Not to sound rude, but we already have topics about this.

Besides, is it even POSSIBLE to get your hands on a PS3?

yeah it's possible...a store down the street from me just got a shipment.
i searched for a topic like this one and didn't find one, so i made one.

Well here's a suggestion from the healthier point of view. If you buy the Wii you'll exercise a lot since you are swinging a controller. However, if you are not careful and you swing too hard, expect to have a broken TV soon.

I was rather thinking about the topic of Wii vs PS3, where this could be a fitting question =o

Well right now you're debating between two of the consoles that are in trouble right now. With PS3 probably dropping from the market and the Wii being sued.

that is true. but what, in your opinion, should i get if the ps3 doesn't drop from the market, and the wii fixed thier product and continues to sell it.

I don't know, I'm not that much of a fan of console games. But if it were me, I'd choose between which console had better games.

It's easier to get a Wii, and the games are more interactive.

Personally, I don't think the PS3 is worth it at the moment.

Wait until the PS3 gets games that matches it's next gen capabilities. If you do get a Wii, take safety measures.

As I see it right now, the Wii is more suited for casual/new gamers and the PS3 is for people who want to be more immersed into their games. One of the biggest reasons why the Wii gameplay is so "revolutionary" is that it entices people outside of the gaming world to join in and realize that gaming isn't the mindless thing it used to be. The PS3, however, has the technology to immerse its users more emotionally into the games and capture them into the story/gameplay. Ultimately, I see each system as having it's own audience rather than being "The best system"

Wii = New users, casual gamers, younger audiences, families, Zelda fans
PS3 = Experienced gamers, older audiences (adults), techies
XBOX 360 = Online gamers, XBOX fans, teenagers, and Halo fans

The Wii and PS3, however, are geared towards completely polar audiences. Only the more open-minded and flexible gamers would really enjoy both. The differences between these nex-gen system are much different than the previous systems. Instead of area of gameplay, their differences lie in their audiences. Ultimately all 3 are great systems. As far as quality goes though, the XBOX 360 is in my mind trailing in the race.

Personally, my vote goes to the PS3, but that's just because it appeals to me more than it does the Wii. I'll be getting the Wii also, just after I get the PS3.

Im for the budget (and Wii definitely takes my money for it)

Wii. At least for now - there are no games that make buying a PS3 worth the investment...the overpriced investment.

Then again, I bought a PS2 when the first Xenosaga game came out so I tend to buy systems when a game is released for it that I really need to play =P
