The right console
I think the hardest decision to make when it comes to modern gaming is which console to get. Unfortunately in current economic times none of us can afford to get an Xbox, a PS3 and a Wii and with the cost of games and all the additional extras you have to make sure that the one you get fits your long term gaming needs. Hopefully whichever one you chose it will give you a lot of enjoyment and have you chucking those Chess sets away!
The first criteria that will help you make your decision will be looking at the types of games you are interested in. If great graphics and titles such as Modern Warfare 3 are what you are looking for you can disregard the Wii as an option. While the Wii has fantastic interactive controls, it doesn’t have the ability to deliver such graphically rich games as the PS3 or Xbox. If then you are a hardcore gamer then one of these is your option, if you are focused on family games and social gaming then the Wii is definitely an option. The Xbox and PS3 have both developed their own equivalent of the Wii gaming system recently however these are expensive extras that you have to buy separately. As such they are a fun addition for the hardcore gamer, but if family fun and entertaining but not heavy gaming is your target these seem to be a bit in excess.
The next question to ask yourself is what do you want the console for? This will help you differentiate between an Xbox and PS3, which share a lot of game titles and have equally impressive graphics. The PS3 has free access internet gaming as well as a blue-ray player which tops the Xbox’s pay for online service as well as standard DVD player. The PS3 also has web browsing functionality and access to the BBC iPlayer. The Xbox while lacking this browsing capability does allow you to purchase movies online and has access to Sky TV providing you are a sky member.
Price is the final issue to consider and with the PS3 being the most expensive, Xbox being the middle ground and Wii being the cheapest I will leave you with the following conclusion:
- Wii is cheap and cheerful with lots of exclusive titles and fun game controls.
- PS3 is the whole package with all the additional extras but requires a hardcore gamer with a big bank account.
- Xbox is the middle ground, it has a lot of the titles that are on PS3 and some of its capability but it also has probably the best controller with kinect. It is a little bit Wii and a little bit PS3.
