PS3 vs Wii vs XBox 360

The answer to your question

So after all of that, who is the console king?
PS3 looks like it's delivered, with huge potential, the xbox 360 leads the way with games and the wii, whilst fun, seems to be lacking in support.... (but I haven't played on any...)

Blimey!! Talk about dragging up threads!!

In the end I bought a PS2 (and light gun for me) and an XBox360 for the kids. I figured that was best of both worlds.

Now we just don't get much time to watch the TV, unless it's CBBC/CBeebies.

I would definitely say that the 360 has the edge on the PS3 at the moment. Ive not played the Sony but having bought the 360 i can thoroughly recommend one as in my opinion, due to the march it has on the PS3 for games/community etc, it will remain on top for sometime if not the duration of this next gen of consoles. The Wii sadly is already falling behind and having played on it on numerous occasions, I can say that I found it nothing more than a gamecube with a novelty pad. Sadly, for longevity, I cant see it lasting and know of more than one person who's sold their Wii after a few weeks of playing.

Interestingly, the PS3 doesnt seem to have as many outlets selling games as the 360 does...

I did notice most wii games are just adapted gamecube ones. The PS3 has a similar controller to the wii built in, so theoretically should offer the same fun. I was looking at prices of 360 vs ps3, it seems they're similar - by the time you've got the better 360 with the good dvd drive, plus the fact that the 360 requires a yearly network subscription when sony's is free

From Ebay, the subscription is less than £20 and its a much bigger network (at the mo)

Apologies if i'm repeating anything, but i'm half cut and can't be arsed to read the rest.

The Wii is great, easier to share, i never used to get to play my other games much coz it meant hogging the tv but with the wii it's more fun to play with others and even the wife enjoys it. The graphics are not as good but imo the gameplay is better.

Or upgrade your pc and play WOW.......

being bored to read through all 5 pages of valuable information here is my 2p

If I understood ur little ones problem then I believe he would need something that would also involve him making some body movements. If so then the Wii is your best option! most of the time you need to use both hands and probably be standing. So might be good for coordination etc etc.

Assuming the kiddo had no problems then I would go for the xbox360 premium package! basically graphics are a lot better and you get a huge variety of games plus there are ways of playing backup games (of ur own original ones ofcourse )

Ebay is your friend if you're after a 360. PLenty enough on there.

PS3 don't even waste your breath on it. Not enough games, too expensive for yet another game console and tbh unless you will do things with the Linux side of the PS3 and use the bluray drive then save you £400+ for something else.

I'd vote for the wii if you're looking to improve the lad's hand-eye coordination and social skills.
