Xbox 360 vs. Wii

I am debating which one to get for our family. I have a 4 yr old and a 2 yr old and want to get one of these consoles and some kids games that have dancing, singing, etc. 

I am thinking that an xbox 360 with kinect would be better for the little ones because there's no controller to hang onto. 

Any thoughts on which would be better? I don't know much about the actual hardware in them.

  • XBox 360 and Kinect for sure!

  • For me, I would love an Xbox 360, but I would be hesitant with children because there seem to be more violent titles on the Xbox 360. Also, having the controllers is good to work on their motor skill development :)!

  • With kids that young, I would go with the Xbox 360 and Kinect.  They will love it!
  • Okay I'm leaning heavily towards the Xbox 360 w/kinect. I am not too worried about violent games, because for the next decade or longer I expect I will have complete control over what they play. 

    Thanks for the input!

  • we personnally have both and for younger children the xbox360 is better. theres to much involved with the wii remotes for little kids attention span. if you get the kinect and like the kinectimals game( i think thats what its called) the kids can control their own animal and can talk to it and everything which i think its pretty cool. and since they are only 2 and 4 then you can control what they play for now and you can choose the appropiate games for them.
