable to hardware failure and this may be the consoles undoing in the future unless it is resolved soon.

All three consoles however have their benefits and advantages.

These comments are good but there wrong the Wii is the best, this is because it is so much fun and you can spend hours on end playing with you friends. I know it does not have the same graphics as the Xbox 360 or the PS3 but the game play is so much better and you have a controller that you to swing around to make stuff work e.g. it so interactive. Also the line of game are so much better and are better known then most over games. I could go on for a long time but yer im board and need to get bk to work……

there are advanteges to having each of these

wii- has less processing power than the others but has a wide range of games many exclusives and alot cheaper than the other 2 the wii is my personal fav

xbox - high graphics, great online gaming has a few exclusives and a good range of games, cost is mid ranged but does have over heating problems

ps3- i hate this one pesonaly i think it is a waste of space. its overly expesive graphics are around the same as xbox 360 it only has a few exclusives and the range of games is low. and online the 360 is better

The Xbox 360 is the best console, face these facts:

CPU – 3.2 GHz PPC Tri-Core Xenon

GPU – 500 MHz ATI Xenos

Media – DVD, DVD-DL, CD, Add on: HD DVD

System Storage – 20 or 120 GB Hard Drive, 64, 256, or 512 MB Memory Card

However, the Wii's technical specifications are much weaker:

CPU – IBM PowerPC-based “Broadway” – 729 Megahertz.

GPU – ATI “Hollywood” – 243 Megahertz.

Media – 12 cm Wii Optical Disc + 8 cm Gamecube Game Disc

The Xbox 360 would be better for hardcore gamers and graphics, the Wii graphics are poor and are only slightly better than the first Xbox. Therefore if you would want a console with better graphics or better processing power. An Xbox360 would be better for a gamer that wants better graphics.

The Wii would be better for someone that wants to have some fun with family and friends, therefore the graphics wouldn't matter so much.

The Wii controllers can sometimes appear very slow when operated to close to the sensor bar.
The system does not respond well to some movements.
No matter if you are sitting on standing, you can still play the game as long as your arms are doing the correct movements.
The console is very expensive.
The extra controllers are expensive.

Many of the games that are now being released for the Xbox 360 and the PS3now run at 60fps - Frame's per second. I know of no Wii games that run at 60fps.

Such games that do run at 60fps are:

Call Of Duty 4
Devil May Cry 4
Grand Theft Auto 4
