PS3 vs. Xbox 360 vs. Wii: The Current Breakdown - Video Game Feature - Yahoo! Video Games

Great article. Breaks down each system's pros and cons very well.

PlayStation 3
Pro: Best high-def support, tantalizing exclusives
Con: Most expensive, current software library still limited

XBox 360
Pro: Superb online functions, broadest software selection, strong hardware capabilities
Con: Lacks genuinely original software titles

Wii
Pro: Original software library, classic Nintendo franchises, past and present, unique control method irresistible to non-gamers, strong multiplayer and family library
Con: Inferior graphics and sound, misses out on most big cross-platform releases, full-featured online games still a pipedream

Basically, the PS3 will have the best exclusive games, the 360 will be the best system, and the Wii will have the most appeal to the masses. I think everybody can agree.

Especially among little kids, but you are right. I'm not so sure the PS3 will have the best exclusive games, but you can argue that.

i would have to put the wii there for best exclusive games Mario, Zelda those are two heavy hitters.

No doubt that XBox 360 has the best hardware and that it will win out with online functionality, but Gran Turismo, Final Fantasy and Metal Gear (among others) are franchises you just can't argue with.

Most of those cross-platform titles, particularly EA Sports, will be better on the 360. But Sony does have the better exclusive titles... So you just gotta decide what's more important.

Nintendo would argue the hell out of that. Zelda, All the different kinds of mario games, hell you can even put wii sports in there now.

**milohimself** · 07-20-2007, 08:39 AM

Well yeah... I mean Zelda is probably the best franchise of all-time. But it almost seems like Nintendo is out doing its own thing while Microsoft and Sony will battle it out for #2.

Yeah forgot about Metroid but i agree with you Zelda is the best franchise out there. Ocrana of time was unreal then the one for the cube wind waker was good and this last one is right there with ocrana if you ask me.

SmokeyVol · 07-20-2007, 01:28 PM

Zelda is the main reason that I'm getting a Wii

Vol Mania 21 · 07-20-2007, 02:41 PM

don't forget bases loaded and bases loaded II

**tvolsfan** · 07-21-2007, 07:33 AM

Am I the only one who tries to play Zelda and gets bored now?

mason3132 · 07-21-2007, 07:55 AM

Yeah i guess your the only one.

Looks like MGS will be coming off the exclusive list a few months after 4 comes out. Its been reported in a few places that MGS4 will be ported for the 360.
