Nintendo Wii vs. PlayStation 3

The Nintendo Wii seems to be winning the rivalry with Nintendo and Sony. The Nintendo Wii is only $249.99 while the PS3's lowest price is $499. The Nintendo Wii also is more interactive. When you play Tennis in the game "Wii Sports" you actually swing the wii remote like you were swinging a tennis racket. The Wii also comes bundled with the game Wii Sports so you don't have to go spend $50 or more on a game right away (unless you don't like Wii Sports, but I think it is pretty likeable and is probably one of the most interactive games on the Wii) like you would if you got a PS3. The Wii has Internet and WiFi capabilities and also a channel called the Wii Shop Channel where you buy games from the older systems. The systems are NES, SNES, Nintendo64, Sega Genesis and the TurboGrafx16. New games are released onto the Wii Shop Channel every Monday. The channels on the Wii are The Disc Channel, Mii Channel, Photo Channel, Wii Shop Channel, Forecast Channel, News Channel, Internet Channel and the Everybody Votes Channel. Also, each game that you buy off of the Wii Shop Channel becomes its own channel. I bought Super Mario 64 and Mario Kart 64 off of the Wii Shop Channel. To sum this up, in my opinion, I think that the Nintendo Wii is better than the PS3.
