I think that the Nintendo Wii is by far the better video game console. They are hard to compare because they are so different. But if you are looking for an well-rounded system that you can play, I recommend the Nintendo Wii. Here is some of the reasons that I would pick the Nintendo Wii before I would pick the Playstation 3.

The main difference between the Nintendo Wii and the Playstation 3 is price. Playstation 3 is over $500, where as the Wii you can purchase for $250. I am sorry, but I cannot personally afford $500 for a video game system. They are too expensive in the first place. The Playstation 3 does not even come with a game, where the Wii comes with one. It's not a great game, but at least it is something to try the system out.

The Nintendo Wii has by far a better game selection. There is over 80 games available for it, and Playstation has about 35 games. There is not really any family, fun, and easy games for the Playstation. There are all sports, fighting and racing games. If you are going to spend hundreds of dollars on video game systems and accessories, it should be something that the whole family can use.

Another benefit to the Nintendo Wii is the interaction. With the use of the controller and nun-chuck, you can get the sense of virtual reality and the feel of actually being in the game. It is a great way to sit with the whole family and play games. I think when Nintendo came out with this it revolutionized the way we will play video games forever.

One downfall someone could see to the Nintendo Wii is that it cannot be used as a DVD players as Xbox 360 and Playstation 3 can. Well, DVD players are very inexpensive so you can buy that and a Wii and still come out cheaper than buying either of those systems. Also, the games are ten dollars cheaper than the other two systems. Overall, I think you are getting a better value with the Nintendo Wii and you will have a system with more video games and it will last longer. Nintendo has been out for a long time, and they know how to make people smile!
