Xbox 360 vs Wii

[balend]

well, with the release of halo 3 this month do you think the xbox 360 is going to outsell the wii during september

just wondering what some of your thoughts on are

Well the 360 has already sold the most consoles; I don't think it will out-sell the Wii, but Halo 3 will definitely improve sales

Wiis caught up to 306 so quickly they are about 400k consoles away from them. (http://nexgenwars.com/)

I say that both are equal, depending on what kind of thing you're into. If you are looking to lose some extra weight or really "get in the game" while playing, Wii is your haven. Also, if you want a happy atmosphere, go for Wii. For a gloomy, dark, more serious atmosphere, go for XBox. Also....Halo has its own environment =) HALO, YEAH!!! I would go for XBox. It's more my style of playing.

They already HAVE overtaken the 360. ( http://vgchartz.com/ ; Much more accurate. NGW uses a script that steadily counts up at a set pace, they are no where near accurate when it comes to sales stats. )

Will the 360 get that back? Maybe. Will it pass up the Wii again? No.

Why?

Super Smash Bros. Brawl comes out in December. And Super Mario Galaxy not long after that, I think. Two heavy hitting titles will be fresh out of the gate, while most anyone who wanted Halo 3, will have likely gotten it by then.

I don't know. I think that the 360 targets serious gamers more than the Wii, because the Wii has...how many utterly stupid and pointless games? The Wii is a disgrace to gaming counsels, in my opinion. But I have no opinion on which will sell better, as I have no ideas how the systems have sold thus far.​

The Wii controlles can be easily broken while the xbox 360 has a wider range of titles to choose from. Nintendo aims their consoles at small children so you won't find that many good games. Try comparing Super Mario to Halo 3

 

[Spartan Erik]

Yeah Super Mario Galaxy? How long have they been milking that cash cow? Same goes for Super Smash.. it can only remain so good for so long

 

[Sohail]

Yeah, they are classics but people these days want high resolution graphics with high processing speeds and big hard drives. Something like the PS3 - It maybe expensive but it's worth the value!

 

[naynesh]

I would choose the Xbox 360 because its got better graphic as the wii has low level game.The 360 gives you an experience of a lifetime.Even the littlest of things on the xbox 360 can become the biggest of things!!!

I actually regret my purchase of a Wii. It's just a $250 centerpiece in my living room after I finished zelda. The next game I plan on getting is SSB, so it's a huge waste of my money.

 

[tinytinker]

wii is ok if you just wanna game for like an hour a day or you wanna be active, i wouldnt wanna play games like halo3 with motion sensativity.

I would of got a ps3 if it wasnt for the hefty price tag however we will be getting one, WII however is way down on the list, its further down than buying a new bin, or going to visit the inlaws (who btw do have a wii lol)

halo 3 kills all system wii and ps3 are offical all dead now.

 

[Jambo]

I bought a Wii a few months ago, I didn't expect too much from it because of the superior graphics from both the 360 and the PS3 but I wanted a system I could play with my girlfriend and Super Mario Brothers seemed right up her alley. 3 Months later, I choose the Wii almost always over the 360. It's interactive and the graphics really aren't too bad. I think as new games continue to be released the Wii will continue to outsell the 360. Of course it's my personal opinion but I think the Wii is here to stay.

X360 is better than Wii because you can play Halo 3 on it

 

[LyteNight]

The Wii's going to get Guitar Hero III with special features only available for it so I expect the Guitar Hero III release will boost up the Wii's popularity more than it already is. Also the Wii supports USB Keyboards now for Channels such as the Internet Channel.

The Wii is catering to the casual gamer who likes gaming in spurts. The library pretty much tells this as its mainly minigames with shoddy, gimmicky controls and 3-5 year old ports (Not to mention games that were released 10-15 years ago).

Simply the games are not for me. I get bored playing "swing your arms around" all day.

It's pretty obvious that the 360 is better.

The only good think Wii has is the price... Nintendo is dying... sorry guys...

Nintendo isn't dying. What they are doing is killing the hardcore gamers in favor of the casual market. Apparently women and the elderly is there main concern now.

I think that Xbox 360 is better then Wii becouze that is Xbox 360 is with joystick & not so that you could get hurt in the arms...i have tried Xbox 360 & Wii & i don´t like Wii, but that is upp to each person
