PS3 Vs. Wii
My husband and I cant decided if we want a ps3 or a wii. What do you ladies think? we already have a BR player, but he wants the ps3 for madden and Final Fantasy when it comes out, and we couldnt play it that much. With the Wii we know we would use it when we have guest over (which isnt a lot) and I think I would use it more, but its not as amazing as a PS3, we walked around Best Buy for at least an hour tonight trying to decide, I think we are going to sleep on it though!

Re: PS3 Vs. Wii
The PS3 and Wii are totally different animals, as you've pointed out.
We have both, and the PS3 gets the most use, mostly because of how useful it is as a home media center. We use it to watch Netflix movies, downloaded shows, and as our primary Blu-Ray/DVD player.
As for games, it entirely depends on what you want it for. PS3 is mostly for playing solo games and online-only multiplayer games, and have some very good games in my opinion. They have a few games for in-the-same-room multiplayer (for when friends are over), but they can't hold a candle to the Wii in that department.
As for the Wii being less powerful, that doesn't really mean a lot unless graphics are super important to you. The Wii has some amazing games out, as well as the ability to download classic Nintendo and Sega games through their virtual console.
I hope that helps with your decision, even though I didn't really give a solid one-or-the-other answer.
My son has both and almost never uses his Wii. He said that Nintendo hasn't come out with enough interesting games (for his interests) for a long time. His PS3 gets a lot more use than his Wii. He likes action games (Call of Duty, Assassin's Creed, etc) and likes to play online with his friends.
I think it all depends on the games he's interested in and which system will have more games that are in line with his interests.
This. PS3 is definitely the more serious gamer's console, where the Wii is a cutesy, fun social game console. We have a PS3 and are very happy with it, if that matters.
I'd agree for the most part, but whether the games are better or not depends on what sort of games you are looking for. If you like solo-play games, first-person shooters, that sort of thing, then PS3 is the way to go. If you like party games or old-school Nintendo games, then the Wii is the way to go.
