Which system should I buy next?

IYHP

EDIT: Aha. I forgot to press something. Oh well, forget the poll, just post Wii or PS3 and reason.

Well personally play the PS3 more. Just has more games that I tend to like. Haven't really played the Wii much since I played a bit of Monster Hunter Tri.

PS3. It has a smaller library, but it covers just about every genre pretty well. The Wii is great if you love Nintendo (which I do) and don't mind not getting much third party support. (which I do)

The Nintendo Fanboy in me came out again.

This page seems relevant to the discussion.

And some more reading material:
List of PlayStation 3 games - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (indicates console exclusives)
As for Wii exclusives, they're pretty easy to guess...

This article is from 2006, but it's a direct comparison:
Playstation 3 Versus Nintendo Wii: Which is Right for You? - Associated Content - associatedcontent.com
I posted that link mainly for the 145 comments, which start at August 2010 and proceed earlier. Rapid-fire, sometimes mindless, and entertaining arguments from average joes, ranging from technical differences to "PS3 is better cuz the name 'Wii' is gay." Good for studying up on what people think while possibly getting a good laugh.

I do not own either system, but I'm pushing for a Wii for Christmas. All I can say personally is that while considering your options, don't forget the Wii Virtual Console.

I hope you find these links somewhat informative.

Do you have friends?
--No: Buy a PS3
--Yes: Are they online friends or IRL friends?
----Online friends: Buy a 360
----IRL friends: Buy a Wii

Redshirt · 10-14-2010, 11:39 PM

online friends are good on Wii too

Dizzy · 10-15-2010, 12:54 AM

Sure, if you like second-long lag.

Seriously, I suck at online Brawling.

***Heroine of the Dragon*** · 10-15-2010, 06:27 AM

Wii... just because... ummmm... errr because I have 10 times the amount of Wii games compared to the PS3 games I own!!!

Kargath · 10-22-2010, 08:40 PM

The Wii is probably better for casual play with mates, and it's a lot cheaper than the PS3.

***CaptHayfever*** · 10-22-2010, 10:24 PM

One of these consoles is capable of playing all 3 Super Smash Bros.
The other is not.
Guess where my vote went.

And remember, "I'm-a Luigi, number one!"

I actually just played Brawl for the first time yesterday, and that may very well have singlehandedly convinced me to get a Wii.

GET THE PHANTOM YOU WON'T REGRET IT A+++ WOULD PLAY AGAIN

Fairlight Excalibur · 10-24-2010, 02:35 AM

The keyboard or the system? Because the Lapboard is rather expensive and the console, well, that could be hard to obtain.
