Wii or PS3?

On of MS's PR team's favourite things to do is take a stab at the competition and enforce the idea of "only on 360". "360 has the highest attach rate" "360 has sold the most here" "360 is the best!". It's not directly mentioning the competition (though they're bad for that too), but it's basically saying "you make the right choice with our console over the other 2".

Sony on the other hand likes to talk and make a lot of claims. Some come, some don't. Their PR has taken a stab at the RROD and brought up the stability of the console. All they do is promote Blu-Ray as a key feature that you can ONLY get with the PS3. Sony too says "Our console is the one you should choose, not the other 2".

Sony and Microsoft LOVE the console wars. They may not have created it but they certainly will do everything possible to keep it around.

That's what I meant when I said 'They talk about the other consoles sometimes but that's about it.' I was meaning they didn't create it, but of course they still like to promote their own consoles and so on. I've seen plenty of news articles where someone from Microsoft subtly slates the PS3 without really mentioning it xD Same with Sony.

At the risk of sounding bias I can safely say MS is much worse for it than Sony. Nintendo is relatively innocent. The only thing I've seen Nintendo do in that field is taking shots at the RROD when it was the cool thing to do, and making cracks about the controls of the competition.

I don't believe in this for two reasons GTA was never an Exclusive to the PS and the game wasn't even confirmed by Rockstar I bet this was just a rumor.

Bioshock was never an exclusive in the first place since it came out on the PC and Xbox 360 and this rumor was confirmed to be false by 2K. But PS3 fans would like that a lot.

Bioshock was originally designed to be multi-platform. Just google bioshock PS3 and you'll see plenty of reports on a port for september.

The poll is closed now but I would've voted for the PS3. The only things on the wii that interest me are Mario Kart and the new Tales game.

Wii = Tales of Symphonia 2 (I'm such a tales nerd I might be forced to get a Wii just for that, sadly).

PS3/360 = Tales of Vesperia.

I vote PS3 as it's more powerful and Sony are now beginning to expand into the Wii market. Don't get me wrong, the wii is fun, but there is more on the PS3.

Hands up who's broken light fittings with the wii controller whilst playing tennis?

I thought Vesperia was 360 only?

I love Tales of Symphonia but I won't be buying a Wii just for two games.

It depends how you look at it.
nintendo has really tapped into interactive gaming.
I mean, ps3 is good and everything.
But nintendo wii includes everyone in the gaming process
in that sense, it is more successful.

Personally i prefer the wii because it is alot more fun. ^^
but then again, i'm biased because I grew up with nintendo consoles.
