Wii Battle Of The Consoles

Competition is one of the best things on earth that propel companies to keep improving and giving out the best for their customers. Computer games are no exception, and the competition in this genre has taken a higher level in battle between Nintendo Wii and Play Station 3. In this Nintendo Wii vs. PS 3 scenario, while both will show their mettle in the best way their companies can possibly present, only one will emerge to be the ideal choice for gamers.

With regard to specifications, both consoles are truly state-of-the-art and offers the best of what their company is known for. In reality, gamers do not really give much importance to the specifications of any console, but for purely evaluation purposes, it would be best to state that Sony has totally created a computer within the PS 3 because it has ample networking capabilities, ideal resolution and a huge disk drive (60 GB, give or take). On the other hand, the less complicated interface of Nintendo Wii boasts of USB drives, WiFi and 512 MB. Given the price difference, they have truly provided each customer’s money’s worth should they buy it.

In terms of price, PS 3 costs about twice as much as Nintendo Wii. In PS 3, you will have two options: the base and the premium variety, which costs $500 and $600, respectively. Nintendo Wii costs around $250 only.

Of course, the main highlight of purchasing either Nintendo Wii or PS 3 is this big question: “What’s in it for me?” There are lots of games lined up for Nintendo Wii than for PS 3. There are 62 expected launched games for Nintendo, with 30 readily available for download since they are previously offered in other Nintendo gaming models in the past. There are 21 games to be expected from Sony for their most recent Play Station model, and it clearly is less than half of what Nintendo has to offer its gamers.

Visual resolution is another facet of gaming that these two companies truly considered. While Nintendo has been able to keep at par with the usual screen resolution that you see in most media today, Sony has actually gone the extra mile and made PS 3 more visually appealing than all the other existing consoles in the market today.

You will hardly see any pixilation from the screen as you play since it has 1080p, as compared to the meager 480p of Nintendo. In addition to that, PS 3 has a nifty Blu-ray disc player that will account for an extremely satisfying viewing and gaming experience.

Both the Nintendo Wii and PS 3 are ideal consoles and competitive enough in their own rights. But for practicality purposes, Nintendo Wii will win with its numerous gaming options and economic value. But for more intense viewing experience and for the gaming groups who find themselves bored with the usual things offered in the market, PS 3 may be able to provide them the excitement and novelty they seek even at the expense of a high price to pay.
