Which video game console is better Playstation 3 or Wii?

The Playstation 3 which is alo known as the PS 3 in short, is the best video game console released so far by Sony. It is the third console released by the Sony Computer Entertainment. It is a very special console for gaming which does stand out a lot when compared to many of todays consoles and also from it's predecessors.

It has many features that are usually not present in a gaming console. One of the most special things that was introduced to the Playstation 3 when compared to the other consoles released by Sony Computer Entertainment, was the Online Gaming system. Or rather also known as Playstation Network.

It is now independent from game developers when it comes to online game play. This was not the fact before as, Sony Computer Entertainment had a policy which made it dependent on game developers, for online gameplay.

The video game console, Playstation 3 was first released on November 11, 2006 in Japan. There were many different models of the Playstation 3 released all over the world. For instance, there were models with different storage space and there were models with different colours too. There were models of the Playstation 3 released with 20GB storage space, 40GB storage space, 60GB storage space, and 80GB storage space. The most recent releases have a 160GB storage space model too. That's a lot of storage space for a gaming console.

It's incredible the features, this sony's gaming console has got. It has Wi-Fi, Ethernet connectivity, Wireless Controllers, USB Ports, Blu-ray disc reader, DVD, and a whole lot of other really cool features.

The Playstation 3 is like it's predecessors when it comes to game titles. There is a very huge selection of really awesome games. One of the best games I have personally tried out is the game "Metal Gear Solid 4: No Place to Hide". That is a title everybody must play to understand the levels of realism attained with the Playstation 3 gaming console. The Playstation 3 console has in every way kept Sony's legacy of producing quality gaming consoles.

If we now take a look at the gaming console released by Nintendo, "Wii". Yes, that's the name, a strange one but innovative. Well, it is pronounced as the english word "we". This console has the advantage of covering a wider range of consumers. Really young kids as well as older people can easily find titles for the "Wii".

But something that cannot go unmentioned is that it does not a lot of features, the Playstation 3 gaming console has got. But here comes in another advantage that the Wii system has got. It has different controllers for different titles. There is one snowboarding game I played it was fun playing it with the "Wii Balance Board". The "Wii Balance Board" detects the the body movements and converts it into commands in the game. It's cool.

There is a very important feature that doesn't give any hope of winning to any console compared to Sony's Playstation 3. The graphics, yes, it is very important for many gamers. I find that no gaming console can match the eye-popping graphics of the Playstation 3 gaming console. It makes the characters in the games look very realistic.

So, as for a final opinion I feel the Playstation 3 gaming console is not only better than the Nintendo Wii system but actually better than all the other consoles released as seventh generation consoles.
